(ok, ok… you can go wrong with them, but she didn’t)

The fall 1 delivery is slated to drop next week just in time for back to school so keep your eyes peeled on www.mttmnyc.com and Alife stores to cop the gear. Married to the MOB has tapped 18-year-old rapper/singer Teyana Taylor (best known as Pharrell’s protege), to be the face of their fall 2009 “Smells Like Teen Spirit” collection shot by Brooke Nipar at ACE Hotel

Teyana Taylor for Married to the MOB Fall 2009

Nice.

This news came out a long time ago. Not too long ago (August ’09) but long enough. I guess it could be a “diggin in the sneaker crates” post considering just how long ago but what the hell… I ment to post this but somehow left it on the drafting table.

Anyway, the MTTM look is pretty smooth. It street style that is specifically for the ladies. It underground enough to be different yet easy enough to get and be recognizable by those in the know to flaunt that you know too… does that make sense? That damn psychology class is starting to kick in.

There are more pics on Freshness.com but the ones posted here are my favorite, especially the all black look. The Minnie skirt can be bought here, while the t-shirt can be had over here. Don’t know where the boots came from but hell, find your own hard core boots to match (or get those Timberland high heels… nah that won’t work with this… but if you follow my twitter you would know that I want to see a women in those right now!!! Those boots would make any guys head turn to check out the lady wearing them) bu I guess you can go for these Timbos if push came to shove. Kinda tall, but you wouldn’t need to put on those thigh high socks that she is wearing.

Karmaloop has a little lookbook so when you head over to the Married To The Mob page, you will see a link at the top for the fall lookbook.

MTTM background image on shopping page is BANANAS

(???)

And no… I have NO IDEA what that background pic on the Karmaloop/MTTM page is supposed to be about (and when you scroll down it gets worst lol)… its a little crazy, BUT those kicks the gorilla is wearing is alright.


MASTER Chief Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese

masterchief - Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese(wow)

This has to be one of the coolest freaking customs I have seen in a while. Once again Daniel Reese has done it again with a pair of kicks that you can purchase as customs. This basically makes your pair special beyond belief. You can get these for 180 euros (don’t have any idea how much that is in dollars… but I am going to guess that it is over $200)

Check out Daniel Reese’s blog for more customs and so forth HERE

So Which Hyperpizer Are You? Just Call Me Velvet Hoop lol

I just be hyperizing

(this is as corn ball as it gets… but it works for me)

Glad I saw the whole video cause seeing it in pieces didn’t work for me when I saw it on TV. I can’t imagine it worked for many other people either because it really seemed like something was missing. Now knowing the whole story, I actually like the idea way more than when i first saw it months ago.

Of which makes me wonder; As the basketball season goes on I wonder if they will continue with they Hyperizer movement or will the whole idea and commercials fade away? I guess we will find out.

Want That Cookie Monster Look? Ask ΜΛΓC VΛΠĐΣΓSΘN About It

Cookie Monster New Balance 574

(the kids just love it)

Supra Muska Sky Top Skate Shoes - blue suede(cause they didn’t make a kid version of the Cookie Monsters)

So I was browsing the net looking for what looks cool and I ended up on this site and on Marc’s clothing set called Cookie Monster of Rock of which showed both kicks you see above. I think Marc did a good job at matching up look that matches the sneakers. The look includes a phone, a watch and shades

That watch is ridiculous…
