ME LIKEY!!! Rayban Wayfarer Artist Series: Chris Mendoza


I don't particularly like this edition because I'm not really a fan of primitive shapes or graffiti which describes Chris Mendoza's style. But, let Kaws or Takashi Murakami design a series and I'm all over it.

LeBron James Nike Commercial


This is a dope commercial but, I can't but help to take away from it because this is all Mike! Michael Jordan was the one who chalked it up on the announcers first! I think Mike should've made a cameo or somethin'. Lol...like a head nod in the corner just to cite sources.

FRESH Minds Think Alike.


My line Y-not?, Pastelle, and Billionaire Boys Club all have launched letterman jackets in the month of November.

Thom Browne - GQ's 2008 Designer of the Year

That'll be me one day! I'm working on 2009.

The Designer
With no design training—he has an undergrad business degree and a failed acting career—Browne started in fashion by working the sales floor at Giorgio Armani before working his way up the design chain at Club Monaco, and then going solo. In 2005, just four years after opening up his first by-appointment-only bespoke store downtown, Browne was nominated for a CFDA—he won it in 2006, putting him in the same circle as past winners Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Helmut Lang. In fall 2007, he debuted capsule men’s, women’s, and accessories collections under the globally recognized Brooks Brothers banner.

808s & Heartbreak Album Art By: Kaws


From Hypebeast
This is the album cover and art is for the itunes release of 808s & Heartbreak done by Brooklyn based artist, Kaws. I love his work...I'll be doing an artist profile on him in the future.

Sneaker Nostalgia...lol Fila Ninety96 (Grant Hill's)



Man, these take me all the way back to the 6th grade! People say a person can attach memories to a certain scent or the texture of something, well I attach memories to SNEAKERS. I had these back when I was 'lil and back then if the shoe wasn't worn by a star athlete then they weren't worn by me. I also had the Grant Hill's Fila released after these. (*Sigh*)...Memories!

Hello World...It's me! The New Kid On The Blog!


I'm here to keep you up to date with the latest Y-not? news and what's relevant to my life...
Thank You and You're Welcome.

Mike Jones showin' love.



Y-not? is gonna prove 'em wrong just like Mike did! They was askin' him "Who?" and they be askin' us "Why?" "Y-NOT?"

I HATE FUSIONS!

...but, for some reason these captivate me??? It's like I'm torn between 2 perspectives...on the "Designers" perspective I love how they mix a highly detailed sneaker like the Air Jordan 20s with a basically blank canvas sneaker like the Air Force One....CrAzY! But, on the "would I wear these" perspective, I'm like HELL NAH! I just feel it takes something away from the Jordan brand. IDK...I like 'em but hate 'em enough to never be caught in 'em.

What yall think?

The Y-not? FRESHMAN Letterman



BOW IN THEIR PRESENCE!!!
