Fuck it

I understand a lot of my latest entries have been about shoes, but so what.

For the longest time when I was transition from the extreme shoe game, around the 3rd generation of Nike SBs, when Bapes were still big, to the regular shoe game, I had an idea. Combining the two.

I thought about having a wingtip sneaker. Drew out models and everything, and ba-bam! I saw Clae had done it. But Vans ended up doing better. Seeing them in Classic Kicks in the city, I was like "damn 80 bucks". But now seeing them online, I'm like "damn that might be worth it", maybe if I don't wear them everyday, but chances are, I would.

Gotta give it up to Clae

I have to admit, I love shoes. Regardless of what is dead and what's not, shoes will always be a staple of a man's wardrobe. I don't care if his shoes are beat up canvas kickers, or to that of which is pure luxury, an Italian loafer, Ferraris on feet.

I personally don't own a pair of Claes. Too be completely honest, my brother Eric is the only person I've ever seen wear a pair, but what they are putting out soon, I think is so cool, and if I could justify spending 100+ dollars on a pair of shoes, I would have a pair, but I can't so I'll admire. Shit I can't even dish out 50 dollars for pants.

These are my two faves from what I've see.

Single Parent Hours

I've been working nonstop. I get about one day off a week, two if I am lucky. This is why I haven't been able to update as often as I would like.

Shit, 5 weeks left of summer. Where did you go? I don't care, I just want to go back to school.

When school kicks up, I'm going to try and see if I can get this thing going everyday. I need a point and shoot camera to take as a backup when I don't feel like carrying either of my slrs.

UGH

I need to start drawing again

I remember when I used to churn drawings out. I was like a machine. It's what got me into college and what has kept me in there since. But ever since I adopted this art form known as digital photography I have completely dropped drawing. I need to get back to it. I need to know if it is still there.

No more playing around.

Best Internet Ad

Those belong to this (below). MY GOD.



Sometimes I just go to the Karmaloop website, not to see what's new but just to see what she's wearing. I just don't get it man. They should put a disclaimer on the bottom on the site, "Model Does Not Come With Purchase".

I just want to get a dime piece girlfriend to buy the streetwear clothes and let her wear it for me. 

But the more I overanalyze it, the gayer it gets. Like you know that scene from scary movie where Shawn Waynes has his girlfriend put on all the football gear and he gets turned on like crazy? You know, because it's like the dudes he plays football with turn him on so to see a girl in it turns him on even more? I feel like it's kinda like that with streetwear clothes and dudes who frequent karmaloop. Catch my drift? 

ugh, she's so foxy.

The Award Tour

I gotta give them props because they are young kids doing their thing in an old market. I don't see many brands labeled made by 19+ year olds out in the market, because honestly, it's fuccking hard. Working at Pro-Keds and now Mighty Healthy showed me that there is more than just putting an image on a t-shirt. But these kids are trying and they get press on HypeBeast, so they are doing something right. I saw their look book on photobytone.com's website, and I thought it was alright, the clothes I mean, the look book could have been done waaaay better for the money they paid IMO. My only question is, what the fuck is a kid with a DC shirt on doing in this one picture?

I just find it hilarious that one random white boy is wearing a shirt not part of the brand in the look book, that's all.

this post was made on Safari, so you won't be able to click to enlarge I think. To check out the rest of their shit go to http://www.photobytone.com under fashion.

btw UFC 100 is tomorrow so, LETS GO GSP!
