Congrats #23 Michael Jeffery Jordan

I can fondly remembering watching the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs against the Cleveland Cavs and seeing some guy named Michael Jordan tearing up a sorry defender named Ehlo. After that buzzer beater I quickly run to my dad to ask him to buy me a pair of Air Jordans. A few years and few AJ styles went by and after pestering my dad, he broke down and got me that coveted pair of Air Jordans. It was the Black and Red Air Jordan IV that got the "collection" started.
I think I wore these everywhere! Church, school, playground, and at home around the house. Since I needed to be "fly" all the time, I unfortunately wore my beloved Air Jordan IVs to mow the lawn of all things. Of course my naive mind was thinking, "Oh, it will be okay since I am on a riding mower." I was totally wrong! I basically added a dark hue of green to the once buttery suede that covered the sneaker. To make things worse, I tried to clean them off with water and a towel. And most people know, water and suede are not friends. So basically I totally ruined the kicks!!!
I frantically ran to my dad to explain to him the situation and the dire need of a new pair of AJ. He looked at me as if I were crazy and of course refused the request. But alas, 20 years later and the finances to fund my bad sneaker habit, I have a new pair of Air Jordan Black and Red IVs.
Thank you MJ for all the years of inspiration and contribution to my childhood!

Anatomy Lesson

CLICK to ENLARGE



Designer Angela Moramarco created this AnatoWii project, demonstrating what the anatomy of the Wii console might look like if it had internal organs, rather than hardware.

Consoles, in their own way, can become living, breathing members of our everyday life. Why shouldn’t they have their own anatomical charts?

STA MAGIC

STA x Stripper Pole in XS at Encore






Last week I made my annual visit and monetary deposit to Sin City, but this time it was with the STA fam. As usual, debauchery ensued, but this time around I joined the STA crew at the MAGIC Fashion Trade Show. It was quite an experience to meet the people behind the clothing and footwear brands that i willingly give my money...ha. Great people and a great experience. Meet some good people from HUF and the Kicks.HI crew from Guam and Hawaii.

I saw some really nice product by Opening Ceremony, Pendleton, 10 Deep, and Pubic School. The Nike meeting was a little disappointing but at least they provided free food...ha...thanks Phil Knight. I was not sure if I was allowed to take pics of product that was coming for Spring/Summer 2010 so I will let the other fashionista blogs do that for me.

Needless to say, I had a great time and it was good to see and hang with the STA fam again. See you all again soon!

Supreme Fall/Winter 2009

Well, the streetwear blogs are buzzing this morning about the new Supreme Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. There are some interesting collaborations in this collection. It appears that Disney, Hanes, and Bicycle playing cards have jumped on the hypebeast ban wagon and lended their iconic symbols and products to the new Supreme collection. Disney is not new to this as they have done collaborations with the likes of The Hundreds and Neighborhood but this is the first time that I have seen Hanes and Bicycle get into the game. Now you can rock a Supreme wifebeater to match your Supreme Blazers while you play spades...haha

NYC

Well, I spent the day in NYC yesterday to see what I could waste my money on but instead met up with some good people. It was nice to hang with Chris Vidal from ALIFE for a minute and catch up. He thankfully introduced me to Ms. Alex...





and of course traded in a tee at ALIFE and chatted with Ms. Angie for awhile too...



Also, right before I headed to ALIFE I was walking up Rivington thinking, "Damn, I need a haircut." And as I was walking, I run into a place called Freemans Sports Club , and it had a barbershop in the back. To say the experience was great is an understatement. If you need a hair cut in NYC stop here!
