"ARMY VEST CREATION" IN DUE TIME

EVEN THOUGH I AM IN CREATION MODE OF THE "JEAN CREATIONS" MY MY BRAIN STILL FINDS ROOM TO FIGURE OUT HOW I WILL GO UPON CUSTOMIZING ARMY VEST. BEING IN THE PATH I AM IN LIFE MY BRAIN IS CONSTANTLY FLOWING IDEAS OF DIFFERENT TOPICS. I FEEL IF YOUR BRAIN KEEPS FLOWING WITH IDEAS AND YOUR MOVING FORWARD IN LIFE YOUR GROWING AS A PERSON AND IN WHAT YOU ENJOY . THE PHOTOS PROVIDED ARE PICTURES OF THE HONG KONG  ARMY VEST. I MUST ADMIT, ORDERING ARMY VEST ON EBAY TO HIT GERMANTOWN, PHILADELPHIA FROM HONG KONG  I FIGURED SOMEONE WOULD GET THIS PIECE LOST. LAST FRIDAY THE VEST ARRIVED AT THE CRIB SAFE WITH A PACKAGE THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS DROPPED OUT OF AN AIR PLANE. ALMOST EVERYTHING IS HOW I IMAGINED IT TO BE. THE SIZE IS ADJUSTABLE, THE STRINGS ARE MAD ILL, THE PATCHES ARE DOPE BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT PISSES ME OFF. THE COLOR OF THE VEST IS NOT THE COLOR SHOWN IN THE DESCRIPTION PHOTO ON EBAY. IT'S A HUGE DEAL  BECAUSE COLOR IS EVERYTHING WHEN PUTTING YOUR MIND INTO CUSTOM. THE FAIL OF THE COLORING IS NOW A CHALLENGE. I HAVE TO MAKE THE OUTCOME OF THIS DOPE. AFTER THIS CREATION IS DONE PICTURES WILL BE POSTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT'S GONNA BE DOPE 

BEST BAG OF CHIPS ARE "HERR'S HONEY BBQ" CHIPS DOG

 I NEVER MENTION FOODS ON THE M.C.R. BLOG BUT TO KEEP IT MAD REAL  HERR'S  HONEY BBQ FLAVORED POTATO CHIPS MURDER ANY CHIPS EVER MADE. I CAN EAT THESE CHIPS WITH ANY MEAL OF THE DAY AS A SIDE DISH HOLMES. "IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THAT, YA WHOLE PERSPECTIVE IS WACK". AND TO LET IT BE KNOW IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST LAYS ON THE FRONT. I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY POTATO CHIP DESIGNS THAT CAN BEAT THIS.

ASTRO BOY FIRST EPISODE IN 1960: THE BIRTH OF ASTRO BOY

THIS MORNING I RAN INTO THE THOUGHTS OF VIEWING THE FIRST ASTRO BOY EPISODE. HAVING MY BOWL OF FRUITY PEBBLES AND MY EYES GLUED TO THE SCREEN, I WITNESSED THE FIRST 1960 ASTRO BOY CARTOON ON YOUTUBE. I FEEL IT'S ONLY RIGHT I SHARE THIS WITH MY PEOPLE. THERE IS A REASON I AM GOING BACK TO THE "ASTRO BOY" HISTORY. IT'S THE START OF JAPANESES CARTOONS AND I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ASTRO IN HIS FIRST DAYS.I FEEL MAD LUCKY FOR VIEWING THIS. THE THREE YOUTUBE EPISODES PROVIDED EQUAL TO THE FIRST FULL EPISODE OF ASTRO BOY.

SUZI ANALOGUE- HERE WE GO (OFFICIAL VIDEO) WORLD PREMIER!

∆ H E R E W E G O ∆ from Suzi Analogue on Vimeo.

