Supreme x Thom Browne

What a great collaboration between the famous fashion designer Thom Browne and the power house of street fashion Supreme. Im really trying hard to find a shirt like this without breaking the bank. This one is somewhere around $185...... A little to high for me but still a shirt im going to try to copy.

Distant Relatives Tour

Both Nas and Damien Marley are part of some of my favorite music artists of all time. Together they make some seriously good music.

AdiPlayer

I like to find discounted stuff. Anything; it can be clothes, shoes, food, anything. I remembered today about AdiPlayer, which gets you some deep discounts on Adidas tennis stuff. Its a website for you to purchase Adidas tennis gear if you fall into their preferred player qualities such as top 25 Junior player, any college player, or pro. All you have to do is have the correct information that proves you fit these qualities and you also have to buy a player package. This package comes with a few shirts, shorts, accessories, and 1 pair of shoes for around $240 ( retails for $400). After that you can buy any other that items that are all read at 40-60% off of retail price. A pretty good deal but I don't know if I can give up Nike.

Moetown meets Hippie

I was recently reminded of one of my newly favorite artists Mayer Hawthorne. His music is suprisingly different then what you expect by looking at him. Strangely his music to me sounds like Moetown mixed with some 60's music. Interestingly this was not his original sound. He only started to make "moetown" music recently but, was originally a DJ/hip hop artists.

Got a deal with Yonex USA

I recently got the contact of the Yonex rep and asked if I can get a college player package. This usually mean you get rackets and a bag discounted from the company. I obtained the documents from him earlier this week for the player package and this is what I get for $375. (all this not discounted in around $600)

- 3 rackets of my choice

- A choice of 1 bag

- A practice shirt

- And a stencil kit

The kool or as some people think as strange, is that I have to sign a 1 year contract with the Company. I think this is soooooo kool and it makes me feel like a pro. I have a while ago wanted to get a college player package from wilson but, the wait list was too long so I stopped and I never had to sign a contract for them. So I think this is a better deal.

There are some terms and conditions I do have to follow. (This is the actual contract)

1. The team member will use Yonex Rackets, bags, and/ or accessories exclusively, and will conduct themselves in an exemplary manner while representing Yonex Corporation USA by caring the below mentioned items in their capacity as a team members.

2. The Yonex Logo will be stenciled on all of my rackets stings at all times.

3. It is understood that Yonex USA will ship all team yonex product to the designated school.

4. I will not sell or give away any equipment furnished to me by Yonex USA

5. It is understood that Yonex USA is not responsible for lost/stolen equipment.

It really surprised me when I first read "Stencil on all rackets at all times". I though that is a little bit to far because I will def not remember to do it all the time. I am also concerned about if I have to wear there clothing in all my tournament. Its going to be pretty hard for me to give up my nike obsession. Although I do get a pretty good discount on their shoes and clothing.

I will defiantly write more about this when I do have the money for the package and receive it.

Sperry's

I love Sperry Topsider boat shoes. I have a pair of brown leather Sperry's and they are an amazing shoe. They are comfortable and are defiantly a must have shoe as of lately for anyone that follows Men's fashion which I try to dauber in. I will defiantly be getting a pair of these new color ways that just come out.

Photo's from todays match (v.s COD)

Today we played College of the Dessert and lost 3-6.....It sucks that we only lost by a few close 3rd set tiebreakers but, we tried hard. Here are some photos I took from today. I really dont like most of them. Most of the pics I take at home games are very hard to take. The way the courts are arranged and the fences make for bad photo's. The real good photos I ever get at our home courts are from Gabor's court because I can get a nice side view. I tried the whole match to get a good sliding pic of Emmanuel but, to get a good frontal pic of him doing it I have to be father away. O well, they are what they are.

Nike tennis shoes

I am an avid fan of all nike product, especially shoes. Ive found some secret pics of the upcoming color ways for the Nike spring, summer, and fall. Enjoy

Ivan Ljubicic

So happy Ivan Ljubicic won the BNP Paribas open today. He really diserved it after beating Djockovic and Nadal all in one tournament. Also I am extremely happy that he beat Andy Roddick. Ive never really liked Roddick because of his behavior on court and the way he play. He yells and whines at the officials and cusses them out every time they make a call that was only in by a few millimeters. Most every American loves Andy Roddick's game and its not all that great. If you break on of his service games in each set and hold your serve then you pretty much have the match. He's all serve and a ok forehand.

Ljubicic did everything perfect and I have never seen anyone serve that well in a match. Way to go Ivan Ljubicic!

American Apparel ads

Everyday (if I have time on school mornings) I do the same morning routine . I pee, eat breakfast, depending how I feel I might make a cappuccino, groom, and most importantly I check my websites. This includes my Facebook, email, Hypebeast, Complex, and the weather. Ever time I check hypebeast to catch up on the latests fashion trends I always get distracted by the American Apparel Ads.

This picture is actually trying to sell socks lol. This picture caught my attention today.... I will scroll through hypebeast like this. kool shoes, kool shoes, that shirt sucks, American apparel addddddddddddddddddd, and forget what I was doing. Pretty much the sexiest ads for a clothing brand that I know of. I wish all ads were like American Apparel ads. The world would be so much better. I guess I have American Apparel ads ADD.

Racket Package

I want to get a new tennis racket but, I want them for cheap. Because I play tennis in college I can get a huge discount from racket companies that most people can not get. I want to upgrade my racket to its newest version; the RDiS 200.

It so pretty!! way better than my beat up prison shanks that I got now. The problem is that Yonex might only offer sponsorships for college players ranked really high but, I am not ranked very high..... If I have to buy them through tennis-warehouse then I will have to pay $179(each) x 3+= $537 + tax and also - the 15% discount I get so I will be paying a lot. If I get the package deal from Yonex then I will have to only pay $350-400 for the 3 rackets + a bag+ a bunch a extra kool stuff. Hopefully I will get the deal.

My first Blog

So, This is my first blog! Pretty much I decided to make this so I can post to everyone all of this kool things I find and so I have something to do when im bored. I have no idea what I am actually to do with a blog besides post things for people to see.
