The Trapdoor Toaster has taken the pop out of toasting bread (if you use one of those toasters). Instead of popping the bread, bagel, roll, etc... up, it ejects them through the bottom onto a tray. If you actually enjoyed sitting there waiting for your food to pop up, this could be disappointing to you.

No More Pop At Breakfast
To My Designers
If you're a designer, you're definitely familiar with Pantone colors and charts for getting your printer to use the exact color you want. If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for Air Max 1s and Air Maxes in general. Nike has combined the two to create the Pantone Pack, now available at Kix-Files. The Air Max 1's are legit.

Puma SB
Everyone is familiar with Nike SB and Nike in general but people sleep on other sneaker brands. In an attempt to diversity some of the Nike whores (myself included) I post these, the Puma First Round Skate. Obviously Puma has included thicker tongue and collar lining to optimize the sneaker for skating. And the suede is sexy

Alife again
After Alife's sell out collab with Nas to celebrate Untitled, Alife this time teams up with Q-Tip to create another simple, yet clean tee. According to HighSnobiety this will only be sold at the Rock the Bells concert (which I don't have tickets to). The same procedure was supposed to be followed for the Diamond Raekwon tee that came out July 4th weekend but that didn't happened. Lucky Rock the Bells attenders get these.

Nasty Nas part 3
If you didn't know Nas signed with Fila, you need to get out of that rock you are under. Anyway, Nas signed with Fila because I guess they identified the hype that would be around him. His deal has resulted in these sneakers. Not the old school Filas I was looking for but whatever. I am waiting for the clothing to come out if they decide to do any with him. Has Nas sold himself to the corporate machine?

Nike Ducks Shots?
Who would have though, Nike the big bad sneaker powerhouse, would duck out of a situation like this? Of course this is all over blogs today but Nike has recalled their Air Stab shoe in the UK in response to a wave of over 5000 stabbings in the UK from shoplifting to cold blood. A real soft move by Nike if you ask me. Especially because the shoe stands for Air Stab[ility] not Air Stab [ikillyou]

Kanye's obsessed with himself
Here are the Nike Air Yeezys. Most people have never heard of them and most people still don't know when they drop. Just the name show's either Kanye is still obsessed with himself or that Nike happens to like nuts (possible typo). I present to you people who don't know, the Nike Air Yeezy. Possible November release? Will they ever be released? Who knows.

The Unfair Advantage
Oscar Pistorius is a sprinter who tried out for the South African Olympic team. Sounds legit right? Check it. He has no legs. Instead, he has two metal things that are supposed to replace his legs. People with prostetic and bionic legs is cool and all but I think that he definitely has the unfair advantage sprinting in these. He doesn't get the pain in his fake legs which definitley affects any sprinter mentally and physically. How did he even get to try out?

I Huf, and Puff
Huf, a solid brand out of SF Cali, is coming out with these hats. The tees are nothing special but I absolutely love Huf hats. They came out with an all 3M reflective hat last year that was just amazing. These are pretty good too. I love that color blue they use. I wonder when DQM will get these.
