So Christmas is here and it’s the time of giving and receiving, well the older you get I feel the less and less you receive, so x-mas came early and my friends over at Nike sent over some goodies. Shout out to the MB’s of the world for always taking care of a brother. What happens when a bag off of Santa’s sled accidentally falls off and drops in the hood? Presents for me is the correct answer!

About a years ago I had the privilege to have dinner with Chris Julien and Samantha Alonso the creative minds behind Fruition Las Vegas, the number 1 vintage luxury streetwear shop in the world. Like everyone else, I heard about the shop trough the blogsphere and made it a point to visit the shop while I was in Vegas for the trade show season. What impressed me about the power couple was their knowledge on fashion, subcultures and their passion for the lifestyle. We spoke about everything from the shop, their future involvement with Kanye West, the future of Las Vegas and their role in the every growing market of streewear culture. Chris and Samantha have a very spriritual approach to life as well, always giving thanks to God for their blessings and opportunities. Fruition is not just their retail operation it has been a life long dream for the two and have finally seen this magnificent operation come to fruition hence the name.

This Air max 90 premium tech pack deserves no explanation. I love the air max series from Nike, they are truly comfortable and are just real classic. I know you’ve been hearing and seeing the Nike tech pack stuff which is very technical and made for the outdoor environment so these are just a great addition to the gear. The details are as follows: premium leather uppers, perforated toe-box, lasered pattern details.

I wasn’t sure if I should classify this little nifty thing in coolhunts, accessories or gadgets, so I chose coolhunts to simplify things for me and you the reader. Stussy is a brand I have tremendous respect for, they have been doing the damn thing for more than 25 years and are still relevant. One day I’ll have to profile Shawn Stussy for your reading pleasure, anyway back to this utility thing, the Stussy Utility Tool, has various tools in one: flash light, comes in rip-stop pouch to attach to belt, beer and bottle opener the and length: 70mm (folded) Enjoy!
