Not much can be seen from this preview besides a black upper, pink lining, and gold detailing. Stay tuned for more information on the Air Yeezy 2 and this colorway.

New Era Presents: Tattoo Age – Dan Santoro Part 1

Described in this video as a “pathological thinker,” tattoo artist Dan Santoro may not be a household name, but those in the industry laud him as a true original and supremely talented. Highlighted here by Vice in a collaboration with New Era, Dan is profiled as a bit of a free-wheeling jack-of-all-trades with a broad range of interests and a vivacious personality. The highlight of this short documentary piece, however, is without a doubt the series of tattoos featured throughout. From small to large, subtle to statement-making, Dan and his colleagues at Smith Street’s tattoos are truly examples of heightened works of the craft.

Who inspires you're idea of "coolness" ?

The Pursuit of Cool: Savioa The Tailor

For the latest generation, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Elvis Presley is largely lost on them. The seminal influences of the King extended far beyond the musical landscape, imparting a lasting impression on youth through style, grace and of course his pompadour. The Pursuit Of Cool meet with tailor Michele Savoia about the impact his grandfather had on his trade of choice, as well as his involvement in ensuring his dad looked the part at every occasion.

Piaget x Only Watch Altiplano Skeleton

The Only Watch auction is about as luxurious as a charity event can get, hosted every two years concurrently with the Monaco Yacht Show under the patronage of Prince Albert II in order to support research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A four-year collaborator, venerable Swiss watchmaker Piaget has created a one-of-a-kind Altiplano Skeleton timepiece for the auction. Outfitted with an 18-karat white gold case that has undergone a sophisticated matte black PVD treatment, sapphire crystal, pink gold screws, Manufacture Piaget caliber 838P movement and a unique “sunray guilloché” motif, the 2011 Piaget Only Watch Altiplano Skeleton is certainly a show-stopping accessory. Piaget has done an excellent job in using the Only Watch Auction as an opportunity to both support a good cause and flaunt their skills in horological innovation, boasting an attractive result that is truly unique in the world.
