Harriet the Spy no longer

When she is not acting in Gossip Girl, Michelle Trachtenberg makes a damn good model. It doesn't help that I have had a crush on her since Harriet the Spy. Give the girl a damn magnifying glass and I'm good to go.

Air Yeezy is alive!

The Air Yeezy was developed from a strong relationship between West and Nike. Partnering with Nike Creative Director, Mark Smith, Kanye was taken through the product creation process, the same way athletes have with Nike Design for the past 37 years. West provided critical feedback on how the shoe performed throughout the course of his 2-3 hour performance sets, where the first prototypes of the Nike Air Yeezy were seen outside of Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, OR.

An almost obsessive focus was put on delivering supreme comfort throughout the development of the shoe. A careful balance was sought, each time new elements were added, with existing elements being taken away; a design process Smith refers to as “reductionism”. Equipped with debossed ankle collar pods for added support and protection, extra-thick sock liners, a forefoot support strap, original functional tension lace loops, and Phylon tooling taken from the 1987 Nike Air Assault for added performance and comfort. These performance attributes have been meticulously wrapped in premium full grain leather uppers and adorned with original design details that are uniquely Kanye and identifiably Nike. The remastered Nike Air Assault outsole is treated to glow-in-the-dark properties and will illuminate when the light is low. The forefoot support strap is premium grade patent leather and is of no-stitch construction. Clean seams are used throughout except for a premium suede toe wrap feature with visible stitch detail. Emblazoned across the Air Yeezy is an exclusive “Y” repeat pattern, as either a debossed or lasered detail, which takes inspiration from the Jordan brands iconic Elephant print material.

The Nike Air Yeezy colorways will release in Spring 2009:
April 2009 Zen Grey/LT Charcoal
May 2009 Black/ Black
June 2009 Net/Net

The Light, The Vision

So I hope all the kids out there are enjoying the UMi experience. Setting our hounds to the web to sniff through the garbage and find the freshest wear for your consumption, it's just what we do. Now, I'd just like a round of applause for Kodi, who's been more than keeping up his side of this project in hitting you with glasses, kicks, etc, updated several times a week. I just want to further my previous post's apology in saying that these past 2 months have been some of the busiest of my life. I've has been weighed down by every little thing and just havent been able to pick up the pencil lately, but never fear. No one here at UMi has lost the vision! I promise to you that I still see the light and when my days clear up I will more than make up my absence with a flood of hot designs. That being said, enjoy the site for now, and sit tight. Very soon you'll have your paws on some UMi merch that will make you the talk of the town.
