Jared blinked a few years back and became a photographer. He is still unsure if this was a painful accident or beautiful stroke of luck. Having spent the last 7 years working behind the scenes shooting djs in an effort to document the rise of club culture and the dj he has seen quite a few dance floors around the world. In his search he came across some amazing faces in the music such as Ron Carroll, Chris Samba, Louie Vega, Kaskade, Mfr, Dj Spinna, Robert Owens, The Rogue Traders, Kraftwerk, The Gorrilaz, Ben Watt and Chris Lum to name a few. Occasionally he has been able to corner a vocalist or two such as Kenny Bobien, Ultra Nate, and Barbara Tucker. All of them have left an indelible mark on him and his lens which has kept him going despite the early morning plane flights, late night taxis and empty wallets. I doubt he would trade any of it for the world. So when he is not writing for URB he is most likely stuck on a plane or hiding behind his camera in some dark club somewhere, anywhere in the world good dance music can be found.

Jermaine Dupri for Nu Pop Movement

Nu Pop Movement x Jermaine Dupri Watches 

I admit I have a thing for dope watches. I mean c’mon, the ladies get a near infinite choices of attire yet we men get to rock shoes or a watch. So give me a collaboration between Jermaine Dupri and Pascal Mouawad and let me ride. It seems like the unexpected collabs are crawling out of the woodwork for the Christmas season and this is no exception. The watches will run you between $95-150 depending on your shopping outlet. Check them out at Nu Pop.

Reebok Teams Up w/ Jean-Michel Basquait

Two Legends Join for Artsy Collab 

My fingers cringe as I type this because I am Adidas to the BONE. But what do you do when such an unlikely collaboration hits the shelves? Jean-Michel, unfortunately, cannot be denied despite his post mortem choice of shoe. Nice work, Reebok.

Adidas “Celtic” Samba

Celtics-Inspired Kicks 

Get your feet prepped for Christmas and St. Paddy’s day all in one go. Adidas is makes the matching of holidays, sports teams, and foot wear so much easier with the new Boston Celtics Samba release (I am sure this was the marketing behind the models, no?).  These green goblins have recently been spotted at Schuh-You out of Germany. Surely these will be a hit for our northeastern countrymen and would be a nice addition to anyone already holding the House of Pain “Campus” models as well.
