Marc Jacobs has launched its first e-commerce site.
“The new e-commerce site is playful, unique and innovative and brings the online storefront alive through a mix of whimsical illustration, photography and video.
The look for Marc Jacob’s first e-commerce site was designed to go back to the roots of the Marc Jacobs brand, which is fun, entertaining and engaging.”
There are also pictures of actual sales people wearing Marc Jacobs clothing throughout the site, their outfits and identities change over time.
The site was created by digital commerce agency CREATETHE GROUP, which has worked with Marc Jacobs since 2004 and has helped shape the brand’s digital presence.

This version for some reason doesn’t have RZA or CYHI… a lot of people on my timeline felt the song did not need these guys, I think it is a bit mean but I think it is a great talking point. CYHI might be dope and RZA is a legend but no one thinks they added to the song. What are your thoughts?
There are so much great quotables in this song…

A couple weeks ago I was in New Hampshire and I went on a few boats to conduct a few meetings.
This was kind of fun… We had to take this motorized canoe boat to get to the other boat. ha!
Nothing beats being on the open water…
These are unreleased Sebago Boat shoes I did for the Nexus Project. I wear these the most I love them!
It was a beautiful time…

The Fall Timex Originals watch collection is looking pretty good! I’m sure you guys remember that I showed you the full collection a couple months ago and the response was pretty good. Today I received a few pieces from the collection and it made me extremely happy! One of my followers on twitter already went out shopping and got herself a nice piece, if you guys see these around I suggest you pick one up they are very affordable.

I love collecting press kits, physical look-books and things of that nature, especially when they are well made. Today I received the Holiday season Jordan Brand Press-Kit and it is very dope. It’s a dark purple velvet case with a note and a 2GB thumb drive. They send these out to key press/media and influencers to check out the new product and also to select the items they want to receive for the given season.
Now I can choose some dopeness

A couple weeks ago I was in Boston and I took a drive down to New Hampshire to visit my good ole friend Kevin. Kevin is a genius, a legend and a renaissance man. He owns some of the coolest toys and gadgets known to man, the funny thing is they are all just laying around in his silo & garage. I took as many pictures as I could but it still was not enough, I have to make another trip down to New Hampshire to document this mans life and his journey.
Back in 1971 The Hodgman Company hired my great friend Kevin as a design apprentice, they wanted him to design diving suits. In 1956, The Converse Rubber Company (Better known as Converse) purchased the original Hodgman Company and sold products under the Converse/Hodgman label until 1979.
Irving Mann who was Kevin’s boss at the time wanted Kevin to design experimental diving suit for guys to go down to look at the SS Andrea Doria luxury liner that had sunk off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The prototypes were also used for the Navy to check out Russia submarines that were blow up at the bottom of the ocean.
One day Kevin was putting together this suit and Irving told him instead of using the Hodgman Logo and the Osnaburg black friction foxing that goes around the gasket, use the converse foxing. Voila! The Converse branded diving suit was created! How amazing is that?
There are only 2 suits in existence, Kevin has 1 and the other one might be at the Universal Studio amusement park.
This is a great coolhunt!
To hear my friend Kevin speak about this amazing and super rare Converse exclusive piece, please click the audio player.
Maybe 1 day he will give it to me…
