OriginalFake shows off one
of their upcoming pieces from the brand’s Fall/Winter product line.
Always implementing KAWS’ signature style, this new Gore-Tex lined
Windstopper Jacket boasts a simple yet refined design with all the
technical features expected. Both the Chompers and “XX” detailing can
also be seen, modeled by brand owner KAWS himself within the pages of
GRIND.
A new education-based commercial campaign has snagged Lil Wayne to help
urge kids to “Get Schooled.” Set to debut next month, Lil Wayne is
featured in a 30-second clip where he talks about growing up and still
staying in school. “Growing up in a tough neighborhood is something I
know a little about,” Weezy said in the commercial’s intro. “It’s
not easy and you have to rise up and stand out. Right now, fewer than
one in ten lower income students can expect to earn a bachelor’s
degree. Odds like that, a better life seems harder to come by. America
needs a stronger educational system and the time is now for bold
reform. We owe the next generation a brighter future. Motivate.
Educate. Elevate. Get Schooled.” In related news, new Young Money
artist Drake also joined the Get Schooled campaign. “Yo what’s going on
man,” he said in the advertisement. “This is your boy Drake and I’m out
in the H-Town. You already know. Get informed, not infected. Use
strapped condoms and save lives. I approve this message. Yeah.”
Incorporating his own brand of outdoors elements, artist Bigfoot
works up a new project alongside industry-leading mountaineering brand
The North Face. Utilizing some of the brands classic silhouettes,
including the Venture Shell Jacket, Balaclava Hoodie, Hotshot Backpack,
and classic t-shirt, Bigfoot adds his own playful touch with a blend of
signature green and brown hues, perfectly juxtaposed against a black
backdrop. Unfortunately, like many stand-out The North Face drops, this
lineup is expected to be an Asia release only. Stay tuned for further
details.
