Polo Ralph Lauren’s vintage appeal is about to come full circle from the brand itself. PRL recognizes the value in retrofitting the hardbody collectors with classic designs. But PRL likes to add a twist to their legendary looks.

The new River Rapids polos are Custom-Fit short sleeve knits

The closer we get to the retro release of the 40 Below Superboot for Timberland’s 40th anniversary the more hype I get. I had to pull out a pair of classic Superboots just to reminisce on how tough these shoes really are.

Do you see that elephant skin leather? Timberland was doing elephant skin was before Nike put the print on a pair of Air Jordans. Do the knowledge los Internetos.

These leather on these boots is so official I had to have them resoled as opposed to asking Timb to replace them when the foam midsole failed.

Just Blaze shut down the ‘LO-End Theory on so many levels.

Just rocked the legendary Suicide ski goose. Then Just played a mini-set in which he brought Freeway out to the stage. Just Blaze literally broke the Highline Ballroom soundsystem.

Even my man 50 grand Eskay came thru and repped lovely. Not too many heads know that NahRight really gets down for the Polo crown. I knew it way back when at Combat Jack’s book party he was all Sportsman down.

An ultra crispy Snow Beach and some Ski’92 flavors on deck.

Shouts to Jordan Brand for lacing me with a pair of Melo M9s and the retro IV BReds which I issued to the folks in the audience who repped the Lifestyle to the fullest. It was funtimes.

I thought my Yachtsman jacket was fresh but my man killed it with his vintage ’93 I.T. with leather appointments and the lobster clasps.

The first ever ‘LO-End Theory popped off so crazy this past weekend. Here are some pictures from the event. Shouts to my man my Melo on the lens

Before I left Chocolate Snowflake’s crib she flicked me up in all my glory. This was my ‘Fit for the ‘LO-End Theory Inauguration.

I too sing America.

Ocean Challenge I.T.’s abound. The oldest items were the Polo Sport ‘USA’ socks and the Polo Sport thermals which were twenty years old. I popped a tag on those jawns. Cashmere socks, silk ski scarf, shawl collar flag knit. You can see the kid was in full celebration with regatta regalia.

My nickname for this ‘Fit was Futuristic Ninja Yachtsman.
