Earlier today, we showed you the video of Kobe Bryant’s jump over a moving Aston Martin. With all the talk surrounding Nike’s uber impressive Hyperdunk sneaker, it is difficult not to believe in its technology. Many wondered whether it was authentic or not. After all, Los Angeles is within very close proximity to Hollywood. Kobe breaks down the truth before a recent Laker game.

The idea of Brigada eyewear was first conceived in early 2006 by Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Terry Kennedy and Erik Ellington. Since there were no skater owned and operated sunglass brands the four got together. They came up with the name Brigada, sketched up a logo and gathered up all the ideas for shades they would like to see made. Before they knew it they had something real and people were starting to take notice. Fast forward to 2008 and Brigada eyewear is set to launch their debut collection. Consisting of nine different styles, including pro models for each of the four skaters. The glasses all feature spring fit hinges, 100% UV protection, and a hand-polished finish. Available Summer 2008 at select skate shops worldwide.
Generally described as having bright colors and loud graphics, streetwear’s style is actually very fitting for kids, and Fuct is one of the first to jump on that market.

“Things turn gray” is the slogan for the following Freshjive t-shirts for Spring ‘08. While other brands are putting out brightly colored one-tones, Fresh Jive is putting out slightly more pessimistic and low-key images and colors. The “Lords of Los Angeles” Tees seem to refer to a “Warriors” type theme and the old style gangs concept we saw during winter. If you look carefully there is also a “Raiders-esque” logo on the sleeve, the favoured logo of LA OG’s. Themes overall are of rebellion and deliquency; vintage bike racing, punk collages and axe diplomacy. See more after the jump.
