AIR JORDAN
Niketown New York now has a display that seems like something a Hall of Fame would house–a history of the Air Jordan line done in an extremely simple white and red colorway. The goal in choosing to have the sneaker in an all white upper is to allow the outlines and contours of each sneaker to speak for itself–uninterrupted by busy color schemes or tooling. Each sneaker is all white, apart from the red outsole and quilted lining. A few models have slight variations on the theme, like the laser etching on the Air Jordan XX (20) and the reconsidered upper of the Air Jordan XIII (23).

ALL THINGS HOUSE
He isn't an ensemble, he isn't even from Detroit, but Stuttgart native Danilo Plessow is currently one of the hottest names in this thing we call house. With a slew of releases and remixes on imprints such as 20:20 Vision, Compost and Mule Musiq and his Raw Cuts series finding their way into the record box of any DJ with an ear for great house, MCDE is an ideal guest for us.
His productions and DJing pull off the natty trick of getting a sagely nod from the heads, whilst simultaneously shaking hips and raising hands on the dance floor.
Back room bad bwoy, is Cunnie - a man about town, and a certified primo party animal, who's skills and knowledge are matched only by an uncanny knack to imbibe enough drink to floor a rhino yet still be the last man standing. Hip hop, disco, soul and funk is his business, and business is good.
Price is a killer £5 before the witching hour/£7 after and £5 for students all night long.
Drinks promos are in full effect at Cab too.

NIKE SAFARI RETRO
December 1st will see the re-release of the iconic Nike Air Safari ‘87 Retro. Overall the sneaker comes in the same colorway as the original, yet there are some changes to the 2009 edition. The orange is a little more reddish and they also added a contrasting neon stitching on the upper.
RIP THE EQUALIZER
The 79-year-old had been suffering from various illnesses, including pneumonia.
He died at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro this morning.
He was one of the greatest actors of his generation, without any question, with a broad career on American television as well as British film.
His agent Janet Glass told Sky News she only had "wonderful things" to say about the actor.
Originally a Shakespearean stage actor, Woodward rose to fame in the 1960s and early 1970s in the television spy series Callan.
In 1973 he played the lead role in the cult thriller The Wicker Man.
The film's director, Robin Hardy, described Woodward as "one of the greatest actors of his generation."
He added: "He was an absolute star of The Wicker Man. He was an extremely nice human being."
It was the 1980s hit US TV series The Equalizer which earned Woodward international attention and a Golden Globe award.

BOCCA JUNIORS
The first release on boys own records and a free gift when you buy the boys own complete fanzines book!!!
BOYS OWN
Got my copy last week!!!!!
Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton have collected every issue of the Boy's Own fanzine for their latest book.
The Boy's Own project began back in the summer of 1986, when Terry Farley, Andrew Weatherall, Steve Mayes and Cymon Eckles got together to write and construct a magazine combining all of their interests: football, fashion, narcotics and, of course, music. It soon picked up quite a following once the acid house boom hit the capital in 1988, appealing to the new strain of casual ravers.
As it outlines in the introduction to the very first issue, they were "aiming at the boy (or girl) who one day stands on the terraces, the next day stands in a sweaty club and the day after reads Brendan Behan while listening to Run DMC." This was just the beginning of the Boy's Own legacy, with plenty of parties and the rise and fall of both their Boy's Own and Junior Boy's Own labels set to come, but the book focuses strictly on the full set of fanzines that were released from '86 until 1992.
Original copies of Boy's Own fanzines had started to fetch tidy sums on eBay, but nevertheless, Brewster and Broughton went about sourcing the magazines from original acid house revellers who'd kept hold of past issues. The project is now complete, and comes with both a foreword from the two DJ historians, and an additional interview with the original Boy's Own crew. Not only that, but people who pre-order the book will also get a one-sided 7-inch single of Bocca Junior's "Raise," which was the first release on the Boy's Own record label.

HELLO KITTY
As part of hello kitty's 35th birthday celebrations some interesting projects were commissioned.These two stand out for me!!
Dr. Romanelli has gotten together with Sanrio for a special Hello Kitty collaboration, produced by Medicom Toy. The project between the three companies features three different styles of DRx/Hello Kitty figures in addition to a capsule clothing collection. The inspiration for the collection stems from the good doctor’s fascination with medical science.
The famously eccentric songbird has posed for a bizarre series of pics for cult brand Hello Kitty, designed to celebrate the famous white cat's 35th birthday. And she keeps her eyes closed throughout.