SUZI ANALOGUE IS MAKING SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC TO DATE. SHE WORKS HARD AND MAKES SURE EVERY PIECE OF HER CRAFT IS CORRECT WITH BEING ON POINT BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO OUR WORLD. BEING A WITNESS OF SUZI CREATIONS IS A GOOD THING FOR ME BECAUSE I SEE WITH MY OWN EYES HOW LONG SHE WORKS ON HER CRAFT AND THERE ARE NO RUMORS INVOLVED. IN THE VIDEO SUZI SPORTS A  RARE DOPE VINTAGE COCA-COLA BUTTON UP WITH A JEAN VEST SHE CREATED ON HER OWN. HER OUTFIT IS DOPE, CAN'T FORGET  TO MENTION THE VINTAGE "YSL" SWEATER MNDSGN IS SPORTING IS DOPE AS WELL. GOOD PIECES IN THIS VIDEO.SUZI IS A WOMAN THAT SINGS GREAT, CUSTOMIZES HER OWN CLOTHING, 3RD OF OUR SWRV COMPANY, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DIDN'T  KNOW SUZI IS A TEACHER. AT THE AGE OF 23 SHE IS HOLDING THE TORCH HIGH FOR OUR GENERATION LEADING PEOPLE IN A POSITIVE DOPE DIRECTION. IF YOUR WONDERING WHO DIRECTED THE VIDEO, IT WAS MY GOOD FRIEND JAMERSON. HE DOES A GREAT JOB AT DIRECTING AND YOU WILL SEE PLENTY MORE FILMS FROM MY HOMIE. SUZI'S "MY DAY" VIDEO IS DOPE. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO CLICK PLAY ON THE VIMEO ABOVE, I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT ON THE MOVEMENT

MY SNEAKERS FOR THE HOMELESS ONCE EVERY MONTH

STARTING THIS MONTH I WILL BE DONATING A PAIR OF SNEAKERS TO THE HOMELESS MONTHLY. IN PHILADELPHIA HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF SO MANY THINGS AS IN FOOD, WATER, SHELTER, AND PLENTY MORE. CONSTANTLY WALKING DOWNTOWN IN THE CITY MY VIEW OF WHAT THE HOMELESS ARE MISSING IS FOOTWARE. SO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT THEN A MUG, WHICH IS NOT HEALTHY. THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT IS ON THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA AND PLUS THE WINTER IS COMING UP. THE FACT THAT I AM A HIGH TOP SNEAKER DUDE IS A PLUS FOR THE HOMLESS WITH WINTER COMING UP SOON. THIS SUMMER WAS MAD HOT AND WHEN OUR SUMMERS ARE BLAZING THEY SAY OUR WINTER WILL BE FREZZING COLD. THE HIGH TOP OF THE SNEAKERS I WILL PROVIDE FOR THE HOMELESS IS A GOOD DEED. MAD PEOPLE WERE ASKING WHY WOULD I DECIDE TO PROVIDE SNEAKERS, CALLING THIS A USELESS PROVIDING FOR THE HOMELESS. IT'S CRAZY HOW SOME PEOPLE THINK SOMETIMES. THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS FROM MY POINT OF VIEW IS IF YOU HAVE PLENTY YOU SHOULD SHARE WITH THE NEEDY. THAT'S JUST HOW I FEEL HOLMES. PLUS I GET STYLING TIPS FROM THE HOMELESS, I GOTTA GIVE BACK. THATS FOR ANOTHER POST THOUGH.

SUZI ON THE LAPTOP KINDA CONFUSED OF WHAT ME AND JAMERSON ARE TALKING ABOUT AND JAMERSON RECORDING WITH THE HD CAMERA WAS NO TYPE OF INTERVIEW OR ACT. THE 8BALL I AM SHAKING WAS COMPLETELY NEGATIVE IN EVERY QUESTIONED I ASK AS YOU CAN SEE. THIS IS A REAL SWRV EVENT AND WE WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH OUR WORLD. CAN'T FORGET TO MENTION JAMERSON CATCHES SOME GEMS IN THIS VIDEO SO WATCH CLOSELY.STAYING UP LATE NIGHTS AND WAKING UP AT SUNRISE WILL SURLY PAY OFF FOR THE HARD WORK.

