Nike Roshe Run Fb - Leopard Pack
I'm a huge fan of the Roshe Run, and i must say so far so good on the themes and colorways they are applying to them. Today we bring you two from the Leopard Pack. Apparently a few of these have released in small quantities. As with anything dope, these sold out promptly at Oneness, we will be sure to let you guys know if they restock.

LeBron X Denim
With a "quickstrike" release date set for June 22nd, the newest LeBron X features an upper made out of denim, with accents of hazelnut. The sole is fireberry colored and I think it is the perfect contrast, saving the shoe from the dooms of denim. With a price tag of $180, this is honestly not a bad pick up if you can find them. What do you guys think?

Cam'ron's $150 Socks
No typos here! Yup, rapper Cam'ron decided to hop in on the Elite game, after seeing his likeness everywhere I suppose. Well these dont actually feature the rapper, but more so his "set" the Diplomats. True, I was a fan in their heyday, but that has since passed as has my need for $150 socks. These are not dyed with angel tears, nor will they help you rap better. Just a pair of custom Nike Elite socks, that dont come with shoes. Check them out here!

The Wolf on Wall Street
I've been hearing some buzz about this movie for a few days now. I just made it around to checking out the trailer, and from what I see, it seems pretty dope. The movie is based on the the memoirs from John Belfort, apparently a former big shot on wall street. The movie gives the audience a ride through the highs and lows of Belfort's personal and professional lives. We also see his battles with drug and alcohol addiction. The Wolf on Wall Street is directed by Martin Scorcese and features Leonardo DiCaprio in the leading role. Check out the first trailer from the upcoming film here.

I've been holding onto this tape for a while now, and have been enjoying it thoroughly. For this week's installation of Music Monday we bring you "Blue Money," from the Bay Area's own Jay Ant! This tape has been around for a month or two now has taken some time to make it to the East Coast where the LL "offices" are located. I've played this tape day in and day out since I've downloaded it, and it is quickly taking over my 'most played" list on iTunes. My favorite tracks are "Alien" and "Dreams and Promises." A lot of the production is done by Jay Ant himself and the remainder is credited to members of his crew 'The Invasion.' Download Blue Money here!

Pimp C
We usually wait until Mondays to bring you bring you new music, but this one could not wait. I found it just nosing around on soundcloud, its amazing how much talent the world has to offer. Well my search quickly lead me to a track entitled "Pimp C." The track Pimp C features a sample of the late Chad Butler, paying a sort of homage to him. Brought to us by Atlanta based Money Makin' Nique, I believe this song is worth instant classic status. Check it out!
Jason Kidd
As I'm sure many of you have heard by now, All-time great point guard Jason Kidd has retired. He's been playing close to my entire life, 19 years, and its sad to see him go. We all saw a decline in Kidd this season with the New York Knicks so we knew it wasn't too far off. In those 19 years, Kidd managed to snag a NBA championship during his time with the Dallas Mavericks and two Olympic gold medals with the USA Olympic basketball team. KOF brings us some of Kidds memorable, and some not so memorable sneaker moments in kids career. Check it out here!
Jordan V Grape Mask
The custom mask thing has been becoming more prevalent now days. This one is brought to us by Freehand Profit.although I appreciate the amount of time and the skill set it took to create this, I'm not sure of any practical application for it. But, it would make a dope centerpiece in your living room or something. Anyway take a look, and let us know how you feel!

Size? Urban Safari Pack
Through collaborative efforts with Nike, UK based Size? has unveiled its "Urban Safari" pack, which will release June 7th at retail locations as well as online. Size? used the classic Air Max Light as the silhouette for this project, and honestly I dont think they could have come out cleaner. Featuring suede accents, a safari printed Nike swoosh, and the ever popular speckled sole, the entire project is very well executed. If anyone is feeling up to it, send two pair of size tens to the LL offices! Check out additional photos here!

Music Monday
This morning, we bring you a kid we've long been a fan of here at LL. Joey BadA$$. Im not sure how he keeps doing it, but he does. Featured on an upcoming project entitled Summer Knights, the song, Word is Bond captures Joey over piano melodies given to us by Statik Selektah. If this high caliber of music carries throughout the mixtape (I believe it will), I'm anxiously anticipating its release. Check it Out! Stay tuned for an official video.

