Outfit Architecture…

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

I’ve been waiting to post this ‘Fit but I had to make sure my footings were rock solid first. This outfit was being built ever since I visited mom dukes in the ‘A’ way back in the spring. I didn’t copp any of the components back then but I started up my aspirations.

The electrolime Foamposites were released that weekend and I couldn’t get my hands on them. The dude from FootLocker who always sends me e-mails to post his press releases on my site wouldn’t reply to me. Atlanta sneaker shops carrying the Foamposites are so few and far between that I couldn’t make a connect. I was stuck, but still I had my aspirations.

RLX been on some shit since 2010 but I haven’t embraced the designs since I didn’t think I could make the transition in my life to getting back into ‘athletically aspirational apparel’. LOL. The kid been strictly casual, but I was wanting to be motivated to get fit.

I decided to get this ‘Fit starting with the Foams (which incidentally were the last I.T. copped).

The shorts are blue label from the Modern Explorer series. Marshall’s had these early in the spring for $40 and I opted not to wait on these to hit the clearance markdown. They wouldn’t have made it there. The tee is from an assist from the homey Krash One who told me not to fux with UniQlo since I wouldn’t be able to squeeze into their shit anyhoo.

Good looks Krash, Hail Meg.

The jacket is similar to the Whitewater series ‘Yosemite’ windbreaker we featured on this page previously.

The jacket’s technical superiority is unmatched. Bloomingdale’s pricepoints for these RLX pieces was unfuxwittable.

My favorite I.T. within this ‘Fit was the lining layer sweatshirt. It’s made with a sick soft brushed cotton and all kinds of strings and pulleys to keep me busy.

Bloomingdale’s dropped the price down to $35 so you already know the kid was copping one to rock, and one to stock in the dP Lifestyle Archive.

Lastly, shouts to the people at Poleberg.com for gifting me this custom licensed New Era fitted. The cap is made from this tightwoven canvas which is lighter than the wool caps and even water-resistant. Perfect for a rainy autumn afternoon.

This is how I does my lifestyle hardbody. Thanks for tuning in Internets.

My family from Beatric Films came to NYC and spent some time with the kid. I imparted them with some of that classic dP street swag and cuffing season secrets.

The Str8 Path Is The Road To Success…

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

I’ve been swagging around NYC wearing the necklace pictured above. It was a gift from the homey Straight Path Jewlz. I’m honored and blessed that he found me and chose to share these jewlz with me.

Here’s a little bio from SPJ about his mission. Listen…

My name is Nasir Nolan. I am the owner, designer, and creator of Straight Path Jewlz. I started Straight Path Jewlz a little over 4 years ago. Originally I was looking for something to wear that represented the changes that were occurring in my life and the lifestyle I was living. Through a lot of hard work, trial and error, and learning from others, I now have a line of beautifully handcrafted, one of a kind, blown glass beaded pendants. Straight Path Jewlz are unlike anything else out there – in appearance and in the positivity of the messages they carry. The “JEWLZ” not only represent my pieces, but JEWLZ of knowledge, experience, strength, and hope that we can all share with one other.

My goal is to Create Art with the purpose of making positivity fashionable. I create beautifully handcrafted, one of a kind, blown glass beaded pendants that are inspired by all mediums of creative expression, like music, poetry, art, film and fashion. I have been very fortunate to share and make custom pieces for a lot of my favorite artists who inspire me through there creative spirit

I’d like to thank all of the artists, fans, friends and family for their support and feedback. Spreading the message of “Creating Art with the Purpose of making Positivity Fashionable” has not been as hard as I thought it would be!! With so much Negativity out there, it is truly an amazing process to watch people naturally gravitate towards the Positivity reflected in Straight Path Jewlz!!

All pendants can be custom beaded in color schemes that meet your specifications. Right now all pieces are custom made-to-order. If you are interested in distinctive, custom crafted pieces, please contact me with the color scheme and image you would like in your pendant. Inshallah ﷲ(God-willing), we will make it happen!
