Lebron's Air Force One's revealed, DFA does hip hop and Freddy Adu makes a career-killing mistake at 14?
Here's some of the first shots of Nike's brand new Lebron James Air Force One's in the Cleveland Cavs' colors with the Lebron logo stitched in the heel. They're scheduled to drop for thanksgiving. Sneaker freaks, how can you not cop these? This is extra-buttery hotness.

The DFA crew is producing hip hop now? (Source: Catchdubs.com) Automato's first 12" "Walk into the Light," released by Dim Mak Records, is produced by James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of DFA and described as sounding "somewhere between Cannibal Ox, Andre 3000, Jay Z, and Ghostface [Killah], while the beats recall a mid-nineties Pete Rock remix of Talking Heads covering Kraftwerk". Agree? Check it out for yourself here. To my ears, not quite the paradigm shift in hip hop music I would have expected given what these cats did for house music with The Rapture, but not embarassing either.
Soccer phenom Freddy Adu, widely considered one of the best young players in the world, signs to DC United in the US MLS league instead of going to Europe where he was courted by powerhouse teams like Manchester United. This is both good and bad news for US's future in soccer: good because him playing in the MLS could help attract new fans to the sport here but bad in that this kid needs to be playing with the best-of-the-best to develop into the kind of player who can help US become real contenders for soccer's biggest crown.
