As we get closer to the release of The Hundreds x Supermax Collection release, we present you today the Lucky Luciano video interview. The founder of the LA streetwear label of the early 90’s got together at the time with Mr. Cartoon, who translated his vision into mostly t-shirt graphics. The interview gives some more background information on Supermax and the collaboration itself. Check out the interview here above!

For the US Nike chose none other than Mr. Cartoon to collaborate on the team kit.

Calling himself “Mister Cartoon,” this Los Angeles street art legend has had a strong relationship with Nike for many years. His detailed black and white drawings, inspired by prison tattoos, are highly sought after in the music world and beyond. When presented with this project, Cartoon jumped at the opportunity to work on a uniform that would represent the country he loves. His eagle mascot is tough as nails, with a halo of stars and a look in his eye that says, “Don’t mess with the U.S.” On the crest, “USA” is written in Cartoon’s modified version of old English and scrolls remind wearers of the visual language of tattoos art.

Next to the apparel that comes with the team kit, Mr. Cartoon also worked on some sneakers, including the Air Zoom Tiempo, that you see here above.

Reminiscent of the World Tour project that took place for the brand’s XXV year celebration, Stussy reveals the first group of XXX anniversary tees. Collaborations with Japan’s 40% Against Rights (by Tet), Mr. Cartoon’s Last Laugh, Hawaii’s Leilow and Berlin’s Firmament are seen alongside girls tees by Hellz Bellz and Hyde SK. Certainly brings back some nostalgia from the days where streetwear felt so much more exciting. These shirts will be on sale Saturday, February 20th at Stussy Japan accounts.

Take a leap for a full look into the first group of Stussy XXX T-Shirts.

In this episode Maestro visits downtown LA to link up with Mr. Cartoon & take a ride in his ‘62 Impala. Cartoon tells his LA story and Maestro recalls the Juxtapoz 15th anniversary and Mr. Cartoon G-Shock launch event. Enjoy!

Today we can finally give you a more detailed look at the collaborative watches by G-Shock with Mr. Cartoon, Todd Jordan and Redman.

“To create the three new models, Casio has collaborated with a graphic artist, a photographer, and a hip-hop artist. The results are the Mr. Cartoon model (DW-6900MRC), the Todd Jordan model (DW-5600TOD), and the Redman model (AW-591RED).”

We especially like the Todd Jordan watch, which comes in a nice black/silver colorway with matching black screen and signature.

More views of the watches follow after the jump.

MetroPCS and Samsung got together with graffiti artist Mr. Cartoon to collaborate on the Samsung Messager phone. The limited edition Samsung Messager will be available to consumers in all MetroPCS markets. Mister Cartoon wallpapers, ringtones and animation are preloaded on the handsets with additional downloads available from the MetroPCS Web site. A portion of revenues generated from this MetroPCS and SA Studios Global initiative will go directly to funding community art centers, outreach programs for at-risk youth and art supplies for local Los Angeles schools, Mister Cartoon’s hometown. Additionally, the first ten phones in the series will be auctioned for charity on the MetroPCS Web site in the month of August.

After showing you yesterday the latest G-Shock August 2009 releases, we get a first look today at the Mr. Cartoon DW-6900 watch. The watch comes in a navy/grey colorway and features all-over graphics by the artist. According to WWD we can also expect collaborations with Redman and Todd Jordan soon.

The Nike x Livestrong project just keeps getting better and better. As the latest extension to the campaign, Nike has created custom bike seats that match up with each shoe in the Stages collection. As many of you know, Mr Cartoons’ Livestrong AF1 was released, and subsequently sold out, across the country this past weekend. As such, the first saddle to be revealed is laser engraved with Mister Cartoon’s “LA” icon and some of his signature swirls. Although Brooks Saddles were used for the visual presentation, the saddle itself is not part of the Livestrong collection and is not a collaboration with Brooks. Unfortunately these saddles won’t be produced. Stay tuned for a look at more saddles by the likes of Futura and Busy P.

Never released publicly, the original Mister Cartoon Air Force 1 was only available to select friends and family of Los Angeles’ most celebrated tattoo artist. Immediately acknowledged as an instant classic, die-hard collectors paid upwards of $3,000 for the limited pairs that made it outside. Comprehensively re designed by Mister Cartoon for this release, the new look AF1 again deploys Laser technology to provide the gritty graphics reflecting its city of origin.

Releasing along with the other high profile collaborative sneakers from the Nike Sportswear Livestrong Stages Collection, this might be your final chance to score the classic.

At the event in Los Angeles, Nike and Lance Armstrong did not only present his new Kaws and Barry McGee bikes, but also showed off some new Nike “Livestrong” sneakers, also designed by artists. We see an Air Force 1, a Dunk Hi and on the right a Footscape Woven. The Dunk Hi seems to have been designed by Futura, others by So_Me, Mr. Cartoon and other great artists. Whether or not these will actually be coming out, we cannot tell you to date, but we’ll keep you posted. Via Paul Mittelman.
