FOOTWEAR OBSESSION-AIR FORCE 1 HAZELNUT

Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Deconstruct “Hazlenut” -These things are beautiful and classic. According to Nicekicks they are available right now. None of that cheap leather/pleather crap on so many of the new Air Forces. This is premium. They dont have the lining but it should not be a problem. The first no lining sneaker I copped was the Undefeated Dunks and I didnt have any discomfort. These are not flashy but they make a statement that you know quality when you see it. Now I just have to see it in person. Pictures can be decieving it times.

BOOTS FOR THE SPRING SUMMER?

For some strange reason, I have been interesting in purchase boots lately. Its kinda strange considering its about to be spring and summer time and most people are probably buying  sneakers,flip flops etc. I got the boot fever a couple weeks ago and copped a pair of Timberlands. Dont know the name but they look like this.

Then a week ago I was waiting to meet a friend and decided to check out Nordstrom Rack since it was in the same shopping center. I saw these Cole Haan boots and has inspired by the craftsmenship and quality. The color were rich and they seem so well made. I didnt want to make a impulse purchase but I have been thinking of them every since I left the store. I guess I could wear them with one of our pockets tees in the spring.
To cop or not to cop is the question.

DESIRE-Blaser x Land Rover Defender 110 SE

I am not a big car guy but I love boxy trucks. I saw this customized Land Rover by Blaser and had to post it. The body style is similar to the Benz G Class but I like the Land Rover Defender more. Sometimes luxury doesnt always have to be pretty it can come in the form of ruggedness.

NEW MUSIC -RAPPER VERBIAGE DECISONS

http://hulkshare.com/wfafobjk0gyi
A major part of what we do and our brand inspiration is music. We love all music but hip-hop is our main course on a musical menu. We know producer B3 personally but never really realized he was also a rapper. He posted a song he did called "Decision" with his rap moniker Verbiage. We heard the took and was blown away. Cant wait to hear his full project, this is just a teaser. Check out Decision by Verbiage. Dude has us inspired.

HOLIDAYS

You gotta love the week between Christmas and New Years. People get to spend time with their family, friends, love ones. It's also that time of the year to reflect on the past year and also what you need to do for a new year. It is really a time of self reflection-what we can all improve on.

SNEAKERCON NYC DEC 10TH

STOCKS AND BONDS APPAREL was an official vendor of SNEAKERCON NYC last week.We did the SNEAKERCON DC show in August and decided to make the NYC move too.It was crazy. We met so many people and vendors. We cant wait for the next event. One of the major goals of our brand for 2011 was to get more exposure and get out the masses and we feel we have really done that. Trying to close out the year strong and set new goals in order to reach higher heights.

GREAT QUOTE-RISK

"Great things happen with risk"-Kevin Charles Stewart
I always find great inspiration quotes and words to live by from music or while reading interviews and blogs. Words to live by and apply to personal life and business. I came a great brand by Kevin Charles Stewart and while checking out the blog. The above quote was just straight forward and honest. It inspired a tshirt design that I need to work on.
