While most guys are content with confining their erotic viewing desires to plain ol’ PornHub, there’s a whole new generation of kids among us looking for something a little more specific. Sure, there are always sites like Suicide Girls for the tattoo/goth/punk/bizarro types, but what if you’re just searching for a chick with huge tits and a better sneaker collection than you? Look no further than Front magazine, a bubbly pornographic publication which caters to all the horny hypebeasts out there, and their latest shoot really underlines my point. Read more »
The Playboy Mansion is reportedly unkempt, reeks of dog piss, and by the latest accounts, a petri dish of infectious human disease. Now that I think about it, a Playboy collaboration with Supreme actually makes perfect sense and for a streetwear brand that isn’t even trying anymore, appropriately fitting.
If this BAPE Shark crap is still what’s in, hip, or whatever, let’s just say I couldn’t be happier with my current fashion status. It’s like these streetwear companies are competing to see who can get away with putting out the most clownish lines possible and get away with it. Although, it does make pre-judging of cool guy assholes that much easier.
Big-headed streetwear aficionados would be wise to check out Mishka’s Williamsburg store for this colossal-sized cap. The Brooklyn-based brand proudly displays an eyeball-emblazoned fitted hat for size 16 skulls. Unless your head dimensions are actually off the chart, wearing this one-off piece rivals those Star Wars hats for ridiculousness so it’s probably for the best that this World’s Largest New Era is just for show.

A New Era cap collection isn’t exactly what one would expect from Mister Mort, who more often chronicles the tweed and faux fur toppers of the elderly. Never the less, the New York-based fashion blogger has designed a series of fitted caps, including this Los Angeles Dodgers declaration and other embroidered styles that are on sale for $60 a pop at A Continuous Lean. |High Snobiety|
Streetwear Industry Toys Itself
When not coming up with new unnecessary collaborations and inspiring self mutilation, the streetwear industry finds other ways to canonize itself, like miniature monuments. Korean toymaker Coolrain created this quartet of streetwear dolls clad in Huf, Alife, Supreme, The Hundreds and Nike Dunks all around. Read more »
Star Wars New Era Hats Are Fittingly Ridiculous
Two leaders of pervasive franchising, New Era and Lucasfilm, have teamed up for a Star Wars collection of baseball hats. The intergalactic headgear features 18 different designs including some all-over prints and a bunch of dome piece disguises, mostly of the inhuman or Dark Side variety. Among the characters on caps are Darth Vader, Jabba the Hut, Yoda and Chewbacca, whose furry ear flaps will run you more than $100 (and your dignity). |High Snobiety|
Though Black Friday fortunately passed without any of the stampede deaths predicted, the shopping extravaganza still saw some self mutilation in the name of savings. Streetwear brand The Hundreds videotaped one of their customers snapping his pinky finger for a free hat. Read more »
Freshjive T-Shirt Parodies Obama, Shepard Fairey, Freshjive
Although Freshjive has taken a subtler approach to their branding, trading textual logos for a black box icon, the same unfortunately can’t be said for their clothes. For a t-shirt commentary on “how the Obama administration is maintaining continuity with its disgraced predecessor,” the streetwear company took a ham-fisted approach, clarifying their washed out, faded copy of Shepard Fairey’s “Hope” portrait with the words “is fading fast.” Designers take note: when your message is a manipulation of the most iconic image of Obama, and possibly any President ever, there’s really no need for superfluous text, which like explaining a joke, ruins it.
Finally, a shoemaker has released sneakers so hideous they had to be photographed in the dark. Months after their pigeon-abuse fiasco, New Balance continues ruining their products with contaminated colorways. Read more »
