Known for his rather peculiar sense of fashion, MC Verbal from the Teriyaki Boyz continues his side project label, AMBUSH. Rather than the usual blinged out diamond encrusted joints, these new pieces take a musical yet humorous approach. Featuring a Ludwig Van Beethoven bust, the pendants and rings come in solid, metallic and even neon color finishes. Fruiton LVhas some in stock.

The works of Japanese artist Hayashi Shigeki. Using traditional Japanese ceramic art, the artist takes it to the next level. The traditional method is being applied to modern works of art.

Hayashi Shigeki, from Tajimi City, draws inspiration for his ceramic figures from images from science fiction, animated film and Japanese comic books known as manga, all of which have attracted him since he was a child. He comes from a region of Japan famous for the production of porcelain domestic ware.” Via Keiko Gallery/Crazytoyz.

The Dr. Martens Manton and Peter boots have gotten a nice upgrade this season. The Manton comes beige suede, as well as brown and black leather, with all three featuring all white soles. The Peter also comes in black and brown, with a clean white sole. Matching the white sole, all boots feature white stitching and laces.

It is incredible what big difference these little changes are making, bringing the classic Dr. Martens boots into the modern world. We like the new look and cannot wait to test them out.

The entire line-up is now available at Norse.

Now, thanks to The Clones, we get a preview of some promo shots done for the album by photographer Willy Vanderperre. Notice that Kanye’s style has changed a lot since his previous albums.

Recently releasing his retrospective book, A Bathing Ape founder, Nigo relives the past 15 years of his company’s history. We take a journey back to the time when the label was rocked by Biggie and his first tee production in 1993 to its late 90’s boom. The book holds a unique tribute to street wear, educating the reader about a history clearly better read than heard and a look into what has become of the small entity turned Japanese empire. Holding a mass influence in fashion around the globe, this Bape piece is definitely a must have for any fan or fashion enthusiast.

Apple announced yesterday their all new MacBook line-up. The entire MacBook series was updated in terms of design and also in terms of technology. The most interesting updates include the unibody enclosure, updated graphic cards and the LED display. The new MacBook comes in 13″ and 15″. In terms of looks we are very impressed, but then again, we did not expect anything else from Apple. In other goods news, the entry price of the MacBook series went down!

New Nike Sportswear Holiday 2008 styles. The Terminator Low will be coming in two colorways, with some interesting material mixes. The colors are also rather strong and unusual for the Terminator.

The Delta Force also comes in two new colorways. The more exciting one is certainly the black/white/red colorway with sprinkled mid sole.
