Standing in the Shadow

Yeah Yeah, I know how everybody be raving over the classic designs, comfort, and durability Saucony is known for. Sike! (Psyche) But nevermind that, the Shadow design(which was featured here a lil while back) is flavor on it's own, then when put together with Alife, the style is hyped up to new notches.


The Shadow 6G's (6000) are being released exclusively at the ARC, this saturday, the 28th, with an accompanying tee. Only in the 3 colorways shown, they're gonna run a buck 10 a pair, and 40 bills 4 the shirt.

Chocolate Spray

Wow. Now i know this Axe Ad, has nothing to do with nothing, but you can't front on it's candid original approach.

Homie sprays hisself down real heavy with the AXE, hops out in the street stepping like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever looking like a chocolate Jolly Green Giant, this is some unstoppable funny shit.
"AXE, you crazy for this one!"


It not really suggests or tells you to go cop this spray, but more like dares you.
On the one hand, my man, is entirely too cool, calm, and collected, to have his body parts being severd the way they are. But then, he's swag splashin, all the ladies in his path, on some don't fret, tip, it's def enough of me to go around.

The Main Course

Get a glimpse of the main course, a savory display of threads done in a manner effectively executes a full Gourmet meal. Get It?
If your one of those who know, then you probably seen Gourmet, here and there with the main emphasis on the footwear, a breath of fresh air indeed, but allow OF to pump fake, and direct your attention to their spring 08 lineup.

Incendious, yet laidback athletic wear, with a clever street runway persona, depicts an image, that I don't try, it just happens(that's copywritten by the way). Design and material, substitute for a commanding audience, instead of loud colors, (not knocking anyone) or brash statements, that other's might use to shed light on oneself. Calm subtle tones, leave the statement "it's not what you wear, but how you wear it" as the prominent impression followed by the Not For Nothing mantra.

Gourmet is def in ya face, on an OriginalFresh track, this unstoppable train is something to stay alert for in the future. Peep the SITE and blog, Du Jour, for more, and in depth info.

Bang on the Table

Yo the homie Tor Clausen is an inventive genius, never have people, been so happy to be around a whole bunch of wood{PAUSE}with big smiles on their faces since, "Jenga" (Ooowww, y'all remember that?) But with a slightly different approach, his Rumba Series Drum Tables provide you and a couple friends a live opportunity to make music from a not so typical piece of furniture.

Peep the YouTube vid below, to get a breeze of the OriginalFreshness I'm sending ya way. Customizable modules allow you to choose exactly what percussion instruments you want present, on your bangin' coffee table. The precise, intricate work displayed on these table can only be completed courtesy of hands-on assembly by the artist Tor himself. Prices range between 800, and 2900, not including shipping, and tax vary by the size chosen, is a significant price to pay to incorporate a unique piece like this in your decor. I mean who else in ya circle will be able to say, they eat or, toss magazines on a live instrumented MPC.

Creatures, all Meshed Up

We got the Crooklyn Remix sitting atop, Urban Jungle Grey below it, and Balmy Army Green, laxin' to the right of it. Creative aggresion is prominent, with ornate names present, take a close look at the design. Pigeons, rats and cats all meshed together, sprawled all over the face and band of the V Zenh, repping the Creatures of the Night(COTN) correct.

This is some real futuristic, prolific goodness, just picture everybody sporting Nooka timepieces, on some regular tip a decade, or so from now(maybe I said to much). Man, How I look forward to the future, continuous OriginalFresh. To throw one of these on ya wrist, it's gon run ya pockets of 250 bucks, hit the Nooka site to see the specific specs.

TERRORIST DO COKE

Just the title alone, instantly provokes thoughts of 9-11, to addictive behaviors, with or without the powdery white substance. Until im finished downloading the zip file from off his blog, and load the 15 track mixtape into my iTunes library, images and thoughts begin to flood my head as verbal realism is being conveyed over a variety of beats. My Wesc headphones absorb the music, as my ears receive TERRORIST DO COKE.
Raising questions and stating concerns through an expressionistic flow, emotion is easily felt and heard throughout the rhymes of Arcierri Keness.


Track numero uno was an excellent choice to introduce the mixtape with a timely audio exerpt, explaining one story, coincidentally, puts you in perspective for the story your about to hear, almost as if the two were made for each other. Professing his love, while swiftly portraying his skills, songs like HIP HOP isn't DEAD, and before I say PEACE, have meaning carrying a swag that says "this is what I'm suppose to be doing". With a flow not quite like another, at times you can hear Big L influences, backed by the power in the voices of The Poor Righteous Teachers, Arcieri Keness spits flight in the mic (as he would say), that will inevitably elevate him to the top, or at least open peoples eyes to Arcieri, and HipHop that's actually saying something. Listen Up.