TAKASHI MURAKAMI EXHIBITION AT THE CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES

I AM IN HIGH LIKES OF TAKASHI MURAKAMI ART. EVEN THOUGH HIS ART FORMS ARE FAR AWAY FROM ME I STILL FIND MYSELF GLIDING MY EYES HARD INTO THE SCREEN OF MY LAPTOP. THE COLORS AND SUPERFLAT ART IS NO COMPARING TOO. HE IS OUR BEST ARTIST OF THE 21ST CENTURY, IN MY OPNION.PICTURES ARE FROM THE EXHIBITION HELD AT THE CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES IN FRANCE. THE GOLD PIECE OF TAKASHI'S CRAFT IN THE PHOTO ABOVE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I REMEMBER BUMPING KANYE'S MIXTAPE CANT'S TELL ME NOTHING AND DRULLING AT THE ART COVER.

ARTIST PROFILE: DIZZY

ARTIST PROFILE: DIZZY from Malik Robinson on Vimeo.

 THE VIMEO PROVIDED IS A SHORT INTERVIEW OF A GOOD HOMIE OF MINE NAMED DIZZY. HOMIE HAS BEEN ON THE GRIND EVERY SINCE I MET HIM AND CONTINUES TO SHOW OUR CULTURE WHAT HE'S BEST AT. AT THE AGE OF 24 DIZZY IS CONSTANTLY SHOWING PEOPLE THE GREATS OF DRESSING AND THE SMART WAY TO GRING IT OUT. IF YOU KNOW THIS GUY HE DOSEN'T STOP. ALL IN THE WORKS IS SENDING A TEXT TO YOUR PHONE WHENEVER CLOTHES ARE ADDED TO HIS ONLINE SHOP, IN THE WORKS WITH UBIQ, AND A COMPLETE GRINDER. HE HAS GREAT SENSE IN HOW TO KEEP A POSITIVE MIND IN THIS GAME. THE GUY BEHIND THE CAMERA OF "S.P.Y. FILMS" GOES BY THE NAME OF MALIK. MALIK TOO IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE COMING UP VIDEO WISE IN THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS FIGURED THIS OUT BUT PHILLY DOES NOT HAVE THAT MANY VIDEOGRAPHERS. HIS VIDEOS ARE GREAT. I REMEMBER BEING IN SCHOOL AND SEEING THIS KID WITH ALL PURPLE EVERYTHING SUCH AS VANS, SUPRAS, AND AMERICAN APPAREL. IT'S WEIRD TO ME HOW YOU NEVER TALK TO PEOPLE AT A PRESENT TIME BUT IN DUE TIME YOU CATCH EACH OTHER IN THE SAME FIELD OF WORK.WITH THE VIDEOS THAT THE HOMIE MALIK ARE CONSTANTLY PUTTING OUT HE HAS THE ABILITY TO TO CRUSH THE GAME. DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE VIMEO.

SWAGGER BLEACH DENIM JACKET

"MOTM2" EXCLUSIVE LEAK: KID CUDI- "DID YOU GET IT"

KiD CuDi-Did You Get It by uristocrat

SHORTLY AFTER KID CUDI'S "ERASE ME" TRACK WITH BIG BROTHER KANYE WEST KID CUDI HAS LEAKED ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE TUNE OFF OF HIS SECOND ALBUM MAN ON THE MOON 2. THE TRACK IS DOPE AS HE CATCHES WHAT USE TO GO DOWN IN CLEAVLAND IN HIS YOUNG AGES AND WHAT HE WOULD THINK COMING UP IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. CUDI MENTIONS A TIME IN HIS LIFE WHEN HE THOUGHT THERE WAS NO LUCK. HE STANDS UP FOR CLEAVLAND WITHOUT THINKING TWICE ABOUT IT. IN MY OPINION KID CUDI IS THE SPOKESMAN OF CLEAVLAND RIGHT NOW, CARING CLEAVLAND ON HIS BACK. "BIG UP" TO THE URISTOCRAT FAMILY FOR PROVIDING THIS TRACK. THEY'RE GOOD PEOPLE.

