Coolhunts: Gucci Bicycle

January 27th, 2009

This is truly for the unique individual who likes to ride around in style. The Gucci Bicycle is for the Mr. Rogers in you, that old soul who appreciates heritage and has an affinity for luxury items. You need to have some money if you want this bicycle because it will cost you about $6500. If I lived in Rome or London and I had no car this would be my ride of choice as I ride to the nearest cafe for an Espresso. Ladies we can still double ride!

My brother had the original Nike mocs, I think back in 96 0r 99 I’m not sure why those years come to mind but that’s what I remember. Anyhow they’ve been re-released and I would not mine adding these to my rotation again. It’s more of an outdoor shoe which is very comfortable, durable and will protect you against the elements.

Details:
100% Suede upper
Thinsulate lining
rugged rubber outsole
leather heel tab and adjustable strap
Air cushioning

80 Eur

“The cult classic ACG Air Moc is back! A Thinsulate insulation will keep your feet warm and dry. And, yes, this one is made for the (great) outdoors, but it will surely serve you well indoors, too.” the-glade

Chance Encounter
In 1980, when Obama was a freshman at Occidental College in Los Angeles , he was approached by an aspiring photographer named Lisa Jack, who asked him if he would be willing to pose for some black and white photographs that she could use in her portfolio

Handsome
Of her first meeting (in a campus eatery) with Obama, Jack remembers only that “He was really cute. But what else does a 20-year-old girl remember

Styled
In the photos, Jack says, “You can see he is just posing, initially, but as the shoot goes on, he starts to come out. He was very charismatic even then

Prop
Jack never realized her dream of becoming a photographer and is now a psychologist

Pose
Jack and Obama would see each other only a few more times while students. But in 2005, while on a tour, she spotted Obama on Capitol Hill and yelled hello. “He knew exactly who I was after all this time,” Jack says. “I was amazed

Doubt
On a dare from a skeptical friend, Jack decided to track down her negatives from the shoot.

Searcher
Initially, before she dug the film out from her basement, Jack never thought her pictures would have much life beyond her own darkroom

Smile
When she f ound them, the images of Obama “blew me away,” she says. “I had no idea I’d taken a whole roll of film

Charm
For a while, Jack put the negatives in a safety-deposit box, so that they could not be used until after the election, w hen there would be no chance they could be used for a political purpose.

Thoughtful
Today, Jack says, she hopes the photos reveal a “spirit of fun and thoughtfulness

The Man Who Would Be President
“I’m not political,” Jack says, “(But) these are historic photos and they should be shared

Thanks to MB for the story and pics.

I simply love these! Vans authentics in patent leather are really interesting. I know the patent leather initiatives have been overdone but I can still use another pair in my collection. $52

Enjoy

Here you have a look at the new Gucci High Tops Sneakers, part of the summer 09 Collection. All the brands seem to be taking all of their high tops really high.

These are for people who are not feeling the recession because these cost $675.

Thanks to Justin Garcon for the info.
