In case you missed it, here is VibeRotation 7, only difference is it appears on the new site!

(From 12/31/14) Today we look back on our success and failures, today we see how much we have grown over the past year, and today we gear up to better ourselves, set new goals, and live another year. Today is a celebration as we welcome 2015 at midnight. As the parties ensue let InTheRough's VibeRotation 7 be the playlist because this one is strictly turn up. The seventh edition features songs that came out yesterday, weeks ago, months ago, and in years past, but all 50 of them we thoroughly enjoy and hope you do too. Go to our SoundCloud now and have a safe and happy New Year, see you on the other side! 

Jordan XI Premium Shoe Bag by Maxwell Young

The Air Jordan XI has been an iconic silhouette with many popular and sought after iterations.  The "Legend Blue" colorway that dropped at the end of 2014 has since been transformed into a functional shoe bag.  Sticking to the characteristics of the XI, the shoe bag features nylon mesh and patent leather for a top-load design offering access to all your goods.  The bottom of the bag is identical to the actual Jordan XI with an integrated outsole functioning as the base.  Designers at Nike and Jordan Brand have certainly stepped out of the box with this design that it makes me wonder if any of the inspiration stems from Alexander Wang's sneaker bags from his Spring/Summer 2015 collection.  Regardless, the Jordan XI Premium Shoe Bag is available online at Nike.com.

KYLE and Kehlani Tell Us Instagram Likes do not Mean Sh*t by Alex Young

Love is an experience and understanding shared by two people going throughout life together, living in the present, making memories, and being completely engulfed in the moment. However, the Ventura, CA crooner, KYLE, and Oakland, CA songstress, Kehlani, fear that the world's next generation of kids will interpret love by the number of likes on their Instagram picture. Their new song, "Just A Picture", KYLE explains to FADER, "was inspired by the fear that there will be a 'selfie class' in middle school 20 years from now. Our kids grow up thinking that liking someone means double tapping their picture." The important message is accompanied by a funky pop beat produced by Sunny Norway and Ben Free. Enjoy below!

Go Shopping with Jeff Goldblum by Alex Young

You may know him as Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park or David Levinson from the 1996 classic Independence Day, but we Pittsburghers know him as Jeff Goldblum. Here is the thing, do not be confused by his often corky characters because Mr. Goldblum is one cool dude with a simplistic, edgy, functional, and fun sense of style. HYPEBEAST provides visual evidence of this as they release "Adding to Jeff Goldblum's Closet with Kyle NG", showing the actor and fashion consultant travel around Los Angeles to stores like Undefeated and Self Edge looking only for the essentials to add to Jeff's closet. Watch below as the Pittsburgh actor picks up some staple t-shirts and a pair of the iconic Chuck Taylors.

Standing at 6'7" tall, Waraire Boswell has dveloped his namesake brand out of necessity.  With quality and functionality at the forefront of every design, Boswell has had success in the menswear industry for over the last 12 years.  His height and nature of designs has appealed to many athletes such as Chris Bosh, Matt Kemp, Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James, while simultaneously catapulting his brand into the fashion spotlight.

In 2013, Boswell expanded his brand with a casual athletic leisure line BOSWELL.  Now in 2015, the CEO has unveiled his own line of ready-to-wear clothing.  The collection, although chic, is simple in construction and color, as he sticks with whites and blacks.  Based around protection, Boswell's collection features the Lear Suit, which blends the comfort of a sweatsuit and aesthetics of streetwear with the functionality and formality of a traditional suit.  Also in the ready-to-wear line are elongated button-down shirts with various collar options, as well as a leather mask.  Head over to Waraire Boswell's site now to check out his latest project and check out the lookbook below.
