• Curtis Chills In The Park : Fif says he can still move 8 million units, 4 mil. nationwide and 4 mil. overseas in this interview with the always corny, Roxy and Terrence. Curtis also lets people know he has no competition on September 11th. Sorry, ‘Ye. via.

The BoardFlips Continue To Move

Ice Creams tend to have a love-hate relationship within the sneaker game and with skateboarders alike, but even with people catching feelings about the mainstream push of Skateboard P’s G.R line, the sneakers still move serious units for Reebok. With new color-ups dropping every month, as of recent Boardflips have had a consistent sell through rate, more so than any other music-branded sneaker (Sorry S. Dot and Curtis). For August, check this more-subtle-than-usual, color way of the Ice Creams that focus on neutral colors with just a splash of pink on uppers. If you like ‘em, scoop up a pair and if anyone gives you shit, let them know Pharrell wears them (he’s so cool!), and inform them that he’s now designing soda cans. Well, maybe leave out the part about the soda cans. $80, www.finishline.com.

Gundam T-Shirt Comes Encrusted

Gundam is the longest running and most popular anime series ever. It’s given birth to toy lines, manga, and now high fashion in the form of Swarovski crystal encrusted t-shirts. These extremely limited edition shirts, only two pieces available, have crystals hand stitched onto the Gundam or Zaku designs and are selling for the equivalent of $1,690. A relatively cheaper version that uses glass beads will be available in the US, Europe, and the rest of Asia for about $320. Sure it’s expensive, and probably won’t help you get laid, unless of course you rock it around these kinds of girls.

Finally, A Motorcycle For Retards

If you exfoliate your face once a week and pee sitting down, here’s the perfect mode of transport for you. It’s a sort of 3 wheeled motorcycle that looks like something a gay Robin would ride alongside a flamboyant Batman. But don’t just judge a book by its cover, let’s check out its limp-wristed options. Automatic transmission, check! Separate gas and brake pedals, check. Air conditioning? Check! So if the thought of a motorcycle is too daunting or if a moped has too much punch, by all means, tuck your penis and testicles between your legs and ride hard on this Stallion.
