PAY HOMAGE (JAY-Z & OPRAH)

GROWN MAN SHIT! (Gran Patrón Burdeos Tequila)

FACT: If you're ready to take your celebratory boozing to the next level, Gran Patrón Burdeos Tequila ($740) is just the stuff. Distilled from the finest blue agave, this ultra-premium dark tequila is matured in a blend of American and French oak barrels and aged for a minimum of 12 months. It's then distilled again in vintage Bordeaux barrels from France. Each unleaded crystal bottle comes in a black walnut box with a special corkscrew and a crystal bee stopper. Be sure to sign up for the Uncrate-approved Patrón Social Club.

CHEERS! (Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler)

FACT: Ever wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value pack, the cooler has plenty of room for all six bottles, ice, and the requisite cans of Red Bull, and uses the same tech as the Jägermeister Tap Machine to deliver ice-cold shots straight from the external tap.

LIMITED EDITION SWAG! (Ultra-Exclusive Veritas RS III)

FACT: If you were enchanted by the idea of a retro German roadster with a 500-horsepower V10 engine on tap, you'd better start saving. Because reports from Germany, home of the eminently desirable Veritas RS III, place the supercar's price at a handsome €342,000 (about $487k in US dollars).

You'd also better act fast if you want to get your hands on one, because Vermot AG, the engineering start-up responsible for the Veritas, will only make 30 examples, pretty much guaranteeing you won't pull up next to another one at a traffic light. After those initial 30 are sold, they'll build an additional 30 versions with a fixed roof, and they're also said to be working on an ultra-exclusive sport-utility vehicle with an aircraft engine underneath the hood. Oh dear, this is going to be expensive.

GROWN MAN SHIT! (Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall/Winter 2009 Bag Collection You’ve no doubt already seen a few releases from Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 09)

FACT: You’ve no doubt already seen a few releases from Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2009 men’s bag collection, but here’s a breakdown of the entire collection recently revealed by LV studio director, Paul Helber. Inspired by the “traveling wardrobe of an African king”, the collection features a few familiar models such as the Keepall and Steamer bag featuring the monogram print. While normally not the biggest LV monogrammed-flossers, the highly anticipated soccer ball-quilted Monogram Hexagone Keepall 45 Bandoulière, originally spotted during Paris Fashion Week, is still absolute tops. Although, we would love to see that in a Damier Graphite. Other notables include the non-leather, Monogram Escapade Cabas tote bag and embossed, Monogram Revelation 45 Bandoulière. If you really want to stand out alone with your $5K bag, the Louis Vuitton Personalization is a really nice touch and that’ll make it uniquely yours.

Yet we can easily forget that all this chatter was the result of some hard work on the part of Kanye, Mark Smith and the entire Nike design team, whose goal it was to produce a retro-futuristic hybrid sneaker, innovating at every step along the way to make this the standout sneaker of the year.
