DREW's Note: I've always love the headwear that Supreme release and this is no exception. I think I might have to drop some cash for that Maroon hat.
Via: highsnobietyAfter the critical success of their first collaboration, Undefeated and Converse link up again for the release of the "Poorman" Weapons in a new colorway. Since the "Poorman" sneakers were inspired by the classic MA-1 military jacket, this time around the shoes will also be release with a matching MA-1 jacket and flight bag. The collection matching colorway is Grey with an orange lining. The collection will be release at UNDFTD on "Grey Friday", November 26th. For more photos, check after the jump... DREW's Note: Nice! The collaboration that brought one of the top 10 shoes of 2009 based on a survey by Complex Magazine is back. I love how they expanded the second collaboration from a release of one shoe to a release of a collection. Once again, in my opinion, another successful UNDFTD collaboration.
Via: slamxhypeBorn in Boston but based in Los Angeles, Gourmet releases a new collection of footwear for the 2010 Holiday season. The footwear still follows the Gourmet aesthetic of the mashup of street fashion and Italian footwear. Gourmet not only give most of their shoes an Italian name, they all have Italian footwear characteristics with clean and simple construction from high-qualty material. The 2010 Holiday collection will feature four new Gourmet models; the Dieci L, the Sedici L, the Quattro R, and "The 27". The collection will be available through Gourmet and other Gourmet retailers. More photos are after the jump... DREW's Note: Gourmet is definitely one of my favorite independent shoe brand. When they came on to the seen, they came ON to the scene with their Jordan inspired line of shoes. Ever since then, they've been going up and they haven't stop yet. The collection is fresh and solid but it is as expected from Gourmet. Too dope!

The sounds they are bringing in is a mix of many different genres of music from Electronica to Hip Hop to R&B to Dance. It's hard to put a specific type of genre on MOTM but it's not hard to realize that it's just good music. Via: Mansions On The Moon

It features a wool and twill construction with a green/black two-tone colorway. As Maiden Noir tries to keep the jacket as simple as possible, it also features smaller details from the hood toggles, snap button/zipper front, and an interior waist adjustment. Locations like Haven has already been selling the $390 jacket at their webstore. DREW's Note: I swear I had a very similar jacket when I was younger. Though that jacket is very solid and clean, it's still $390. Dizzam!
Via: HypebeastHong Kong based streetwear label 55DSL links up with a Hong Kong creative studio Project After Dark for a special artist capsule collection for the 2010 Fall/Winter collection. The head of Project After Dark, Prodip Leung, shares the same personality as 55DSL, who tend to design their clothing from their inspiration from UFOs, monsters, and other other-worldly creatures. The collaboration of the two is a perfect pair made in heaven. The capsule collection features a varsity jacket, chambray shirts, graphic tees, and hoodies. The collection will be exclusively sold at the 55DSL store in Hong Kong through out the season. For more photos, check after the jump... DREW's Note: The thing that I love about this collection is that the collaborators created this out of what they love and not what other people love. It's hard for brands to continue to design the way they love to because of the risk of losing profits and other intangibles. As for the collection, I'm loving the jackets in this collection.
 Since it's announcement and the recent controversies, the world waits for Michael Jackson's posthumous album Michael. Last week, michaeljackson.com gave a small taste of the album with the streaming of "Breaking news". This week, they give us more earcandy with the Akon featured track "Hold My Hand", a track that vaguely sounds similar to a old Hootie & the Blowfish track. Just like "Breaking News", "Hold My Hand" is only available for stream through michaeljackson.com. Michael is set to drop on Decemeber 14th. Via: Michael Jackson
DREW's Note: Okay...now the vocals on this track definitely sounds more like MJ. The song is definitely a Konvict production but there's nothing wrong with that except it sounds more Akon than Michael. Still...I can't wait to get my hands on the album.
