by TIM DESSAINT Your swim shorts have been stored away to the top shelf of your closet, you’re having to wear a jacket outside for the first time in months, and you calendar is now devoid of pool parties and barbeques. Yep, fall has arrived. But before you rearrange your closet and debate what you’re missing to be properly equipped for this frankly awesome season, stick on through because we are going over my top fall essentials. This list was a tough one to make. There are so many great fall pieces that I think deserve a place in a man’s wardrobe, so to narrow it down was not an easy feat. But after a lot of pondering and debating, the list has been made. Now keep in mind, this is only my personal preference of fall essentials. There are other great items that can be used in this season that may even suit your wardrobe better. And not to mention that you can obviously have more than “x” items in a wardrobe. Here are my top fall essentials. Unless you just came out of the pool, soaking wet clothes and hair is never a good look. Although you should always carry an umbrella with you, having a wearable, functional raincoat will come in handy during these often and very wet months. The Scandinavian brand Rains makes some of my favorite raincoats with a minimal design in a variety of colors. From subtyle neutrals to bold, vibrant colors. A quality longline raincoat will help keep your clothes intact during those pouring

shower days. The right design can be worn with anything from the most casual outfits to even your business suit. One of the reasons why I love fall is that you get to take your leather boots out of storage. Whether you prefer Chelsea’s, lace-ups, or chukkas, leather boots are an ideal go-to shoe for the season. So choose your weapon, stand tall (literally), and walk out the door like the brute rocking badass you are. The chelsea boots I wear are from a French brand called Finsbury. I’ve had them for years and they’re great. But I believe they don’t ship to many countries internationally, but there are more brands that are readily available around the world. Wool. Trousers. These will be the only pants mentioned. Not because I think you should only wear wool in fall on the contrary, but because jeans, chinos, and otehr types of pants don’t feel as specific to this particular season. Let’s be honest. You can wear your favorite pair of slim jeans all year round, but wool trousers? Not so much. To me, they feel very representative of fall. They make me think of orange leaves, warmth, coziness, a candle lit table, and a loungy cocktail bar. Wool trousers are exactly the type of pants I see myself wearing in fall. Colorwise, I think they look best in neutrals like grey, black, or navy. But you can also try and be a little more adventurous with deep rich colors like bottle green or burgundy.

If you thought of me of the guy who always wore whit t-shirts, think again. Because my YouTube and Instagram are about to be populated by a sea of turtlenecks. In the category of things you wear under a jacket in cold weather, turtlenecks are at the top of my list. Neutral colors are a safe and versatile bet, but if the September blues aven’t caught up to you and you’re feeling particularly joyful, don’t be afraid to splash on some color. These merino turtlenecks from Uniqlo are my go-to choice. However, if your bank account is a little more lenient, the chasmere varient is a luxury that is well worth it. The bomberjacket is a menswear staple that takes both boxes function and form. You can easily dress it up or down as needed. Layer it on top of a turtleneck if it’s a particularly cold day or just over a simple t-shirt if you’ve been blessed with a sunny day. An MA1 varient from Everlane is also made from recycled plastic which I think is a great first step in making out wardrobes more sustainable. Moisturizer. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. A moisturizer is not a piece of clothing. But you know what? I care about you guys and if you’re going to be looking your best self this fall and winter, it doesn’t stop at just your clothes. Arctic winds and cold temperatures can wreck havoc on your skin and before you know it, you face is going to look all dried up and wrinkly. So if you haven’t already, start implimenting a

good moisurizer in your daily routine. Applying a good moisturizing night cream before bed is always a good idea because your skin tends to absorb creams better during the night when it switches to repair mode. The pros of fall: Orange leaves, tutlenecks, and mulled wine. The cons: Rain, mud, and terrible weather. Which means your pristine white common projects might see their lifespan shorten if you keep wearing them regardless of the weather forecast. In order to keep your white uppers white and your suede Derby stain-free, invest in a dark leather pair of sneakers. Leather is much easier to clean than suede and a dark color like black, navy, or grey, will ensure that they’re gonna survive the next six months. I hope you enjoyed, my friends. I wish you an amazing day, guys, and I will see you in the next one. Peace. Fall Wardrobe Essentials | Top 10 Basics, September 22, 2019, Tim Dessaint on YouTube.

