Artist's Corner - Li Wei
I have decided to add a new feature to my site, Artist's Corner, which i feel will greatly contribute to it's overall culture and brand. Here, we discuss music and fashion in an abundance, so why not add visual art as well? My first feature will be of an artist whom i came upon simple browsing through pictures on the web. What you will see here is not what you call "Photoshop art", but actual real-life photographed scenes. While this may be hard to believe, I hear these shots were made possible through the use of some fancy combination of wires, mirror, and possibly a coat hanger...

Sneak(er) Peak: Air Jordan Retro 13 "Flint"
Holiday season 2010 and spring 2011 are both looking great for the Air Jordan 13. The most noted and anticipated colorways are the "Flint" and the "Altitude Green". For those who missed out on these in 2005, here's your chance to catch up. The Flint's will be releasing on November 26 at an expected retail price of $150. More pics after the jump.
T.I. Drug Case Thrown Out By D.A.
It appears that the self-proclaimed "King of the South" may have once again escaped a brush with the law. The L.A. County District Attorney's office has decided to toss the drug case stemming from T.I.'s arrest early last month. This is the same case that led to his recent 11 month sentence for violating probation. On September 1, T.I. and his wife, Tiny, were arrested for alleged possession of a controlled substance. Originally thought to be marijuana, the substance was later revealed to have possibly been ecstasy . The District Attorney office advised that they decided not to pursue the case since T.I. will already face prison time due to his arrest being a violation of his federal probation. While this new development won't overturn his current prison sentence, it will at least prevent him from having other legal problems to worry about.

Sneak(er) Peak: Air Jordan Retro 11 "Cool Grey"
As usual, Jordan Brand plans to end the year with another epic release. Sticking to the script of last years "Space Jam" 11's, the "Cool Grey's" will feature the same packaging and retail price of $175. This year's version differs just slightly from its original release in 2001 (big surprise, huh?), featuring an "ice blue" tinted outsole versus the original clear one. This change, however, appears to be well welcomed by sneaker enthusiasts. With that said, the official release date is December 23. The price is $175. Will YOU be copping?

You will find that the design is very similar to that of the "Miro Olympic 7's". No official word on a release date yet, but count on us to keep you updated!

It's about time someone addressed this. "[I Don't Wear] Man Purses" goes hard for obvious reasons. Hot or Not?

Soooooo, Who Has Been Waiting For These? Up-Close Look: Altitude Green Retro 13
This very popular color-way of the AJ13, which originally debuted in 2005, will be releasing once again this holiday season. This version, however, differs just slightly from the original. Jordan brand has opted to do away with the premium leather upper and instead go with the lighter 3M mesh material, which is also featured on the "French Blue" 13's as well. I personally think this is a nice face-lift to an already great shoe. While there is no word of an official release date yet, you can count on Franchised Society for an update as soon as its available. Will you still be copping despite the new mesh upper? Feel free to comment.
[UPDATE:] The release date has been confirmed forDecember 4, 2010 December 11, 2010at $160.

What’s up, Mr. Postman?
One of my top 10 favorite movies, which really says something considering that I like a LOT of movies... "Poetic Justice": Love is a juice that has many flavours: some bitter; others sweet.
This just might be a G.O.O.D. year..
We have seen the rise and growth of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music Label, now being fueled by artists who all bring something DIFFERENT to the table, you may be seeing names like Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Cyhi the Prince, Pusha T, and Common more often in 2010/2011.
