Tanktop Tuesday…At Least For This Tuesday

With the weather only getting hotter a must have in your collection is a classic tank top. Today I wore a basic cross H & M tank top with grey dry-fit Nike shorts and tied the outfit together with my most recent Nike ID creation that was some bright tiffany blue(isn) roshe runs. Basic tanks are a must for any guy trying to look fresh this summer and acquire a good tan. Just don't stay out too long and get a gnarly burn like I did. ;) 

Nike Free Orbit ii SP

Designed by Nathan VanHook who was the designer for the Nike Air Yeezy 2 these new Nike Free Orbit ii SP are a must have for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The details on these kicks are super unique with the Nike Free 5.0 outer sole and full black studded upper, these slip-ons are an easy go to for every kind of spring/summer outfit you throw together. I found these for $200 with free shipping at Mr. Porter

   

Rip City Adventure

Had to go with the blackout look wearing a Retro Portland Trailblazers jersey (Rasheed Wallace) and Mitchell and Ness  Zers snapback, H & M pants, and Nike Free Orbit II shoes

 The Portland Trailblazers hosted the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of their playoff series on May 10th 2014 and my buddy Jared and I were able to grab tickets to the game. Unfortunately the Veteran Spurs were just too much for the young Blazers as they went on to win 118-103 but the experience of the game was one for the ages. The playoff atmosphere for a professional franchise is unlike anything I have ever experienced and cannot wait to do it again. Although part of me was glad that the Spurs won so Jerry wouldn't be salty on the ride home I definitely am going to have to say this Portland trip turned me into a Rip City fan. I'm excited to keep up with the team in the future. Go Blazers!

We sat in section PP seats 5 and 6 behind the basket. Here's our view.

Publish Brand "Kiles" Joggers

With their slogan being "Today For Tomorrow" Publish brand has changed the game in mens street wear by offering top of the line joggers. This is the first pair of joggers I bought and right when I tried them on I fell in love. Im literally going to order a couple more pairs once I am done with this post haha. These pants are by fair the most comfortable pair of bottoms I own and will without a doubt catch peoples eyes. You can find these joggers and other designs here. Thanks for viewing and be sure to keep up with Publish as they are doing big things in the street wear culture!

Nike Flyknit Racer

After seeing different color ways of the flyknits float around on Instagram, I knew right when I saw that Nike had a restock of them there wasn't a better time to buy my first pair of Nike Flyknit Racers. The shoes themselves are made from some of the best materials on the market today and are super comfortable. Nike Flyknits have a reputation of being super lightweight but they are even lighter than I expected. If you are looking to buy a versatile Nike trainer while feeling like you're wearing a pair of slippers look no further than the Flyknit Racer. Thanks to www.kicksdeals.com for the heads up on these. I'll be posting some outfit pictures wearing these beauties in the next week or so.

Sweater Weather…Kind of...

For those cloudy spring days where the weather can't seem to make up its mind a neutral colored cardigan is a must have. Yesterday (5/4/14) I coupled it with a graphic t-shirt from Rockwell by Parra and a bright colored pair of shorts from volcom. I grabbed the cardigan from H & M and I will be putting it to good use this spring. Thanks for viewing and if you're interested in the products I'm wearing the links are below!

Ecoalf x Cool Hunting Anorak

I was lucky enough to able to pick up this limited run of jackets made through the collaboration of Cool Hunting and Ecoalf. The jacket is made up of 60% fishing nets and 40% regular nylon so it is very eco-friendly. A lot of the reason I purchased this jacket was because it is made from recycled materials but I also love camouflage print on clothing. The green outer shell mixed with the camouflage printed zipper is a perfect combination. I highly recommend this jacket for those random muggy spring days with a light drizzle. The jacket is light enough to not make you hot but has the rain repellent material to keep you dry.
