Flight Club @ 812 Broadway Opens Up








wewwww look at all those sneakers and fitteds! Visiting the Flight Club stores was one of my favourite experiences last year when I was in New York, I wish this was open then. New Yorker's take their shoes seriously, and if you don't believe me, all you need to do is pay a visit to one of these consignment stores. The Broadway location is their biggest yet, with over 1,300 pairs of rare and vintage sneakers and as many if not more fitteds. After seeing this don't be surprised if you have dreams waking up in this store all alone with unlimited funds...I know I will!

Stars - The XX - LAZRtag Remix



The XX - Stars (LAZRtag Remix) by LAZRtag

One of the things that I enjoy most about heading back to school, is the time that I gain for listening to new music; so expect to see a lot more music posts on here. In my opinion The XX put out the best complete album last year and this remix of their track "Stars" by LAZRtag is nothing less.

Lil Wayne's US Open Picks

From SI.com:

"When Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., (a/k/a Lil Wayne) isn’t cutting some of the freshest and most inventive music of today, the Grammy-award winning rap artist can be found watching, talking or blogging about sports. Even while serving an eight-month prison term on Rikers Island stemming from a 2007 weapons charge, Wayne finds time to opine on the latest news and release new music. His latest single, “Right Above It,” dropped Aug. 17 and was the top debut on this week’s charts at No. 6, marking the New Orleans native’s highest debuting single as a lead artist. We asked Wayne, who is an avid tennis fan, to share his thoughts on the upcoming U.S. Open, which begins Monday in New York. We mailed our request along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and three leafs of SI stationery … and Wayne’s thoughtful outlook for the tournament arrived in our mailbox yesterday."

More About Nothing (Mixtape) - Wale



Wale - More About Nothing (Mixtape) by Hypetrak

With so many mixtapes out there, sometimes its hard to keep up. "More About Nothing" has been out for just about a month now and I really wish I would have listened to it then. Even though its pretty hard to out due his 2008 highly praised Seinfield inspired "The Mixtape About Nothing", the sequel is a great summer listen.

Hard Knocks - Training Camp With The New York Jets





Each year HBO lets you into the NFL and showcases a teams training camp. This season follows Super Bowl favorites, the New York Jets as they grind down their 85 camp invitees to their 53 man roster. Everyone has something to prove, including sophomore quarterback, Mark Sanchez who is looking to break that jinx while vets like LaDainian Tomlinson want to show the league that they are not has-been's. For whatever reason HBO Canada does not televise this show, but I got you covered.

Old Navy Sport Graphic Tees



Sometimes you just can't find that perfect vintage tee at your favourite thrift store. I typically look for old sports team shirts but their market lifespan is not very long, so when you find one you gotta snatch it up. The people at Old Navy have set out to help us with this struggle with the release of their vintage T-shirt line. And quite surprisingly they have done it right; graphics are simple and clean while the shirts themselves are decent quality. With each new sports season comes a new run of tees so keep checking regularly.

VJ Day in Kodachrome | Hawaii August 14, 1945

VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945 from Richard Sullivan on Vimeo.


Seeing old pictures/videos of Honolulu always blows me away.

Video via Richard Sullivan
"65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version"

The KeyTool ($10) is so small is fits over a standard key, offering three sizes of screwdriver, a bottle opener, wire cutter, tweezers, finger nail cleaner, and nail file, all contained within a strong stainless steel sheath. Great for impromptu handyman work, or for carrying a host of tools onto a flight without getting harassed by the TSA.
