The chances this perp is rocking a pair of Nike is better odds than flipping a coin with the AirMax 95 coming in as the top shoe at British break-ins and burglaries.
The forensic cops are spotting the 95s distinctive footprint, but can you blame the criminals? I mean, the 95 has so many official colorways its difficult not to style on ’em hardbody while stealin’ nahmean?!?
When I talk to new heads about the Lifestyle I always have to mention eBay. It’s a good place for beginners to find starter pieces for their collections and if you get lucky you might even snatch a comeup or two.
Comeups are items that are posted by people who aren’t necessarily Polo Ralph Lauren collectors but they recognize the popularity of the brand so they post auctions featuring items associated with brand at reasonable opening bid prices. Take for instance this bear sweater I have pictured here…
The lifestylers call this a ‘Sit Down Teddy’ and the super lifestylers know that it is a cotton knit retro of the OG Sit Down from 1992 and the wool knit Sit Down from 1996. Whoever posted this item on the eBay system isn’t that informed, but they know that collectors cherish these sweaters so they have set the opening bid price at $600. That is OG money, not a fair bid price for a retro.
Here are a couple of bear coffee mugs.
You might imagine that my collection is filled with Polo Bear items? The answer would be hell yeah. I like these mugs and their opening bid price is fair at $8 bucks, but where I have to fall back on this auction is the shipping price. $10 for two mugs is a bit excessive in my book.
You have to monitor eBay for opening bid prices as well as shipping charges to determine if an item is going to be worth the cost but once you have that business all sorted out you can go hard – like Brooklyn.
House centipedes – These are the GOOD bedbugs…
Rebe Jackson – ‘Centipede’
Sometimes I miss the good ol’ bad New York City of my youth. This was the New York City where the subways were filled graffiti and not some bullshit where the MTA lets corporations wrap trains top to bottom with paid advertisements.
This latest incarnation of New York City is acting pretty bitchmade if you ask me. Maybe it was all that Disney shit filling up Times Square and chasing away the hookers and closing the arcades. It’s definitely not sexy to see all this anti-Islam fervor being generated over a community center, but the blind fear people are circulating over bed bugs might be the worst thing yet.
The damn things are so small they can barely be detected and if you also have house centipedes they will eat the bed bugs so your problem solved. If people want to fear something they should worry about all the vermin feces they inhale everytime a subway car wrapped with advertisements blows into their station.
Truth be told is that I’m hoping on cashing in on the bed bug hysteria in my own little way. Niketown has reported an infestation in their store’s stockroom. Hopefully they will be discounting some AirMax 2009 to the low low. I’ll be there to pick up those pieces.
I caught a glimpse of my personal Polo Ralph Lauren holy grail I.T.
The Tigerhead Leathersleeve Letterman jacket.
I used to politic online with a dude who had put the jacket up for auction on ‘the system’ (eBay), but then refused to sell it to me because the bidding never exceeded $250. I wanted the I.T. so bad I told the dude I would give him $350 but even then he balked. Sonn wanted five bills. I suppose I should have just given him the bread at the time because here it is almost ten years later and I still don’t have the jacket.
It popped up twice recently on the system, but both jackets have been men’s size Large. In that vintage I can still rock an XL, but a Large just looks silly of me as if I like fishsticks. The jacket is detailed so mean and beautiful. Peep the leather trim on the pockets. The simple clean scripted logo on the left breast is reminiscent of baseball club design. The quilted satin lining is just like they do at all the finer universities.
The big tigerhead on the back is where this I.T. really shines. Also peep the leather on the backside of the collar for those of us who know how to get our Arturo Fonzarelli poppin’ off. I have only two words for this jacket… Class and sick.
Hide the women and children if I ever get this joint in an XL.
My red and black apparel program is just sickness from the start. Shouts to theshoegame.com
I would have to rock the Agassi’s tho’ because that is just the tennis shoe type style I would want to express with this jacket.
But I could be convinced to go Air Jordan VI black and varsity red just for those who have a hard time understanding how 1992 my vision is.
We Major!

You can best believe I’ll be in line when the adidas x Star Wars ‘Boba Fett’ ZX’s drop.
