The Height of Materialism and Daydreams

Visvim Kiefer Two Tone

2009-12-10T03:13:00.000-08:00

I seriously wish I knew what Visvim was 2 years ago. My loss. Cause I really want them in Size 9-9.5.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE IT.

The Elias by Keep

2009-11-15T21:39:00.000-08:00

** Got it! **

The Elias in Houndstooth w/ Blue Check color style by Keep Shoes. I've only heard of this company casually before now and have never owned a pair until now. Well, I still don't know own it since shipping is going to take a few weeks... Like the sustainable corduroy tanish color and the checker accents. The strap is okay too...but will have to get used to it. Usual price is around $85, copped @ JackThreads for $40.

Keep was originally designed for women, but have since been marketed toward unisex wear (for shoes and some apparel). Their intention is to redact the bells and whistles found on most current clothing and keeping it simple but well constructed. No more clown business.

Gilt

2009-11-08T16:27:00.000-08:00

Gilt (read: guilt) is a new site in its beta phase. It's a premium online retailer that offers massive sales on the hottest luxury brands.

For now, membership is invite only and remains free at the moment...

Nike SB Dunk High Premium

2009-11-04T15:19:00.000-08:00

Sick ass colorway in suede for a classic model. Prettay, prettay, prettay, pretty good. Size 10.5.

Damn: $140

Buy it for me. (via Caliroots)

The Charles Boot by Vael

2009-10-29T01:37:00.000-07:00

Vael produces quality leather bags and shoes. This boot is no different. Their current release is inspired by Autumn (the season). These will look classy but relaxed with any darker blue or black/gray denim. Size 10.5-11, cuz of thick socks duh.

Damn: $109

Buy it for me. (via KarmaLoop)

Greedy Genius - Ocean Runner release

2009-10-27T15:01:00.000-07:00

To be released Black Friday 2009 with many other colorways. Boat-shoe inspired + comfort of a hi-top.

Upcoming raw selvage denim project

2009-10-27T13:12:00.001-07:00

Sneak peak...gotta discount, but still came out expensive...
Lunch on me if you know what brand/model that is :) Do NOT click on the picture to enlarge and cheat.

Will be posting pictures of wear. I ain't washing them for at least 6 months.

EDIT: the Imperials were returned due to terrible fit. A pair of Nudies Slim Jim Dry Broken Twill have replaced them and are being broken in instead.
EDIT2: I do not like the SJDBT either to be honest. The thighs are effin' tight as a mufucker. They will be sold (hopefully) and I will instead cop a Imperial Shearer (black) and a Edwin SEN Selvage Skinny (indigo).

Sigh.

Edwin SEN Selvage Skinny with Cinch

2009-10-27T02:20:00.001-07:00

Fuck your True Religion, Se7en, and Diesel obsession because you have no idea what good denim really is. Buying name brand jeans is easy and takes no knowledge nor style. Do yourself a favor and invest in a pair of raw denim and create your own personalized look.

Check out the Edwin SEN Selvage Skinny. Japanese-made, shuttle-loom, 13 oz, raw selvage denim. Premium shit, with an affordable price. Please don't start your first pair of raw denim with 45RPM's $800 jeans... Edwin's are vanity-sized so size 1-2 sizes down. Get me a 30x34 or 30x36.

Edit: clarification, Edwin apparently has these in both raw and one-wash form. Caliroots and Cultizm are two of the of the few selling it raw.

Damn: $178

Buy it for me. (via CaliRoots)

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski

2009-10-27T02:15:00.000-07:00

Tell me that's not clean as fuck. I rock size 10.5.

Damn: $112

Buy it for me. (via CaliRoots)

Gemina Seersucker Parka by Triumvir

2009-04-09T18:50:00.001-07:00

Really liking this. Gots to have it by August.

Damn: $170

Buy it for me. (via Triumvir or Karmaloop)

Undefeated x Converse Poorman Weapon

2009-04-06T18:25:00.001-07:00

I want. That's all I need to say. Size 10.

I have no idea how much they are yet. or where to get em, probably Undefeated? Drops May 15 at Undefeated's chapter store.

Gallia Long Sleeve Button-Up by Triumvir

2009-03-28T00:03:00.000-07:00

Just one of Triumvir's many new sick Spring 2009 offerings. Size medium in red please.

Damn: $80

Buy it for me. (via Triumvir)

Rigg Rainboots by Tretorn

2009-03-23T03:03:00.000-07:00

It's well into the season, but the rain shows no signs of letting up--literally and figuratively. I guess it might be a bit late to get them now...but I know Berkeley weather will make such a purchase useful.

Damn: $65

Buy it for me. (via Tretorn)

HAHA Air Yeezy!

