The British show Top Gear is pretty amazing. They take some of the coolest cares in the world (from the Audi S4 to the BMW M6) and just pound the shit outta them in ridiculous locations. For a while, I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to have a car chase in a movie involving a Phantom. Well, this video is the closest thing to that. Check it out.

And for those who don’t know the reference, CMYK (short for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black), and often referred to as process color or four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, also used to describe the printing process itself. Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer and press run, ink is typically applied in the order of the acronym.
The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking certain colors on the typically white background (that is, absorbing particular wavelengths of light). Such a model is called subtractive because inks “subtract” brightness from white.
In additive color models such as RGB, white is the “additive” combination of all primary colored lights, while black is the absence of light. In the CMYK model, it is just the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, while black results from a full combination of colored inks. To save money on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by substituting black ink for the combination of cyan, magenta and yellow.
Esaie over at Nike sent us a pair of these however, we got some samples with some white splatter on the black. I think the production version will be solid black like the pic above. More pics of the samples after the jump.

One of the most interesting and unexpected drops of the year comes from the Nike ACG (All Condition Gear) stable, with their highly technical trail-blazer, the Wildedge GTX.
There’s been a few versions of this shoe floating around in 2007 but none that have quite hit the spot until this bio-hazard arrived in yellow and black. The chief beef has been that the swoosh on previous Wildedge models looked really crummy as an emboidery, but this GTX model puts it right with the Nike logo screen-printed onto the trademark Gore-tex and XCR (Extended Comfort Range) upper. The use of the mysterious waterproof XCR material means the shoe also has serious performance credentials – it’s a light-weight barrier against any wet treatment, so you can be confident the Wildedge will hold up against any bush battering put its way.
And with 0.44 sticky rubber used in the sole, it will also grip tighter than a wounded squirrel, which makes it perfect for both the urban adventurer and those deep in the rocky wilderness. And if comfort is a factor when dropping coin, the Wildedge is also worth every penny, with a full length phylon-encased airbag insole unit. The sheer versatility of the ACG design and the awesome colourway makes this shoe THE MUST HAVE SNEAKER OF THE YEAR.
It is now confirmed that this model will go into production so watch this space and we’ll remind you all when we get the release dates.

The video is done. Looks great. It will be premiering in April on MTVu and MTV2 and then will make its way to MTV Jams and the internet. I got some behind the scenes photos of the shoot to keep you entertained.

Earlier this month, LRG brought Wale out to Cali for their summer photoshoot. This is what you’d call a good look. Got a few drunken iphone photos courtesy of Kevin (lay of the lean guy!).
Just got a box from LRG too. Sean Taylor jacket is amazingly tasteful and well dome. RIP #21
And they dug up an old Grand Hustle hoodie for Wale. Kinda tight.
And check out the Wale “Hip Hop Game freestyle” produced by 9th Wonder off Wale x LRG x 9th Wonder BACK TO THE FEATURE mixtape
Wale teamed up with Suzuki to help promote their new superbike, the Hayabusa. Unfortunately we didn’t get a free bike, but they did paint a mural in honor of Wale in DC on U Street I believe. Visit www.busabeats.com to check out what they have to offer. And you can see that the graffiti artist kinda fucked up wale’s face on the close up. He looks like a character from JUMP START
or THE PJ’S
Just got word that this will be the new Roots single and the video will be shooting on April 14 in NYC. Let the getting sick begin.
