Never Thought I'd Say This.

Style in Streetwear has been moving soo fast! We are seeing cleanliness and simplicity in all things fresh and new, in apparel and footwear. Style and silhouettes are completely going in directions where we never thought possible, taking the silhouette from a mens dress shoe and putting it in something more streetwear-esque. Wingtips are hitting the footwear scene hard.

I have discovered a new sense of style and fashion from my friend JJ, knows what is what. Very ahead for his age. He always shows me what he likes from brands I would never even think about buying. Like Ransom for instance, Check out these Dune Boots by Ransom X Adidas, rip-stop on a mint green nylon... very clean. I like these alot, I wouldn't say I'd purchase them yet but!, I can now see the direction.

Finally a visual for this real great track off of "808's and Heartbreaks", this video was actually directed by the same guy who worked with Kanye for the Glow in The Dark Book. Both, the book and this video, are really good. I would like to see more from this man named Nabil.

New Zealand so far...

It's been a while I know! It's raining today in Taupo, so the crew is having a lazy day. I finally pitched in for some wireless internet so I got time for a brief update. I touched down in Auckland and spent a week there pretty much waiting for our tour bus to come. Not much to do there except go to clubs. Sometimes even a nightclub! Some of them even give you free food and drinks on certain days. After Auckland, we went to Rotorua, which has crazy awesome geothermic activity, geysers and mud pools. It smells like rotten eggs, so if you're into that check it out. Following that was Waitomo, where we explored the legendary Waitomo caves. We were 11 stories underground. There were glowworms, zip-lining, tubing, waterfall climbing and cookies involved. Hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done. We hitchhiked to Raglan which was a surfer town to do some surferering. It's a pretty easy sport to pick up, especially if you're a skater or a snowboarder. After Raglan we ended up in Taupo which is where I am right now. It's my third day here. Yesterday we went skydiving! The picture above is just before we got on the plane. That's Cooper, Sara, Jesse, Ross and Me. We went up 15000 feet in the plane and freefalled for about a minute before deploying the parachute. It was pretty exhilarating. If you've ever been ice-fishing, you'll know what I'm talkin' bout. Tomorrow we are going to hike Mount Ngauruhoe, which you may know as the mountain used as a stand-in for Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings. Thats about the sum up of all coolest things I've done here so far. I'll definitely keep y'all posted when I can.

136! OMG!

Tuesdays With W.I.L.T.


This past week, I have been jamming out to Mickey Factz "The Dark Phoenix:Alpha". Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix being my favorite (non-Rap) album of 2009, I felt like this mixtape was ment for me. Seeing as all of the beats were sampled from the ever-so-popular Phoenix album. Its a non-stop thrill, ListenUp.