by DANIEL SIMMONS I’m Daniel, and I hope you guys are having a good day, dressing well and getting stuff done. Let’s get into how to style the Doc Marten Original III low top in black. So you guys probably know by now that I am a huge fan of Doc Martens. I wear them in heaps of outfits, in lookbooks, on Instagram photos, I wear them all the time. I think they are such a great harmless shoe. You can’t go wrong with a standard pair of black Doc Martens. This is how I like to style them as opposed to this is the way you should style them. You can style these shoes in so many different ways. There’s a huge background of different kind of like groups and things like that over the years so you kind of can’t go wrong. So with that being said guys, let’s dive into the history of the shoe, then the outfits.

Doc Martens are renound for along with the yellow stitching along the outside of the shoe.

All right guys, first we have a little bit of history, a little bit of background on the Doc Martens shoes. Doc Martens came around by actually Klaus Märtens, who was a doctor in the Germany army in World War II, hence the name Dr. Martens, Doc Martens, you get it. So pretty much he injured his foot while he was on leave while he was skiing. He started to realize when he was on leave while he had his injured foot, that his traditional standard issue boots in the army were just too uncomfortable with his injured ankle. He pretty much customized a pair of shoes with an air cushioned sole, which is pretty much what the

So in styling these low top III shoes, I keep in mind that they are a bit more of an edgier shoe, so I like to have a balance between smartwear and edgy and just bring them together. So starting with the pants, there are two types of pants that I like to wear. One is a nice pair of jeans. Typically, the jeans that I personally wear with these pair of shoes are these nice blue wash denim jeans, which are a bit more of a relaxed fit. This kind of gives the whole outfit a bit more of a vintage vibe, which I feel goes perfect with Doc Martens. Now the other pants I wear are smart cropped pants. I just feel like the silhouette of the

Fast forward wuite a few years, guys, we’ve seen the shoes in so many different types of groups from skinheads to punk to the grunge fashion scene in the 90’s and musicians and so on and so on. It’s literally covered so amny groups and so many different type of people. These days, guys, you can litereally see Doc Martens being styled from like school uniforms all the way to high end fashion. Doc Martens have now worked with CDG (Comme des Garçons) and BAPE. You know, like hypebeast brands, so they’re literally just covering all areas and that’s why they are such a timeless perfect shoe. So enough of the history lesson, let’s get into how to style these shoes.

pants and the shoe just go together perfectly because obviously these low top ones are a bit more of a dressier shoe. It adds that kind of like smart streetwear vibe while still having that little bit of edginess into your outfit from the Doc Martens. Now when it does come to mart trousers, literally I would say any color and any style of smart pants will go with these Doc Martens. So with T-Shirts, any color and any type of t-shirt will go well with the whole entire outfit. I do stick to more of a boxier fit that’s just good. That’s just kind of my style. Obviously tucking it in a little bit more goes along with that vibe of that edier streetwear look. As far as colors, like I said, any colors do go. I still personally go for a little bit more black. I like my darker colors and more deep saturated colors. Now with shirts, you can definitely mess with them with this whole type of outfit. I put on a faded yellow and black stiped shirt. It just adds more of the edgier look to the entire outfit. I would also add this reclaimed vintage shirt from Asos with the blue jeans again, which just goes with that whole vintage aesthetic to the whole entire outfit. Then finally, you also have your overshirts. I have one from COS. I feel

like this goes excellent with your whole entire outfit. It stays away from vintage, it stays away from from kind of like edgy, and it puts you in a nice smart streetwear vibe, which should be perfect for going to dinner and things like that and it’s such a minimal outfit. Next is how to style them with hoodies. You could have a back hoodie with the blue jeans which goes together so well. You could also wear them with the black smartpants and a red hoodie. It still adds a little bit of a more bold statement to your outfit and it still goes together so well with Doc Martens. It’s kind of like having a smart casual outfit but being hella comfortable all at the same time. And finally up to the jackets. Denim jackets and overcoats are pretty much my go-to types of jackets that I wear with Doc Martens. You can’t go wrong with a denim jacket. These with black smartpants and the Doc Martens go together so nice. The overcoats is much more of a dressier outfit and it just balances it so well with this edgier shoe. And there we have it. That is how I like to style the Doc Marten low tops. Do you like Doc Martens? If you don’t try them out! HOW TO STYLE DR.

