To the regret of many, Number (N)ine will be ceasing its operations with the end of 2009. The brand made carved out its own niche, and made their history designing unique, and forward thinking apparel. They style spanned all genres of clothing from high fashion to streetwear. Before they call it quits, they will be releasing a Fall/Winter collection, as well as their new Parfait tees, which have just arrived at Cliff Edge.

Tags: New Balance, New Balance 574, sneakers

New Balance initially released the 574 in the mid-’90s as a more easily accessible successor to the 576 model. It almost instantly became a classic and has since gained cult status. Starting this month, the brand will introduce the Location Program, which will consist of limited 574s only available at select retailers approved by New Balance and chosen for their specialized knowledge and commitment to quality. These are the stores they trust to treat the 574 with the respect it deserves, and as such, have been given a special designation to set them apart from the rest: 574 LOCATION. Stockists range from the world’s best independent retailers to key national footwear chains including Foot Locker and Finish Line. Each month from now until December, two styles will be released starting with a burgundy and a brown colourway. mash rating: 7/10

Cee-Lo (Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley) returns with a brand new video featuring a star-studded line up including Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes), Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy), Brendon Urie (Panic! at the Disco) and Janelle Monae. With so many big names on one track, I kind of expected more. It’s a bit too Disney after school special if you ask me.
