Nike x Stussy x NEIGHBORHOOD: Boneyards Project

"The Boneyards Project might be one of the most exciting collaboration this Summer. A design team consisted of 3 creative directors & designers: Fraser Cooke of Nike, Paul Mittleman of Stussy, and Shinsuke Takizawa (滝沢伸介) of NEIGHBORHOOD toiled away for the last year

and a half in creating this unique collection. Based on a secret surfing location within San Pedro, Los Angeles. The bold stroke graphics on the sneaker reflect a lifestyle of bikers, punk rock, surf, and skateboard, a lifestyle that thrived in the Boneyards. Mixed in with references

from Air Jordan 1 and images from the greater San Pedro neighborhood, the collaboration of Nike, Stussy, and NEIGHBORHOOD will be available in 3 colorways: black, red, and blue. The first silhouette to be release will be the Nike Blazer edition, with a Nike Terminator edition to follow soon.

Be on the lookout for both in the coming months."

Stussy also got some mean board shorts that rock with the Blazers pretty well. Coincidence...I think not. The shorts are goodmoney, the white ones below have the most detail.

The patterns mess with your vision don't they?

The red Stussy logos bring that subtle flare to the shorts, other detail includes velcro side pocket and soft-mesh lining.

If you're one of those match men, then rock the collabo blazers with the board shorts and it's a wrap. Otherwise mix the colors up, either way you can't really lose with a Stussy anything. Cop them here or at the shop.

This is where you come to find exclusive tunes to either blast in the wheels, chill with a shorty or friends, and of course we got smoke tunes. Oh yea, if you want one of the songs below, just email us and we'll email it to you! Enjoy

Crank This Joint:

Gucci Mane - Star Status

Here are a few terms we actively use in our blog. We want to make sure our readers understand our slang, it just makes the experience more enjoyable.

OD - This term stands for "Over Dose". It means when something is crazy wild in a good way, or too extra in a bad way. Walking down the DC streets wearing Teva sandals, socks, and shorts in the winter time is OD! In the same respect, the new Mercedes Benz C63AMG is OD!

Dope - We use this quite a bit when talking about a product or movie, it's just another word for cool

Crack - Not as controversial as it sounds, we use "crack' to describe something that is just out of this world fresh. We may say something like: That new EF post is CRACK!!

Went In - When a rapper shows extreme lyrical ability in a verse or whole track.

Rastio Lyool - A close friend to the EF family. Originally from Africa Rastio migrated from Jamaica to Brooklyn, NY. He played a large role in the "eh doesn't affect me" movement of the 90's. Rastio is like Tommy off Martin, ya digg.

Fux With It - We use this when referencing something we really like. If your in Stussy or CmonWealth and you see a crack pair of kicks you'd say: "oh these are crack, I fux with them"!

Huff - use this when you talk about something WACK...Like if you see dude rocking some Kool-aid Reeboks, you'd say "damn, his shoe game is HUFF" you can also use the term to describe when you get carried. So if you're talking to a shorty, and you ask for her number, she looks you up and down, blinks 3 times and walks away...you got HUFFED!

Teleport - This converts a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "teleports" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization)...in short it lets you read the full post

Takedownables - This is a new term DCBG created to describe dimes or beautiful women who are simply irresistible, and therefore must be taken down accordingly. Being a takedownable is the ultimate status and compliment, better than winning Ms. Universe or World's Sexiest Woman.

Hope this helps you understand the lingo.