This is the OriginalFresh Hip-Hop(music altogether) DISCLAIMER:

Just because OF put the homie Arcieri Keness on OriginalFresh please do not take this as an opportunity or invitation for everybody and they mother who thinks they can rap(just cause they the best person who was a way 2 make words rhyme in ya crew) to hit OFmag up with all ya wack ass demos. This guy is an exception, OriginalFresh, a lyricist who deserves to be heard. Give him his props and respect.

Skater Cool

A new cool just branched from the big skateboarding tree, in the form of some serious flamboyant eyewear. With skateboarding in common, these four madd cool fellows created something excellent, simultaneously forming a brigada of their own.

Looking half Bentley, half BBC the logo has a smooth and classic appeal, holding it's value in association with unique placement. Packaged in a hard case, and a slick-ass Brigada logo covered cloth wipe. You just mad cause, Brigada's stylin' on you.

Named after the most official of official mob bosses, organized crime affiliates, these shades are hella gangster, "how they get so tuff"?
Featuring spring-fit hinges, handmade acetate frames, the UV protection's all there, laser engravement's(that is a word by the way, I think) all rubbed down with a spiffy polished finish. The futuristic, cool, that is Brigada Eyewear is hitting select skateshops tomorrow, March 1st, in this current year of 2008. See whats good with them.

The Homies behind Brigada:
Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington, Jim Greco, and Terry Kenedy

Crooks Victory

Appearing as a smooth parody,cleverly mocking classic Gucci straps. The black green, and red, sit together so well, as if to give the original the evil eye, hinting to watch out for whats fresh.

Slight subtle, yet intricate details makes these exclusive Crooks and Castles bags hot. Weighing in 145 for the Duffle and 148 for the BackPack, click the site for more.

BackPack it, or Duffle Bag it, CnC get real victourious as usual, and leaves a question up in the air pertaining to these joints. Now you tell me if the saying still holds true, it's not what's on the inside, but whats on the outside, (I said that right, didn't I?)

Flud it

Whats good and Whats new
This pretty cool new company got a better way for you to get your wrist flooded.Throw a Flud on it, its that simple.
Creatitivty, to simplicity, to "Oh Shit", can all be used to describe, the OriginalFreshness that these cleverly designed Flud watches express. And priced pretty unbelievable as well, the amount on these badboys range from 60 to 65 bucks. Easy, right.

Peep the pics, then check the specs, cause Flud watches were made with us in mind. You know, unique individuals with a clean ass pair of sneaks in the front door of this dope scene of ours.

LipStick Diaries

Miss Laura Marie hit me up a couple days back, giving me the official, that the first ever DimePiece mixtape is here. The Lipstick Diaries is what it's appropriately called, with an all ladies lineup, you know better than to expect anything less than DimePiece's on these tracks. With a wide range of tunes, from wild ol' school, "now this is classic, to those newer, "that's my shit" songs that have you gettin' ya lite feet going everytime. Spitting verses on that girl power tip, to tracks clowning girls, take ya pic, this is pretty nice, eclectic mixtape, kudos to all the lovely ladies involved on this project.

Cool Shell?

No Cooler Attached

Given to Reason direct from Master Splinter himself, (naw, but it looks like it) this Ski Camo BackPack, is Reason's latest accessory, which is more like an outfit staple, in the same way as the shell on the back of Leonardo or one of those turtles.

The tone isn't exactly neutral, but can be blended with almost anything, even without that {blending} print. Great Touch. The camo kinda like the print off of a siberian tiger is a nice distance away from the constant, shoot em up, bang bang, staple for a fatigue camo pattern. Luckily the giant Reason logo, stretches across most the length of the top of the bag, standing out beautifully, without the use of a bold or completely different shade of color. Completely holding it's own in the design jungle that covers the bag.

Only 70 bucks, this backpack can fit all ya stuff in need of being constantly toted around, madd snugly. From your bullshit Yorkie (don't do it), to your protection tool of choice in an invisible outside weapon pocket. Waterproof PVC backing keeps ya stuff dry even with a water bottle on each side, inside their respective mesh holders.

This Bag is Flavor, Get one or Don't (I'm madd contradictive), LOL.

A Hov Lot of Magic

If you not already up on it, or not a Jay-Z fan, peep this new trailer for his new song, Blue Magic. From the new album, or soundtrack, (whatever it's being called) American Gangster, this track is produced by Pharrell in accordance with a smooth, low tempo flow from the Great Hov-ini.
Anyway, look at this joint, pretty much dope, not really much words needed. Just look at it.

Old Timer

WTF?

Compilation tape USB drive - for home taping.

