Dope Watches Debut at the Basel Watch Fair
30 Mar 2010, written by ZootPatrol.com 1 CommentsOnce a year the watch makers of the world get together in Basel, Switzerland to show off what they are dropping in the new year. Here are a handful of what was displayed. I’m not a big watch wearer myself, but I would definitely cop one of these if I could I afford it.

I want that! Hermes and Wally Eco Luxury Yacht.
16 Dec 2009, written by ZootPatrol.com 0 CommentsFrench fashion giant Hermes has recently teamed with a Monaco yacht builder Wally to create probably the most badass yacht the world has ever seen. The eco friendly yacht is full of windows to allow natural light along with solar panels that cover the roof and sides to generate energy that is projected to save 200 tons of diesel fuel a year. This boat is more like your own movable island rather than a yacht. The price tag is 90 million if you feel like picking one up.




Red Man and Method Man Adidas Super Star II
08 Dec 2009, written by Riz 0 CommentsRed and Meth have been partners in crime for a while now, so it would only make sense that when one makes a shoe, the other is sure to follow. First Red Man created his Adidas shoe, and next Method Man followed with his own version of the popular brand. Reds sneakers feature a hearty red suede upper with the adidas signature three stripes in black. The toe is white and little specs of red are included on the white outsole that take you back to Redmans debut LP “Whut? Thee” Album. The tongue tag sports an image of Redman with his name printed below him in silver and the heel tab features the adidas logo as well as “Funk Doc” in silver.

Brand Whores.
06 Aug 2009, written by Riz 2 CommentsI don’t do too much ranting and raving, and I certainly don’t really have any pet peeves. I truly believe that every single person is entitled to make their own decisions, and be themselves. No one should be scared to dress a certain way, listen to any style of music, or express their opinions. But recently, a trend has been on the rise, and it makes my skin crawl. Generation Y is taking this concept or thought of “being yourself” to the next level and they have spawned a new trend, where cool young things that we all loved as kids are finding their way to the front of the fashion line. From McDonalds to KFC to Lego’s, Brand Whores are taking logos, products, and memories from our childhood and trying to make them the next huge fashion crazy. It really hurts to see some of my favorite toys, cartoons, or products I loved as a kid, as the center piece in some emo hipsters wardrobe. I’m pretty sure that the brands don’t mind though. Any opportunity to have their logos splashed about – irony, or no irony – is a chance to market.
