Even with Black History Month being officially over, I still want to share this great piece by J. Kissi and Trav Gumbs from Street Etiquette. The guys continue to top their previous endeavors in blogging with their Birth of the Cool: 20 Black Style Pioneers featured on GQ. The article gives readers a visual lesson in the classic style of 20 black icons including the likes of Dick Gregory, Sammy Davis Jr. and Miles Davis. Seriously, these guys (Street Etiquette) are everywhere, and it’s definitely well deserved. If you’re not familiar with their blog, you don’t know what your missing…..it’s dope. Check out some of the pics from the list

Fashion: Nano Universe x Champion Collaboration – Cropped Cargo Sweats
It’s very rare that you would associate anything fashionable with Champion, as a brand. When I think of Champion I see hoodies, sweatpants, and high school team uniforms. Well, Champion recently collaborated with Japanese retailer, Nano Universe to create these fly, cropped, cargo sweat pants. It’s good to see Champion collaborating with creative retailers and designers to remain relevant in an industry. Of course, hoodies and sweatpants will always be around, but revamping the sweatpants and adding some utility to them is really impressive. The mid-shin length is going to be a good look for Spring and Summer temperatures which are right around the corner. Check out the shots of the new sweats
