I would like this hat, sweeet!

Rockwell by Parra Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
Illustrator and artist Parra releases his spring/summer 2010 Collection for his brand Rockwell. Full of hand drawn detail and quality the collection includes t-shirts and crew necks and the pieces are all broken down into color and black & white versions. The new season is set to hit retailers later this month.
Benny Gold x Hersk Days of Gold
Scott Hersk (hersk.com) lent his hand for the Days of Gold shirt. He and I have enjoyed more skate sessions together than I can remember. This design is inspired by our skate adventures and the retro 80s colors really add to the nostalgia. I love how the vintage skateboard products and spots create the letters of the design.
Bodega x Converse Poorman Weapon, ish is REAL!
I’m hoping when my check comes I could order these if they not sold out already. I wanted to get some some boots for the rainy spring season but these would be better to open up with. Bodega and Converse have come together again and created these. Transforming the original silhouette into a super high-top that can be worn rolled down..which has been done before..but hasn’t looked this good.
A release is set for Saturday, March 13th at Bodega. The shoe will come in a custom ballistic nylon case lined with shearling. An etched flask will be included for those over 21 years of age. This pack retails for $120 USD, is limited to 100 sets and contains all the elements necessary for surviving the long winter and wet spring.

UNIQLO Spring 2010 Men’s Lookbook
A great price point label, UNIQLO, presents their latest lookbook for Spring 2010. As usual, many well cut, well made goods to be had at reasonable prices – granted you have access to a store. I still gotta fish around for something cool, something different. The parka above looks to be a solid choice for spring outerwear. Olive is good. I’m expecting to see the trend this spring.
Vans Vault Spring/Summer 2010 Switchback LX
I might have to treat myself to both colorways – y’all know how I love my earth tones.
This Holiday season the Vans Vault Switchback has been a welcome addition and was well received. For Spring/Summer 2010 the sneaker returns in two colorways. One comes in an aged brown leather, the other one in a light brown/dark brown leather colorway, both looking very solid. It’s the perfect sneaker for Spring, up until it gets warmer.
DQM x Adidas Vintage Rod Laver
DQM x Adidas Vintage Rod Laver, $80
Price-friendly and easy on the eyes. If that’s a sign of the times, the times aren’t so bad. Featured in Complex Magazine: August/September 2009 issue
Ye JUNYA WATANABE COMME des GARCONS
I like the pin-stripes on the vest, very nautical. Correct me if I’m mistaken, but this clothing line is very eclectic-styled, by that I mean, the designer mixes different styles & textures to make it its own. DOPE!

Creative Recreation
Creative Recreation 2 Strap Dicoco
I’ve been wanting these sneakers for the longest, maybe since September/October. You can find them at Urban Outfitters online, but never in this color. HELP!
These sneakers fit into my style of simplicity, one solid color, which can be accessorized with other pieces. Nicole keeps telling me I can’t go out and buy “outfits,” I need to buy things I can accessorize with. I got it now Nicole. LOL. Anyway, these sneakers are definitely on my shopping list, if I can ever find them.
Bizy Dreaming x Boston
Bizy Dreaming is planning another move; more promo sample t-shirts. We’re ordering another small load – for sampling purposes. We’ll be ordering in bulk once we get the “okay” from our printer, Ransom Ink. Anyway, let’s save that discussion for another post.
After I finish up some branding materials, such as, business cards, flyers, and stickers for guerrilla marketing (Yup! Guerrilla marketing) and we get more promo shirts, the Bizy Dreaming family is taking a road trip to New England.
I got the insight from Complex Magazine – Bodega, Laced, Relic, and Stel’s Inc. are among the top stores to shop at in Boston.
Who’s rollin’?
Near Luxury
Volkswagen CC, MSRP $26,790
A luxury-inspired car with a reasonable price tag, it’s a buyers market. “Volkswagen coined the term ‘near luxury’ for its CC.” Debuting at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, clearly not a coup, but that’s what Volkswagen is calling it. The CC is based around the existing Passat, sharing platform, drive and much more, but the CC appears lower, sleeker – sportier. Let’s simulate the economy!
Nike Blazer
Nike Blazer Varsity Red Hi Suede Vintage, $110
Suede hi top Nike Blazers with vintage detailing. Worn-in fabric, pilled laces, slightly discolored midsole. Contrast laces, swoosh and panel at back with logo print.
