Timberland Launches Anti-Fatigue Tecnology

For fall 2011, Timberland is giving its classic boot “new guts” with the introduction of anti-fatigue comfort technology. Despite this significant change on the inside, the clean-yet-rugged profile that has made this boot an icon for decades remains exactly the same. Combined with more flexible forefoot construction, the reinvented 6” Premium Waterproof Boot is the epitome of comfort, dependability and unique style.

Timberland’s exclusive anti-fatigue technology absorbs shock and returns energy to keep feet comfortable all day. Anti-fatigue is a system of molded, inverted cones in the footbed collapse that return energy in key pressure zones. The technology is patterned after the floor mats used to prevent fatigue in industrial workspaces where people spend most of their day standing or walking.
Boot specs:
  • Premium, waterproof full-grain and nubuck leathers
  • Anti-fatigue midsole and footbed for all-day comfort and support
  • Flexible forefoot construction for added comfort
  • Padded collar for comfortable fit around the ankle
  • Rubber lug outsole for traction and durability
  • Embossed Timberland tree logo on side

Nike Air Diamond Turf II “49ers” –

We really don’t have to say much, do we? The title and photo tells you everything you need to know for now. Back in May, the news broke that the Nike Air Diamond Turf II would return in 2012. Only one original colorway was confirmed in May, and most people wanted to know if Nike would retro the red 49ers colorway. Well, if you were one of those people, you no longer have to wonder because this OG colorway will hit stores Summer 2012. For the first time ever, Nike will retro the second Deion Sanders signature shoe line. And it just so happens that they’re bringing back the most sought after colorway.




Someone tell Wale his holy grail is hitting stores again next year. As for myself, I knew it was only a matter of time. I have had some good memories in my pair, especially at SF 2010. Rejoice!

50 Gadgets That Changed Just Blaze's Life

Just Blaze has an excellent memory. Moments after we took a seat in his new digs at Stadium Red Studios in Harlem, the producer behind a plethora of platinum tracks you can recite on command gets right to business and begins running off the gadgets he feels had a great impact, good or bad, on his life. Some date all the way back to when he was just a New Jersey young'in with a penchant for tinkering and reverse engineering. It's not the recollection of the list that surprises us—he had a bit of time to prepare, to be fair—it's the detailed fabric of memories he wraps around each entry. Memories like building the Pro Tools rig that led to him meeting Hov. Or deciding which keyboard to buy after seeing Rza in Rap Pages.






Technology has been ever-present in the lives of those who grew up in the era of the personal computer. It's affected the way we interact, learn, communicate, work, and play. Similar to the way you can hear a song and immediately remember the period of your life when it was blaring on the radio, if you're like us, you can take a look at an old gadget or piece of software, and recall how your life was when it was still stocked on store shelves, or being checked as regularly a Twitter an Facebook. Just Blaze is like us. Show him a phone, laptop, or piece of studio equipment he can tell you where he was, who had it, and what made the damn thing so dope. That's why we tapped him to run through the 50 Gadgets That Changed His Life.

Shocker: Americans’ Minutes Logged On Facebook Is In the Billions

According to a Nielsen estimate, all American Facebook users combined to spend 53 billion minutes on Facebook in May.




However, that number may sound a tad hyperbolic, considering that the amount of minutes logged is divided between 150 million American users. Broken down, the average time spent on Facebook for each user is about 10 minutes a day. Considering the staggering number of users, it’s unsurprising that Facebook ranks first of all US websites regarding where users spend the most time.



And I just want to emphasize very emphatically that all this time spent on the site really is worth it. My ex-girlfriend’s mother’s setup in Farmville is fucking beautiful. To see it is to see the Garden of Eden.

Kid Cudi Wins Four Nike MAG 2011 Auctions

Many of you stated that British rapper Tinie Tempah was one lucky guy for winning the first ever Nike MAG auction late last week. However, we have spotted another rapper that may be a little luckier in terms of going back to the future. G.O.O.D. Music artist Kid Cudi shockingly won four Nike MAG 2011 auctions himself. That’s right, four pair of Nike MAGs belong to the Wizard. He made this announcement to the world via Twitter yesterday: “Won 4 pairs of McFly’s off Ebay, xmas done came early willllyyyyyyy!!!”




The Nike MAG 2011′s winning bids are starting to come down just a bit, so head on over to nikemag.ebay.com if you are on the hunt for a pair or four.






Nike Air Yeezy 2 – Close Up

Complex was the first to hit you with photos of Kanye rocking a new colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 at the MTV VMAs. Today we get some more detailed photos (we apologize for the “Joe Calderone” sighting again – we all tried to forget about that) of the hypebeasts' wet dream from the same night. It is still a little difficult to lock down the exact details regarding materials but the shoe looks quite a bit chunkier than the original Yeezys and the tongue appears to be sporting an all new logo. Stay posted up with Complex for more news and detailed photos
