‘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.’

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.
DPMHI will be designing the first edition of the Reebok Basquiat sneaker. The DPHMI x Reebok Basquiat will be limited to only 1500 pairs worldwide. It seems like Reebok is jumping on the limited edition train. Choo Choo!

Nort Berlin has updated their site with the new Vans Slip On Cherries and the Vans Plaid Chukka Boot. Both are extremely nice. The Vans Slip On Cherries are for girls only unless you have smaller feet. Anyway, what’s with all the cherries this season? First we have Louis Vuitton Cerises handbags, then the Nike x Stussy Dunk with a Cherry on the tag and now this. Coincidence or not, the cherries are popping (out) this summer! Via Slam X Hype.
These are the new PAM Bearbricks by Medicom. I don’t know how or why they are called Manana Banana but the Bearbricks look as crazy as how Manana Banana sounds. They will come in three different colors: white, brown and glow in the dark. Pictures also from La MJC.
Can’t get enough accessories for your iPod or iShuffle? Here’s the new iKub docking base for the iShuffle! The iKub is produced by Medicom, the makers of the Be@rbricks and other wonderful toys. It also resembles a lot like the Kubrick toys so bascially, you can use it both as a display and a docking station. Pictures from La MJC.
