Verse Oakland

According to Billboard...

Billboard debuted its “Sexiest Men/Sexiest Women In Music” list and to my surprise actor-turned-rapper Drake made the list! The Toronto native is definitely among Hip-hop’s most sought after– scoring major endorsement deals and even a Grammy nomination without dropping an album. Drake came in at No. 10 with 1.8% of the vote. While R&B crooners Chris Brown, Usher and Maxwell also made the list.

10 Sexiest Men in Music

1. Adam Lambert huh?

2. Nick Jonas what?

3. Chris Brown yes

4. Justin Timberlake no comment

5. Enrique Iglesias yes

6. Bruce Springsteen shoulder shrugs

7. Jon Bon Jovi see # 6

8. Usher yes

9. Maxwell hell yes

10. Drake see # 7

i know what your thinking guys, whose eyes where there using when creating this list and why is "Billboard" qualified to judge what is "sexy". Stick to tracking record sales.

Converse First String Standard Chuck Taylor All Stars

Verse Oakland says: these are official, hope they make in my size. upon first glance i thought they were jack purcells, peep description below:

Designed to showcase Converse’s most coveted product, the Converse First String collections are focused on original silhouettes, modern design, premium construction, high-level distribution and occasional collaborations with originals in art, design, fashion and culture. The Converse First String Standards collection is not done in collaboration, but is a collection of very special, hand-picked silhouettes mined from the Converse archives, and re-considered.

Using what is the signature Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette for First String, this shoe echoes the familiar Chuck, but has unique features like higher rubber rands, a vintage rubber license plate logo and a premium comfort system. Originally made for the military in the 1960s, the First String versions have a clean modern feel with monochromatic rubber outsoles and chambray uppers with contrast stitching. The Converse First String Standards Chuck Taylor All Star shoes will be available late February and come in low-top blue or black chambray versions. A purple version will debut later in the year. Look out for a release at Undefeated and Ubiq in the coming weeks.
