Hypebeast Eats takes us to the city of New York for a simple yet delectable dish — the Classic Beef Meatball Hero Sandwich by the one and only Meatball Shop NYC. Joined by Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow, the two high school friends explain how they set out to differentiate themselves from the sea of pizza, shawarma and burger joints in the bustling city. What started out as the two selling meatballs from a building’s side window has now spawned four restaurants (soon to be five), which roughly amounts to 6,000 meatballs on the daily. Be warned though, this video is best not viewed on an empty stomach. Enjoy.

Stripped down can be damn sexy. In a single sentence, that’s how the new Star Bolt and Bolt R-Spec entries into the bobber motorcycle niche feel, and are hoping you will, too. Yamaha (Star’s parent company) intends this bike to be a no-frills city hopper and commuter. Does it succeed? We recently had the opportunity for some quality ride time on both of these bikes to find out. [See & Read More]

Going on camera, Weezy talks about his relationship with Supra who has been an ardent supporter of the rapper as well as footage from the launch of the diffusion label that recently took place in Miami.

In February 2012, just one month before signing a six-year, $100 million contract with the Buffalo Bills, NFL defensive end Mario Williams asked his girlfriend Erin Marzouki to marry him. He did so by giving her a stunning 10-carat diamond engagement ring worth almost $800,000. But when their relationship fell apart a short time later, the couple decided to call the wedding off. They also ran into a problem: They both wanted the engagement ring. Marzouki kept it initially. But now, Williams is suing his former fiancée for $785,000. [Read More]

It’s clear that LeBron James has had a decorated history as a player, as underlined by his latest award: the 2012-2013 Most Valuable Player award – immortalized by Nike in the form of a crazy pair of King James’ signature kicks. The trophy is his fourth in five years, a feat only accomplished by Bill Russell in his day. The hype surrounding James is in many ways warranted, yet it seems that for as long as the 28-year-old has been in the league, he’s had just as many critics as he has accolades. The NBA has released a video retrospective of James’ career thus far, which gives viewers a somewhat complete look at the road the young player has paved for himself – a road undoubtedly deserving of respect.
