TA NGLED WE B For when you aren���t checking box scores for your fantasy team��� Fashion http://lookseegoods.com Kyle Yamaguchi, the founder and CEO of LOOK/SEE Goods, spent the ���rst part of his career creating designs for the biggest sneaker brand in the world: Nike. After meeting his optician wife, Shu-Chu, they launched their own eyewear brand, 141, which after a couple years was pro���table enough to allow Yamaguchi a chance to leave Nike and create his own brand: LOOK/SEE Goods. It combines his love for style and eyewear to create sunglasses even Russell Westbrook would ���nd ���y. Currently, the LOOK/SEE shop features original pairs of shades and collaborations, such as the LOOK/SEE Pressure with designer Adam R. Garcia, a graphic designer who also hails from Nike. LOOK/SEE���s site interface is easy to navigate and offers terri���c pictures of their wares. They may be a tad expensive for pure sunglasses (prices start around $69), but they���re one-of-a-kind styles you can���t get anywhere else, so don���t worry about copycats at the club unless you run into Marlo from The Wire. Art http://rareink.com RareInk features limited edition ���ne art in conjunction with the NBA. Because they���re league partners, you can purchase their ���ne art based off various teams, speci���c players or collections. The latter includes your typical established stars like Durant, Kobe and LeBron, as well as ���Melo, Rondo and the Blake-Paul pairing for the Clippers. There isn���t a set-in-stone style for the works of art. A personal favorite for any urban art enthusiast is the street style, with spray-painted ���ecks portraying anyone from Jerry West to contemporary Lakers star, Kobe. There are also some ultra-realist paintings. They don���t just have paper glossys either; with each piece, you can select an 18x24 paper version (with a frame as an add-on) or two sizes of canvas: 18x24 or 24x30. If you���re craving an old-school post feel, they���ve got those too featuring some of the best tandems in NBA history like RunTMC, the Reign Man and the Glove in Seattle, the awesome ���86 Celtics, or Walt and Willis in that glorious summer in New York. If you���re an NBA fan looking to spend a little loot on your living room or bedroom, you���re gonna want to bookmark these guys. Humor http://kanyewesanderson.tumblr.com Strange collaborations are the hallmark of some of the best NBA teams in history, but most of the pairings pale in comparison to the new Tumblr called Kanye Wes (Anderson). The site posts large, splashy pictures from Wes Anderson���s movies with Kanye lyrics layered over them in Arial font. The juxtaposition of Kanye���s more celebrated lyrics onto the twee environs usually found in Wes Anderson ���lms, creates an amusing collage of postmodern kitsch. And they work better than you���d guess too, like in one Zissou-inspired Life Aquatic and ���Get ���Em High��� post, or a Moonrise Kingdom and ���Birthday Song��� offering. The site is a pretty good example of what works on Tumblr, and coincidentally leaves most contemporary consumers of Internet humor in stitches of laughter. 21
