We revisited some the old video recordings to bring some new footage from past times. Needed to cut up videos to make them more current and appealing.
Tasha Hype, one of my favorite models as you can see has a much better edit above. The first video was kinda corny so I had the team do a re-blend. A sneakers & heels kinda girl, she is really into the kicks, no fronts needed.
What is Tasha ethnicity wise? Girly girl is mixed to answer the question of many. If not mistaken, she’s like a mix of Jamaican, Native, and like Rican descent? Don’t quote me there… i can’t remember 100%. To sum it up, black latina
Peaches, sexy , sexy! She’s got to be one the most popular models in New York sneaker culture had one of the most watched videos on-line by us but we took it down b/c the site that was supposed to pay us did not. So luckily, YouTube was willing to publish oour joint in an affiliation.
What is Peaches ethnicity? She’s Guatemalan! real talk, is t his your first time seeing a real Guatemalan? Good first experience right? Wisdom! lol

A couple years ago, who knew selling Hip-Hop clothing Street wear on-line could be a million dollar venture? You can ask Greg Selkoe, founder of Karmaloop Boston, Karmaloop.com, and Karmaloop TV, that exact question and he would probably answer the same as you; nobody. Today however, he would answer that different. The 33-year old fashion pioneer can tell you $40 million in one year is possible. Virally spreading across the Urban street wear market, Karmaloop street wear enterprises are expected to rake in $40 million USD by the end of 2008.
Starting Karmaloop.com in 1999, Selkoe was originally running his project from a run-down piano factory where he stored goods and had a group of approximately 20 people working with him. The real push for the street wear project did not come until Selkoe connected with real estate broker and business partner, Frank Celeste.

Here’s some nifty concept sunglasses from Nike which curve your field of vision, so you can actually (sort-of) see behind you! Normal field of view is 180°, but this extends that 25° on each side, giving you an effective 230° vision range. Useful for seeing that taxi that’s about to knock you over. Nike say:
“To get technical, high power, diverging Fresnel zones aligned vertically distort into view an extra 25º of view on either side. In doing this, vision is radically distorted in the periphery, but as the eye detects only motion in that area, little clarity is lost in the process.”
These beauties remain just a concept product. Sorry, but you won’t be getting your hands on them just yet, but in the future, who knows?

from groups about expression and rebellion, the Nike SB Dunk sneaker conquered with a viral spread. Over Six years later, closing in on 2009, the Nike SB Dunk is officially the trendiest shoe in Sneaker Culture as well as Hip-Hop culture.

turn heads so i love them. Even chicks ask about my kicks, and that’s a great thing” says Rodrick Rainey, a media power of the Urban and Hip-Hop fashion industries.
Ranging in price from $60 for a nice pair of on-sale Nike SB Dunk Mids on sites like Moda3.com to $1500 for the Nike SB Dunk What The Dunk!?
