D&G Lace Up High Top
D&G releases a nice lace up high top shoe. The shoe features a black patent leather upper and stripped outsole. The shoe also features the D&G Logo on the tongue, the upper back, and it has the D&G etched eyelets, for some real nice added detail. It's good to see brands back to some simple, smooth, classic designs and colorways after the explosion of multi-colored shoes we've been seeing. Price: $319(USD)
"Tyson" Documentary
As a child Mike Tyson was my favorite boxer. The way he commanded the ring and destroyed his opponents, knocking them out most times in well under a minute was a sight to see. He is and always will be the greatest brawler of my generation.A gripping "Tyson" Documentary received a standing ovation at it's first screening at this week's Sundance Film Festival.
Director: James Toback
Summary: Told entirely in the lisping voice of the former champ in footage culled from countless hours of interviews, the father of six recounts his rise and fall, from early days being bullied as a fat kid (”It was kill or be killed”), and being forced to defend himself in juvenile detention at age 12, to his training with legendary Cus D’Amato (”I knew all the skullduggery … most of these guys lost the fight before it even started”), to his days as world heavyweight champ (”Once I get in the ring, I’m a god”), and ultimately, his grisly public fall from grace (”I lost the desire to be a champion”) including a prison term and the infamous ear biting incident. Along the way, it’s revealed, Tyson squandered almost $400 million and lost nearly everything he’d ever earned, physically and emotionally.
I can not wait to check this out. The film is set to be released April 24th.

Lamborghini Murcielago ATV
First, we had the Cadillac Escalade golf carts. Now, Lamborghini just raised the stakes. At the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon Lamborghini shows off a re-bodied ATV resembling their Murcielago. This ATV is sick, it features alloy wheels and low profile tires. You can own your very own mini Murcielago for around $20,000(USD). 
Waxed Leather Nike Blazer
Today Nike released it's classic Nike Blazer Mid in black waxed leather. The whole upper shoe is a black waxed leather featuring a perforated swoosh and sits on an all white sole. This is a smooth and classy design which allows you to dress them up or down, maybe even throw in some white laces for some added fresh. Definitely go pick these up today.
Kanye West + Louis Vuitton
This is the Don Sneaker by Kanye West for luxury brand Louis Vuitton. The shoe features an all red colorway in a classic silhouette. It is a simple and clean design which I am loving. The shoe also has a large flap on the heel. I'm not sure that I'm crazy about that, I would like to see them in person to see just how over sized the flap appears. The Don Sneaker is said to be released this summer so keep an eye out at your local Louis Vuitton Store.
