Harvard University – Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship Program Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:00 AM PDT For many decades, hip-hop was considered an underground culture and art form; however, Harvard University has recognized Nasir Jones, better known by his stage name Nas, by welcoming the rapper in their scholarship program. The program is titled Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship, aimed to support and recognize academic and artistic excellence in individuals with connection to hip-hop culture. Launched by the Harvard Hip-Hop Archive and W.E.B. DuBois Institue, the Queensbridge MC was more than thrilled to be part of the prestigious institution. Although, it is probably unlikely that Nas will actually lecture any classes at the university, it is not completely out of question at this stage.

Jason Markk – Quick Wipes for Sneaker Cleaning Posted: 17 Jul 2013 06:30 PM PDT We’ve all been there: you’re wearing your favorite pair of sneakers, the ones you break out for special occasions the way some guys drive their vintage cars just to keep them in running condition. You avoid crowded elevators and steer clear of puddles, but dirt and grime — and the occasional spilled drink — still find a way to leave their mark on your pristine kicks. Enter Jason Markk‘s Quick Wipes, the latest addition to the premium shoe cleaner’s product lineup. Individually packaged and safe to use on almost all materials, the disposable wipes feature a unique dual-textured substrate, with one side featuring blue-dot abrasives for tougher stains, while the softer side is good for general cleaning. Sold in quantities of twelve wipes per box, the Quick Wipes will be available starting tomorrow directly from Jason Markk. Release Date: July 18th, 2013 (Tomorrow!)

Jeremy Scott x adidas D Rose 3.5 | Available Now Posted: 17 Jul 2013 05:00 PM PDT Two of the biggest names associated with the adidas brand are also two of its most diametrically opposed, but Jeremy Scott and Derrick Rose have come together to create this special edition adidas D Rose 3.5 basketball shoe. Stripped of its signature SPRINTWEB construction, the midtop silhouette features a one-piece white leather upper adorned with blinged out floating cherubs. SPRINTFRAME construction maintains the shoe’s basketball-ready chassis, while the exterior branding of the original — including Derrick Rose’s signature logo at the tongue and adidas’ trademark three-stripes at the heel — carries over in this new design. The kicks are available now at select adidas retailers, including Caliroots’ Six Feet Down sneaker store.
