Nike’s press release:
Forging a new form of sport craftsmanship, the Nike Air Yeezy II blends classic Nike court breakthroughs with the performance and aesthetic demands of bringing hype to a crowd of thousands.
A primal, tactile approach to technology runs throughout every element of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Armored animalistic forms imbue the upper. Hand skived anaconda textured leather quarter panels are embellished with a debossed Vac-Tech Nike Swoosh. The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down.
Bringing the inspiration forward from the late 1980’s basketball foundation of the original Nike Air Yeezy, the II is built on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II tennis shoe outsole and celebrates iconic Nike Cross Training silhouettes with the addition of the molded forefoot strap.
There’s absolute function at the Air Yeezy II’s core. Unnecessary padding was eliminated, and the foot-hugging tongue and plush collar are both comfortable and breathable. Fit was essential to the design with the goal to make the shoe slimmer than the original by tailoring it to Kanye West’s foot. The collar was also lowered to allow for greater movement.
An obsessive approach to materials results in a luxurious mix of leather, rugged ballistic nylon, and soft nubuck. Concealed but opulent details reference ancient civilizations, including a loop strap with hieroglyphics that spell out ‘YZY.’ Each screw on lace aglet is obelisk shaped, and the anaconda texture is echoed on the eyelets and leather lace toggle that carries the Roman numeral ‘II.’
The Nike Air Yeezy II in the Platinum and the Black edition will release June 9th at select global retailers in limited numbers.

Watch The Throne: No Church In The Wild
Um, can we stop letting Kanye direct music videos?
I have a beef to pick with Apple: I applied for a job at an Apple store like two months ago and have yet to hear from them. If anyone would be a ridiculously good Apple salesman, you’re reading his blog. I’m just saying: Apple, get at me bro.
Anyways, what we have up above is a picture of the iPhone 5’s new casing’s (thanks 9to5Mac!)
A couple of things seem to be confirmed:
- The next iPhone will be bigger (more so longer than wider it looks like)
- The headphone jack is being moved to the bottom of the phone
- Apple will no longer be using their classic 30-pin dock connector, making that Kickstarter 30-pin iPhone charger you bought and still have received even though they said April useless.
The two-toned metal and colored backing just doesn’t mesh with Apple’s design reputation, though.

The Serrano Indians used to dine on Cactus, or nopales, like these, while traversing the Big Bear Valley.
Don’t quote me on that though. I may have made it up.

A little over two years ago Conan O’Brien didn’t know if he would be hosting another late night talk show again.
Today, thanks in major part to a masterful use of social media, Conan (and Team Coco) is not only back on TV, but he’s also expanded his reach into the digital space.
By using all of the major social networks, and posting different and unique content on each, Team Coco has created an environment that has allowed fans to interact with the brand in multiple ways.
So, head over to the The Verge for a piece on Conan talking about the relationship between his audience social media.
Ya, I like the kid’s new song and the remix isn’t too bad either.
The Kobe That We Used To Know - Gotye Parody
Because sometimes all you can do to ease the pain is spoof Gotye.
There has never been any middle ground when it comes to Kobe Bryant. He’s either been responsible for winning or the reason his team lost. Nothing in between.
So, it appears he’s the reason the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Playoffs this year.
Have fellow Lakers fans stopped to think about what the team is going to do when they no longer have one Kobe Bean Bryant, though?