A LITTLE SPIKE LEE AND "CLOCKERS" REMINDER FOR ME

IN MY OPINION SPIKE LEE IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE DIRECTORS TO EVER BRAIN STORM MOVIE THOUGHTS.I KNOW THAT'S AN EXTREME STATEMENT BUT HIS WORK PROVES IT ALL. ABOUT FOR YEARS AGO I REMEMBER GOING ON SPIKE LEE MOVIE HUNTS AT WALMART AND UP TO THIS DAY I HAVE THEM STASHED AWAY FROM THE UN LOYAL MOVIE HOLDERS WITHIN MY FAMILY.SPIKE LEE CAPTURES REAL LIFE EVENTS AND SITUATIONS THAT GOES ON IN BLACK FAMILIES, IT'S KINDA CRAZY HOW REAL HE MAKES HIS FILMS. FROM "SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT","GET ON THE BUS", AND "MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA" SPIKE LEE NEVER FOUND HIMSELF DISAPPOINTING HIS AUDIENCE. AT THE AGE OF FIFTY-THREE I FEEL SPIKE WILL CONTINUE TO CRUSH THE MOVIE INDUSTRY. THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE 20 FILMS SPIKE HAS DIRECTED I HAVE TO SAY "CLOCKERS" STARRING MEKHI PHIFER AT THE MOMENT IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE.OF COURSE THE REASON OF CLOCKERS BEING MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS BECAUSE OF THE STAGE I AM IN MY LIFE. AS I THINK ABOUT LIFE AS OF NOW, ME AND EVERYONE AROUND THE AGE OF TWENTY IS THINKING OF FAST WAYS TO RE-UP ON MONEY THE FASTEST WAY.

IN THE MOVIE "CLOCKERS" STRIKE SPORTS ONE OF THE DOPEST JEAN JUMPERS I HAVE SEEN ALONG WITH AN ARIZONA JERSEY SET WITH HIGH NIKE FORCES I WISH I COULD HAVE IN MY CLOSET.THE FALL STRIKE COULDN'T FIND HIMSELF ESCAPING WAS AS THE LEADING ROLE WITHIN HIS DRUG TEAM. WATCHING THIS MOVIE CONSTANTLY REMINDS ME TO NEVER FALL TO THE LOWEST STEP TO WHERE I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO SELL DRUGS TO GET FAST MONEY FOR ANY ITEM OR LUXURY PIECE.THE SITUATIONS YOU FIND YOURSELF IN ARE RETARDED. US COLLEGE KIDS ARE MAD BROKE BUT SHOULD NEVER FALL INTO SELLING DRUGS. SELLIN YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF GETTING THE NICKNAME AS STRIKE. THROUGH OUT ALL OF THE SPIKE LEE JOINTS I WOULD RECOMMEND "CLOCKERS" TO MY GENERATION. IF YOU WANT TO TUNE INTO THE FILM "CLOCKERS" AND HAVE COMCAST CABLE GO TO MOVIE COLLECTIONS THEN SPIKE LEE. YOU SHOULD FIND THE FILM WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS IS A MUST SEE SPIKE LEE. 

AMBUSH HISTORY AT THE AMBUSH DESIGN HEADQUATERS

VERBAL & YOON: Where It All Happens from hypebeast.tv on Vimeo.

