In a few weeks the US Olympics team will be in Vancouver going for the gold in the Winter Olympiad. Polo Ralph Lauren will be outfitting the US athletes in some dope lifestyle I.T.’s while Polo drops some pieces that commemorate the past Olympiads and winter sports.
I might have to pull out one of my vintage slalom ski sweaters with the full length arm pads or I could just come up on this crisp hoody. I think it has a USA spell out on the backside too.
WHOA! This Lake Placid hoody is murderous material. Every season Polo releases a piece that is heirloom collector quality. This is one of those I.T.’s.
Seeing that hoody on your computer doesn’t do it the proper justice. You need to peep that joint in person.
This is the one winter piece I am most excited for because I have the matching sweater in my archives.

“Dayyyyum, these Nets sux!”
What a piss poor franchise the Nets have become. The Kentucky Wildcats, Kansas Jayhawks, Texas Longhorns and a host of NCAA Division-1 teams would pwn these losers. And this is the franchise that they want to relocate to Brooklyn?
The Brooklyn deal is reportedly short some bucks right now, but supposedly this Russian dude with wild billions is gonna save the project.
I vote ‘NYET’ to Moscow on Atlantic Avenue. If the developer Bruce Ratner were a smart man he would simply nix the arena deal put some other shit in that empty space. Maybe Wal-Mart? Maybe affordable office space? Brooklyn certain has enough places to shop. What the boro needs is places for her residents to work and be trained with skills that would allow people to work on their own shit. If there is a place in New York where the hipster ideal has proven to be a sustainable way of life Brooklyn is the place.
Hopefully then Mayor Bloomberg and Jay-Z won’t have to take silly pictures holding those crappy jerseys and simply allow the Nyets to remain playing their home games in crappy New Jersey.
You know what I just thought of? If Mayor Bloomberg and Jay-Z formed a rap group they could call themselves the B-Jayz [ll].

Editor’s Note: This drop is a rewind from the O.G. ‘LO-End Theory (2010)
What is worse than wearing CHAPS? Wearing some knockoff ‘Lo shit like Beverly Hills Polo Association. The knockoffs just undermine everything we have tried establish about the lifestyle. Don’t let the patches, embroidery or colorblocking fool you. Bahndoolou is bahndoolou. Ricky Rothchild is the latest brand to attempt to swagger jack the lifestyle wholesale.

Styles P featuring Jadakiss and Junior Reid – ‘Invasion’
Styles P is the last of a dying breed. In five years will there be anyone rapping like this? The underground rap scene is being transformed by dance music and single white females (those are the new rappers). Enjoy this boom bap dinosaur rap while it still breathes.
Last night my peoples at Obsessive Sneaker Disorder put together another classic podcast. Amsterdam sportswear designer Patta came on the show to talk about the recent Nike x Patta collabos that have hit the streets. I’m partial to these Air Max 1s in the hydro green colorway. These joints are smoking.
You do know what the official plant of Amsterdam is right?
