COOGI BACK!!!!
You know the saying..."Everything Old is New" That goes for almost Everything. Especially, when it comes to Fashion!!! I've seen my favorite designer, Ralph Lauren bring back quite a few symbols from back in the day in like, the past year. Another piece of gear, I always liked, was the COOGI brand. I was never fortunate ($$$ wise) to cop any, but I knew, if I did, I would cop me a colorful ass knit a la B.I.G. (RIP) Funny, we looked at Cliff Huxtable rock them 'interesting' (I don't like the word Ugly) knits for some time, but when Big Poppa came through, we figured "Hey, if B.I.G. got one, then its gotta be Fly!!! Some of us actually got the store, and seen the price tag and was like WOOOWWWW.... BACK UP, BACK UP, ABORT MISSION!! While other fly guys, fashion mavens, and trend setters decided to take the $300-$500 'L' for the FLY TEAM, so to speak.
Over time, the brand did some great things, like pocket books, jeans, tee shirts, jackets, etc. So great, they winded up on bargain racks in a few stores, thus making the brand teeter-totter on the lines of being Corny Annd making it the Go -to Fresh gear amongst Country boys all in the South. Finally, the website was gone, and alot of knitwear left too. The jeans, and colorful ass shirts, stayed in the bargain basement. Enter another designer from the past, Wille Esco (remember Esco clothes?) who jump started the return of the brand with a heavy internet and social media campaign via instagram. For weeks, pictures of items were showing up, then people were sending in their own pics of them rocking COOGI, with a ...coming soon notice. Clothing company Rag & Bone made a Coogi inspired knit sweater for women, but the actual brand Still had us wondering, how soon? I was like WHEN????
Well, finally, the time has come. The website will be up soon, like in days, if not up Now, and the COOGI knit wear is available online and in stores. Not just any stores, but Mr Collabo himself, Ronnie Fieg's KITH NYC stores. The knitwear is Still colorful, and some pieces even have some leather on it. Also, theres joggers, with the Coogi knit style. Like it Never left. The price tag ( a whopping $5 hunned and change for sweaters or sweatpants) is kinda hefty, but when you bring back COOGI.... you Can't sell it for Bargain Basement prices. Now, lets see whose gonna take another 'L' for the Flyteam.

J-CATION REEBOK PUMPS , ASICS AND NB HIKERS
Its November, so that means, Xmas is right around the corner, but first you must endure, Thanksgiving and the ultimate BLACK FRIDAY...It seems, that along with Saturday releases, the Jordan Brand likes to Release kicks on Black Friday as well. I hear a pair of black infra-red 6s are coming out that day. As much as I would like to get 'em, I keep thinking bout my other Js, the ones I barely wear, the ones I just style in, the same ones, multiple people, Jordan owners amongst them, said the sneaker was Poorly Made. I must say, and hate to admit it...These people are right !! I mean, I don't even wear em like that. Here it is, one of my favorite pairs, black 7s Raptors, are coming apart, around the side of the toe.
I've always said it, but I think it has to happen. I need a vacation from these kicks. A J-cation. I let myself get so wrapped up in Js, that I neglected to consider, like or even look at other brands, but now that I am looking, I'm starting to do some liking. I started with the New Balance, but now for some reason, Reebok Pumps are catching my eye
peep it
I also wanna big up ASICS as well. They make a nice lo running sneaker. I'm feeling what I'm seeing
...Since the weather is Changing up on us, we like to throw on a nice boot...Yes ladies, fellas like a Nice Boot too. Besides the Timberlands, I always been partial to the New Balance H710 hiking/trail boots. They are always around, its just that the colorways they have now, are something to be desired. I think of a time, when NB partnered with JCREW for a hiker, and the collab was wonderful.. I feel corny now, because I had a chance to cop em, but didn't wanna pay the hunned dollars...Now, I can't find them ANYWHERE!!! just these new colorways.
"THINK LONG/ THINK WRONG"
I'm NOT MAD, NOT MAD AT ALL
..So, the internet and social media has been kinda fun the last few days. Paper Magazine has released the cover of the Winter issue Break the internet, featuring the one and only Kim Kardashian-West. Theres 2 covers actually, one of her in a gown, popping a bottle of champagne while balancing a champagne glass on her ass. I looked further, and found out, it was a Recreation of the photographer, artist, illustrator, designer Jean Paul Goude's "champagne incident" The other cover features Kim's most infamous buddy, her Ass. Now there has been all types of comments, opinions, I've seen people suggesting flagging her picture inappropriate so Instagram can take down her page...I mean Really??? Really?? lets just let Kim do Kim. Now, I'm not mad, i'm not mad at either cover. Who would be mad at seeing Kim's naked, oiled up, round ass? I'll wait..........Crickets... or maybe its a 'man' thing. Or maybe we should be so used to seeing her and her Ass nearly or completely NAKED...get Used to it people!!! And if your not a Paper magazine buyer, don't worry, the internet made the pictures very accessible.
Enjoy
