Streetwear is the future of casual dressing. Whether you want to call it Sports-luxe or Athleisure (athletic-leisure, get it?), simple athletic clothing adapted for daily wear is an essential part of any modern man’s wardrobe. It is not a fad or a trend but actually has more to do with lifestyle than fashion. Born out of the surf culture of the 70s, streetwear has been dominated by Nike ever since the conception of the Air Jordan brand, through their monopoly in worldwide sneaker sales. With the rise in sales of apparel from sports franchises in the 90s and the way hip-hop artists and celebrities embraced these products was a huge boost to the streetwear scene.

Three Days Of The Condor

by

Camo shirt-5                  On Sunday mornings, I like to sit by the lake near my house in a black pea-coat and feed pigeons, waiting for top secret documents like Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor. Joke. I do not like pigeons, they walk funny. But cold mornings are probably the only time I can actually wear a pea-coat, thanks to the blazing summer that has already set in. Thankfully, it has been raining for the past three days here so this outfit works in the evenings as well, as long as you stay dry. With the monsoons and colder weather coming up, outerwear becomes a necessity. So let’s take a closer look here.

The Nike Lebron XII

by

LebronXII-1    What’s it like, getting my feet into the most technologically advanced shoe available on the market today? What is this thing? Why does it look like something out of the year 2200 A.D? These are the questions I shall try and answer in this week’s edition of Sneaker Sundays, featuring the latest in Nike’s Lebron line of shoes, The Twelve. Seen here in it’s lead ‘NSRL’ colorway, it sparks the usual ‘What colorful shoes!’ reaction from most folks who show up to the blacktop, people completely oblivious to the amount of science that goes into these sneakers. Technologically, this shoe is the equivalent of a microwave oven in the ’40s. Yes. That makes sense because all the shoes you’ve worn thus far were just born from ideas in a designers mind. This shoe however, came from a lab, The Nike Sports Research Lab. Created using data gathered from in-depth analysis of Lebron’s playing style. This is very important because James did not wear the Lebron XI much during the 2013-14 season, and claimed that he wasn’t happy with them. So Nike set out to design a shoe that could support Lebron’s raw power and big jumps, while keeping him safe. Looking at the Cav’s performance in the playoffs so far, and after wearing this shoe, I think they did a pretty good job.

500 Days of Summer – A Linen Primer

                   You may think that I am trying to channel ‘Sonny’ from Miami Vice, but you can tell by my face that I am displeased. Because summer sucks. Why you ask? Because it’s too hot to layer, so all my jackets stay in. And I have to … Read more

The skies in my city have been real grey lately. Rain and hailstorms every other day. It is not fun being stuck indoors when you’ve got all these wonderful clothes to stunt. But hey, rain clouds are quite unpredictable. Never know when the sky just clears. Stepping out real quick and don’t know what to … Read more

Classic scooters. The most fascinating of all two-wheeled vehicles.  Why ride fast and look like a blur when you can cruise and add some lovely color to the bland roads of today. It works the same way with clothes. Why not add some color to your wardrobe. Even a little bit goes a long way. … Read more
