Silk Scarf Lifestyle…

Monday, December 5th, 2011

I liked Polo a lot better when nobody was really all that into it. This is one of the high points where even the accessories are going for top dollar on the eBay system.

The silk scarf pictured above had an ending bid price of over $100 and this isn’t even that ill of an I.T.

That’s pretty dramatic to see considering how I used to win these types of auctions for under $20 on the regulack. I was prepared to pony up (see what I just did?) $60 for this scarf since that is what I paid for this one in September.

Now I’m gonna have to kiss those days goodbye.

Peep the fly shit

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Every year Nike gives the LeBron James signature shoes a nod to the city where he is playing basketball. Last year’s South Beach shoe is still a hypebeast classic. This year the shoes are a bit toned down as they reflect the colorway of the perennial college football powerhouse, the Miami Hurricanes.

The LeBron James shoe is supposed to be the highest performance level of basketball shoes that Nike produces since they are for the best player in the game right now. I understand that’s a debatable point but we’ll save that argument for an NBA thread.

The LBJ 9 is even sleeker than last years silhouette. His shoes have been getting less bulky since the 7. Now they look like MMA training x boxing shoes. The 9s bring back a full length airbag and an even deeper sculpt around the ankles and achilles points.

The detail which excited me for these shoes the most however is the carbon-fiber plate arch support shown on the instep photo.

I’m gonna need to visit FootLocker to get a feel for the weight of these shoes.

The LeBron 9 might have to end up under my tree for Kicksmas.

TrailBlazing Lifestyle…

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

JustBlaze says he isn’t a competitive dude which means that he only plays to win. He started TWitting his lifestyle archives and went a little O.D. on me. I was hanging on for dear life after seeing some of these I.T.’s.

I’ll dig out some joints this week to submit to the thread just to show I’m no slouch on the couch in this game, but JustBlaze is definitely the pointguard up in this shit. Here’s just a peek at some of this dude’s collection…

It really all got started when Just posted a picture of one of his dogs layed out on an $1800 blanket scarf. Then he posted a pic of his other dog laying on the legendary ‘cashmere Bear’ knit. LMAO

The rodeo knit from 1989 is another legendary I.T. that I had not seen previously I had only heard people make mention of.

Cashmere Italian ski man is fiyahverks. I only have the hat :-/

The supersize crest is another heirloom piece. These joints are extra rare at this point because Polo RL almost never retros their designs.

This isn’t simply another sweater but an unreleased sample. being a true conniesuer means going to the ‘nother level to make acquisitions no one else would consider or be able to connect to.

The Ski ’92 jacket is prA’li the hardest graphic ever placed on apparel. RL racer red has been my favorite color along with the royal blue and yellow ever since Polo put them on ski jackets. This jacket takes the cake.

What do I need to tell you about this piece? If you have eyes then you should already know.

Now I’m speechless… SnowBeach pullover with ColdWave pants and Nike Bespoke Air Force 1s. This is supreme outfit architecture and I know he even has the SnowBeach hat in the stash too.

JustBlaze gets the official crest on his lifestyle collection.

“They lovin’ the crewwwwwwwww”

Here’s a video featuring some sweater vest swag from Timberland. I go so hard for the boots sometimes I have to remember to switch up my pitch and smooth shit down.

Cyber Monday Lifestyle…

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

I had to keep my Cyber Monday pickups simple since I already blew my grip on the Duncan Foamposites. Not to worry tho’ because it’s been reported that people clicked their way to more than $1.3 BILLION dollars in sales. What kind of recession is this country in again?

I hope most Americans aren’t like me tho’ because I decided to forego paying my cellphone bill to put my hat in the ring for Cyber Monday. Lol, and I mean ‘hat in the ring’ literally. Nothing makes me happy like a funky little knit ski cap and this joint is the fiyahwerkx.
