I feel like I don’t need to say a lot about these sneakers. They are the Air Jordan 7 worn by Mike in the 91-92 season. The season he won his 3rd MVP and 2nd NBA Championship. Next will be receiving a shipment of this pack in August. Be on the lookout, and for the quickest updates of sneakers hitting the sales floor follow ruleofnext on Twitter.

Probably one of the coolest MJ tributes I’ve come across. This is awesome.

Arts and Culture magazine Juxtapoz spent a day with streetwear legend and founder of Stussy, Shawn Stussy. They have a nice write-up and dope collection of photos here.

Get in store ASAP!!

I call this sneaker the Penny Spizike because it is designed using inspiration from five other Penny Hardaway sneakers. The Penny 1, 2, 3, 4 and of course the Foamposite One. This is by far one of the best Hybrid/Fusions Nike has released in my opinion. Next will be receiving a shipment of this shoe in August. Just to let you all know, this sneaker is already being resold for $50-60 over retail. So act quickly, and get them for retail when they land.

Frightened Rabbit is a rock group from Scotland that I’ve been digging for quite some time now. Their album Midnight Organ Fight is a emotional, alcohol-soaked record of folk rock that strikes a cord with me. Check out “Good Arms vs. Bad Arms” for a taste.

One of my favorite singers- not just of soul music, but of all time- is Sam Cooke. There’s something about the simplicity of soul and gospel oldies like this that is soothing and relaxing, and Mr. Cooke was unparalleled in his day.

OK, so this song I have no idea where it came from, what it was supposed to be on, or when it came out. I literally just found it on my hard drive one day and realized it was good. It’s Nas, produced by Kanye, and it just consists of a simple loop crescendo and profound story. I can’t even tell you why I think it’s so dope– it just is. Anyone know where this came from? Clue me in please.

This dropped a few days ago, but new music from Cudder always gets a spot here.

Featuring Kanye and Com Sense.

Last year In4mation and G-Shock hooked up for two collaboration watches, one in teal and the other in purple. Next has landed the third collab watch, done in a salmon color. The watch model is the GLX-5600 just like the other two. These watches won’t stay around long so act quickly.
