Terrance is a collector of Jordan 1's so its only right that we feature one the coolest Jordan releases this year. Jordan Brand has officially unveiled the New 2013 YOTS collection. The "Year of the Snake" pack is scheduled to hit stores on February 2nd. Check here for availability on Feb 2.

NIKE description: In celebration of 2013 as the Year of the Snake on the Chinese lunar calendar, the Jordan Brand will introduce the YOTS collection that will be available at retail on February 2. The pack includes both a MELO M9 and an Air Jordan 1 High for an SRP of $280.

Drawing inspirational cues from a snake's sixth sense-like ability to detect body temperature and environmental changes in its prey, the YOTS collection brings that heat sensory story to life through rich colors and materials. The Air Jordan 1 High YOTS uses a gradient outsole and upper featuring both suede and patent leather with distinct colors to symbolize the effects of temperature change.

Both shoes share rich color palettes that include Blacken Blue/Bright Citrus/Hyper Red/Raspberry Red/Deep Royal Blue and Volt.

BRANDS THAT INSPIRE : BROOKLYN CIRCUS

Brooklyn Circus is a brand that can be described as neo-victorian, dandy, and retro-urban. Its a mix of old and new, lined with confidence and trimmed with grace. The company was founded by Haitian-American, Ouigi Theodore, whose goal is to "refine the image of urban America."
"BKc has produced garments that bring the past forward into the future while extending an ethos of education, empowerment and authenticity." - Source BKc Website 

That definitely gets our stamp of COOL.

Check out some of these videos to hear more about the brand and its founder.

Theodore studied graphic design at FIT and worked as a graphic designer right after he graduated with a history degree. He later scraped together $8,000 and opened his shop. Although he originally helped design the clothes at Brooklyn Circus under the BKC label, Mr. Theodore now farms out the designing, casting himself more as an idea-generator and curator.
