T-shirt changes color with heat - shows off your pitstains

We at sneakhype do love big asses. And the word "whip"...? They should have made it spell "whipped" -- I think that would have made more sense. It's pretty cool that it changes colors with heat, but seriously, if you're a dude who already had problems with pitstains, this shirt would only serve to highlight your own embarrassment. It also comes in a reddish color and you can buy it here.

The Represenitives from Lawrence, Kansas

The 3 coolest rookies in the NBA are pictured here wearing some sick shoes (except Arthur). As you can see Rush is wearing some of the AJF 3’s while Chalmers opted to wear the black and white AJF 12’s. Arthur must have forgotten his kicks or something. This picture is from the rookie photo shoot that went down a few days ago. If I were to guess who is going to do the best this season I would have to vote Mario, especially if he starts at the point for MIA. He does not have a number yet because he is trying to get 13 which is currently held by Alexander Johnson. Sneakhype will keep you posted on their NBA status, as well as their kicks - The Chronnoisseur
