Age is relative. Style is enduring. And, for both surfwear/streetwear pioneers Stussy and myself, our respectively shared 30th season of incorrigible freshness has been met with flowing rose' bubbles and dancing rose petals ... well, sometimes ... lol. Alas, while I too have many an adoring fan (NOTE: For which I am truly blessed), Livestyle is certainly no Stussy and, as such, no, Nike has NOT created a special capsule collection in my honor. I am working on it though. Maybe next year ... lol..

However, if your name happens to be Shawn Stussy, since March 2010, Y.O.U. have spent the better part of this year accepting gifts from a who's who of corner store coutouriers - including, but not limited to such global Downtown designer demigods as NEIGHBORHOOD, Bounty Hunter, Leilow, The Hideout, Slam Jam, Claw and HELLZ - whom each owe the Stussy brand some major back rent for living large on the land AND in the house that Stussy founded some 3 decades ago. Now, it's Nike's turn to pay tribute. That thee international sportswear company would genuflect before the altar of dope that is Stussy on their 30th birthday only further evinces the continuing importance of this groundbreaking label.

Sure, Nike's got the superstar athlete sponsorship game on lock, but, they know that gym rats aint the ones mortgaging their futures on overpriced dunks! Nope. So, when it's time to play ball with the cash register ruling "Hipster Class" (NOTE: My apologies to those of Y.O.U. that actually DO engage in reasonable clothing sizing and color coordination. My tastes often bring me within mere miles of planet Trendoid as well. Keep your guns up! I share your pain), Nike knows better than most just how to pander to everybody on que. Once again, them old Blue Ribbon Sports boys have put all of their Oregon Ducks (NOTE: GO DUCKS!) in a row and are set to release the uber limited edition Nike Sportswear for Stussy 30th Anniversary Collection this Friday, December 1, 2010.

Street culture dorks prepare to rejoice as this Courtney Love drug test (READ: DOPE!) collabo features an awesome NSW Destroyer varsity jacket, 2 "All Court-Mid" models available in either black or white with a snake print "Swoosh" and 3 tees celebrating not only Stussy's 30 years in business, but, also, 10 years of both brands working together. Hey, for being "Dirty 30", Stussy sure cleans up NICE! LOL. Holla @ ya boy in BK!
