#1 Style Trend of the decade:: Slim-fit Jeans



Regardless if your favorite rappers still wears baggy jeans (ahemm Jay-Z), They were out numbered by the Lupe Fiasco's, and the KanYe West's and Pharrell's of the world who unknowingly started a movement and kept it afloat. In today's society, style is very important and a whole generation of once upon a time thugs slimmed it down and prepped it up. Some people still have problems with this on going trend and go as far as calling it gay, or just expressing hatred. Others such as myself embrace change and look forward to the next decade in fashion. I just hate that some of us take it too far. If i can tell that you have 35 cents in your pocket and your a grown man, you need to loosen up a bit. But i state again- i embrace. What will we do next?

A tour to Promote Supra Skytop II

Of course everyone knows FKB as sneaker freaks. Supra jus does something for me personally. The now legendary Skytop has just decided to add a "sequel" to their brand. Im not too sure about the look of these yet but im sure they'll grow on me soon. To promote these, Supra is launching a TOUR. Beginning in Paris at colette on November 27th, and ending in Atlanta at Wish on December 7th, the tour will hit 10 exclusive stops over a two-week period. Each store will receive 36 individually numbered pairs of the Skytop II Gradient colorway pictured above, for a total of 600 pairs. What are your thoughts?

Young And Heartless Madallion

FKB's own Phresh recently made an extremely dope piece for an up and coming line we have called "Young and heartless". The line will strictly consist of T-Shirts, belts, and hats. If you take a look at it, you can see it has a huge letter "Y" on the front and takes the shape of a heart with the negative sign next to it (Meaning Heartless). Phresh is already known for his creativity with what we call the medallions and has made everything from the 1st letter of our names to the "FKB" medallion and the "BC" piece (Breakfast Club). All serv as promotional use for what we have planned. However, if you like his work you can ask him to customize a piece for you, and depending on the material needed, is how your price is determined. Catch him at twitter.com/phresh2deff

Brotherhood Performance

Once again FKB's own Mr. YoutuBe was at a recent festivity and showcased just how good his BrotherHood really is. Partially in response to the criticism they receive because people thing they can only dance to "lite Feet" music, here they are dancing to popular mixed songs we all are fond of. Some of BrotherHood's most recognizable faces were part of this including, Marky mark, Vick Live, and Flii Boogie. Enjoy!

Unrivaled Fall/Winter 2009 Collection | Hunter Jacket and Hat

Two of our favorite pieces from the Unrivaled Fall/Winter 2009 Collection have been released this week – their new take on the classic hat and the Hunter Jacket. The jacket takes its inspiration from several other classics – we see the quilted jacket, the hunter jacket and the varsity jacket in the mix. The outcome is fantastic and possibly one of the highlights of the entire season. The hats look solid as well and come in overall three colorways. Both pieces are now available from Elt. (info via HighsNobiety)

Wings + Horns x Cool Cats Varsity Jacket Available

The collaboration Wings + Horns x Cool Cats varsity jackets have been released today. The jackets that come without the patches as part of the Wings + Horns Fall/Winter 2009 Collection, have been enhanced by the French label with a large chest patch, collaboration inner tag and lining. If the regular version is a little too subtle for your taste, you might want to check out this one. It is now available in two colorways from colette.

Sneakers Of The Day:: Martin Margiela High Top “Cut-Out” Sneakers

The Martin Margiela High Top Sneakers also came out last season in a special cut-out version. Parts of the sneaker are left open, making sure you have enough ventilation going on during the warmer months of the year. Look out for these at Martin Margiela retailers now. Pricing can range anywhere from $600-800

Its not what you wear.. its HOW you wear it.

The most anticipated rapper as of late HAS to be Drake. The guy can sing (harmonize) rap, and the girls seem to like him. BUT you cant have it all. Drake simply doesnt know how to wear his clothes. I wasnt even gonna post this but me and swiss had a discussion about what everybody wore in the "Forever" vid. And Drake looked the sloppest! But after careful analyzing, look at the worth of what he wore::

1. 10 DEEP SLIM & STRAIGHT DENIM
Click here to Buy It Now at Karmaloop, $104

2. SHADES OF GREIGE MOTO JACKET
Click here to Buy It Now at OAK, $149

3. MARTIN MARGIELA HI-TOP SNEAKER
Click here to Buy It Now at Oki-Ni, $511

If only he knew how to display this, that ensemble would have been CRAZY. Still a great rapper thought. Shoutout 2 Complex.com

More BBC Sweatshirts

BBC is proving more and more how diverse they can be. Above, you have the Billionaire Boys Club Space Beach Shawl Collar Cardigan. Sporting a classy cream color it stands out among other releases. The Billionaire Boys Club Space Beach High Neck Sweatshirt below is just as different and dope. It has a nice assortment of colors but doesnt do too much! Available now on the BBC Ice Cream blog. People think that their clothes are too expensive but understand that it is the quality that your paying for. NOT just the brand.