HYPEBEAST TV RECENTLY SAT DOWN WITH VERBAL AND YOON TO DISCUSS LITTLE HISTORY OF THEIR JEWELRY LINE "AMBUSH". IN THE VIDEO PROVIDED YOU CAN GET TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TWO IF YOU WATCH CLOSELY. THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY VIDEOS OF YOON AND VERBAL ACTUALLY TALKING AND SHOWING THEIR PERSONALTIES. I APPRICIATE THE CREATIVITY BUSRT VERBAL AND YOON OFFERS OUR CULTURE.I REMEMBER IN JANUARY 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED MY FIRST AMBUSH CHAIN FROM FRUITIOLV.PURCHASING THE GOLD AMBUSH CHAIN TWO YEARS AGO BECAME THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY JANUARY MONTH. I REMEBER SHOWING UP TO EVENTS AND HOMIES COULDN'T BELIEVE I GOT MY HANDS ON THE AMBUSH PIECE.IN THE INTERVIEW VERBAL ALSO GETS INTO WHAT HIM AND YOON ARE RECENTLY WORKING ON AND SPEAKS UPON "VERBAL'S AVERAGE DAILY ROUTINE".WATCH AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AS VERBAL AND YOON ALLOW THE WORLD INTO THEIR AMBUSH DESIGN OFFICE AS THEY MENTION THE OPERATIONS OF AMBUSH AND SO MUCH MORE.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JACKSON

I HAD TO BE TRIPPEN NOT POSTING THIS THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTHDAY HOLMES.

H&M x LANVIN COLLABORATION COMING SOON

IF YOU KEEP UP WITH H&M YOU SHOULD NOTICE HOW THEY HAVE BEEN KILLING THE GAME WITH EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATIONS. FIRST COMME DES CARCON AND JIMMY CHOO AND NOW LANVIN HAS PUT THEIR TWO SENSE IN COLLABORATING WITH THE H&M TEAM. I HAVE BEEN OFF OF H&M FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW. I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE A SUCKA TO PURCHASE ITEMS AS OF NOW JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE BIG COLLABORATIONS.

 LANVIN AND H&M HAVE ALOT OF PEOPLE AWAITING FOR THIS COLLABORATION TO DROP. PLUS H&M NEVER CHANGES THE PRICE OF THERE CLOTHING FOR NOTHING. WORKING AT H&M TWO YEARS AGO I KNOW FOR SURE THE PRICE NEVER DROPS AND THAT'S HOW THEY ATTRACT LOYAL SHOPPERS. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE TRIPPING THE DAY THIS DROPS. THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS PROVIDED ARE WORDS FROM ALBER ELBAZ FROM LANVIN AND HIS TEAM OF  DESIGNERS IT SEEMS.PAY CLOSE ATTENTION ON HOW THIS ALL STARTED AND HOW TO KEEP SAFE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY.

LORDS OF DOGTOWN Z-BOYS : JAY ADAMS

BEFORE YOU GLIDE YOUR EYES ALONG THE WORDS PROVIDED PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT SOME KID TRYING TO PORTRAY MYSELF AS THIS HARDCORE SKATEBOARDER. I DO SKATE THOUGH, ONCE WHEN MY MOM WAS TRIPPING AND SKATEBOARDS WERE THE ONLY ESCAPE FOR ME TO TRAVEL TO MY GIRLFRIENDS HOUSE, THAT'S WHEN I  WOULD FALL FOR THE BOARD AND WHEELS. CATCHING MYSELF FALL DEEPLY WITHIN THE URGE TO WATCH DOCUMENTARIES ON "COMCAST ON DEMAND" I  BUMP INTO SOME OF THE MOST NEEDED INFO TO BE KNOWN.  ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I  FOUND MYSELF FALLING INTO ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME WHICH IN MY OPINION IS "LORDS OF DOGTOWN". THE FILM IS PRODUCED BY STACEY PERALTA. STACEY PERALTA WAS APART OF THE DOGTOWN ZEPHER TEAM SO WHEN HE REACHED HIS LIFE JOB AS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE PRODUCERS IT WAS ONLY RIGHT FOR PERALTA TO WRITE AND PRODUCE THE MOVIE "LORDS OF DOGTOWN". WATCHING THE MOVIE AND DOCUMATARIES OVER AND OVER I CAME TO CONCLUSION JAY ADAMS IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED SKATERS EVER KNOWN TO MAN. AS THE MOVIE BEING BASED UPON TRUE STORY THE RESEARCH ON JAY ADAM'S HISTORY STARTS WITHOUT ME THINKING TWICE ABOUT THE SKATER.

