ON & BEYOND

off the hook

Photography : Color Processing

I’ve been testing out some cross color processing. This is Simon and he is wearing the latest Spring collection by 10Deep with a pair of Gourmet Tre C canvas sneakers.  Leave me a comment with your email if you need some some tutorial help on achieving this film effect!

Introduction: Oakley Elite Collection

Mark had the courtesy of inviting the crew and I to a private first-hand viewing of Oakley`s bread and butter. ”A Pinnacle in Technology and Design” (the collections subtitle) might have slightly been an understatement as my eyes and hands were rooted by the ensemble of gems. As Mark explained, Oakley, much like car companies, have a need to push the envelope even though the revenue may not justify the cost of their prototypical projects. One prototype might inspire another. Look at it this way; here I am documenting this revolution in technologies for the e-world to see…so at the end of the day it’s marketing. And the final result…is probably very fructifying.

”Sometimes we do it just because we can.” may sound a little pretentious…but if I could, I probably would.

The main attraction of the night was a C-Six made of pure carbon fibre…a material that is thinner than human hair yet stronger than high tensile steel. Evidently, these aren’t made for the everyday cool guy looking for a pair of frogskins…they retail for an impressive sum of 4500$ CAD.

on and beyond READY FOR WINTER

Kinda stole this idea from Johnny. At least I’m admitting to it. Here’s my little shop guide for the snow season. Had to switch up the wardrobe a little this weekend because of the amount of snow and wind outside, so here are, for me, some essentiels pour l’hiver (winter must-have’s, you fucking blokes) Oh and p.s. to all you hypebeasts reading my blog, I know you do, Don’t give me shit about brand synergy…This isn’t an ensemble. PEACE

Oh, one more thing, I tend to use my ipod alot in winter because it’s so gloomy outside, here’s a mix to top off everything, you are welcomed: J rocc – Syndromes 2

one.

I have been shaving my hair since the 7th grade and trust me, it gets cold up there. Cashmere for my head please. Can’t half step on your scarf game, never know when you might need to wrap it around your main squeeze to impress her.

two.

I don’t give a shit, Oxfords are all year-round, I’ll wear that shit to sleep. “Thomas Pink. They make shirts. UK shit. Butter.”-Paul 107. And if you are on a financial slope, then L.L.Bean. Period.

five.

You gotta have chinos to go with an oxford, that’s just how it works. It’s like having mashed potato’s with a steak. Beer with pizza. Cheese in a burger. I could go on for ages…

six.

You knew I would suggest a pair of Redwings. I still don’t know if I’m down with the little tongue flap coming on to the toe cap on those Vendor Boots…But that wheat color is just bananas with the royal blue laces.
