Lifestyle Comeups…

What might appear to be a basic zip-up sweater vest is really some shit I’ve had on ice because it was EXCLUSY. A cashmere zip cardigan vest from the founder’s Collection. This is the type shit you wear to go see your mom.
Saying that makes me miss my mom. She put me up on Filene’s Basement when she was teaching at Francis Lewis HS in Fresh Meadows. Filene’s Basement in Fresh Meadows just shuttered their doors. SYMS is on their way out too.
Even tho’ my classic comeup spots close (R.I.P. BFO) I still keep finding the lifestyle I need to maintain my life’s style

He is the last Don.
Don Cornelius and his production ‘Soul Train’ is an indelible part of my life. Before music videos were being produced it was ‘Soul Train’ which featured the artists and the styles that would come to represent Black people and our presentation of American culture and lifestyle.
There aren’t any words to say to express my gratitude for Don Cornelius giving this filmreel to me and the rest of the world.
Thank you sir.
Outfit Architecture…

This is how I end up going on missions to acquire kicks and other elements to accentuate my swag repertoire. Just a simple encounter with Bek Live on the Deuce reminded me that there are so many other brands which deserve my dollar loyalty for their legacy of creating well made apparel.
The Descente brand has long been a sportsmens favorite for their biking gear and their ski wear. I picked up this ski jacket over the weekend off the eBay system for only $25 bucks and FREE shipping.
The aquamarine and royal purple hits reminded me of the Air Jordan VIII ‘Aquas’ that I had more than twenty years ago. I looked them up on eBay and the prices weren’t too enticing at about $300 for the retros issued five of so years ago.
Nike’s Jordan Brand division has just done a re-boot (you see what I just did?) of the VIII style called the 8.0 and they even have an ‘Aqua’ inspired colorway. The fact that these shoes are just sitting on shelves collecting dust means that by next winter I’ll have at least two elements to my ‘Aquaman’ outfit.
Now I need to find a ‘LO sweater which ties this whole thing together.
Something in royal purple…
