Cue up “Quiet Storms” on iTunes and kick up your feet in a pair of Mobb Deep‘s official Timberland boots. The level 61 6″ classics have a brown level upper and the expected trademark Timberland rubber outsole, as well as rope laces through metal eyelets and green nubuck ankle collar. An appropriate paring considering that Timberland has come to be as associated with hip-hop as Mobb Deep themselves. You ain’t a shook one — so give up the goods at participating Timberland retailers (a la David Z) come September 20th for $180.

Chris Cowan Sanluis, fashion designer to the stars, has teamed up with the tech brand Acer to make us all a shiny reminder that the world has completely gone to shit — in a fun, earthbound-Barbarella sort of way. What you have here is more than a sparkly pink sequined sombrero. Because this is actually a sparkly pink sequined sombrero that will vastly improve your selfie angles, made with a camera-shot holder that will specifically fit (and promote) the Acer’s new A1-840 tablet. Now that’s convenience. Boasted as the “world’s first selfie hat” — as if such an invention were on par with the (nonselfie-taking) telephone or rocket-launching gogo boots — the hat rotates 360-degrees for the optimal selfie. But that’s not all. The tablet comes with wittle hats of its own for reasons presently unknown to man. Aww, isn’t that fucking absurd and the Earth is ready to implode with its own stupidity adorable? Well, get ready world. It premiered yesterday, September 16th, for London fashion week. As for a detachable shimmery shoulder pad that looks like a second head? Sorry, you’re still on your own when it comes to #photobomb fashion.

Turn your brain into bubble gum and say cheese…

In the opulently appointed world of Bentley Motors, the GT Continental has always been the bristling high-performance model. Its recently unveiled GT Speed is the most powerful and fastest Bentley ever built (626 horsepower/206 mph), while the GT3-R edition has been dubbed its quickest (0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds).

So where does that leave the rest of Bentley’s Moët-fueled line-up?

This morning Bentley Motors announced it has applied its steroid program to its top-of-the-line flagship vehicle, the mansion-esque Mulsanne. The halo vehicle now also gets Bentley’s “Speed” moniker, and with it a 530 horsepower powerplant that’s nearly unequaled in the luxury barge market. Sure that falls significantly short of Mercedes-Benz’s cold-fusion powered, 621-horsepower S65 (disclaimer: it’s actually powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12). But the engineers in Crewe chose to forego ludicrous horsepower output in favor of torque, that magical property that provides magnetic low-end pull. And in a giant, rolling land yacht crafted from wheels to moonroof to provide the apotheosis of luxury, torque and its mountain-moving take-off is where it’s at.

While Mercedes-Benz’s S65 boasts an eyebrow-raising 738 lb-ft of torque, the Mulsanne promises a truly ridiculous figure of 811 lb-ft. That is Monty Python-level absurd.

Rick Owens, a high-fashion magnate prone to street wear inspiration, has taken his sights to the skateboard world with the RICKBOARD deck. Hence comes the title of “RICKBOARD” with the letters deliberately capped, because this board is too big time for the lower cases. Its worn appearance is probably due to the deck being made from petrified wood, its look deliberately simple, harkening back to the homemade ramps of plywood the designer remembers from his youth. If you’re looking for a deck that is too gentle  — and expensive  — to actually ever dare touch to a curb, then hit the artist’s Selfridges store, and be ready to drop over $15,000. That’s a pretty penny for a display-only deck where the only drop in you’ll be doing is that of dollars.

Keith Haring, street artist and beloved social activist, was the mind behind the legendary “Crack is Wack” street mural that has been lighting up the park in East Harlem since 1986. And now its iconic images go to Reebok footwear, who also has its roots to popularity tied deeply to the 80’s. In fact, Reebok will be reintroducing many of its OG, 80’s reminiscent silhouettes with the iconic “Crack Is Wack” look added to the upper. This will actually be the second time around for the Haring x Reebok collaboration (the first being in 2013), with this season’s lineup to include the Instapump Fury, Omni Lite, Court Victory, Running Dual, and Aerobic Lite, all due out sometime late September.