Yellow and Purple Nike SB Backpack

I dunno what to say about this besides this is one of the dopest backpacks Nike has produced in a while. It is jus one half of the New package for 09 that they are coming out with. This one pays homage to the team we all know for wearing purple and yellow (do i even need to mention their name?) Both bags will hit SB retailers next month

The sneaker is inspired by the Adidas Diagonal skate flick and features a red/white/blue design on the heel and a nicely contrasting gum sole.

Right now some of their sweatshirts are available at www.leaders1354.com

What happened to "This Week's Flyyest"

We currently are brainstorming ideas to make this column a wee bit more interesting. Before it just felt like a routine of pix and a little about the person. Now we are trying to make it as interesting as interviews with the chosen person, photography, and maybe video. Trust us folks we dont wanna half ass anything so we are trying to make it BIGGER for our readers. if you yourself have any suggestions, we read them all, Send to teamfkb@yahoo.com

The Jackass Tee


The kanYe bashing continues. His now infamous stint at the VMA's when he interrupted Taylor Swift's speech just got him a T-shirt courtesy of Karmaloop. loll Its actually a pretty dope tee and I dont think kanye would mind at all. To make matters worst (or better) "Jackass" is exactly what our President called him after hearing of his show stealing move. I say its worth a pick up. And his face expression is priceless.

Worst Sneakers of the day:: Nike Blazer Mid - Glow in Dark (black / clear / volt)

I needed a reason to be done with Blazers forever and I found it. WTF was Nike thinking. Halloween is around the corner so expect all the "creativity" to pour out of these sneaker companies as they do every year but this is inexcusable. I guess just because they will glow in the dark they are going to sell. Im not listing price detail or anything for this.

A Very ummm Interesting Jacket from Harris

Here we have a very interesting Harris Quilted Leather Jacket. If that is not the eye popper for you, I'm guessing the ATTACHED backpack definitely is. I personally think its maybe a little too much for a jacket to have an ATTACHED backpack. Everyone isn't into that look but if sold separately, I would appreciate this more. I don't wanna be forced to wear a book bag I want that as an option but that's just me. Tell us what you think. Available at Browns.

Some Really Really dope BBC Sweatshirts

BBC seems to be rolling out with there sweatshirts already. Here is just a couple of there sweatshirts already available on there website. I love the blue one more so because of the back of it, where you can see there signature name. However, the black hoodie just has me feened out. Check there blog for the pricing as well as other release info.

Sneaker of the Day:: Air Jordan XII White/Red

Yup droppin' in December, the red and white 12's are somewhat legendary. The shoes featuring a mostly white base with red accents and a premium leather upper, have little to no changes from the originals. That is what i like about it most because most of the retro releases have something different about them which is a major turn off. Again they dont drop until DECEMBER but Limited sizes are now available through Osneaker.

Pendleton Zip Knit Cardigan

Wow. Its that time of the year for warmth of course. Look no further than this knit cardigan already made available at fruitionlv.com Price Tag? $96

Polo Sweaters R Awesome


Polo just has a knack for knowing what works. Here is one of there new crew neck sweaters already available at select retailers. I hate when people take "whats in" and over saturate it so ease up on it guys. At the same time I understand because you cant help whats hot and whats not. Regardless if your the billionth person with the sweater on the same block, be an individual. Everyone isnt blessed with that ability so if you have it embrace it. i just went in a little. lol

Sneaker of the Day:: Supra Cruzier

The Cruzier was first brought to my attention when they made their now infamous colorway portraying the Grape Jordan 5's. Now they are back again with a colorway that resembles that of the Jordan VIII. Owning the grape pair myself, I can say they are indeed very comfortable and a great pickup. Already available at Factory 413

nonnative Mountaineer Daypack

Its the Season of cool backpacks. Here we have the Nonnative Mountaineer the pack is featured in both a military olive or navy blue option. Simply designed and still fly. Both are available through honeyee.

BBC Pays tribute to BP3

One of my favorite tracks from "The BluePrint III" now has a dope t-shirt made by the Billionaire Boys Club line. This particular shirt is the "So Ambitious" tee modeled by Pharrell and is just one of three being released (with all three paying relating to the number one album in America) Dope concept and sick tee. A release can be expected next week.
