Supreme x The North Face - Expedition Pullover Jacket

2010-03-24T03:05:00.000-04:00

At the beginning of March, Moose Limited created quite a stir with an exclusive, previously unseen collaborative jacket from Supreme and The North Face. Now, the news is official with fresh release and product information from the duo. Supreme had partnered up with The North Face to create the Expedition Pullover which is designed with a 100% waterproof nylon 3layer faille weave shell with tricot backing and full taped seams for all-weather protection. The Expedition Pullover comes in three colorways, camouflage, black and a bright red/blue version. The jacket is perfect for men on the go as it is lightweight and warrants protection against both rain and wind chills. The jackets will be available in-store and online on March 18, and for those in Japan, they will be dropping on March 20.

2010-03-24T02:55:00.003-04:00

We recently showed you a three-part documentary film that paid respect to the work of J Dilla. Dilla’s production has provided the backdrop for some of our generation’s finest hip-hoppers–A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Tha Pharcyde, and Slum Village, among scores of others. Stones Throw Records, with whom he released the “Champion Sound” and “Donuts” albums, is releasing a Donuts pack album. This pack features three unreleased instrumental tracks selected by Beat Junkie J. Rocc, three altered instrumental versions of songs he crafted for Mos Def, Q-Tip, and Busta Rhymes, two donuts slipmats, and two control vinyl records for use with Serato Scratch Live interfaces. The pack is available for pre-order now from Stones Throw’s site (where you can also download an unreleased Dilla instrumental from the album), and it will release the day after Mother’s Day, May 10th, so get yours now and support the Dilla Estate.

This special one-week exhibition features candid photographs of Mos Def, including images from visits to the Cape of Great Hope,South Africa, performing in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and a powerful series of US Summer Tour “end-of-the-night posse shots” featuring such artists as Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and even a surprise guest appearance by the legendary Shuggie Otis.

Some guy is selling a prop replica of Marty's 2015 Nike shoes from Back to the Future on eBay. The current bid is $405, which is a bit high considering it's just a replica. Although if Nike had any business sense at all they'd just mass produce these and start shipping them out to stores tomorrow. I'm pretty sure there's not a man alive who could resist a shoe that looks like it could launch you into space.

Nike Air Penny 1/2 (Half Cent) | Available Now

2009-10-10T10:56:00.003-04:00

The Nike Air Penny 1/2 Cent blue and black model was a certified hit, something very few hybrid models have been able to claim. Combining elements of the famed Penny foamposite models, this model benefits from a slick colorway of metallic silver and black. Though Penny himself never wore those uniform colors, this sneaker will surely snap necks. Nike cut no corners for the tooling of his shoe, as the ankle band features the Penny symbol, while the sole features a hologram of the Penny cartoon (who also appears on the heel in silhouette form). Some may remember the foamposite Duncan model, which was also just retroed recently, in the use of silver foamposite material through the upper. These beauties have just begun to drop, so peep out House of Hoops or osneaker if you want a pair.

If you’re concerned, a hood is hidden within the funnel neck. The parka simply looks great, and you can’t beat Japanese construction.
