A new hot shoe we have in is the United Nude “Fold” style. These are some thoughtful shoes that aim to blend new age design with fashion and functionality.
“The concept of the company was and still is to meld architectural design and unusual materials with product design, creating unusual but functional shoes. United Nude is part of a creative collective, functioning as a hub of interaction between architects, fashion designers, magazine editors and photographers.”
Cleveland born Michael Williams had a nice interview with Levi’s Archivist Lynn Downey on his blog A Continuous Lean. Since we’ve had a knack for posting about the intracacies of the 501 before, this is definitely a recommended read for anyone interested in the history of denim.
Cleveland Heights crew Keyel has released their first official mixtape, entitled Volume One. Its as equally dope as it is original, and was created in conjunction with Another Enemy and fellow Coventry boutique Heart & Sole. Support local streetwear, support local music. Take a listen.
The Next staff visited the B-Side liquor lounge on Coventry for a night of talented emcees, poets, and singers. The mic is open to anyone that wants to show their unique view on life, but the host, One Truth, (pictured above) requires all performers to be thoughtful in their view.
I heard about this event through Next Richmond Manager Ant Jones who will often grace the mic with his own poetry. He explained how “Lyrical Rhythm” has been going on for 10 years and how important  One Truth and Q-Nice are to the success of the event.

Stussy Deluxe teams up with Dr. Martens (known as Doc Martens) to bring us this High Suede boot with air cushioned soles. The air cushioned sole isn’t exposed like your favorite pair of Air Max’s but it is definitely there, and you can tell when you try them on. Offered in three premium suede colors, these special collaborations are sure to go fast. Dr. Martens, made like no other shoe on earth. Find these at NEXT Coventry.
So someone over at Canvas Magazine forgot to upload the pictures from the Cudi Listening Party held not too long ago at NEXT Coventry. Click here to view the slideshow. Enjoy!
I hadn’t really been paying too much attention to this movie because I haven’t read the book in like 15 years or something, but I caught a glimpse on TV I had to inspect more. This movie looks good, real good. Dope song too. Spike Jonze was a great fit for this and I can’t wait to check it out.
