New LOLA T-Shirts

The LOLA crew is back at it with some new t-shirts.  There’s also a new limited edition skate deck…but since we don’t “kick, push,” we’re more interested in the shirts.  Check them out below and buy them on their website LOLANewYork.com. 

New Balance Pigeon’s To Shit On Nike!

We’ve only seen one person EVER, with the SB Dunk “Pigeon’s;” They were and still are an extremely rare “breed” of sneakers from the time they dropped, which lead to their huge popularity. Now Staple Design has teamed up with New Balance to bring you the NB Pigeon’s. The same grey/orange colorway will be used with the pigeon logo on the heel, as expected. We know this time around, we’re going to try to get our hands on a pair…but we doubt it’ll be easy! [HypeBeast]

If U C Sumthing, Txt Sumthing?

We don’t cover too many police related (if any) stories, but we found out Ray Kelly is setting up a program where people who witness crime, can record it with their phone, and send it to 911 directly. You will also be able to txt directly to 911 as well. Txting has become the preferred method of communication for all 18-30 year olds, so it is no wonder the police commissioner is stepping up and taking some actions towards reporting crime and possibly preventing it to begin with…good job Mr. Kelly – now leave our favorite nightclubs alone please!

Introducing: Mendis Coconut Brandy

Yesterday evening, we stopped by a private tasting event for the world’s first coconut brandy company, Mendis. We were invited by Chris Richardson, the CEO of Mendis to come down to chat, mingle with some new people, and of course, try his new creation. Mendis is a clear brandy that mixes well with anything vodka would mix well with (so pretty much everything). We tried it straight and with pineapple juice and it was pretty great; we can’t wait to make sangria with it! Mendis’ first bottle will go for a cool $1 million at their launch party in Miami…we sure hope this includes tax/gratuity — Any buyers?

(Check back for some pictures from the photo shoot that went down at the event as well)
