For those of you heading out to Las Vegas for tradeshows, or already live there, you have to check out The Magic Party presented by Famous Stars & Straps and the UFC.

I was recently introduced to Kickstarter while at the genius bar. I was immediately drawn to the TikTok and LunaTik multi-touch watch kits for the iPod Nano 6th generation. I made a pledge and became an investor within 15-minutes. This project has been the biggest fundraiser in Kickstarter’s short history when they raised $941,718 a mere $926,718 more than what they needed to fund the project. It is the brainchild of Scott Wilson, the former Global Creative Director for Nike Watches.

After a few weeks of waiting the box finally arrived. The bands are really well made and very thought out. The TikTok is a simple snap in but the LunaTik is the one that really makes this project dope. It features the same silicone strap but the encasing, made of forged and machined aircraft grade aluminum, really sets it apart and gives it a high end feel and protective setting at the same time. Comes with easy to follow, step by step diagram instructions. Check the video and pics below.

The trailer for the highly-anticpated prequel X: Men: First Class has surfaced. This episdoe is directed by Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake, Kick-Ass) and looks to be pretty ill from the preview. Hopefully it will knock out the less than moving Wolverine movie. We’ll find out when it hits theaters June 3rd.

Tyler The Creator is back with the first single “Yonkers” off his upcoming Sophomore effort Goblin set for a April release. The video was directed by Wolf Haley and takes a minimilastic approach and let’s the young MC do what he does best without any extra nonsense. Peep the blacked out contacts.

Married to the Mob brings you their Spring 2011 collection that features Chicago’s Kid Sister. Photographs taken by Tom Medvedich. This line features graphic t-shirts based on their affinity for shoes, Hip-Hop, and men.

Their new Palladium LITE boots weigh 10oz less than their normal boots, but are still very breathable, durable and versatile.  The upper consists of Drilex lining and cotton blen rip-stop fabrics which takes care of your sweaty feet on those blistering “Do The Right Thing” summer days. Also, the boots are lined with a seersucker pattern which will make anyone wearing a pair infinitely cooler. These will be available on the Palladium Boot’s website.
