SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

Its almost that time! FTYA Sneaker Battle is almost here!

Event: “Frshr Than Your Avrge Sneaker Battle”
Date: Saturday May 12th, 2012
Time: 12 Noon to 5 PM
Place: Public Assembly – 70 North 6th St, Bklyn

About the Event:

Frshr Than Your Avrge is a BUY/SELL/TRADE event with a major twist. It’s also a Sneaker Battle where the contestants in the battle as well as the winner are selected solely by the crowd from a registered pool of contestants. There are three (3) judges for the event who will serve as watchdogs for the following criteria under which all battle participants are judged:

(1) Condition of your Kicks
(2) Knowledge of your Kicks
(3) How well you “Rocked” your kicks.

Grand Prize for the winner includes the coveted FTYA Trophy, NEW SNEAKERS, GIFT CERTIFICATES, CLOTHES, AND OF COURSE BRAGGING RIGHTS!

Contestants must pre-register their kicks in order to lock in their spot and prevent anyone else from registering the same pair of kicks. Anyone looking to participate should go here for all the information.

Addicted To The Lifestyle…

Monday, May 7th, 2012

I got the e-mail last week about a last chance sale on Polo.com and I tried to act like I wasn’t going to fux with it all. I avoided looking at the website up until yesterday (after I got another e-mail telling me the sale would end on Monday).

I really wasn’t pressed since I was starting to find these Modern Explorer pieces up in Marshall’s and I know Macy*s end of season sale is around the corner. But then I opened a link which had this Year of the Dragon flag posted up. I can’t NOT fux with scarves. I can’t.

The dragon scarf link pulled me into the link with this flight jacket and since the satin jackets are sold the fux out I figured I might as well get in while there’s still something to get got.

The flight jacket has some nifty details and a dragon print on the sleeve. BAM! They got me and I don’t even have the bread to spare right now. I guess the phone gonna have to get shut off for a couple of weeks? LMAO.

True story.

More London Games Lifestyle…

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

My Brit homey Mr.Blister sent me a kite telling me that the Olympics were in Londontown again after the 1924 Olympiad. The 1948 Summer Games was the return of the Olympics to England.

Knowing Ralph Lauren’s asPirations like I do I thought I’d look thru some of the flicks from the 1948 Olympics to see if he cribbed some of his graphic details from the outfits worn during that time.

Sure enough Ralph Lauren found inspiration from Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen’s (also known as ‘the Flying Housewife’) bib numbers.

The 1992 plates series is one of the indisputable GOATs for lifestyle collectors. The tee shirts, rugbys and button downs fetch several hundred dollars apiece. The windbreaker jackets are my favorites.
