Love & Loyalty On The Deuce…

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

If you told me twenty yrs ago that I would be friends on a first name basis with Lo-Lifes I would call you crazy. In the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn there had been so much blood, sweat and tears spilled over the acquisition of clothing it was senseless. It wasn’t simply the struggle to attain a fresh level of gear, but the real struggle was in keeping that clothing on your back.

The ‘Lo Goose On The Deuce’ event was a celebration of surviving those days and remaining fresh to this day.

That boy Krash made sure he repped the royalty along with the love and the loyalty. Hail Meg!

I fux with the homies ‘Fit right here.

Layers and layers of Artic Challenge I.T.s

AYAK brothers rocked the RLX

Super Bad MC Solace brought the sickest accoutrement with him. His lady, in the RLX parka. Niiiice.

My goggle swag was on a trillyonnnnnn.

Rack-LO is one of the LO-Life founders

The gathering moved from 42nd Street to the TKTS triangle in Times Square. Circle ski representatives were in full effect.

Now the event was starting. The competition was to see who had the freshest ‘Fit.

The two sickest outfits were worn by Bob-LO and his brother Bek-Live. Bob-LO rocked the official police badge skisuit with a K-Swiss knit underneath. That shit was tougher than leather.

Bek-Live killed it too by popping tags on a Descente outfit. What do you know about Descente? Bek-Live took me all the way back to the Scandinavian Ski Shop days. Bek-Live shut it down by rocking the OG Gucci joints with the red/green laces. This is how you do it.

It was dope to see decades of brotherhood and style combined into one. Next years’ event will be even sicker and larger. Peace to the LO-Lifes, my Decep brothers, the A-Team and ALL the kids who made the Deuce the most exciting and stylish place in New York city.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

I’m feeling the pressure to generate sneaker fiend web videos now that I’ve been given the honor of Complex magazines audience. There really isn’t anything on my radar to copp so I did a walk thru of one of my favorite ‘pickup-comeup’ spots in NYC.

Century21 is one of the places to fall thru for high end designer merchandise typically starting at half off MSRP. Everything in Century21 doesn’t get the hyper-discounted treatment, but if you don’t ever do a walk-thru you won’t even know what you are missing.

And knowing is half the battle. LOL

The 10 Best YouTube Sneaker Channels

WTF?!?! Complex Mag giving me a shout on one of their 10 Best lists is like giving me the cheatcode inside the game package. I. Can. Not. Lose!

Now all I gotta do is get back to making sneaker fiend videos. Be careful what you wish for Internets because you just might get it. Then what you gonna do with it? That’s the real question. What you gonna do with it?

F-U Dr.Jays! LOL

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

New Balance has been flying under my radar for the last few months by not being overhyped. I was doing my normal routine of surfing the web looking for the latest heat releasing and BONG! these NBs came across my eyeholes.

New Balance are already some of the most comfortable sneakers around, but when NB puts the premium suedes to their iconic silhouettes you now have a classic shoe. These New Balance 581 x 24 Kilates are available at Corporate.
