it’s about that time…back to school time. still there is reason to rejoice! we have just dropped our all new fall/winter line, called “versus”. you can read all about it simply by clicking the banner above. in a nutshell: this collection is about confrontation with happy endings. meaning we have mixed materials and opposed extremes to create a better product. sounds kinda intellectual? yeah, maybe. but wait ’til you see the outcome. this collection has more range than reggie miller – and boasts basketball-specific details like a stat-sheet. again, click the banner above to see a whole bunch of pics we took with some old and new members of the k1x inner circle. warriors like homicide williams, darren phillip, kareem reid, t-dub, high rizer as well as hip hop heads like saigon, joell ortiz, heltah skeltah or red cafe…
sometimes, we get all fancy with our photoshoots. then we arrange for arri lights, 5-star catering, a handful of assistants, puffy’s stylist, location scout, trailer, haute-couture photographer, fluff girls and all types of crap. well, not really. still, this time, we kept it realer than your local liquor store. all we did was hang out with the fam and shoot from the hip.
thanks to everyone who made this happen: big dus, neil, fu, pete, heiko, danny, dani, paul, jan, jeff, homi & the bx fam, keith, dp & the bk fam, thirst & hardware, big game reid, charles millan & t-dub, linda, mike & rize (atl), kevin & kadour, pretty ricky, c-wood, mel & grafh, dk, hannah, amber, ceez, d-solo, noah, k-starr, red, the kidz, ruck & rock, sophie & sai, mike, dennis & j.o, sha & stephenie and the whole k1x team.

is this a sight or what? ron ron looks like a million bucks in that firetruck houston jersey and those all time classic crispy white chiefeys. and it seem he’s ready to go. we can’t wait to see yao, t-mac and the tru warier take on jesus, truth and the big ticket. the olympics were nice, but it’s time for the league to get revved up. thanks to getty images for letting us show you this picture we could never have afforded!

okay … the game is poker in this case but joell is still looking fresh to the fullest in that kay-one-ex.










The annual Rock the Bells hip-hop tour was another bangin’ hit this year. With a legendary line-up, including A Tribe Called Quest, Nas and De La Soul, along with some of the freshest new players in the game such as Kidz in the Hall, The Cool Kids and Wale, it was a sure-fired summer jam-a-thon! Everyone from old-school fans to hip hop heads to sneakerhead kids made their way out to the all-day long event. And with plenty of beer on tap and bikini-topped hotties running around… well, you get the picture. Our k1x Meet the Parents also made a special appearance with high-rising duo, Kidz in the Hall, at the big show in Los Angeles. Check out these backstage pics of Double-O and Naledge…

the money train was once again rolling at the tri state classic taking the championship after defeating ed all-stars over the weekend. the game – some say it was the best of the summer – was packed with big names like antawn dobie, dp, c-wood, king of new york and special fx lacing it up for money train and quinton “T2-Judgement day” hosley, gordy malone aka “the cab driver“ and kenny sat representing ed all-stars.
t2 and serious sattelite kept it coming to secure an 18-point lead for ed a.s. at halftime. but darren phillip and the undertaker dominated the boards in the second half while antifreeze put the money train into fastbreak mode. the team even managed to overcome a 42-point efford by “t2“ and took the lead for good in o.t.
mvp honors went to darren phillip (regular season) and antifreeze (final). concrats to both guys!

pandemonium reigned supreme at 145th

antawn dobie aka antifreeze

the mvp’s mvp wins another trophy for his stunning collection. just to explain: k1x tee left, tsc trophy right…

emp & c-wood are sweatin’ in their drawers, yeah, oh, yeah…
after the game dp gave a special shout ot to the k1x family
It’s official, Watson Day should be a national holiday. Ok, maybe not, but it was definitely off the hook. Watson day is a street festival to celebrate all the different cultures of the bx. There’s salsa pumping on one end of the festival and hip hop on the other. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the
entire thing goes on right outside of the Watson Classic Basketball tournament. It was a like k1x heaven. Hip-hop performances (krs 1, slick Rick, Team blackout) and hoops going on at the same time.
Next week will be even crazier when coach Bernard takes his M.o.e (money over everything) team to the chip versus Play da Game Entertainment that is coached by local hoops legend Artie Green. It’s definitely going to be a goody. Stay tuned.

and why the hell not?!?

the bridge is over! krs one enters the building…