2009-03-19T05:31:00.000-07:00

My boy Kanye is lacing up the Air Yeezy. Ignore the fool in the Bulls short shorts. Haha, they just released the Air Yeezy in the black and glow-in-the-dark green (sole) colorway for the club scene. Rave anyone?

These look fresh right? I know I can't pull 'em off, but I just wanted to show!

Another sample of a different colorway up close. Just one of many. 'Ye doing pretty well for himself, his name on a pair of Nikes, his new Pastelle line, his new denim line, his LV collab...

Nike SB Stefan Janoski

2009-03-19T05:29:00.000-07:00

Whaaaa? Boat shoes? Daaaam. Haha they drop in November 2009. Size 10.5 pleeease.

Link and price up later.

Nike SB Dunk High Venom

2009-03-17T18:47:00.000-07:00

** Got it! **

Yee. Formerly called the SB Dunk High Stormtroopers, thank God they changed the name.

Damn: $95

Buy it for me. (find it anywhere online, just Google it)

Parka Capuche by A.P.C.

2009-03-17T18:06:00.000-07:00

Just a lightweight easy-to-wear jacket with a hood. Big buttons and pockets, and nice detail.

But with A.P.C. (French-based), you probably won't be able to afford it!

Damn: $ ???

Buy it for me. (who the fuck knows where they sell A.P.C. besides Bloomingdales and online stores?)

Mechanics Jacket by Operations

2009-03-17T17:47:00.000-07:00

Not baaad. This is actually waist-length. Diggin the angled front pockets. Good fit.

Damn: $484.00

Buy it for me. (via Tobi)

Charcoal Ake Slip-On by Zuriick

2009-03-11T18:17:00.000-07:00

Why not get slip-on from Vans? Well I like a bit of non-conformity. Zuriick messes around with the color of the midsole as well as the sole. The cut of the shoe is also different from Vans... And frankly I just don't like the $200 Comme des Garcons ones or the $18 Urban Outfitter canvas one. Go get yourself a pair; they come in yellow, white, and black! I rock size 10 US.

Damn: $68

Buy it for me. (via Oak)

Baracuta x Junya Watanabe Spring Jackets

2009-03-11T02:20:00.000-07:00

I am joooockin' for these spring jackets. Two colorways, I dig the blue, but it does look pretty common. Yeah either one's fine, I can fit 40R :)

Damn: £360.00

Buy it for me. (via Baracuta)

Linda Farrow x Raf Simons x Oki-Ni Special Edition Sunglasses

2009-03-05T13:25:00.000-08:00

Uh well, they're limited to 50 pairs. So from an economic point-of-view (fuck you I just got out of my midterm), they must be in high demand, snob factor and all.

Damn: £185.00

Buy it for me? (via Oki-Ni)

Digging This.

2009-03-05T03:01:00.000-08:00

While on break during yet another all-nighter.

Relwen's Spring 2009 Collection should be good if these two are indication of the other works about to come. Back to our agrarian roots!

And. Is it me or does Fall/Winter 2008 have a lot of similar garments... I guess farmers have no creativity.

On break...

2009-03-04T03:52:00.000-08:00

Damn: $110

Buy it for me. (via MyWardrobe)

Buffalo Check Plaid Scarf by Urban Outfitters

2009-02-28T04:10:00.001-08:00

Apparently getting buzzed gets me in the mood to be slightly gay and rock scarves.

I'm sober now and I don't want it anymore.

Edit: Okay I lied, I want it still. And it's only $10.

Damn: $10

Buy it for me? (via UrbanOutfitters)

Just a...canvas belt?

2009-02-28T04:02:00.000-08:00

Damn: $34

Buy it for me: (Via Boden)

BKE USA Belt

2009-02-28T03:51:00.000-08:00

Damn: $98

Buy it for me. (via J.Crew)

Chester Wallace Canvas Tote Bag

2009-02-26T11:04:00.001-08:00

Damn: $98

Buy it for me: (via Project No. 8)

Hold up, what's the fussss?

2009-02-26T10:57:00.000-08:00

Why's everyone always jockin' on Kanye? "Oh that nigga's gay." or "He can't sing with that autotune bullshit."

Get off his nutsssss. How many rappers or MCs you know that can collab with Louis V? How many hip-hop artists you know that won 39 music awards and still has time to be an entrepreneur (Fatburger & Pastelle)? Did I mention he created a hit record singing while his jaw was wired shut?

Peep it. (via HighSnobiety.com)

Damn: $120

Buy it for me. (via Oakley.com)

Buy it for me. (via somewhere at Barneys NY)

2009-02-26T10:38:00.000-08:00