RESEARCHING JAY ADAMS ON YOUTUBE, GOOGLE, AND BOOKS IT SEEMS THAT JAY WAS THE BIGGEST BAD ASS TO EVER PUT HIS TWO FEET ON A SKATEBOARD DECK. GROWING UP WITH PARENTS HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THEIR CHILDREN IN THE 70'S WAS A CRAZY TIME. EVEN THOUGH JAY WAS RAISED IN A BROKEN HOME WITH A SINGLE MOTHER HE SPROUTED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SKATERS. AT THE AGE OF 14 JAY WAS OFFERED TO BE SPONSORED BY PLENTY OF COMPANIES BUT DENIED EVERYONE BECAUSE HE FIGURED THE FREEDOM OF HIS SKATING WOULD DIE.CREATING MOVES ON SKATEBOARDS NO ONE ELSE COULD CREATE IN THE 70'S PUT HIM WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME.UP TO THIS DAY JAY ADAMS IS LOOKED AT AS A GOD FROM A SKATEBOARDERS POINT OF VIEW. I REALLY FEEL LIKE THE REASON JAY DIDN'T GO PRO WAS BECAUSE HE WAS SCARED HE WAS APART FROM HIS TEAM. WATCHING STACEY PERALTA ND TONY ALVA GOING PRO BROKE HIM BEING APART FROM HIS HOMIES AT THE AGE OF FOURTEEN. THE YOUTUBE VIDEO PROVIDED IS A PIECE FROM THE DOCUMENTARY "DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS". JAY ADAMS WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE IN SKATEBOARDING HISTORY. I WONDER HOW DIFFERENT THE SKATEBOARDING INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN IF JAY ADAMS WENT PRO. MAKES ME WANT TO BOARD IT UP.

IN SEARCH OF....VINTAGE GEAR

IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE OF MY CLOTHING SENSE TO LET YOU KNOW I'M A BIG VINTAGE COLLECTOR AND I CUSTOMIZE MY OWN CLOTHING. AT A YOUNG AGE THERE WAS NEVER A TIME WHEN I WOULD BE UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST TREND THAT I WOULD WANT TO BE WITH SUCH AS JERSEYS, TIMBERLANDS, OR JORDANS. BY THIS HAPPENING I HAD TO FIND SOME WAY FOR ME TO BE OUT WITH MY 12 YEAR OLD CREW LOOKING GOOD FOR THE 14 YEAR OLD FAST CHICKS.I WOULD GO TO THRIFT SHOPS WITH MOM DUKES FAITHFULLY PUTTING MY OWN STEEZE INTO WHATEVER I WOULD PURCHASE. ALL THE YEARS OF ME BUYING CLOTHES FROM THRIFT STORE BOUTIQUES I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT I WAS CREATING A WORLD THAT WAS MY OWN CREATIVE EYE CATCHING THEME.TO ME IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STREET BRAND OR LUXURY BRAND THAT STEPS INTO THIS GAME I WILL ALWAYS FEEL VINTAGE SHOPS ARE THE WAY TO GO. THE RAW THING ABOUT VINTAGE COLLECTING IS THAT IT'S A CONSTANT JOURNEY. YOU CAN FIND THE COOLEST SHIRT AROUND THE CORNER THAT WAS NEVER SEEN OR YOU COULD HAVE A SHIRT THAT YOUR GRAND POP WOULD STUNT IN AND YOU FIND IN YOUR DAYS YOU CAN STUNT WITH THE SAME PIECE. IT COMES DOWN TO HISTORY WITH VINTAGE GEAR AND THAT'S THE REASON I WILL ALWAYS PUT IT FIRST.  BELOW ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS I AM IN SEARCH OF ON A DAILY IN MY SIZE OR WANTS AS COLLECTOR ITEMS.

