Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve noticed that the Jordan fusions/hybrids/mash-ups are getting a lot better. Tomorrow, JB drops two new colorways (hit the jump for the other one) of the Jordan Sixty Plus, a sneaker that pieces together the five sneakers that Michael wore in games when he scored more than 60 points. Yup, although it looks like the Jordan V, cues from the Jordan I, II and VII are also present. Check for the sneakers to hit general release stores tomorrow morning, and also be sure to read our interview with Justin Taylor, the man responsible for designing the sneaker. $150, www.jumpman23.com
Okay, we’re gonna keep it 100 from the jump: this isn’t an official trailer. X-Men Origins: Magneto has been in development hell for the past couple years and was pretty much confirmed as a dead project last month when producer Lauren Donner said it was “at the back of the queue” of the multiple X-Men film projects in the works. That’s too bad, because this fan-made trailer has us kind of hyped at the prospect of a Magneto flick. Ian McKellen always killed the role and Magneto is a dark, generally interesting character. Hopefully the project materializes at some point, even if it’s years down the line. Until then, we leave you with this well-done montage of footage from previous X-Men movies. Enjoy.

WHY WE COSIGN: After seeing what a clothing line designed by Kanye would look like, didn’t you wonder how a retail space would look with Mr. West at the managerial helm? We envision something akin to a brick and mortar version of his blog: minimalist design, a mix of high fashion and street wear collections selectively placed around pieces of exclusive art. Coincidentally, that’s exactly what his partner Don C’s boutique, RSVP is. We guess great minds think alike.
Opened this past August with Marc Moran, RSVP was devised to be much more than a retail space, ’cause, really, who the hell needs another cool guy shop? Don and Marc wanted to create a space that carried the rarified air of an art gallery, but still gave off the “warm, welcoming feel of an intimate retail boutique.” Which means while you shop, you’ll be surrounded by art from people like Mark Newson, Stephen Sprouse, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kaws, and NoPattern. But that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of emphasis on stocking dope threads. RSVP carries one of the most unique and eclectic mix of brands out of any shop we can think of. What other shop do you know of can supply you with Chanel and Louis Vuitton, as well as Commes Des Garçons, Nike and G-Shock? With a super exclusive stocklist and an atmosphere to match, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by next time your in the Chi, even if it is just to look.
Read on for our interview with Marc Moran, pics of the store, and the address/web site…
His on the pitch star power may be waning, but David Beckham is still an icon. As famous as he is for his soccer talent, Beckham is known equally as a style leader—he’s one of those guys that can throw on whatever the hell he wants and make it look fly. Like the Wrangler cowboy-looking outfit he rocked at a recent LA Lakers game. We know denim-on-denim may not always work, but Becks pulled it off better than most. Besides giving you the formula on how to rock the Canadian tuxedo the right way, we also broke down DB’s LA Galaxy kit, just in case you MLS is your thing. Read on to see how you can rock it like Beckham…
Michael Steele has a tough job. Clearly exploited by Republicans for his assumed appeal to a diverse populace, the RNC Chairman is consistently mocked by both sides of the aisle. With a long history of GOP service, the son of a military man is now on the front lines of the GOP’s image makeover. And it’s ugly out there. His awkward attempt to co-opt “hip-hop slang”—such as referring to Obama’s stimulus plan as “bling bling“—has been embarrassing, if not offensive.
But that’s not to say he lacks any supporters. Even Mike Tyson, who was once married to Steele’s sister, considers him a long-time friend and once offered to literally fight on his behalf. And with some GOP victories in Tuesday’s election—most notably, governorships in Virginia and New Jersey—Steele was feeling himself. Now with chatter of possibly running against Obama in 2012, it’s important to get up to speed with Steele’s most recent nail-on-the-chalkboard moments…
You could never have too much of a good thing. And when it comes to fabrics, it doesn’t get better than cashmere. We love rockin’ cashmere sweaters and scarves, so why not go all-cashmere everything?

We don’t usually co-sign mittens for people past puberty, but we’ll make an exception for these pure Scottish cashmere beauties. You should too. For details pics and Buy It Now info, see below…
Know how to make your favorite things better? Combine the two of them. Earlier this week we dropped our Top 100 Sports Moments of the decade list, and thought, Hmmm, what could we possibly add to improve upon that? How about we take our Top 100 Sports Moments x Top 100 Hottest Girls of the decade to make our a list of our top female athletes from the 2000s? So here it is, our sweat-drenched list of the hotties who sweat it out on the field of play. Game on…
