01/19/10 POST(S) (TWO, COUNT 'EM TWO IN ONE DAY)!!

REACTIONS TO THE PREVIOUS OUTFIT:

The mix of formal, retro and casual was very well accepted. I could tell people were into that mix because of the vibe that I got from the event that I attended (which was local group, ATW's benefit for Haiti @ DEAN's Credit Clothing downtown.)

What's goin' on?!

I got some good stuff for you today, because I am going to post 2, count 'em, TWO outfits for today!

Both of these outfits incorporate some of the same pieces and also the same colors; however, the themes expressed here are totally different.

Let's see...



This was a genuinely cool choice that I attempted to make. The hat is a NEW ERA Cooperstown Collection cap for the now defunct team, the Montreal Expos. They were one of only two MLB teams that were from a different country (the other being the Toronto Blue Jays, also from the same country, Canada).
The shirt was a limited edition run of Houston's own, Free Press Summerfest, which took place on August 8-9, 2009.
The jeans are the pair of Lee Romano x RVCA in past posts.
The shoes are a pair of Nike Air Maxim 1s x Parra. This Dutch artist, not only did a full trifecta collab with Nike (i.e.- shoes, shirts, jackets), but he also is a clothing designer in his own right, for a clothing line called Rockwell. These shoes are the modern upgrade to the Nike Air Max 1s.

Now for the other outfit:



I like this outfit for one main reason: consistency all the way through, from head to toes. This cap is also from the New Era 59/50 Cooperstown Collection (Cooperstown, by the way, is the place where the Baseball Hall of Fame is located). This is one of the original colorways of the Philadelphia Phillies.
The shirt that I have on is a perfect compliment to the cap (shouts out go to a great friend of mine, Mr. Tominique Roots, for giving me the shirt). This is something that I could not possibly imagine finding, without getting hit up for some outrageous price at some "trendy" thrift shop.
I do not remember exactly where I bought these jeans, I have had them for so long.
These shoes are some of my favorites. They are a pair of Nike SB Blazers that I got on Black Friday from a store in the Heights called A-FRONT. They are colored in the University of Southern California style (scarlet and gold, home of the Trojans). Very fresh, comfortable shoes.
