This is what I do this shit for. To stay fresh and fly.

I’m copping these metallic red Blackstronauts tomorrow night at FootLocker on 34th Street. Holler back when you see me in these streets.

Lifestyle Comeups…

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

What might appear to be a basic zip-up sweater vest is really some shit I’ve had on ice because it was EXCLUSY. A cashmere zip cardigan vest from the founder’s Collection. This is the type shit you wear to go see your mom.

Saying that makes me miss my mom. She put me up on Filene’s Basement when she was teaching at Francis Lewis HS in Fresh Meadows. Filene’s Basement in Fresh Meadows just shuttered their doors. SYMS is on their way out too.

Even tho’ my classic comeup spots close (R.I.P. BFO) I still keep finding the lifestyle I need to maintain my life’s style

Outfit Architecture…

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

This is how I end up going on missions to acquire kicks and other elements to accentuate my swag repertoire. Just a simple encounter with Bek Live on the Deuce reminded me that there are so many other brands which deserve my dollar loyalty for their legacy of creating well made apparel.

The Descente brand has long been a sportsmens favorite for their biking gear and their ski wear. I picked up this ski jacket over the weekend off the eBay system for only $25 bucks and FREE shipping.

The aquamarine and royal purple hits reminded me of the Air Jordan VIII ‘Aquas’ that I had more than twenty years ago. I looked them up on eBay and the prices weren’t too enticing at about $300 for the retros issued five of so years ago.

Nike’s Jordan Brand division has just done a re-boot (you see what I just did?) of the VIII style called the 8.0 and they even have an ‘Aqua’ inspired colorway. The fact that these shoes are just sitting on shelves collecting dust means that by next winter I’ll have at least two elements to my ‘Aquaman’ outfit.

Now I need to find a ‘LO sweater which ties this whole thing together.

Something in royal purple…
