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.

the ny streetball summer is almost over and on saturday the self-proclaimed “best tournament in the bronx” had its final day. crunch-time at watson! the unlimited division’s final between “money over everything” (m.o.e.) and “play da game” was a defensive battle. both teams were loaded with talent such as gordy “the cab driver” malone, jiggy josh, rasco the defender and regular season mvp curtis “the driving force” stinson. the latter led his team “play da game” in a “it’s getting dark but no lights”- 4th quarter battle to a 87-77 victory over m.o.e. and earned himself mvp honors.
k1x is proud to be closely associated to the watson tourney, and looks forward to a family reunion next summer!

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

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…


bx all day! forever, actually…


dr fu cuddles up to his childhood idol, slick rick. matching your tee to hook up to your limegreen eye-patch is one of the very slickest looks ever, by the way!
