ON & BEYOND

A year and a half ago, I would have laughed if you asked for my thoughts on heather…not the lady name, but the salt and pepper yarn that most of us associate to the sweaty, fat gym teacher in high school (with a whistle around his neck…important detail). Now, I’ve noticed that 95% of all the knits and layering pieces I’ve purchased in the passed year are in heather, all types of them, oatmeal heather, bark heather, cement heather…I can’t really put my hands on why this fascination has taken over my senses, but I can recall a specific season by Nom De Guerre, where they had 2 amazing pieces in heather: a high collar cardigan and a crewneck. I believe that was the turning point where I’ve forgotten about the vile gym teacher & strictly remember that NDG season as being one of their best.

ps: Lawrence. I’m still not sold on sweatpants, but I won’t cease to believe…

I had posted about these a couple of months ago, I’ve been a big fan of Lunars since it’s inception in 08. While the aesthetic features of the thick sole had to grow on me, the technological factor was impressive enough to win me over. They’ve finally released the black/white and I’ve finally gotten my hands on them. They are part of the World Cup Tier Zero collection, now Available at OFF THE HOOK & other select Tier Zero accounts.

“On the left, the white England piece was designed by James Jarvis. Keep your head up Beckham fans, and don’t worry, Wayne Rooney will handle things quite well. Believe me.

In the middle, the Black USA is designed by Mr. Cartoon. Our fellow neighbors will have a good run, since Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidor are in great shape.

On the right, in non traditional colors, the Brazil in grey, designed by Nunca. Easier to sport. Brazil’s advantage? Their bench can win the WC, let’s not talk about their starting line up. Some dream, some have nightmares…” -Angelo
