Meyhem In Brooklyn…

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Meyhem Lauren and his Outdoorsmen brother AG da Coroner touched down at the Mishka store in Bushwick to drop a few raps on the people.

Meyhem Lauren is looking real Hulkish lately.

Don’t let me say that been I told you so.

Respect The Fly Shit still spinning in my iTunes.

Outfit Architecture…

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

I’ve been waiting to post this ‘Fit but I had to make sure my footings were rock solid first. This outfit was being built ever since I visited mom dukes in the ‘A’ way back in the spring. I didn’t copp any of the components back then but I started up my aspirations.

The electrolime Foamposites were released that weekend and I couldn’t get my hands on them. The dude from FootLocker who always sends me e-mails to post his press releases on my site wouldn’t reply to me. Atlanta sneaker shops carrying the Foamposites are so few and far between that I couldn’t make a connect. I was stuck, but still I had my aspirations.

RLX been on some shit since 2010 but I haven’t embraced the designs since I didn’t think I could make the transition in my life to getting back into ‘athletically aspirational apparel’. LOL. The kid been strictly casual, but I was wanting to be motivated to get fit.

I decided to get this ‘Fit starting with the Foams (which incidentally were the last I.T. copped).

The shorts are blue label from the Modern Explorer series. Marshall’s had these early in the spring for $40 and I opted not to wait on these to hit the clearance markdown. They wouldn’t have made it there. The tee is from an assist from the homey Krash One who told me not to fux with UniQlo since I wouldn’t be able to squeeze into their shit anyhoo.

Good looks Krash, Hail Meg.

The jacket is similar to the Whitewater series ‘Yosemite’ windbreaker we featured on this page previously.

The jacket’s technical superiority is unmatched. Bloomingdale’s pricepoints for these RLX pieces was unfuxwittable.

My favorite I.T. within this ‘Fit was the lining layer sweatshirt. It’s made with a sick soft brushed cotton and all kinds of strings and pulleys to keep me busy.

Bloomingdale’s dropped the price down to $35 so you already know the kid was copping one to rock, and one to stock in the dP Lifestyle Archive.

Lastly, shouts to the people at Poleberg.com for gifting me this custom licensed New Era fitted. The cap is made from this tightwoven canvas which is lighter than the wool caps and even water-resistant. Perfect for a rainy autumn afternoon.

This is how I does my lifestyle hardbody. Thanks for tuning in Internets.

Newmanati Goes Shoeminati…

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

The KixPo sneaker and streetwear convention was amazing. Firstly, I met some friends from the TWitterverse. Secondly, I stepped on the field that the Dallas Cowboys play football on. The stadium is an undeniable cathedral to sports and entertainment. Sure, the people of Arlington and getting shellacked with taxes to maintain the spaceship, but damn it was glorious.

I put on my 2012 Year Of The Dragon Air Jordans. I’ve loved them ever since I got my hand on them. I popped tags on a Polo RL Modern Explorer knit with a dragon screen print.

I put on a compression sleeve on my right arm with the knowledge that my arm would fatigue from holding the handycam all day filming Sean Price shenanigans. I also donned a layer of DRI-fit cotton between my fine Polo wares and my undershirt sweat collection system. Texas was hotter than Hades. I don’t know how heads keep their icy sole kicks from melting in that heat.

I used the medium elevation insoles in my Air Jordan system. I also rocked a nice little G-Shock I picked up this week.

It took me several hours to upload my video footage from the day. I’ll post that recap video along with some video treats from Sean P later this week. Stay logged on to DP.com and keep those kicks crispy.

Oh and yeah, sneaker fiends… Holler at me for your custom Sneaker Fiends Unite! buttons via the Houston homey Waio713. I call this required summer swag.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

KixPo is going down tomorrow and I CAN NOT WAIT to walk on the field at Cowboys Stadium. This is prA’Li one of the top five things I’ve dreamed about in my life, including marrying Vanessa Williams, becoming an X-Man, having all my Polo pieces from 87-92 in a size 3XL and owning an Abrams tank as my personal car.

I’m already laying out the blueprint…

The New Era cap tops off this ‘fit perfectly.

If you are going to be in Dallas and you need my cell number leave a comment. Jerz, I see you.