Individually they are $260 and $130 respectively. Its always great to treat yourself! Happy Friday!

Nike SB Low | Viotech Retro
Its been a while since a pair of SB lows have caught my eye. I generally shy away from them, I never figured out how to rock them I suppose. Well aside from my problems, this is a dope shoe. According to Nicekicks, this shoe originally released in 2002. And through some release I've found they were very popular after the fact (Most SBs fall into this category) and jumped as high as $300 in auction. As of now there is no confirmed release date, but be sure to keep your ears open at your local SB retailer.

Today, we bring you a look at Nicekicks.com's Live Look session, featuing the Reebok Scrimmage. With an all red upper, teal accents and a gum and white sole, these shoes are just in time for the summer. At first sight I thought they were repulsive, but watching the video gave me a view detailed angles and I'm sure I'd pull the trigger on them now. Releasing this weekend, with a retail price of only $100, is this a cop for you or an easy pass? Let us know!

Ray-Bans Summer '13
I remember freshman year people often though I had an eye condition, or some extreme sensitivity to light. Well, yes and no. I had a condition but it was nothing medical, it was just a part of me that wanted everyone to see the most expensive accessory I owned, the tortoise shell Ray-Ban Wayfarer. It was the most expensive thing I had purchased at that point that wasn't a pair of sneakers! I still have those glasses, and by the looks of it I'll be picking up a newer pair sometime soon. Sneakhype.com brings us the summer '13 Wayfarer Collection. Check it out!

The Land Before Facetime
One of the worst things that could happen in your youth, occurred when you finally bagged that cutie at the mall Friday after school and promised to call her. Only to wake up the next morning (or afternoon) and discover your mom washed the jeans, with her number still in the back pocket! Unfortunately, what was once a movie date and a possible second base opportunity is now, nothing more than a grey dust spread throughout the dryer. F*&$!! Well, the guys over at FourPins dive into the world of dating and courtship before the internet and smartphone era, check it out!

LeBron What The MVP Release Info
What the...?? My original impressions when first viewing this shoe. But, just like the "cute" cousin, your homie's gf has for you, after a few intense stare downs, some awkward moments and noticing the attention to detail, you realize it's not that bad, and it might be worth your while. I'm still talking about the shoe here, that other one was a long night! Well, as with anything great there are only a few being released, most at LeBron's Miami based, UNKNWN, and a few being released via a raffle at select house of hoops retailers. Will you be trying to cop a pair, or is this still an easy pass? Let us know!

BMW Pininfarina Grand Lusso Coupe
Say that five times fast! I dare you! Well, if you're anything like me, you can't because of the river of drool running out of your mouth onto your Macbook keyboard. (thanks for applecare right?) This coupe is absolutely gorgeous. The lines, the stance, the monstrous V-12 engine and the antique wood trimmed interior, all come together into a marvel of german engineering. Supposedly this kauri wood is 48 THOUSAND years old. Im sure trees all over the world grew up striving to be on the dashboard of a BMW one day, these had to wait longer than, well you get the point! Supposedly this is car is one of one, which sucks because we now have to fight for the keys at the LL office! Is this now on your must have car list? Let us know and check out more pics here!

French Mural
Over the weekend, London based artist, David Walker created this dope piece, strictly of spray paint. It has to take mounds of patience to create a work such as this. I'd end up with more of a criem scene, than a work of art (hence by blogging skills!) Anyway be sure to check the link and check out more angles of this piece, set to be in France for the Galerie Mathgoth, set to open up over the weekend.

A Shoe About Nothing
No, Wale didn't create a new shoe! This shoe is actually a hella dope collaboration brought to us by Sneakersnstuff & Reebok. For this project they used a the Question Mid, a silhouette we've seen getting a lot of the spotlight lately. I have to say, I'm very interested in these, if anyone is feeling generous the LL staff will take two size 10s. Anyone? Well, while we are left to find out own kicks, you guys be sure to check out more pics after the jump. They are set to release tomorrow, you might be able to grab your pair over at SNS.
Thanks to Sneakhype for the heads up!
Nike Foamposite Pro Forest-Black
Today we bring to you, Nike's newest piece on the Foamposite canvas. This shoes is draped in a camo design, and finished with a TAN sole and black accents. I've always been a fan of the icy soles, but admittedly its cool to see a brand take part in something customizers would have ended up doing eventually. Unfortunately, the designers of at Nike make you pay for their creativity. These new kicks are priced at $250. Slated to drop in a few weeks on June 8th, will this be a cop or pass for you? Be sure to let us know.
Hint: Do not pair with camo, cargos. Instead try a LL t-shirt.

