AIR CARNIVORE!!!


Wow, I know someone that is all over this pair. My man Jeremy Bresnen of Alena and Hummel Fame, is gonna LOVE this like a Fat Kid on a Reeses pieces candy.

You know I still got my OG pairs. Both color ways are in my collection. Nike is brave for putting this 1 out since it ain't a model for the masses.

GOTSOLE VISITS "OFFICE FORMERLY KNOWN AS.....


So Kranz and I stopped by to see our vintage master Dr. Shapiro!! This guy has Vintage frames on lockdown. I was seriously impressed by his knowledge and selection of vintage frames. He's a serious GURU when it comes to all things vintage (boomboxes, clothing, sneakers, etc.....). Checkout his website here.

PATTA AIR MAX 1 - 5TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION QUICKSTRIKE.




Pretty good release by Patta. I still prefer the green/grey/white, the most classic looking of the Patta releases. These have really good materials and colors, but are too busy in my opinion. Color blocking is a bit too dark and it makes the shoe look heavy.

NEW VIDEO FEATURE ON THE MONTREAL GAZETTE!!!

NEW NIKE NYLON VANDALS.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Nylon Vandals. The OG Silver joints were insane. I'm actually looking for a pair if anyone has 1 in size 9. These are pretty nice. A NEON pair for the people craving attention and a more subtle pair in beige for the low key cats. I would definitely rock the more subtle pair cuz I'm a more like a brother on the sly.

SUBMARINER HOMAGE WATCHES......NEXT.


Not really feeling these @ all. The execution is pretty bad. Enough with the skulls and crossbones already.

OMG....TURRIBLE.

This is REALLY bad. What's up with the Red midsole. YUCKY. Next please.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.


I don't play guitar, but this is sooooooo NICE.

OAKLEY ELITE PROGRAM. C-SIX!





I had the privelige of getting a preview of the OAKLEY Elite program. Thanks to the Canada Oakley crew for the Sushi and the Veuve Clicquot. I was seriously impressed by the R&D put into designing and making of the C-Six. Only Oakley can do this type of program and have it so Exclusive. "I remember asking someone from the Oakley camp, "why make an ultra-limited, super-expensive, unique carbon-fibre pair of sunglasses that would go over many peoples heads (including Oakley fans). The C-Six would only be appreciated by a handful of people, mostly people who can afford the $4500 price tag. FYI, only 4 pairs will be available in Canada (that's how limited they are.) The pair that is suppossed to come to the Montreal is already SOLD. Apparently the buyer has a website that catalogs every single piece of Oakley sunglasses ever made. Now that's serious.

"For a brand like Oakley, the eyewear purveyor has been on a constant journey of innovation. Likened to the world of F1 racing, developing technologies and products may be counter-intuitive on a retail level but the R&D inevitably pave the way in a manner which will pay for itself down the line as the innovations make their way into the product stream. An upcoming new release includes the C-Six. Made entirely of carbon fiber, the shades are as you would assume extremely light and durable. Retail price is set at an exorbitant $4,500 CAD (approximately $4,253 USD).


OUT THE BOX - GERMAN SNEAKER DOCUMENTARY.

HUMAN HIGHLIGHT FILM X PACKER SHOES X REEBOK.





I wish I was @ Packer for the Reebok Pump release. Dominique Wilkins was a serios baller man and deserves to be in the NBA top 50 players of all-time. I NEVER rocked the pumps, but I can appreciate the design and it's cult following.

ADIDAS X NEIGHBORHOOD WATERPROOF PEACOAT.


You know I absolutely LOVE technical pieces that change/update classic staple pieces that should be in everyone's closet. A Peacoat is a great example of a classic jacket that every man should own. Well this AWESOME piece by Neighborhood is exactly that. Classic Peacoat with new Technology (Taped Seams, Diaplex waterproofing) that performs and changes the look of your everyday, run or the mill Peacoat. Warning, this jacket will break the bank, but it's worth every penny. I reserved mine @ the Montreal Adidas Original store. Available in 2 colors, Black and Navy. I opted for the Navy since it's the OG color that is chosen and issued by most Naval Academies around the world. I will give an in depth look @ this jacket when I get it. Stay tuned.

Checkout DJ Neil Armstrong rocking the Peacoat @ the RANSOM X ADIDAS Launch party.
