OSD - In a class of their own.

The team at Obsessive Sneaker Disorder just released information on their upcoming 8-week class focused on the footwear industry. Titled “The Class: Sneakers, their impact on lifestyles, culture and people in the 21^st Century”, the course aims to take attendees to a new level of understanding within the footwear industry. Classes will be held at an as yet undisclosed location in Times Square, NY.


Registration for the class is currently open and space is very limited. You can register NOW at www.OSDLive.com.


It is extremely important that those enraptured with sneaker culture understand that we don't all have to be hapless consumers. There is opportunity to participate within the business of footwear. Props to the OSD crew for continually pushing the limits and exceeding the expectations of the sneaker community.

Soope for Azad Watches

 Soope

Azad watches announced their "Legends of the Game" series late last month.  This promo song by Indiana's Soope the Roadrunner precedes the official launch of the limited edition watches.  These luxurious time pieces will be honoring Hip-Hop legend Rev. Run, NBA Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving and international DJ Alex Sensation.  The line will include other notable figures not yet named.

Soope has been on a rampage in the last year and this power move is emphatic testament to his marketability.  An insider at Azad watches says this video is not the finalized version.  Soope and his team are working on an official video, she says.  I'll update you as soon as it's available.

The watches range in price from a reasonable $800 up to the $100k range, depending on choice and number of stones and watch style. The 3 year old company has seen it's watches on the wrists of countless athletes, musicians and other celebrities. Jump over to their website to view the hotlist.  Selected styles below the video....

Santigold feat. Karen O - "Go"

 She's baaaaaaaack! I first saw Santogold, as she was called at that time, opening for Bjork at Madison Square Garden. I was in the front row. After her killer set, I screamed to her, "Where can I buy your music?" She replied, "I don't have anything to purchase yet, but you can go to my MySpace page." A few weeks later her self-titled debut album dropped to critical acclaim and more licensing deals than I've ever seen for a single album.

I've been anxiously waiting for new material from her and today I got my wish. Check out "Go" feat Karen O. It's ILL!