Remember back in the days before digital music players and MP3s?
If you do, then you probably made compilations of all your favorite music, to share with your friends and loved ones, on good old fashioned blank cassette tapes.
If you miss making mix tapes this product will inspire you again!
Home taping never killed music!
___________________________________________________________________

But if you still confused, to put if short and sweet, this is a USB thumb drive, that is conveniently stored, in a cassette tape looking case to attain a classic mixtape image in a modern day high tech type of world. With an approximate amount of memory, that would be allotted to the usual cassette tape, don't expect no whole bunch of gigs, because that would only take away from the authenticity, of the flipside audio recording device.
Due out toward the end of October, be on the lookout for the MixTape USB from SUCK UK.

Not Fitted?

Plastic Strapping It

With all the freshness necessary to let the back hang out on this strapped fitted cap, Eriffs Pirate Hat is, pulled off correctly. As G as possible with the untouchable Pirate image sporting an affiliated bandanna, uniquely making it they're own.

Available in both black and white base colors, the snap back hats from Eriffs, are only 35 beans, and to add a cherry on top you get the ill free shipping with these hats. Enjoy.

Supreme Packing

Right now, Supreme hands down (or up) holds the title for the Most Official Street Luggage. This styling backpack, slash duffel bag, easily converts from being your bag of choice on city transport, or shopping, to toting concealed items, or traveling.

The 600 Denier Cordura, got you covered, and got your back, (the whole nine), through its size, durability, and capability, to conversion. Ya Dig. Keep ya eye on Supreme, and your bag on your things{PAUSE}.

Ni's on ya Feet

Peeking from behind the bush of exclusivity, into a saturated world compliance, theses shiny-ass, fly-ass, fresh-ass, sneaks you looking at right now, just became slightly easy for you to obtain. On the realest tip when i first saw these shits on Kanye's feet early last month, i nearly pissed my denims, i coulda swore i was getting a glance at some kicks from mars or something. But the "Ato Cow Hide Boot", is def on earth, exclusive to the OriginalFresh country of Japan. Ato Matsumoto is a genius in his own right, creating something possibly as big as the McFly's, with spotlight attracting patent leather, fat straps, and a huge tounge, that demands to hold down your denims under it.

---At 200 pounds (or 400 bills), to put these on your feet, your gonna have to pay an arm and a leg. So you should def start looking into prosthetics's (I know I am) if you think these Oki-Ni's are for you.


And you better not mistake the a on the side, as an representative of the city of Atlanta.

Get your mind right, "two times"

Kick it with Everybody

Maybe it's just me, but for some strange reason i get this inkling, that Alife is going hard like they have something to prove. Reason being that every color scheme, and style, and pattern on each pair of their new, (now available) Everybody is attacking all lame squares who insist on following routine.
__________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________
Varying from loud in your face sneaks with bright colors and patterns, to even more exclusive joints fusing top notch leather with a classic frame, and funky, more dressy laces to ace the test on originality.
_________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________
With that massive Alife stamp featured prominently on each footwear, even a pair with a similar, resemblance to a special footwear line(im talking about Visvim, ya dig), is fresh and unique, just how we like em.
___________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________
Ranging in price from a hundred twenty bucks to a buck seventy, but think about how much you pay for Jordan's just because they're Jordan's. Broaden your mind, and drobe(short for wardrobe), and throw a clean pair of these on, and do nothing else, then stay OriginalFresh.

Hare in your Vision

Peering through the lens of these shades, whatever the scheme, commands confidence, ensuring, and announcing your stat without saying a word. Intium's O'hare sunshades, are a loud in neutral colors, with a price tag to match.

The vintage vibrancy of the O'Hare is the final cherry on the top, to the massive style you already possess. At a hundred sixty five bills a pop, the price of these bad boys is as heavy on the eyes as the actual shade, the tough 6-base grilamid is well worth the guap.

I saw these first right here.

Check the Ballistics

Is it just me, or does it seem that if you pulled the straps, you could travel to some wild places never seen. Marty McFly woulda been jaw dropped, when he came to the year 2000 and 7 and threw this on his back. Even being for sale now, it just seem like we shouldn't have it for another good 5 years. The Ballistic Backpack is flyness at an all time high.


Not just amazing to look at, but also being functionally superior to the norm, or whatever you call "good". Stretching ideas, and busting closed boxes wide open, with the help of its Ballistic Nylon, and "smooth ass" leather should be the mandatory stencil for luggage in general. Fuck that stuff, with the LV's, or G's on it. The ergonomic fit, sporting rubber coated hardware, infer durability, while the removable waist strap, and mp3 player pouch, offer convenience.


Burning a good € 392.00, in ya pocket, (thats like 530 US bills) theres nothing cheap, or playful about this bag, as if the name Visvim, doesn't spell quality in your book. But unfortunately, you don't even have to debate, and figure out your expenses to get this, because there sold out. So good luck, i guess.
