Brooklyn emcees the Beastie Boys lost founding member Adam Yauch to cancer last week, but the group still has three dudes intact if you count the guy who was once known as ‘the fourth Beastie’. Street photographer Ricky Powell has seen the entire arc of hip-hop culture, from those ’80s golden era days to the current environment where something like Run-DMC’s deal with adidas is more like the rule than an exception. But Powell manages to maintain some of that limited edition mystique by teaming up with one of the smaller major brands, and his Ricky Powell x Pony capsule most definitely lives up to his ‘Do You…’ creedo. The black hightop Slam Dunks are fully vegetarian to match Ricky’s lifestyle, and a bunch of matching gear will be on tap whenever these hit retail.

Printed socks have become all the rage over the last year, so Nike decided to delve into that relatively untapped area of fashion by creating these custom-printed Nike Elite basketball socks.

We’re not quite back to the days of ‘Tiger or the field?’, but with a win last week at Bay Hill, one Eldrick Woods is looking stronger heading into The Masters than he has in years. Tiger joins the field of those gifted Nike Air Force 1 Low PEs as we approach this year’s tournament, a matching Storm Fit jacket reminding us that it’s been seven years since Woods won in Augusta. His four Green Jackets are commemorated on the chest where the top ‘club’ replaces its driver head with flowers like those that appear on the AF1′s underlay and laser etching, details that you can examine more closely in additional images after the jump. via HKK
