Looking to blow your new holiday cash on some new b-boy paraphernalia? No? You’re still broke? Well, me too. But here’s my list* anyway. A b-boy can dream, right?

10. Godkee’s “Rock Creek Park” shirt (shown above): Well, it turns out that not only does Nasty Ray know every hip-hop-related dance style ever, but he also has good taste when it comes to clothing design. Clean, understated monochromatic type and subtle bird silhouettes set this apart from a sea of schizophrenic designs with every color and old school hip-hop reference possible. It’s the details that count. Click here for our previous coverage and here for the Godkee site.

9. Outbreak 5 DVD

In three words: RoxRite vs. Focus. I haven’t felt like I’ve needed to see a battle this bad in a very long time. I’m not even sure when the DVD is dropping, though it should be available here when it does. I probably would’ve felt the same way about Red Bull BC One and Evolution 4 if I hadn’t already seen the battles. Dang it. Am I contributing to the problem? Uh, next.

8. Nike Air Threads

Previously mentioned here and here, the Nike Air Thread is said to have been specifically designed to accommodate b-boy moves. In terms of looks, feedback seems to range from “ugh” to “meh,” but I just want to see if they really feel all that great, even if it means wearing women’s shoes.

7. NufSed’s “Be Original” tee

Just look at it. I already said what I needed to here. Click here to cop.

6. Focus’s “B-Boy Workshop” DVD

Ever since AlphaTrion compared it to Storm’s Footwork Fundamentals in his review here, I’ve felt a gaping hole my b-boy soul. Click here to cop.

5. Armory Survival Gear’s “Skulls” Tee

One of the quickest ways to make anything played out in 2009 was to slap skulls or b-boys on it, but this skeleton b-boy design from Pres One is nice and crispy. Cop here.

4. Sedgwick & Cedar’s tee(s)

I’m surprised I don’t see more cats rocking gear from this line at jams. If you didn’t catch our original post about the Kool Herc shirt here, Sedgwick & Cedar is a line that’s celebrating the roots of hip-hop in a way that’s not cheesy or trite — a challenging task at which many have failed. Click here to browse their collection.

3. Alien Ness’s “Art of Battle” Book

If you haven’t already guessed, I’d much rather learn by reading than by watching a streaming video. After hearing Ness talk about it here and Poe One talk about it here, my curiosity’s been piqued. Our original post is here, though it appears the original site here has been hacked.

2. Turn It Loose DVD

As we mentioned here, this feature film has one of the best trailers we’ve seen to date, and I’ve heard nothing but good things from those who’ve had a chance to check it out. Of course, I’m not exactly sure when it’s dropping on DVD, but when it does, I’m there (with tissues in hand [for crying]). Click here for the official site.

1. Slim knee pads

There are two problems with knee pads. First, for most people, if you don’t wear knee pads, your knees will start swelling up as if you did. Second, if you do, you risk looking like a high school volleyball player or Ninja Turtle.

The solution? Slim knee pads like the ones shown above, which are available at Champs–unless a b-boy retailer wants to get in on this. Hopefully, this’ll mean 2010 will be a year of fewer creaky knees.

*For the purposes of full disclosure: this is my personal list. I’m not an original OG b-boy from the ’70s. I don’t wear foam caps or Puma Suedes. On occasion, I listen to “mainstream” music and legitimately enjoy it. I’m not playing favorites or turning a profit from this, I promise. Thanks!
