Living The Lifestyle…

The winter season is one of my favorite times for expressing the lifestyle to the fullest. Scarves, sweaters and knit caps must match each other.

I came up on this knit at the new Marshall’s on West 18th Street and 6th Ave (the former Filene’s Basement space).

The knit sweater is official, but I would be remiss if I didn’t copp the reindeer knit cap to rock with it.

I’m gawn innnnnnnnnn! (discount code at checkout: NOV0410)

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

justice league

I’m such a beast for the hype. As soon as someone sends me a link to a sneaker/comicbook tie-in I get all weak in the knees like SWV.

The re-visioned Huarache Trainer now has a ‘Super Friends’ aka ‘Justice League’ pack with three colorways.

We’ll assume that the blue/red colorway is for Superman. The hunter green/black should be called the Green Arrows, but maybe the neon accent on the outsole legitimizes Green Lantern. The shiny red joints are for the Flash.

I peeped these shoes in Niketown a week or two ago and I liked them but I wanted some play on the $115 pricepoint. I also didn’t have the motivation I have inside of me now that I know they have a comicbook relationship [ll]. Hype is a bitch.

I’ll justify my purchase by enjoying all the construction details the shoe. The Nike Lunarfoam platform makes these shoes feel almost weightless. And this is a good thing too because I am the opposite of weightless.

Good Wood NYC and vintage apparel dealer Coat Of Arms have collaborated on a detailed pin set called ‘Da Bears’ inspired by Polo Ralph Lauren’s teddy bear motifs.

And guess who was chosen to rep the ‘Lo lifestyle for the advert campaign?

NOT Young Dro or Vado, but the Silk Shirt Ambassador – Meyhem Lauren.

The Lifestyle In Real Life…

solace

My homey the super bad emcee Solace from Timeless Truth is a hardbody Lifestyler. There is a way to rock the lifestyle that isn’t simply about stunting, but also about respecting the environment that we live in and taking advantage of this life.

I fux with Solace [ll] because he actually wears his gear, unlike me where I have so much on ice that most fools think I only own one bear sweater (its more like twenty). When I posted the pics of that Polo Sport Great White Shark tee Solace hit me up and told me that it was one of his favorite I.T.s for rocking when you spend an afternoon at the aquarium in Coney Island.

Timeless Truth are the younger brothers I never knew I had. We even come from the same global position in NYC. Further proof the minds that vibe on the same frequency will find each other. We hear the same universal hum then we respond in kind to that cosmic cosine wave.

And yes, Nathan’s cheese fries >>>

I nabbed this I.Tee on the system the other day, now I just need to comeup on these Brian Clay Air Trainer 2010s.

I’m hoping that NikeTown still got the bedbug disco poppin’ off.

No Morehouse to bedbugs.
