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!
Looks a litlle like spring 08 dunks to me…
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.

No one really likes wearing gloves in the winter time unless your snowboarding or holding grocery bags, but these might make you change your mind. Idiom has to be in my opinion 1 of the most innovative and stylish outerwear companies, for those who don’t know Idiom is Burton’s small Japanese house label. These can be used as a snowboard gloves – or just for every-day use. Constructed using premium components from Gore-Tex to palm leather, with Thinsulate insulation for extra warmth. Featuring i-Dot design detailing and Velcro closure to stop snow and rain getting in.
Being in the house and walking around barefooted is kinda of a big deal, so having a pair of warm and comfortable and not to mention branded cool guy slippers is a must for all cool guys alike. These Original Fake down house slippers are really dope and sure beats wearing Crocs.
Cool guy points: Anti-slip soles, Fleece lining, Down feathered and Kaws embroidered cross eyes.
I bring to you a very new brand from Berlin by the name of Living Mutants, I already got my winter jacket for this season already but after seeing this jacket I guess I could use another one. These jackets will be produced in limited amounts. What makes it unique are the invisible zippers, embedded goose down fill, removable fur collar and a couple other things you will have to figure out for yourself if you get your hands on it. Visit BGHD for more info.
