TIMBO REMIX



since we already in OCTOBER, and the winter is steady approaching, we need to take a quick look at the winter wears. My favorite boot company, Timberland, is doing something interesting with their HAZEL HIGHWAY collection. Its basically some of our favorite timbs, with that leather material we see of the original 40 belows. remember those. I myself love the field boot series, particularly the 6 inch aka high top beef and broccoli gore tex joints. Well, Timberland remixed those. I can definately see a pair of those, because, yeah, nubuck is cool, but no matter how much you clean it, and water protect it, the snow and ice, eventually will get it. Now, leather on the other hand, man just see for yourself

THE HAZEL HIGHWAY REVAMP

from ROC TO RALPH



I follow quite a few people on the social media outlet Instagram..From people I don't know to people I do know. The rappers, the artists, the graff kings, the polo rockers, the video vixens, the celebrities, the good, the bad, the not so cute (Ugly not in My dictionary) One of the people I follow is Dame Dash @duskopoppington, and amongst seeing his upcoming projects, his travels, his rants, etc, I get to see his gear game. Being a Harlem cat, Dame has always been a fly dude....But what I did notice, is that Dame is 'paying attention', by paying attention, I mean, he is amongst the many people that rock that Polo gear. I 'borrowed' a few Dame pics. I must say, We SEE YOU Dame. From Roc to Ralph...

Hey, it Happens

COOKIE LOvers



Y'all Know, the saying...Everything Old is New...from the music we listen to, the sneakers we wear on our feet, to the clothes we wear on our backs. The word 'retro' has been thrown around so much, that now, stores have capitalized off of selling vintage, used, Retro, hand-me-down clothing in the masses. Throwback goods are sooo in. Mitchell and Ness have been doing it for years, Michael and Brand Jordan And the good people over at Nike have been taking advantage of releasing kicks that we had, loved, lusted after but couldn't afford, and now we got a couple dollars, bought over and over again, sometimes by standing on line or camping out at stores for em..Yes its On!!!

One of my favorite designers, Ralph Lauren Polo, is now doing the same thing. For years we rocked the brand, like A badge of honor, A token of excellence, A representation of who we were and how Fresh we dressed. Polo symbols which we gave nick names, like the Crest or the Crizzy, the cop badge, the scribble, and the cookie. Well, Ralph did come back with the Crizzy, and alot of us flocked towards the scribble, now he has done it again with the Cookie...The good ol' cookie, usually on shirts, sweaters, coats, and pants, sometimes accompanied by a 'POLO USA' has come back standing alone, oh no wait...they even have a cookie hoody with the horsey on da chest...sooo NO BUENO...

Peep the old vs new photos, and decide, will you be getting up on a cookie this season
