Representing subject matter parallel to the new ongoing feature on Freshjive titled The World’s Got Problems comes Freshjive’s t-shirt collection “The Good Ol’ Days”. Both finding a common denominator in world problems, the politically motivated themes of both the t-shirts and the blog are a interesting take on the ideologies of Freshjive founder Rick Klotz and The World’s Got Problems contributor Jason Rosencrantz.

Rockwell, Alife, and Patta all came together to design the Alife Everybody Mid “Rap”. The colorway of the shoe is very American, mainly blue with white sole and shoelaces and red accents. On the tongue, it writes out the name of all 3 brands, fitting together to form a rectangle. Overall, a very fresh shoe with a clever name and subtle details such as the different shades of blues and alternating colored shoelace holes. The shoe is set to be released on April 29th at Patta Amsterdam with the release party on the same night, and May 3rd at Alife NYC, Alife LA, and Alife Vancouver.

Huf SF relaunched their website today. The website has a very different look and feel from the last one, but retains the usual green Huf color. You can scroll through all their products from the home page with ease, and because it is all picture-based, you will find everything you’re looking for without knowing the names of the products. The online store is not yet launched, but it does have a very cool countdown clock that tells you exactly how much time is left.
You can check out the website at www.hufsf.com.
Here’s the new Jordan commercial which is now broadcasting on TV and on other media outlets like Youtube. In this commercial, Michael Jordan starts off by saying “Maybe It’s My Fault” and leads on with several “Maybes” before telling the watcher that perhaps we’re just making excuses for not being as successful as he was. Even though the commercial was just a commentary, the mood it gave off was inspiring. Another nice piece of work from the folks at Wieden + Kennedy and Jordan Brand.
