chockfullofjunk: Got to be pop or pop’s brother. nypl: Was one of Brooklyn’s finest in Harlem in 1939? This Sid Grossman photo of “Harlem Loiterers” from the Prints Collection at NYPL’s Schomburg Center for Research In Black Culture has created quite a stir since being posted to the Center’s Facebook page the other day. Why? Because the man on the right looks a heck of a lot like Jay-Z (for evidence, check out these photos of Jay-Z when he visited The New York Public Library in 2010). Cue Twilight Zone music, right? Schomburg’s Curator of Digital Collections Sylviane A. Diouf found the photo while researching an exhibition, and said, “I was immediately struck by the similarity to Jay-Z and actually laughed out loud … I still hope somebody will tell us who that young man really was.” So is Jay-Z a time traveler? Is this someone else - anyone know who? What do you think?

Nike Air Max 1 FB – “Orange Leopard”

By - May 13th, 2013

Last week, we reported on the Nike Air Max 1 FB, this week our friends at SneakerFreaker have uncovered a second colorway in this pack this time a bring orange leopard print suede. The lime green used on the outsole, plastic eyelet, air bubble, and tongue tab seems to be a shade darker than on the “blue leopard” pair, but then again, it could be due to the lighting. One other slight difference is the laces on the orange colorway are in contrast to the black tongue whereas the blue leopards features black tonal laces. No release dates have been given announced on either pair.
