Be A Champion…

I was digging thru some throwback flicks because I knew I’d find a pic of myself rocking a Champion reverse weave sweatshirt. Instead of finding my image I see the man, the myth and the legend, Ambush. Hail Meg!

Champion is one of a handful of brands I am forever loyal to. The construction of their reverse weave sweatshirt was legendary. The comfort of the item was undeniable. The other key to Champion was the fact they were UNDERBRANDED. They used a little embroidered ‘C’ on their tit and a smaller ‘C’ on the wrist.

I was introduced to a Champion rep last year at SneakerCON. I told him what I appreciated about the brand and he asked me to keep in touch with him. The wheels in the marketing game turn slowly, but as least they move surely in this instance. I got a box to the crib with some dopa ass Champion pieces. Let’s talk about them…

The camo print hoody has the crucial detail I needed to see and that would be the wrist with the ‘C’.

I like this classic track jacket for its simple and clean colorblocking.

The leather sleeved letterman varsity is the TRUTH!

A$AP Roky has an Iditarod Superboot collab about to pop off with Timberland. It looks like they are using a blonded nubuck leather. I just hope they are giving the upper the same elephant skin pebbled texture as the classic 40 Belows.

Yes, I’m riding for A$AP Rocky to win.

Obsessive Chapeau Disorder…

I like New Era ‘PRO MODEL’ caps as obsessively as I fux with everything else in my programme. I felt a sense of authenticity when I first started to rock ‘fitteds’. First of all, they was FITTED. Never tucking my ears into my cap like I was in pre-school. Shits were fitted. Why else we called them ‘fitteds’.

Then New Era started making them with 3-D logos. Blue Jays is the hardest 3-D logo cap. Then comes the Cleveland joint with bigface Chief Wahoo. The cap pictured above is the Boston Braves before their stop in Milwaukee and then on to Atlanta.

Shit look like my grandpa too.

Just Be Good To Her…

I had to drop another of C.S. favorite songs for her approaching new year.

Sometimes I forget how long she has been putting in work as my guiding light. She loves this jazz dude Greg Porter and this video was directed by one of my inspirations – Pierre Bennu.

I’m just caught up in a rapture of C.S. light right now.

How lucky am I?

Uh oh, you know what happens when I start making Kid Cudi fanboy clips? I go all hamm jenkins because I remember why my life is so dope. I’m on that journey, internets. A quest one might say.

I’m so happy that you are here with me. Shit is fun again, or maybe its the springtime giving me that buzz I need. Whatever the fux it is just chill with me fam.
