Jhung Yuro's back..



Upon first seeing this box, you can tell that this isn't your grandfathers Chuck Taylors! Jhung Yuro (Pronounced Young Euro), is the brainchild of Kris Wright, who wanted to create a collection of upscale, athletic-inspired shoes for men who were global connoisseurs, and what he created was a line that has been heralded in high-fashion circles and street culture alike.

After successfully launching the S. Carter campaign for Reebok, and working with the company for 8 years, Kris realized that there was a lack of luxury offerings from season to season, so naturally, he made the necessary moves to launch his own brand. Jhung Yuro was debuted in 2005, and is now carried by 50 retail accounts worldwide and specialty boutiques throughout the US and Europe. Kris views his brand as the alternative to the other luxury brands on fifth avenue, and realizes that this collection is for the prada buyer or Ltd dunk guy!

Each and every pair of JY's is crafted entirely by hand, with ridiculous attention to detail and comes in a handmade leather box with a authenticity card. Serious..Business..Exactly!

I personally am with him, and think I will be adding a pair or two to the repertoire! Specifically these bad boys here!



If you happen to be in the luxury shoe market, don't let these pass you by..











Look for these in the following UATW locations:

Sneaker Review

Now presenting...the Nike Air Foadome...



...just the reaction I expected... HERE!


Being from the DMV, born and raised...the two main shoes that many have grown to love: 1. the everloving Nike Penny Foamposite, and 2. the shoe you can pretty much rock to death with anything, the Nike Goadome Boot.

You can see the simplicity in both sneakers but have the general outlook that both can be an essential in one's outfit.

However, was one ever to think about combining the two of them? Well, guess what D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, it's been done and will be released to the public around November/December of this year.

The one-word question we have for you Nike, from the pure lover of the Foamposite and the Nike Boot...WHY?

The "Nike Air Foadome" as they have personalized it, has yet to be another hybrid that has been another disappointment Nike has given the cultured population. Nonetheless, they are predicted to sell-out like crazy being that today's youth is a sucker for the newest ideas. But to give our old-heads and mature youth shoes like these, it's just...just blasphemy! [LOL]

Two very well-designed shoes, both made for their designed sport, the foamposites for basketball, and the Goadome for the everyday rugged wearing...both torn apart from their nature. I know of plenty of others who would even be willing to pay $200 for a pair of foamposites and another $150 for a pair of Goadomes rather than paying $225 for a, sorry for my lack of better wording, WACK transformation of the two.

But you know what UATW fam, I'll let you be the judge. It seems it's a hit-or-miss with these "Foadomes." So please, let us know what you think. Just remember, not everything new is something that's needed. And I believe I can speak for the rest of us over here at #11, that these definitely weren't needed.


Sorry Nike, but it's things like this that make us lifelong Nikeheads look towards Y-3, Visvim, Vans, and even Adidas if you like.

Just In- Pentagon


#24 gets a cashmere upgrade, with the addition of a plethora of flavors to choose from.





Acually softer than cashmere scarve's are only $10, so that's a great addition to a outfit and at that price point, we will not be BEAT!

Props to the 24 staff and Chris P., for putting that together!

SO SWEET



For anyone who doesnt know me very well, one of my many nerdy hobbies is my love for mid century furniture, DIY spaces/structures, and modern architecture. And this is by far one of the coolest things I have seen in a while, it makes me want to cut off all contact with society buy a loft or warehouse somewhere any only leave it on weds to go pick up my comic book pull.



But yea I think I might start posting how tos once a week for DIY space maximizing projects, like how to build a hidden room behind a bookcase, complete with pulldown book lever.
