Check out the Kurt Cobain shoes from Converse. They are apart of Converses Specia Collection, the collection consists of Chuck Taylor All Stars, Jack Purcell’s and One Stars. All inspired by Kurt Cobain. The only decent pair in the collection are the plain signature ones. They look warn and… grungy (sorry for the pun I couldn’t resist). Other shoes have drawings and lyrics written over the shoes.

After all is said and done the concept of the shoes sucks, but in my opinion its not as bastardized as bad as the Goonies pair. At least they kept true/classic Converse shoes and added a Kurt Cobain edge to them. It’s hard adding anything to a classic, the reason why we love them is b/c they are simple. When you start adding a bunch of thing to a simple shoe is becomes something else… IE snowboard binding on the Goonies shoes.

I will go on the record by saying that when I was a kid (as still today) I don’t like wearing new shoes. I hate how new Chuck Taylors look so bright, fresh and clean… I would walk around trying to scuff them up a bit. I think this signature pair could be cool… sans the signature.

Kurt Cobain Converse are now available at Journey’s footwear retail chain.

While we’ve seen the Kurt Cobain shoe disaster, and Simon posted about bastard Elvis discount shoes, and we’ve known about the back to the future shoe release for sometime now, it actually just came out.

But we haven’t seen this far a stretch in adult footwear from 80’s child movies before. Sure this sorta hack shit comes out at Payless Shoesource for infants when a film is released, I’m sure you can get your 3 year old some kick ass Dark Knight sneakers right now, but in 25 years for adults that shouldn’t be the case. I’m talking about Puma’s Goonies Shoes.

Look at this culture abortion. More pics after the jump.

I found this really cool Nintendo graphic while researching wall decals for my new “open office area”. My work just finished renovating a floor in our building and is moving the creative dept to this new area. It look like cubical land to me, but that will be in another rant coming soon.

This Nintendo inspired wall graphic comes in 2 sets: Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong. Although this is not quite what I had in mind for my work area I still think this is cool. If I had this when I was a kid my bedroom wall would definitely be the best on the block.

The decals are made by Blik and are really easy to install. I actually have the Space Invader decals on my glass window at home, they are really fun.

On the site you can also choose from a whole variety of designers with all different types of personalities and colors. This is a really easy way to bring a lot of personality and uniqueness to your living or work space with fairly minimal effort. I just wish it was easier to create a custom wall graphic.

Is it time we started a tattoo catagory?

Last nights challenge on Project Runway was to: Go out into the city and photograph the inspiration for their next design. The photos they came back with were really cool. Alot of them were abstract. Also, guest Judge: Sandra Bernhard.

As I was about to post my first blog on whateves, i’ve already been beaten to the punch. I too was posting about a wonderfully horrific tattoo that all children of mothers should have on some uncovered part of their body. I cannot resist the urge and will piggy back of the recent Patrick Swazey/centaur image orgasm with another delightful little doodle. 2girls1cup.com was another historic moment in ‘the internet at its best.’ it was talked about on radio shows and reaction videos viewed when activity lags at work (you may remember the “i’d jerk off to that” reaction.) or recording your own when you want to capture your own dad’s surprisingly revealing reaction. no more needed to be said.  why not solidify your excitement of that week when it hit the net with a permanent tat everyone will always recognize.   i am happy to see the artist remembered to capture the detailed poop squirts and splatters on the girl’s own ass while her excrement shoots gleefully from her buttocks. i’m not really sure what could actually beat these tattoo, unless perhaps a unicorn holding a .45 just above the coin slot. i’m no Mark Summers but this is one physical challenge i’d like to see some more contestants join.

Back To The Future Hoverboard

Ever since I was a little kid and saw Back To The Future I wanted one of these… even if it was a prop. Now all I need is $30k and its all mine! Have I mentioned that my neighbor down the street has a Delorean, he keeps it covered just like Doc. Brown did in his laborty in Pine Valley.

Now all I need is to find a self drying jacket and I’m the happiest boy in the world.

Now, even you can own Bill Cosby’s not-so-secret source of ultimate power and wisdom. If you think $5k is too high of a starting bid, then you probably don’t even deserve one of these sweaters.

I have posted in the past about my friend Mika. She made me a really amazing pillow of my dog, Klaus. She is a freelance designer and is a busy bee. Always working on something. When she is not creating clothes or wedding dresses she fills her time creating… well anything and everything cute.

She just finished a new bag using limited edition vintage plaid fabric. The bag is named “La La the Deer” and also features a handmade wood burning of of a deer on the bottom edge. This bag has a matching cosmetic case and like the rest of her creations, are in limited quantity.

Mika has many other items such as pillows, appliqué pin/brooches, handbags, shoulder bags and note cards. Everything is available on her etsy.com account, under her user name Cuore.

I’m so happy to see her do something she loves and it really shows in the detail of her work. Mizzo… I mean it when I say you rock!

Just got back from a weekend out of town spent in the California desert and found this in my inbox. I have a good friend that works for Obey, he sent it to me… and I’m sharing it with all of you…. awww, how sweet. Now you don’t have any excuses to dress like a kook this year.

Instead of spray paint you could do this:
