feeln the filas

August 14, 2007


Fila will be releasing in Japan two vintage sneakers. The Rialto Lo, that has been popular in the 80′s and 90′s will come back in three colorways – white, brown and red. The colors are mostly faded and the white is an off-white, to underline the vintage look. The mix of perforated and other premium leathers with the stitching details also looks good. The 70′s Fitness Hi comes in white and features nice logo details. Both sneakers will be released in a limited edition of 100 pairs at Flauge.

cazalism

July 6, 2007

ok, so i wanted to avoid doing this, because this is ‘like so typical’.. but i can’t help it. we shant deny cazals & how classic they are.. most people know cazal 607, the classic run-dmc specs.. but cari zalloni has provided us with a wide selection of amazingly designed frames from the 70s & 80s.. i know i’m missing quite a few good ones but i must say, this is quite a show in itself.

i know bboys like to keep it old school & rock gear from the 70s/80s.. but you are not down for the shorts.

you are not down.

throwback booty

June 30, 2007

current obsession:

70′s/80′s basketball shorts

call me old-fashion, but i’d love to see these on a man.. ha.. now especially with the summer here, i find these highly appropriate for myself. american apparel make excellent replicas of the old 70′s cut, with the exception of the modern low-rise style. the cotton & terri-cloth are great, but my personal favorite are the actual jersey material. they’re really “running shorts,” but i still like the idea of 1970s basketball gear. i also found a pair of 70s adidas running shorts with the original waist cut.

to complete the look, tube socks with stripes.. & i’m so down for these thigh-high’s.. forreal.

forreal.
