Outfit Architecture…

What you have learned from this site if nothing else is that your swag must be comprehensive and not limited to just one area. It takes time and patience to build a perfect ‘Fit.

I copped the Air Max 2011 with my final TheBVX.com check. Thanks to the folks over there for letting me rock on that page and bring some of my audience to their site.

I’ve been an Air Max junkie from the very beginning and I follow the evolution of the shoe throughout (except for the 97s).

I smashed this hoody from the Dr.Jays store on 34th Street. You can’t go wrong with Nike neon since they insert that colorway onto almost everything they manufacture.

A Nike Sportswear tennis knit and a basic ‘Just Do It’ underlayer tee will be how I keep this ‘Fit clean and crisp.

The Air Max 2011 is the lightest version of the Air Max series. This is due to the Hyperfuse upper which is a flexible synthetic skin over a mesh sockliner. The Air Max 2009 airbag reigns supreme as the most evolved air platform.

Air Max for the win.

Air Max for life.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

batman

Even the awesome superhero power of my ‘Batman’ Dunks couldn’t help me copp a pair of the red ?uestlove Dunks at the release party in the Nike Sportswear store in SoHo.

Still and all I had a good time chatting up some of the folks that come out for these hyped up releases. Without hypebeasts sneaker culture wouldn’t be as fun as it is for me.

I’m not even mad I didn’t get to copp because I’m way more into the comeup anyhoo. Speaking of comeups, there’s a Sneaker Fiends Unite! tour scheduled for Saturday March 19th which will conclude at SneakerCon. If you’re interested in joining the crew just holler.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

superboots

The boots above are part of the World Hiker series. They are super boots. Meaning they are some of the most intensive shoes you can wear. They are Gore-Tex lined and capable of withstanding temperatures down to 60 degrees below zero celsius. These boots don’t bullshit. I don’t wear mine too often because I’ve grown out of them, but I have several World Hikers that I still rock and two pairs that were handmade in Italy.

The following video features one of those Italian made Timberland World Hikers. This will be the final Boot Camp Clique Chronicles video for the winter season. I’d like to pick the series up again for the spring and summer if you folks are still interested. Let me know and keep sending me pics of your favorite boots.

FAB5 4EVAR..

fab 5

The Fab 5 freshmen from the University of Michigan Wolverines forever altered the landscape of college basketball without even winning a national championship. Their impact was that great.

Not only did this group impact the way we view college athletics as a commercial enterprise but the scandals that have arisen from the recruitment of these players still hangs over Michigan’s basketball program.

On Sunday March 13th, ESPN Films will premiere a documentary about these five teammates and the story about their time as Wolverines. The doc is definitely going to be personal and real because it is being exec produced by Jalen Rose, one of the members of the Fab 5. Make sure you tune into ESPN for this special presentation.
