As you all should know by now, I am obsessed with movies. Whether it's an indie film, animated or a summer blockbuster, I try to see as many as possible. Below is a short film created by 40th floor productions for the 2009 National Film Challenge that i thought was good given the short length. Watch the film and leave comments.

Nike Sportswear has partnered with design heavyweights Cassette Playa of London and Parra of Amsterdam, challenging them to create their own sports team. The result is a collection that delves deep into the psyche of sport and present Rivalry as its essence. Rivalry is the energy that keeps teams striving for more. It’s the challenge of facing up to your fears. It’s battling against opposition to come out on top. Rivalry is a sportsman’s driving force, thus directs the spirit of this collection.
In this tempestuous collaboration, Cassette Playa and Parra use Nike Sportwear’s iconic designs and technical apparel and remix them. The pair draws on classic collegiate layouts; adding their own trademark directional flavour. The Nike Sportswear Rivalry Collection is a tribute to the combative spirit that makes sport everlasting.
Both Cassette Playa and Parra draw on three iconic Nike Sportswear garments for the design technology that will drive their team to pursue success in battle. The NSW Collection Stadium Jacket forms a mighty focal point with both Parra and Cassette Playa’s jackets constructed from a Melton wool body with Thermore® fill for maximum warmth. Premium leather sleeves, and an innovative Dri-FIT lining point to Nike Sportswear’s expert heritage to which Cassette Playa and Parra have stamped their trademark subversive styles. Both team versions of this jacket feature hand-made chenille patches, paired with high quality embroidery and removable graphic pins. The Chimera and Lovely Loner Stadium Jacket is available in both a men’s and women’s cut.
True to Nike Sportswear’s design ethos of making things better, the classic satin Nike Sportswear Destroyer jacket is transformed through innovation to become a fully functional and technical piece, while keeping all of its classic appearance. Complete with Thermore® fill Dri-FIT liner, that helps wick moisture away from the body this jacket keep you at optimum temperature. By adding licks of colour and witty slogans, the Destroyer Jacket with its 2-layer water repellent satin construction becomes the obvious choice for Cassette Playa and Parra’s high performing teams.
Introducing – The Cassette Playa Team – Chimeras
Set against a backdrop of 2012 apocalypse Cassette Playa’s Chimeras’ are a group to be reckoned with. Speaking of her team Cassette Playa describes them as ‘Mutant fusions of Earth creatures, the chimeras are fearless and dedicated to winning. Rivals with other surviving Earth creatures, but also their own enemy, they have a two sided brain that competes against itself, caught in an infinite internal battle.’
A wash of radioactive acid greens, fluro-oranges, fuschias and blues the Chimeras team colours are an assault on your senses. In teams of three, Chimeras are vicious little mutants that play hard.
Introducing – The Parra Team – Lovely Loners
The anti-rivalry, Parra’s collection is a style that heralds teams who never win. Celebrating participation, energy and a positive attitude; Parra’s players might get picked last for the team, but they’re proud of their efforts and consistently keep stepping up to the mark. Parra enthuses that ‘to participate is better than winning.’
The focal point of Parra’s team is a vivid, hot-coloured jacket with embroidered detail that serves as an icon for sporting underdogs who keep trying to make the grade… View More

Saturday, September 26th, friends & followers of the O.S.D (Obsessive Sneaker Disorder)live call in talk show came to RIME clothing boutique in Brooklyn to celebrate the shows 100th episode. Party goers shopped, networked and took plenty of pictures while awaiting the advance screening of OSD's Just Blame Chad sketch comedy show that will soon premiere on OSD TV.
Chad Jones, a sneaker obsessed New York City dweller, is one of the most popular cast members on the live, weekly OSD Talk Show & Podcast. “After listening to the degree of comedy in the responses that Chad put forth on the show each week, I was certain that Chad should do this, and I bugged him until he gave in,” says DeJongh “Dee” Wells, Creator & Executive Producer of the OSD Talk Show & Podcast. “The show will be a mix of sneaker culture parody mixed with Jackass, throw in some Chappelle Show, with a touch of Jimmy Kimmel Live. We’ll also have a musical guest at the end of each show” says Sean “Paper Chasr” Williams. “A lot is going to happen really fast because the show will be only 15 minutes” he added.

Thursday night, September 10th, New York City was one big party. Stores all over the city stayed open late to celebrate Fashion Night. Nike's 21 Mercer street store in Soho held an event for Fashion Night as well. Outside was an ice cream truck serving all the guests free ice cream while inside was 2 open bars and food being served. Guests networked, ate & took photos while looking around at items to buy. On site was complimentary customization of any AW77 hoody purchased. You were able to add different patches (up to 2) that ranged from various letter to patches with 1 of the 5 boroughs on it. Of course I had to get a hoody & have a Brooklyn patch sewn on. They didn't have the 2nd patch I wanted but will add that to my hoody later this week.
