Real talk…when I was a kid, I always used to strap my “boombox” (if you’re under 25, don’t ask waht that is) to the handlebars of my Mongoose BMX and ride ’round town. Run DMC, Eric B. & Rakim, Special Ed, N.W.A. and Public Enemy stayed on blast. Those were the days! So the bike riding scenes in this latest visual from Mark Ronson conjured up those memories. I definitely rode my bike all day (or played basketball, stickball, football, freeze tag, etc.) during those New York summers until I got home.

You know we love our Asian girls! Shout outs to my Philippinos, Cambodians, Koreans, Japanese and Chinese mamies. Owww!

Sneaking in under the radar during the weekend of heat releases including the “Charcoal” AJIXs and “Pearl” Foams, is the “Rice (HS)” and “Duke (University)” Kobe Vs. If you hadn’t heard, had the number one basketball player in the world opted to play college ball, it would’ve been at Duke University. Thank God he went straight to the league ’cause you know what happens to elite athletes that play for Duke – Grant Hill, Elton Brand, Luol Deng, etc., etc.? Their professional careers never seem to achieve what it should’ve. Anywho, that’s the link for that colorway. The Rice link comes from Kobe’s support of one of the most legendary NYC high school basketball programs; in addition to his alma mater Lower Merion. So, while you’re out this weekend getting the “Charcoal” IXs and “Pearl” Foams, add these Kobe Vs to your collection. Especially if you’ve been stock-piling the variety of Kobe Vs. However, only the House of Hoops will have these in stock. Further exploration of both down yonder.

One of the most anticipated packs – by sneaker enthusiasts and gamers alike – dropping this month is the Capcom x Nike SB Dunk “Street Fighter Pack”. As you may be aware, the pack features a drop-top Dunk with design elements inspired by the fierce femme fatale character from the game Chun Li. Then there’s the Hi based on the character Ryu. Now you can score either without having to drop any bread on them via this Kix-Files giveaway. For more info on how to enter in to the giveaway, jump over to their pad.

The Kobe V is the latest addition to the “Think Pink” Collection. You can see the ‘Pink fire’ throughout the side panels, toe box, heel and inner lining, while the remaining base is done up in white. The hints of metallic silver on the border of the swoosh, heel and outsole give the shoe a clean look.

The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund is a charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against women’s cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the undeserved and unifying people for a common cause.

Show your support by grabbing a pair of the Kobe V, they’re scheduled to release in Hong Kong tomorrow but will make it’s way stateside later this month. More detailed pics after the jump.