Music Monday
For this week's installment of Music Monday, we bring you a tape we've been blasting for the past week or so. Although a late discovery (maybe a month or so), you cannot deny quality music. We are featuring Chance The Rapper, young artist from hometown Chicago, Illinois. If you know like I know, Chicago has a long list of talent it has blessed us with, ranging from rappers Common to Twista, from GLC to Kid Sister, and last but certainly not least, world famous artist Kanye West. Chance's tape, entitled Acid Rap, reminds us of Kid Cudi's earlier style, moreso the Demo Tape or The Kid From Cleveland. His wordplay and and adlibs grabbed or attention the most, not to mention the top-notch production quality. We are already looking forward to the next project from this artist. Check out the tape via the link. Let us know your favorite tracks.

How to Spend 1.1 Billion
1.1 Billion, yes you read that correctly. No, its not a lottery winning (lucky @*^$& in FL), this is the lump sum, newly wealthy Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp is receiving as internet giant Yahoo! acquired Tumblr earlier this week. Which begs the question, what would you do with 1.1 Billion? I know what I'd do, most of which is not suitable for work. hahaha. Well the great folks over a Complex.com gave us their take.

Microsoft's Newest Xbox Revealed
Today we get a look at Microsoft's lastest installment of the Xbox gaming console, "where all your entertainment comes alive" according to Microsoft big wig Don Mattrick. Even though, we here at LL have always been loyal fans of Sony, we are kinda bummed its the "One," instead of the 720 like initial rumors suggest. Someone in Microsoft's marketing office dropped the ball, everything sounds cooler with big numbers behind it. I.e. Honda S2000, New Balance 995 etc. Regardless, of how many superscripts or additional numbers the new Xbox has, it is exciting to see a new installment to an all but dead gaming world. No release info yet, but we do know it will feature 8 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and Kinnect connectivity right out of the box. Are you anticipating this newest gaming console? Let us know after the jump.

May 25th. A Rebirth?
For several weeks, the sneaker world has been on edge about a pending "restock" of all the retros the Nike and Jordan brands have released this year. As the date nears, detailed lists have become increasingly more available like the one I found, courtesy of the good folks over at n-sb.org. As my mother always told me growing up, there are always two sides to a story. Side one goes like this; As an average consumer ( I use average instead of addict), we are relieved as a few of us depending on timing and the swiftness of our index finger on the MacBook trackpad, can finally obtain a few of the kicks we missed, without paying rape resell prices. Again, this is subjective to Nike.com and other retailers' circumstances. Side two: The dark, depressing world of resllers united. Just a few weeks ago they could easily charge $250 for a VNDS pair of Thunder 4s, now that they are re-releasing at retail, what happens to the market value for the guy who still has three 10.5s and two size 11s sitting in his living room? Or, will this create a bigger fury for resales as again quantities for the restock will be limited. Will you be in the restock lines? Or were you lucky enough to get your pair the first time around? Feel free to comment and let us know.

Music Monday
A few weeks ago, world renown artist Kanye West set the internet ablaze with just a statement, or a date to more exact, on his twitter page which simply read "June 18th." Almost immediately rumors and speculations arose as the to the meaning of this date. As the days pressed on we as an audience were pleased to find out this is actually the date of his newest EP entitled "Yeezus." "Girlfriend" Kim K posted a photo to media site Instagram. This photo, served as a teaser photo of the album and an eyebrow raising look at an all red Nike Yeezy II, which Yeezy himself was later seen rocking of SNL. Unfortunately, there is no infromation fo a release date for the shoe, but we remain optimistic. In the meanwhile, we bring to your ears, Kanye's newest single "New Slaves," which Kanye premiered on 66 buildings around the globe. Talk about marketing.
