Dallas And The Timberland Showroom…

Going into the Timberland NYC offices was like Charlie getting that golden ticket into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. There weren’t any Oompa Loompas tho’. But I saw a side of Timberland that I had only imagined up to that point. I’ve been following this brand for over twenty five years and this visit was their acknowledgment of that fact. You already know it all culminated with the ‘Thank You’ gift of the 2013 Iditarod Superboot.

Timberland’s entire product line is placed throughut the offices. The Earthkeepers products (Timberland’s basic line) along with the Abington, PRO and Timberland Boot Company brands.

I held some of the samples for next year’s styles. I wanted one of everything in the office. You do know I’m a hypebeast right?

For all my Lifestylers, it was like peeping the future lineup of PRL blue label, black label, purple label, D & S and RLX all in one day.

Mind. Effin. BLOWN!

Y’all need to stop sleeping on this urban hiker called the Intervale Mid. Sure it has European styling but the 3/4 height makes it look tough with shorts or jeans. Timberland reduced this boot to $80 for Columbus Day weekend with an additional 30% off. I’m mad tight they don’t have any size 12s left.

The next goal on my path is to design a boot. To spec out all the materials and the hardware for a classic style.

Designing a 6″ Field Boot is the next step for the Godd Bootgod to travel to. An all leather 6″ Field Boot?! With butter soft leather on the collar and tongue. Maybe even a gumsole? FIYAHVERKXXX!!!

KING PUSH…

pusha-t2

I don’t think I’m gonna open another rap album this year until Roc Marciano drops his production compilation. The Pusha T album is like Yeezus beats with real rapping over them. Shit is fantastico. This album made me shut down the Cam’Ron mixtape completely.

My Name Is My Name isn’t really a debut album since Pusha is quite the veteran in rap circles, still that’s how it will read in the books so I’m happy dude gets a home run for his first at bat. Pusha T is the 2013 Rickey Henderson of rap. He’s the best leadoff scorer in the game.

Ralph Lauren really put in work with the Modern Explorer series from a couple of years ago. So much that the series is returning with all new pieces for the Fall/Winter ’13 season.

As you might would expect there are some fire I.T.’s in this run. Along with the 2013 Holiday series there’ll be several ‘Must Cop’ joints for your archives. I’ve pulled down a few…

Short sleeve ruggedness. I buy s/s knits in the wintertime so I can rock them with a thermal or henley shirt underneath.

I have been OD with the native American motifs for a minute but I also can immediately think of a murderous ‘fit with this shawl collar knit as the centerpiece

This eagle chest knit goes so hard in the paint especially when you pull out the hood on fools. I’m calling this item a ‘Must Cop’.

I also FUX with this rugby hardbody. I love the colorblocking and the flag patch on the back is John Blaze, or should I say, Just Blaze.
