The Kid Griffey always had fire shoes even if he never got his ‘chipwich.
The key to Outfit Architecture are your footings (foundation) and your roofing. I’m gonna build this ‘fit around the baby blue, blacks and grey on these Griffey Max. Heaven help me to find some 3M Scotchlite apparel to add on to this shit.
This is my life…
Outfit Architecture isn’t just about putting your clothes together with footwear and accessories. It’s about understanding your relationship as to how you represent yourself to others. Strangers and like minds alike.
One of my National Football League heroes was named Ernie Barnes (RIP). As an offensive lineman he protected Jack Kemp while he was a quarterback for the San Diego Chargers.
As a fine artist he was the author for some of the most enduring and expressive paintings I have ever seen.
You must have surely seen his painting ‘Sugar Shack’ which was used os a cover for a Marvin Gaye album as well as part of the set for the television show ‘Good Times’.
Even tho’ I wasn’t in that portrait I feel in my soul that I know the place Barnes was describing. I can smell the hot-buttered soul sweat steaming up that juke joint. I’ve done those dances before in my life. Ernie Barnes got soul.
And I got sole. I copped this Ernie Barnes throwback jersey to rock with my Air Jordan powder blue North Carolina 2012s.
The irony is that because UNC was segregated at the time Ernie Barnes was an All-American high school athlete he couldn’t attend the school. Barnes ended up on full scholarship at the HBCU North Carolina Central.
Respect the architects always my Internets. Whether you realize it or not we do this life thanks to them.
On deck to get rocked before the summer expires is this outfit featuring World Baseball Classic pieces over the lifestyle camo trunks and Nike Dunks.
I’ve got the Venezuela fitted and some burgundy long socks somewhere in the archive. I’ll definitely flick this up for dP.com and Instagram viewership. Who’s fuxin’ with this ‘Fit str8 out the favelas?
My scarf game has been getting wild shine due to the Combat Jack Show ComplexTV project. I’m happy that dudes are now hip to the Polo scarf swag possibilities. It used to be only me and Dirty Jerz who could politick on this shit.
I welcome everyone new to the Lifestyle. Get in where you fit in, and always play to win
The return of Combat Jack and myself to the Artie Lange TV show was to help Artie’s oft-maligned cast member Mike B get a quick swag shapeup in preparation for going to the Jay-Z/Justin Timberlake concert at Yankee Stadium.
Mike B definitely belongs in the fingerbang HOF [ll].
