Puma x UNDFTD 24k Collection Video


Last weekend the Puma x UNDFTD 24k Mid collection dropped, and the release brought about a long line populated with sneaker heads and Xbox live bullies. The set of sneakers consisted of five different colorways, including an all-gold limited makeup that had the Internet going nuts.

Check out this video where people who were lucky enough to score a pair (and owners of UNDFTD Eddie Cruz and James Bond) talked about how awesome the sneakers were—then hit the jump to see Lil Jon and Mario all up in Puma’s offices having fun with their gold-plated mids.

Update: The video was produced by the good folks at VIMBY. Look for the HD version of the video to drop on VIMBY.com on Monday.

Kanye West And The Streetwear Elite Eat At KFC

Consider this video just another low-point in street wear history. While Obama and his staff were prepping for the big inauguration, another prestigious cabinet of people were gathering at KFC in L.A. for some fried chicken, and homeland security style strategizing.

TMZ caught an annoyed and “chilling” Kanye West, Matt George (Ransom, Goodfoot, Pastelle store curator), Chris Julian (Fruition) and Taz Arnold (Sa-Ra) coming out of the fast-food chain after the gang supposedly gathered for West’s Complex cover shoot. SAT analogy time… The Mafia: Sparks Steakhouse as The Streetwear Mafia: KFC. We all lose.
