Interview with (Lenny) Futura

‘Lenny Futura is probably the first graffiti artist to decorate the bike of a Tour de France yellow jersey wearer, with his iconography for Lance Armstrong’s bike. Futura is also responsible for the designs of Nike’s new Lance Armstrong 10//2 clothing line, which commemorates the date when Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. Now a highly regarded artist, Futura started drawing graffiti in New York, dabbled in rap music and famously worked with the Clash. Futura told Tim Maloney about the journey from Brooklyn to the Tour de France.’ Check out the full interview at Cycling News. Via 5D.

A Bathing Ape T-Shirt Update

A Bathing Ape T-Shirt Update

I haven’t done one of these updates in a while so I thought I’ll pay some homage to Bape. Here are some recently released tees from A Bathing Ape. I remember back in March, I was complaining when the Bape x Kaws collaboration was going to end but it’s still going stronger than ever. Anyway, in addition to the Bape x Kaws stuff, there’s also some other nice tees worthly to take a look at as well. Pictures from ace-web.

Nike Air Jordan IV Black Laser

Nike Air Jordan IV Black Laser

Here are some new pictures of the Nike Air Jordan IV Laser in a black/red colorway. In my opinion, they’re a bit hotter than the white ones but that’s just what I think. The black and red color really brings back the feeling of the original Jordan colors. Pictures from Sample Kickz.
