The Addict Comes Out Of The Closet…

Extra nullus to that headline…

You have seen my proclivity for POLO and NIKE Air Max but I don’t think I have shown you how serious shit can really get. When you are a representative for the classic streetwear lifestyle you have to touch all the bases just to show the kids how it’s done properly. If the weather had been warmer this past weekend I was gonna hurt the streets with a dandy little Easter outfit.

Pictured below is a pair of Easter Egg Air Max 180 along with a cotton mesh POLO knit top and a pair of NIKE Dri-Fit knit socks. I also prah’lee would have popped the tags on a pair of Levis that I caught on clearance at Marshalls ($7.00 bitches!).

I.T.'s

The outfit is sharp and clean but I needed a chapeau to top off this setup properly. Real men should always wear a hat on the first day of the week anyhoo in deference to AUM, the bringer of life. I know I wanted a fitted cap to spice this look and I knew where I had to go to copp the right one.

RICHIE’s on Delancey Street is one of the holdover sneaker and streetwear emporiums from the real days of the L.E.S. There are so many sneaker boutiques in the area now, but RICHIE’s keeps it realer than most. On a good day you can catch some Dunks up in there for forty or even thirty cent. And since they are part of that classic Delancey Street network you can politic your prices with the manager. If I am copping two I.T.’s you best believe I am getting some money knocked off top. That’s one of the main reasons I loved shopping in Paris. Middle East cats love to haggle over price and since I am Hebrew that shit is in my bloodline.

RICHIE’s has more fitted caps than the New Era store and his prices are way better. Amidst the flood of Yankee caps I find the joint that I am going to fucks with on my setup. Lucky for me RICHIE’s is having a sale and the joint is only $10 cent.

Aww shit y’all! Holler at a clean azz, dandy azz nigga when you see him on the streets.

    Yellow is too hot of a color to match with these days, it should be the color for spring heading into fall I think in terms of color coordinating your suit. I’ll be rockin the robin’s egg blue and some paaaale yellows coming up and can always get rocked with a variety of khakis.

    PS – thanks for the words Dallas (http://nerditry.com/?p=7)

    OK man… See we’re just gonna have to style on cats once this weather starts ackin’ right. Props on sitting on the Easters until their due time. I’m gonna have to throw up a link to the 40D fashion archives. I always proclaimed just because you’re a big nilla don’t mean you gotta be sloppy…

    Infinite Props Dallas. Further proof that you’re either born with style or your not. Not these pre-programmed Garanimals BAPEy outfits these jits are wearing!

    I Fux,

    Everybody jumped on the Easter Egg AF-1’s, but since I don’t fucks with AF-1’s and my A.M. 180 steez is already offish I copped these jawnts. I just keep my shit on ice until it’s time to snap necks later on.

    I sold a blue label CPRL-93 hoodie on eBay for over 4 bills all because I still had the manufacturers’ SKU ticket on the I.T. 1993 niggas! Yes, it gets that real.

    Yo dallas, thanks for mentioning the Symes store in Manhattan in the last post. I’m down here in Virginia and I never heard of it , so I decided to see if they had a website, and it turns out they do.

    You can’t buy Polo from the website, but they do have a store locator. I found out they got a store in Falls Church, VA outside of DC.

    I wish I had known about this last week, cuz I just went up to DC to see the Wizard and Cavs game on Friday.

    I’m gonna have to hit them up, cuz they got those Polos on the cheap.

    Oh yeah, thanks again on the discount promotional code you gave out earlier, I just copped three fly ass shirts and saved bout $70. And the shipping was free cuz I copped more than 1. So I really saved bout $85 now that I think about it.
    Good looking playa.
