ADIDAS X NEIGHBORHOOD (KAZUKI) WATERPROOF PEACOAT.

So I guess you all know that I've slowly migrated over to the Adidas camp as of late. I just feel they are much more consistent than Nike has been over the past few months. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a NIKEHEAD for life. It's just that Nike has been lacking in the WOW factor lately and have become predictable and often boring. Jordan Brand is Hurting (been like that for quite a while, except for TB3's and Space jams w/ outsoles that will yellow to piss after wearing it 10 times or more.) Kobe and Lebron are handling things on the Basketball court (God I love the Muppets commercials.) NSW puts out some Realness - Just checkout the Loopwheeler sweaters, M-65s, Tier 0 releases (Blazers, Patta Air max 1s) and Maharam collections to name a few.

Adidas on the other hand has put out some exciting releases. Mainly the Originals stuff that includes Kazuki (Neighborhood), David Beckham (designed by James Bond of Undefeated fame), Ransom collection, Five-two 3 artists series, Consortium releases (too many to name), etc.....

Here's a fine example of how Adidas is killing the game right now. There are so many Dope releases that came out this year in terms of both Sneakers and Clothing, not mention Gear. But in my opinion, the NEIGHBORHOOD (kazuki) X ADIDAS waterproof peacoat was the BEST item released in 2009.

Kazuki took a classic, essential staple (something everyone should own), the PEACOAT. And made it into something that is truly innovative, yet true to it's original form. How do I know this?? What's the proof?? I own 3 other Peacoats that I wear rotating on a daily basis. I have given them all up for this ULTIMATE peacoat. They have been put away and will eventually be up for sale or donated. That's how much I LOVE this Peacoat.

Here are the details if you were wondering why it was so special.

"Classic naval silhouette from the brand new Adidas Originals by Originals Kazuki Kuraishi collection. Taking the famous Peacoat design and adding a typically modern, Kuraishi twist, this version features zip closure pockets and waterproof and breathable Diaplex construction as well as the Neighborhood x Adidas logo. This is a great combination of old and new, and one of the best pieces from this impressive collection

What is Diaplex??

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announces the development of a whole new generation of "smart fabric" technology for the outerwear industry.

Taking aerospace technology and applying it to clothing may seem a far stretch but for the corporation that updated the Mars Rover, and develops giant airplane turbines and refrigerator "crisper" drawers, creating the future is a natural step.

Molecular design research led to the creation of the "shape memory polymer", a microscopic molecular structure that offers astounding new properties and performance for a whole variety of products.

This incredibly flexible, futuristic product changes its properties to meet the user's immediate needs. From flexi-grip spoons for arthritic hands, rigid intravenous tubing which softens internally to eliminate discomfort for hospital patients, to parka's that keep the skiers warm during rest but completely cool and dry during activity, DiAPLEX truly does it all!

DiAPLEX is the ultimate answer to the unique needs of apparel for the active outdoor sports. A shape memory polymer laminate attached to a variety of fashionable, yet functional fabrics, DiAPLEX adapts to whatever conditions it encounters, from a raging blizzard in Nepal to a sudden shower in Maui.

A major breakthrough, heads above the competition, DiAPLEX is simultaneously and completely waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

Here are some pictures of my very own Adidas X Neighborhood Peacoat. In Navy of course!!!

I was really excited with most of Adidas releases this past year. Mainly the Porter Nizzas, Xlarge Superstars, Nom de Guerre and Maharishi forums and Pochoir Superstars just to name a few. I look forward to what Adidas has to offer in 2010. It feels good to know that there will be freshness on the horizon. I'm truly excited. You too????

TOP 10 DUNKS FROM THE PAST WEEK.

SOME AWESOME DUNKS, BUT THE #1 IS SO WORTHY OF THE TOP POSITION. D-WILL WITH THE CROSSOVER AND THEN THE DUNK OVER FELLOW MONTREALER, JOEL ANTHONY. WOW!!

MY SUNS ARE BACK ON THE WINNING TRACK.

HILARIOUS....KRS-ONE!!! KOBE & LEBRON.

MY FAVORITE COMMERCIAL. Kobe and Lebron gaming on some reindeers (pun intended). KRS-ONE flowing over the commercial.

I AM LUCKY AND PROUD....ORAGE!!

I consider myself VERY lucky. I have the best Wife in the world. I have the cutest dog in the world, Magnum. My Family is really close and supportive. I have a dream job/career as a DJ. I have a HUGE sneaker collection that makes me really proud and happy @ the same time (over 400 + pairs). I am also VERY lucky to be the Official Orage DJ.

I get to travel with the Orage team and play some of the Orage events and trade shows. I have played in Las Vegas, Mammoth, Oslo and Munich. Some of the best gigs and times I've ever had. I also happen to get some real kool Orage gear that is perfect for our harsh Montreal winters. I'm a HUGE fan of their jackets, sweaters and accessories. The jackets are made with superior designs (cutting edge) and technical materials (industry leading) that stand-up to the Top Free skiers in the world. Orage jackets withstand harsh winter climates and rough and tough Free Ski riders.

Admittedly, I do not ski. But I do need to stay warm and protected during our VERY cold winters. Orage helps me get through it all in comfort and total warmth. Every year Orage gives me gear to rock and I am truly grateful. Here's some photos of the Awesome gear that I received.

Many thanks to the Orage crew for all the LOVE!!!
