The Pumas seen here are one of the dopest pairs of Pumas I have ever seen and it makes sense why. They were designed by Anwar Carrots of Peas and Carrots International fame. What we see here are two dope pairs of Puma Suede with a playful twist.
The sneakers come featuring a gum outsole, with two different colorways offered, one in black and the other in grey with accents of vibrant orange and teal are prominent on both.
The sneaker will launch exclusively in store and Peas and Carrots International on Saturday, June 21st, and will arrive at select retailers later on June 25th.
You can also check out Anwar’s interview with NiceKicks where he discusses the sneaker and his ethos:
The partnership came about through Roc Nation, where Casey Veggies is managed. Rich Kleiman called me asking for an influencer for the PUMA Social Club that we were doing. It went from making a bike to going to Brazil for a photoshoot, and eventually a shoe came about. The shoe is a year in the making….. Working on the Suede versus our own clothing line was pretty simple. We had three colors to work with, and I worked with the PUMA team on it. With the clothing line, you have to come up with concepts, the art director has to go through a bunch of designing steps and I have to choose what I like and what I don’t like. With the PUMA team, it was very simple – it was just colors and where I wanted everything to go.

“Kingdom” The Newest track from Common’s upcoming album Nobody’s Smiling is a Chi-minded anthem delivered over a masterful beat from legendary producer No I.D.

“The streets swallowing him, and I don’t want no hollows in him.”

Today marks the 20th anniversary of THE white Bronco car chase, led by OJ Simpson.
What we remember are the images of a white Ford Bronco interrupting the NBA Finals between the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks.
Being forced to watch the game in a small box in the upper right hand corner of our TV sets with the sounds of news reporters giving us the play by play of the car chase instead of the sounds of the game. These were moments that left an undeniable mark on the ’90s, and because of that we’ve created a limited edition”Don’t Squeeze The Juice” print & coffee mug.
Only 32 prints & mugs available only at www.UNDRCRWN.com
The Nike Fuel app is one of my favorite apps and now the app is available on the Android.
NIKE, Inc. today announced the availability of a Nike+ FuelBand App for Android, giving Android users the ability to seamlessly connect their Nike+ FuelBand SE and Android device. Through this app, Nike adds another access point for athletes to tap into Nike+ and NikeFuel to set goals and get motivation to surpass them.
“With 30 million users, NikeFuel is rapidly becoming the universal measure of activity. Now, with the launch of the Nike+ FuelBand App for Android we’re delighted to help even more athletes get better,” said Stefan Olander, Nike’s VP of Digital Sport. “This is another important step in the continued growth of our powerful ecosystem of digital products and services.”
The Nike+ FuelBand SE is the smart, simple and fun way to get more active by measuring everyday activity and turning it into NikeFuel.
NikeFuel is a single, universal way to measure all kinds of activities—from a morning workout to a big night out. NikeFuel is uniquely designed to track the user’s active life, measuring whole-body movement no matter the age, weight or gender.
To create the best user experience, Nike leveraged Bluetooth LE technology to enable a seamless, automatic sync between the Nike+ FuelBand SE and the consumer’s mobile device. This type of sync requires an Android handset and operating system that can support Bluetooth LE and Nike+ FuelBand SE. The Android app runs on version Jelly Bean 4.3 and above, supporting the following handsets: Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One, Nexus 5 and the Moto X.
Key features and benefits of the Nike+ FuelBand App for Android include:
NikeFuel Daily Goal – Create a goal, edit and view progress toward that goal.
Sessions – Track deliberate periods of movement, such as workouts and games, by starting and ending a Session on the Nike+ FuelBand SE. Review session data afterward for a focused analysis of movement. Users can calibrate and share sessions via Nikeplus.com.
Move Reminders and Win The Hour – Users can set up Move Reminders on their Nike+ FuelBand SE so they will remember to get moving for five minutes out of every hour. The Nike+ FuelBand App allows users to track their success with Win The Hour stats.
NikeFuel Leaderboards – Compare data with friends and the community by using Nike+ Friends and the NikeFuel community.
Activity and Session History – Analyze past activity data to see progress and patterns.
NikeFuel Daily Goal Recognition – When a goal is achieved, an onscreen celebration will appear.
Automatic Syncing – Bluetooth LE seamlessly syncs Nike+ FuelBand data to a compatible Android handset.
Profile and Settings – View and edit Nike+ account information and Nike+ FuelBand SE device settings on the app.
The English only version of the Nike+ FuelBand App for Android is available in the US, UK, Canada, Germany and Japan for free download from the Google Play Store.

ABOUT VICE SPORTS
VICE Sports is a piece of web realty dedicated to the game beyond the game, where the unbridled passion of the true fan shines through, for better or for worse. Headlined by original video content and distinct voices, VICE Sports shines a light on the endless array of characters both inside and outside of the game that tend to inspire such undeniable, and at times, unreasonable devotion. More often than not, the compelling stories and rich experiences that sit in the sports sidecar tend to eclipse the sport itself. We’re here to celebrate that.
