SHOE-Topia did the damn thing this past weekend. The Verizon Center was accomodating and wide open for all the gathered sneaker fiends and hypebeasts to explore and peruse its concourse.

After the convention we sat damn near courtside and watched the Wizards struggle to a loss against the Cleveland Cavs featuring Uncle Drew disguised as MF Doom.

Take a look at my video recaps from the event and the grails I picked up.

I just added a new category that I’m filing all my gear acquisitions under: FRESH 2 DEBT

Word to mizz I was not supposed to copp shit this weekend after catching my second Macy’s bear knit, but like a moth drawn to the flame and then burned by the fire my love for the Lifestyle has an insatiable desire,

Why did I see my man 50 grand SuperBad MC Solace in Macy’s on Friday night? And why did he tell me that he has the cheat code? And why did the eagle sweater only cost $212 after tax (MSRP $365)

So then I pulled out some cashmere socks I’ve had on ice for a few years.

I’ll prA’Li rock wool bootsocks underneath these to add thickness, but as you can see I’m planning on going out in shorts a lot this winter just to prove my sox swag is undeFEETed.

I’ve emptied my bank account tho’ after paying my maointenance, light bill and lifestyle pieces, but I’m a horrible disgusting addict to this shit. I walk thru Macy’s on Main Street in Flushing just on the humble and I spot this knit cap from the Lake Placid Olympics series. Several years old on clearance for 65% off with the additional 25% off coupon.

The K-Swiss shield patch was another gift from Timeless Truth.

The sweater is heirloom quality. This will be a vainglorious outfit. Let’s see if I can raise some money to to somewhere wearing it. Fresh to debt indeed.

I’ll be going home for the holidays this year. Down to Atlanta to see me good ol’ mum. She didn’t throw me shade even tho’ I didn’t visit her during my stay for A3C but I knew she wasn’t happy with me. I’m hoping two weeks in December will make up for that slight back in October.

You already know how we do this…

This is the Macy*s yuppie bear sweater as my outfit’s centerpiece.

Before we get to the sweater let’s look at some of the other pieces in this ‘Fit like the equestrian trench I stole from Marshall’s. Well not stolen but a clearance comeup like a mother.

Levi’s 501s and the Timberland Water Otter Buck field boot. Nothing too flashy, just clean freshness.

I’m finally flourishing, but only slightly. This is the bear sweater from Macy’s. The design is still swagged the fux out but the RL.com bear has a crest on his blazer. I’ma need that one too. I mean two(2).

Salutes to high school. For most of us that will be the greatest experience of our lives. It was in Brooklyn Technical High School I developed my keen sense of swag.

I love to pull colors together from all walks of life.

The Lifestyle is all declarative with sashes and numerals all over.

Royal blue and yellow are my two favorite complementary colors. The blue is the steady sound while the yellow brings the pop.

Peep the Brazil series mundial de beisbol chapeau. Excuse my fake patois, that’s a New Era pro model for the Brazil state team in the Worlds Series.

The kicks are Air Jordan retro 5s in a colorway representing Michael Jordan’s alma mater Elmsley Laney high school in North Carolina. I needed these desperately along with the Shanghai 5s to fully express my blue/yellow outfit architecture.
