We admit, as much as we love boat shoes, cuffed button downs and chino shorts, that look isn’t for everyone. Sometimes, good denim, dope polos and some clean kicks is all you need to brave the summer sun. This past weekend Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks of The Cool Kids shut it down at the All Points West Music & Arts Festival at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, all while sporting laid back, breezy summer wares. If you feel a jersey and Jordan’s represent you better than Sperry’s and seersucker, read on below to learn how you can get their look. And maybe you can be a cool kid, too. Maybe…

When it comes to streetball, the best soundtrack has normally come from those who know the streets best. But ever since 2K Sports got Dan The Automator to score their NBA 2K7 video game, you never know what you’ll hear. Instead of going with the hardest MCs, NBA 2K9 is keeping things playful with folks like Q-Tip and The Cool Kids providing b-ball anthems that would make Kurtis Blow proud.

Last month, Complex’s Leaders Of The New Cool appeared at 2K9’s release party to announce the Spring Bounce Tour. For the past four years, 2K Sports has rallied artists from their games’ soundtracks for a nationwide tour. On November 5th, The Knux, The Cool Kids, and Q-Tip will take the stage with EPMD’s DJ Scratch. See the full schedule of dates HERE, and see photos from the recent NYC event below…

What does the future hold for hip-hop? If you ask us, there’s a ton of fresh talent on the verge of making a big impact. To help usher in the new class, we recruited five of our favorite new acts to appear in the magazine’s October 2008 fashion story “Leaders Of The New Cool.” You’ve never seen The Cool Kids, B.O.B., Charles Hamilton, The Knux and Wale quite like this before.

Click Here to see the full story. Click Here to see it come alive in a special video.

Each day this week, we will also be dropping a video interview with one of the artists. Today, we’ve got an interview with Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids, who go in-depth on their fashion favorites, including some old school Chicago and Detroit influences. Watch it below…
