Survive The Subway Ride From Hell With Subivor Kit
If you thought the only things to worry about while riding the subway was crazy-ass homeless people and shitty mariachi bands, Subivor reminds you that the underground railroad can be dead serious. Going off the motto “Every Second Counts” the company has put out a subway survival kit that ensures protection from catastrophic events through the use of a protective mask (adult and child sizes available), flashlight, pry bar, a silver-tone metal whistle, a towelette pouch (not confirmed yet if it’s a moist), and a compact bag with reflector tape. At only $27.99 this life-saving pack might be the ultimate steal for un-easy commuters. Check the fear-mongering promotional video after the jump.

Clash of the Kicks Final: Jordan XI Versus Air Penny I
We’re down to the final match in our inaugural Clash of the Kicks tournament as the Jordan XI faces off with the Air Penny I. We started with 32 pairs of shoes ranging from the Puma Clyde to the latest from His Airness, the Jordan XX3. Over the course of several weeks reader votes shredded the field (knocking off all of the number one seeds in the process) leaving us with this final match up. You can still sign up to vote now even if this is your first time checking out the bracket. You’ll get a shot at winning a pair of Converse Attack Hybrid shades plus there’s that whole making-your-voice-heard thing. The polls stay open until 10 a.m. Thursday morning. Stay tuned when we announce the winner that afternoon. www.complex.com/clashofthekicks

Forget A Gun, We’ll Take A Security Dog
In this age of high-tech weaponry, there’s something refreshingly analog about having a trained-to-bite-the-living-shit-out-of-you security dog for protection. Harrison K9 trains and sells German shepherds as personal security for anybody willing to shell out $50,000 to have the baddest muthafuckin’ dog on the block. Since the security dogs are also meant to be family companions, the dogs are trained predominantly by females and taught commands in German. Something kinda eerie about this whole thing, but maybe we’ve seen Cujo a few too many times. See what these dogs can do for you in the promo video after the jump.

John Cho and Kal Penn On The Cover Of Our Green Issue
Who other than the stars of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay would make a better cover duo for our first ever Green Issue?

Mila Kunis Heats Up The Next Cover Of Complex
Mila Kunis posed for the cover of our April/May book which is also our first ever Green Issue. We didn’t bother asking the lovely Mila if she recycles, but we did talk to her about her role in Judd Apatow’s new comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We also got her thoughts on invisibility, Chuck Norris, her gig acting on Family Guy and a lot more. Come back tomorrow to see the cover of our flip side. Pick up the issue when it hits stands nationwide on April 10th. Read a few nuggets from her interview and watch the video from her photo shoot and after the jump.

Get To Know Leon From Curb Your Enthusiasm
For fans that couldn’t get enough of his character from Curb Your Enthusiasm, J.B. Smoove a.k.a Leon from the show, brought his outlandish comedy to the stage this past Saturday in NYC. J.B.’s perfect performance—which was introduced by Tony Yayo’s “So Seductive”—touched on the unthinkable, like bootleg circuses, and the foaming at the mouth. Check out a quick clip from the show after the jump, where Smoove talks about declaring “pewwwn” as the fastest speed known to man.

Modern Amusement’s Ironic Tourist T-Shirt
In most cities, it’s a time honored tradition at some point, for native residents to loathe, sneer and snicker at tourists, many of whom can be spotted walking four across on the sidewalk or with the signature clumsily dangling camera. In a play on that optical stereotype, Modern Amusement designed this Portrait Vee tee. Now you too can feel the pain of being considered a tourist wherever you go. $55, www.modernamusement.com
