Theophilus London – Complex Magazine feature

Our friend Theophilus just did a nice fashion feature for Complex Magazine; some great photos and an interesting interview to boot. This is a man on the rise in the world, and we definitely see his charm. And if you haven’t seen it, make sure to also check out the interview we did a while [...]

Street Etiquette X TONE – Genesis of Style [trailer]

If you don’t read Street Etiquette, head there now and catch up; it’s necessary reading. Those guys have amazing fashion sensibility and really know their history. To start the new decade off right, they’ve teamed up with director TONE to present this film. My word won’t do it justice, instead read their description: Genesis of [...]

Chauffeur – Soles of Fire

If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out who the hell Chauffeur is, let me just tell you. Mark Ronson recruited Sam Sparro and Theophilus London to form Chauffeur and record this track as a promotion for Ronson’s new collaborative boat shoe with Gucci. I gotta say, this is one hell of a supergroup, [...]

Durkl – Fall Preview/Warehouse Opening

DC based clothing brand Durkl have always been a Vinyl Meltdown favourite. Their pairing of quality garments, bold designs, and attention to detail has always impressed me. But their new Fall season looks like it’s their best collection yet. They definitely toned some of the brightness down, and are focusing on great accents. I think [...]

ANML HSE – New Website/Logo

ANML HSE has been good friends with Vinyl Meltdown for a minute now. They’re cool people, and their clothing is dope. They’ve just launched their new website, and debuted their new logo. This was previously featured on their Bamboo Banger snapback, which is a cool piece that I’ve been known to rock from time to [...]

The Kid Daytona in FLJ Tokyo

The Kid Daytona recently got a 5 page spread in Tokyo’s FLJ magazine. It’s a great look for him. And the shoot came out really fresh. Vinyl Meltdown loves Japan, and speak a little Japanese between me and In[di]visible (who’s kicking it in Saporo right now). But I don’t know enough to translate the article [...]

Blue Lobster Alert

To be straight up, I have to say that Nike hasn’t wowed me much lately with sneakers. The RT1s, the Zoom Veloce, and a couple other shoes here and there have been good, but for the most part. Especially with the SB line, nothing has really grabbed my attention. Then again, I don’t like the [...]

USB MPC2000 & SP120

Decorative USB drives are both a convenient and fresh accessory. What better way to profess your love for hip hop than by storing all your data on a portable version of hip hop’s most famous instrument? I can’t think of one. The detailing on these is insanely accurate. And they store up to 4GB of [...]

Parra Soundsystem- The Art of Partying

via High Snobiety The artwork should already be recognizable since Parra has been on so many hot collabs this year. Check out this mix by Parra Soundsystem, which features Parra and a few others, out of Amsterdam (which is one of my favorite cities after visiting last month). Its probably one of the better mixes [...]