KRIS VAN ASSCHE'S HISTORY.KRIS VAN 2010 FALL SNEAKERS

 NIKE SB'S AND JORDANS WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY LIKES BECAUSE OF THE LOVE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FOR THE BRAND AND THE APPRECIATION I  HOLD FOR THE NIKE MOVEMENT. BUT LATELY, FOR A YEAR AND SOME MONTHS I HAVE BEEN FALLING DEEP INTO DESIGNER SNEAKS. IT'S MAD FUNNY WHEN HAVING JORDAN TALKS WITH THE HOMIES ON WHEN THE NEXT JORDAN WOULD DROP. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE ALL OR TALK VIBING IT UP ABOUT THE NEXT JORDAN IN MY MIND I CATCH MYSELF WONDERING  WHAT "KRIS VAN ASSCHE", "RICK OWNES", OR "RAF SIMMONS" WILL BRING TO THE TABLE WITH THEIR SNEAKER CRAFT THE NEXT SPRING OR WINTER. BETWEEN THE THREE DESIGNERS KRIS VAN ASSCHE HAS ME  SET OUT TO CUT  MONEY ON MEALS AND TRYING TO SAVE UP CASH ANY WAY I CAN TO PURCHASE HIS NEW FALL 2010 "LIBRA CALF SNEAKER" AND " BLACK COMBO". THE TWO BLACK LEATHER SNEAKS ARE COMPLETELY DOPE.THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT I CAN MENTION WHEN IT COMES TO HIS CRAFT TUNED INTO THE TWO CREATIONS. KRIS VAN ,THE BELGIUM KID HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN HIS HANDS AS A DESIGNER. SHORTLY GRADUATING FROM "ANTWERP ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS" IN BELGIUM KRIS WAS SELECTED BY HEDI SILMANE TO STAND AS AN INTERN AND PARTNER TO WORK SIDE BY SIDE FOR "YVES SAINT LAURENT". AFTER , KRIS WOULD FIND HIMSELF FOLLOWING SILMANE WORKING FOR "DIOR HOMME" WHERE HE SOON WOULD  HOLD DOWN THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR POSITION. IN 2005 HOMIE KRIS WENT OFF SHOWING HIS FIRST COLLECTION AND CREATIONS IN PARIS. FROM THE BRIEF VIEW KRIS VAN ASSCHE SHOWCASED IN PARIS HE WOULD BRANCH OFF WITH IS OWN COLLECTIONS MAKING SOME OF THE BEST CLOTHING WE HAVE SEEN WITH A SPECIALTY IN SNEAKERS. OG'S SUCH AS DIDDY AND USHER ARE CONSTANTLY BEING SEEN SPORTING HIS CRAFT.

 A WISE DECISION BY KRIS VAN WAS HAVING THE HEART TO TAKE OVER DIOR HOMME WHEN HEDI SILAME WOULD RESIGN IN APRIL 2007. UP TO THIS DAY AS THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AT DIOR HOMME KRIS DOMINATES HIS OWN LINE "KRIS VAN ASSCHE.IF YOU THINK ABOUT KRIS VAN ASSCHE'S STORY IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO YVES SAINT LAURENT'S EARLY HISTORY. YVES SAINT LAURENT MOVING FROM ORAN TO PARIS AND KRIS VAN MAKING THE SAME MOVE AS HE TRAVELS TO PARIS FROM BELGIUM. BOTH INTERNED AT A HUGE COMPANY AND TAKING OVER THOSE COMPANIES IN DUE TIME.THAT'S KINDA WILD HOW SIMILAR THEIR EARLY HISTORY HAS PLANNED OUT TO TRAVEL THE EXACT PATHS JUST DIFFERENT BRANDS. KRIS VAN ASSCHE HAS KILLED HIS WORK UP TO THIS DAY. FOR ME, I APPRECIATE HOMIES GRIND BUT THE SNEAKER LINES HE CONTINUE TO CREATE IS WHY I AM  HIGHLY IN THE LIKES OF HIS CRAFT. BELOW ARE MY TOP PICKS OF HIS 2010 FALL COLLECTION, THE "BLACK COMBO" AND"LIBRA CALF SNEAKER". KRIS VAN ASSCHE JOURNEY IS FAR FROM OVER. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN HOMIES.
