Back in May, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban announced a contest allowing fans to design the team’s next uniforms, which he plans to debut for the 2015-16 season. Thousands of fans submitted entries through the Mavs’ official website and crowdSPRING.com. Some were great, some not so much.
While underwhelmed with the design, I am more critical of the design process. As someone who makes their living off the sale of creative work, I am fundamentally opposed to the "crowd sourcing" of creativity. Design contests degrade the value of true creative work. Cuban and Mavs can say that they were "engaging their fans", but this is just a large company making money (jersey sales) off the free work of designers. I also happen to think they got what they paid for it...Not much!

I wrote about how I was wating for this show to come out yesterday. I also posted the pilot but waited to watch it on TV. I have to say that I love the show. I won't be one of the people that's hating it for no reason.

As you know. We have a fashion show coming up. We have been putting a ton of hours into it. I can say that I been enjoying this about as much as I enjoyed the first show we ever did. Back when it was just me. Me, and a basement full of clothes. In high school. I had big dreams. I wanted to bring out the band and have the step team and some other things. It was crazy. I even knew back then that I wanted to make people feel that we put on the best show.
I always want people to feel that they left the show and they will never see anything better. It's like seeing Outkast, Kayne and Beyonce live. You leave the show and that's all you can think about for the next couple of months. I want to give people that feel. With each show we do.

Kayne did nothing wrong when it came to the wheel chair thing. I was thinking that he yelled at the dude. Only thing he did was ask if he was in a wheel chair. He didn't yell at the man. He didn't run up on him/ The media is milking the shit out of it. I know y'all seen what they was saying before the video came out. Stop it.

The latest take on the Gel Saga is now available via Switzerland’s Titolo.

Two men, shocked at what they saw, describe an unarmed teenager with his hands up in the air as he's gunned down by a police officer. They were contractors doing construction work in Ferguson, Missouri, on the day Michael Brown was killed. And the men, who asked not to be identified after CNN contacted them, said they were about 50 feet away from Officer Darren Wilson when he opened fire.
Why is he still a free man? This has to be the seventh person saying the same thing about what happen that day and yet he still free? So you mean to tell me that seven people that don't know each other, word is not good enough to at least put him behind bars for the meantime. This is crazy. If he was a regular Joe he would be in jail. I'mma just call a spade a spade. If he didn't kill a black kid, the cops would be all over this. All this video and people that saw what happen and not even being locked up. This is bullshit at it finest.

Reebok is celebrating a quarter century of the Reebok Pump with a new set of collaborations centered on the iconic silhouette. First up is Taiwanese retailer INVINCIBLE‘s contribution — a designed inspired by tennis player who’s the youngest ever to win a Grand Slam singles title. Singling out his polo shirt worn during the French Open as a primary reference, INVINCIBLE’s take features a white leather base with lively purple and teal accents — a combination that captures the on-court style of the late ’80s and early ’90s. Yellow midsoles and accents complete the retro vibe for this throwback model. Look for the INVINCIBLE x Reebok Pump 25th Anniversary exclusively at INVINCIBLE and Reebok Certified Network accounts.

Fresh off inking a new deal with superstar forward Kevin Durant, Nike premieres the all-new KD Trey 5 II “China.” A silhouette that looks more like something from Kobe Bryant’s archives, the KD Trey 5 II takes its name from Durant’s Twitter handle and sits just below the ankle, as with previous models within his signature line. This drop in particular sports a blue camo-like upper, a gold swoosh, turquoise lining, Nike’s Zoom technology, Flywire cables, subtle red accents and a translucent blue heel. The Nike KD Trey 5 II “China” is expected to release at Packer Shoes and select stockists around the world starting September 18.

I'mma be liking it at that age.

TMZ Sports has posted a video that it says shows Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancée in the face in an Atlantic City hotel elevator in February.
The incident drew a two-game suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a penalty that was so severely criticized as too lenient that Goodell recently revamped the league's policies regarding domestic violence.
Video of Rice dragging Janay Palmer, whom he married after the incident, from the elevator has been shown repeatedly. But this is the first time that video purporting to show Rice hitting Palmer directly has been shown of the incident, which happened on Feb. 15 at Revel Atlantic City.
In the video posted by TMZ, Rice strikes Palmer, who hits him back. Rice then hits her again, and she falls to the ground. The elevator then stops, and he drags her out.
This is some of the most sicking things I have ever seen in my life. Like we live in a age where videos of crazy time happen all the time. This takes the cake. He is knocking out his wife. Knocking her out. When this first happen, you had people saying that she didn't something to deserve it. No women deserve to be beat on. NOT ONE.
So what do you people have to say now. She clearly did nothing wrong and he hit her not one time, but twice. Then his true colors are shown. After he knocks her out. He stands over the body. Not even at shocked. Like this is nothing knew to him.
Ray Rice is a piece of shit. It's noway to put it different. He is just one of the muthafucker that need to be put in place. They feel they can do whatever and it's just okay.
And don't forget, Ray Rice and the Ravens thought it was appropriate for his wife to publicly apologize for "her role" in that night.
They even went as far to fucking tweet that bullshit out. Are you kidding me?!?! This lady did nothing wrong and was forced into saying sorry for her action. GTFOH
Ray Rice should be in jail right now. Fuck the football.

Bruce Levenson email was not racist. Just shows how shitty of a business man he is in sports ( I said in sports). Sold the Thrashers (I'm still mad) and think that the reason nobody comes to Atlanta Hawks games is because of the white people being scared of the black people. He kinda calling the other white people in the south racist. In so many words. Which most people are not. The reason older white people (the crowd he wants) doesn't come to the games is because the Hawks are hard to watch. The GM doesn't know what he is doing and the brand logo is weak....They don't want to watch somebody lose. They too old for that. Take note, that's why older people just started going to Clips games. You win, they come.... I love the Hawks and even I find it hard to watch with that blah blue and average players. Don't blame it on the people at the games. They didn't pick the players and the marketing. Face the real fact Bruce, you suck at running a team.

After making its way to retail in R/R (“Rest and Recovery”) fashion earlier this summer, Nike SB‘s mid-top take on Eric Koston‘s OG Swoosh-emblazoned signature has returned for Fall 2014.

Seen here in black and white with a TPU-reinforced suede upper, padded collar, cup sole construction, and drop-in Lunarlon cushioning, the Nike SB Eric Koston Mid is now available from SB retailers like Premier for $90 USD.

For Issue 5 of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book, the young, yet revered imprint tapped Beyoncé for its latest cover story. Shot by Pierre Debusschere with guest creative direction coming from Riccardo Tisci, the double-sided cover image sees Queen B wearing an all-over floral cape from Yohji Yamamoto with a Yeezus-esque mask on one side. The rest of the spread includes styles from COMME des GARCONS, PRADA, Nike and a Chanel surfboard(t). Furthermore, in lieu of a cover story, Beyoncé wrote an introspective poem, which was then “remixed” by Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Forrest Gander.
