Their SB Blazer High trainer has taken a turn for the better in this “Low End Theory” edition, paying homage to the sophomore release of the same night by the legendary Hip Hop group A Tribe Called Quest.

Admittedly, I haven’t seen the Captain America film as yet (rather heinous crime I hear you cry), however, this rather special looking limited edition fragrance from brings together the patriotic superhero with the well established Diesel brand.

And by All Over, they mean all over the cap, not that it’s a farewell. Cap kings New Era hook up with the Transformers franchise on this pair of h-extremely dope fitted caps for those of you with an Autobot or Decepticon persuasion.

More used to making hits in the studio together, the duo of Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams join forces in a slightly different fashion. (Get it, fashion…I got jokes you know!) Hov and his Rocawear line of clothing in particular have acquired licensing rights for manufacture and distribution of Skateboard P’s Billionaire Boys Club label. In [...]

As well as football, David Beckham is a name synonymous with fashion brands. He has modelled for/collaborated with adidas, Emporio Armani, and even had his own line with fashion powerhouse Marks & Spencer (sarcasm, just incase you thought I was serious).
