I send this drop out to all of you that still represent the lifestyle. There’s the cats like THIRSTIN’ HOWL III, RACK LO, JUST BLAZE, T.I. and KANYE that keep things front and center in the rap game and all of y’all true school heads that I used to go to war with over these colors. We still up in here. We still alive and we still living and breathing this Hip-Hop. That’s one of the reasons why I call this set my ‘LifeSavers’.
No matter what you stayed true to the game because you kept an eye on the past by respecting the architects and you keeps it funky with a twist on the new. Peep the wool trooper badge knit. So crisp because it’s been on ice for almost twenty years. It comes out the wrapper for photo ops and refolding. The trooper badge zip up jacket with stow away hood in the collar. So fresh and so clean-clean. This jacket is undeniable Bes Stuy Brooklyn Crown Heights classic. Lastly I made a pair of special edition Dunks in the ‘LifeSavers’ colorway. Holler at your boy if you want a pair built to spec from NIKE I.D. Baller bands, an extra set of racer blue laces and all-cotton ankle socks. Yes, it is serious like that.
Peace to the Walk-A-Thon. Peace to Albee Square. Peace to N.A. & Fulton. Peace to Union Square. Peace to Empire. Peace to Rooftop. Peace to Skate Key. Peace to Latin Quarter. Peace to Lord & Taylor. Peace to Bloomie’s (nahh, fuck Bloomies!) Peace to B.F.O. Peace to N.B.O. Y’all ain’t ready, and I can’t stop, ‘cuz I won’t stop. I am Hip-Hop.
them fucking socks is the super dumb-out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mos def need a pair!
^^ Word ’em up. I am giving away a pair of Dunks for the winner of the cRap Music Fantasy League
they’re cute.

^ ha
Wow! You brought up an old name.. Thirstin Howl III… I haven’t heard of him since he rapped about “Osama Spit Latin”….
Dallas:
Any chance that with all that Lo on, you’ll end up feeling like a billboard? Of course, if you are a Lo-Life, then it’s what you gotta do, right?
By the way, sneakers are nice, but until I saw the outfit, I couldn’t possibly have imagined that there would be a matching outfiit…I stand corrected…
^ a billboard?!? don’t get mad ‘cuz I’m stylin’ on you.
for cats that rock ‘LO its all about the lifestyle. the timeless quality and construction of the I.T.’s. Ralph Lauren products don’t even look as good any longer. I still rock ‘LO because it’s what I do, but the colorways and graphics from 1985-1993 are one of a kind.
Nice gear and I don’t mean to offend but I imagine if Ronald McDonald was going to do a driveby . . . Those clothes are what he would wear.
Since I am from Crown Heights…Midwood btwn Utica and Schenectady…I appreciate the props for the jacket being a true classic.
The nerd in me appreciates your quest. I never truly lived the LO lifestyle but when dudes rocked it back in the heyday….they were def so fresh and so clean.
Do you ever wear any of it or is it all in storage?
SNOW BEACH
Fire!!.
^”Since I am from Crown Heights…Midwood btwn Utica and Schenectady…”
Candice, you perpertrating the fraud? I thought that area was known as Flatbush. I’m from Crown Heights proper… Lincoln bet. Albany & Troy!!!
Combat…
That is not Flatbush. I am on the Utica Avenue Dollar van route.
Right near White Castle and across the street from the Old Boys High field.
That is still Crown Heights. Once you cross Linden, you are technically in East Flatbush.
The main thoroughfare through this neighborhood is Eastern Parkway, which divides the north and south sides of this neighborhood. Crown Heights is bounded by Washington Avenue (west), Atlantic Avenue (north) and Ralph Avenue (east), Clarkson Avenue (south).
For official reference^….I grew up in Marty Markowitz land. 🙂
^^Candice getting technical. The White Castle is def the border. CJ you are talking about Crown Heights on the Ocean Hill side, but yeah you are in Crown Heights for sure.
You want ground zero for Crown Heights you need to stand on the southwest corner of Eastern Parkway and Utica.
Candice, to answer your earlier question about wearing my collection. Hell yeah! I live for the winter too. I have 11-12 teddy bear sweaters and six of them are in the rotation as well as other vintage and graphic I.T.’s.
gangbusters…
plus I got the cal on me
AHHH dude im cryin right now …..the Lo is sick man …so u was a legendary LO head on the real ??….just fuckin rob the hell outta shit while wearin the dopest shit possible * bows down * …this post reminds me of Rebel’s collection from Brooklyn Basements , shit like this is not only nostalgic but it just give me a fuzzy feelin of a better time…..good looks man , but yea the dunks are dope in a simplistic way …just plain ol sick
Dayum girl! Yo, you ever been that jernt on Utica and like Crown with the spit out in the front makes the best effin Jerk Chicken EVAH!
cold.
Combat…that would be MacKenzie’s. It’s owned by my boy Trevor. LOL
They do make the best jerk chicken around.
And don’t front on a shrimp roti from Ali’s on that same side of Utica Ave.
That’s IT!!! I was gonna call it sumpthin like “Llloyd’s” or some other West Indian souning name. They keep the spit out fron 24/7 365, Winter Sping Summer & Fall!
Btw, what would u consider Midwood between Flatbush & Bedford? Amazing how many Cracker Jacks have moved in the ‘hood’ at such an alarming rate!
LOL @ Lloyd’s….HA HA
You are right though….They grill with snow on the ground. The Sauce is what makes it.
Midwood between Flatbush and Bedford is definitely in Flatbush. That’s over, closer to Erasmus High School.
Damn! Those Dunks are serious!!!!
cyatdag me needs a pair…
Peace to Midwood (Ocean Ave BIG UPS!) and Flatbush extended AND me getting jumped for Polo Knits.
Oh my god you don’t know how happy you just made a ton of people. C’mon homey, we gotta link to do a video doc…there’s more here. There’s more.
P-WINGS AND BETTER…
