Clothing Items/Accessories I’d Like to Own

Bags and Pouches

So firstly, I’ve been seeing a lot of similar bags/pouches surfacing around the internet and I really like how they look. I’d use it to hold simple things like hand cream, phone, wallet, etc. and because it hangs from your neck or on your shoulder, it’s a lot easier toLe-21eme-Adam-Katz-Sinding-Backstage-Off-White-Paris-Fashion-Week-Mens-Fall-Winter-2018_AKS5077-900x1350 access than if you were wearing a backpack for example. Unfortunately the one seen in the picture is from Off-White and was only given out to people who attended their fashion show.

Trousers

Lately I’ve been looking for a pair of wide trousers. these Menswear | Wide Cotton Trousers, Blackones, form Olive Clothing look good and I really like how they drape and sit on the shoes nicely. I’ve had my Dickies trousers for about three years now, I love wearing them, but because they are of a stiffer fabric, they are not as flowy as I’d want them to img_4327-1be and the crease down the middle isn’t going away even after three years which shows their quality and durability even though they cost me 30 dollars. As well as that, I’d want to have more interesting trousers like these Stan Ray hickory stripe pants.

Shoes

And lastly, I want to include some color into my outfits and I thing converse-chuck-taylor-all-star-70-ox-_green-black-egret_-161443c-1-osthe easiest way for me to do it is with colorful shoes. Here img_4326-1I put some Converse and since I have the Chicagos  (yay!), it would be nice to get a pair of Jordan 1s Storm Blue. Probably my second favorite colorway after the Chicago 1s because my favorite color jordan-1-storm-blue-white-2is blue but due to having too many blue colored clothes, these are in second place.

 

 

 

 

 

How One Man Popularized The Air Jordan 1 Silhouette Once Again With a Couple Of Modifications And a Lot Of Hype

Posted on by hansvanderlindn

About a year ago now, a famous designer Virgil Abloh released a collection in collaboration with a popular shoe brand Nike which was named “The Ten”. The collection consisted of nine Nike shoes and a Converse with a twist to them. The shoes were split into two sub-collections – “Ghosting” and “Revealing”. The “Ghosting” shoes

“THE TEN” collection

used some translucent materials  and “Revealing” meant some of the aspects of the shoe were intentionally unfinished, with raw edges and stitching holes just left there with no actual stitching inside.

Today I’m only going to be talking about probably the most hyped shoe in the collection – the Air Jordan 1. Not long after its release, shoe with a retail price of $190 was reselling  for almost a thousand and the price was rapidly rising from there on. Today, as of writing this, a deadstock shoe size 8.5 US resells for $3,200 on StockX. But it’s not only the Off-White x Nike shoe that is rising in price like crazy, it’s almost every other Jordan 1, especially the “Chicago” colourway which inspired Virgil’s version. Obviously, Jordans have been around for a while and still were resold for much higher their retail price but with the release of “The Ten” the demand grew exponentially and the shoe became even more expensive.

The original Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” released in 1985. Without the problem of the midsole crumbling, the Jordan 1s from 1985 and 1994 are still worn by collectors and people who can afford a pair of OG Jordans.
