Reebok is continuing the partnership with Jean-Michel Basquiat, unveiling the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Just as the previous seasons, the majority of the current season is made up of Reebok‘s iconic sneakers, yet some new apparel pieces are introduced to broaden the collection. Footwear range consists of Omni Pump Lite, Freestyle and Top Down, while the apparel line includes outerwear, cardigans and t-shirts. As one would expect, each piece is decorated by the famous drawings and handwriting by Basquiat. Precise dates of the release is yet to be confirmed but select Reebok accounts should be receiving these items sometime this month. via: PROVIDER

Here is a little something to complement the XLarge x Yamaha TY-S Motorcycle, which is being raffled at the end of this month. The premium XLarge Presidential Label is partnering up with Toys McCoy again, this time producing a custom made, one of a kind Baby Buco Helmet. Graphics on the black helmet match the monochromatic motorcycle, featuring the iconic XLarge logos on both sides. Checker plate pattern is placed in the middle of the helmet, running from front to back. This helmet comes in size M/L which equates to around 58cm – 60cm in size. Unfortunately this helmet will be given away with the motorcycle and will not be on sale separately. All you need to do to win the motorcycle and the helmet is to drop by the XLarge Harajuku store and fill out an application form before Wednesday, February 29th.

The British singer, M.I.A., is no stranger to controversy; in fact, she recently stole the headlines at the Super Bowl halftime show, which involved a certain finger. Perhaps one of her most talked-about music videos was Born Free, produced by French director Romain Gavras. M.I.A. has teamed up with Gavras again on her latest music video for Bad Girls, which was shot on location in Morocco. Although this video is much more light hearted than the previous, it is still filled with the kind of high energy and grit that Gavras is known for. BMWs and Alfa Romeos perform high-speed stunts, and the fearless M.I.A. even sits comfortably on a BMW driving on two wheels. Watch the visually spectacular music video after the jump in high definition.

Every season Bedwin & The Heartbreakers launch the Jerry Award Jacket in different versions, making it a key piece that fans look forward to seeing. For the Spring 2012 season, the basic jacket has been made using a lightweight, cotton jersey fabric. Its silhouette has not changed dramatically– however, this lighter body allows it to be worn much more casually. Two colorways–Gray and Black–were produced, with each item detailed by a BH patch on the left chest. The monotone, knitted ribbing on the collar, cuffs and waist complements the minimalist style of the jackets. via: Intention