So what is “drip,” huh? You’re propabaly too ashamed to ask because you think you’ll look stupid. Don’t worry, I’ve been there. There have been so many times where I just assumed or determined based on context clues and have just been completely wrong. For example, in middle school. “SMH.” Dude, for the longest time I thought that meant “Suck My Head,” and you can only imagine how stupid I looked to find out that’s not what it means. It’s just so embarrasing finding out too late but lucky for you guys, I’m empathetic. So whether you’re out of the loop, you’re curious, or you’re just a freaking boomer, today we’re going to find out: What is “drip?” So if you have too much dignity to go on the Urban Dictionary and look up the definition of drip, that’s fine, I get it. But I don’t so I’m gonna go ahead. Drip, as defined by Splashton Kutcher goes, “Adjective to describe your outfit. Similar to swag, sauce, steeze, and swank.” So what the hell is swank? Well there you go. It’s an arbitrary metric used to describe how good or how “wet” your outfit is. So when you have drip, your outfit is wet as hell... Because water is wet. But also, you’re not wet if you’re fully underwater because you’re only wet when you surface because it depends on the medium, but y’all are not ready for that conversation. So, does that mean drip is swag? Because swag is also a way to describe an outfit. Yes, but also no. You could have drip but no swag but you could also have swag but no drip. The two are not mutually exclusive because they can exist without each other. Someone could have absolute swagger but no drip.Take into example Lil Dicky. We can all agree David Andrew (the bird) has undeniable swag, Charming, charismatic, and confident out of the ass. But does he have drip? I don’t think so. Now we have conservative television personality Greg Kelly taking a picture with the

drip

[drip] noun the latest trendy, hype, eye-catching releases on clothing.

thick Donald wearing some Balmains. Does he have drip? Maybe. Okay, withthe pants? Kind of wet down there, I’m not gonna lie, you gotta give it to him. But does he have swagger? I don’t think so. It might look stupid if you have a lot of one but none of the other. But they don’t necessarily need each other to exist. Also, drip is mainly used for clothes but you could also see it used for jewelery as well in the form of “icy.” These two are also not mutually exclusive. They mean similar things, but they’re different. Ice only refers to the ice-like features that a clean-cut gem can present. But that should be clear enough. But you know what’s not clear? Why the hell drip is used for clothes, so let’s get into this visually. So what defines drip in fashion? Very controversial statement over here. Well usually the latest trendy hype eye-catching releases are automatically labeled as drip becuase they’re all coveted by thy neighbor. But also the craziest pieces from both new season archival fashion can also be labeled as drip due to the visual respect they bring from msomeone seeing you wearing them. So you see a spectrum here, right? From the latest dunks to some old stinky CPP shoes. Literal drip shoes! It’s a subjective matter so it really just depends on what you think is cool. Now how do you get drip? I got this dialed in. It’s not that hard to buy drip anymore because you can find out what is going through the massive amount of media through TikTok and Instagram reels. Fashion on social media is so easy now! You can literally go on TikTok and by someone’s outfit and put your own spin on it for yourself. So to me, drip’s not as valuable as people make it out to be. Your wallet kind of just dictates your irrigation and I don’t thin that’s fair. You can purchase drip but money can’t buy the best things in life.

So what’s more valuable than drip, huh? Sauce. so the old-age competition between drip and sauce. What is the difference? So like I said, drip can be bought, but sauce? Oh no no no no no. Sauce is earned. Drip is not. To say that you have sauce is respect. We’re gonna take it back toscripture from the ancient prophet, a.k.a Gordon from Best Buy. “Juice is temporary. You know anyone can obtain juice. I mean you could say that just because you got a nice car, it’s something that comes and goes. But sauce. Sauce is forever. You buy a simple lemonade. How long is that gonna last in the fridge? A couple days maybe. How long does barbeque sauce last in your fridge? A while. That’s the sauce, man. It sticks around, it’s hard to move around, and it’s thick.” True! I got some barbeque sauce that’s lying in my fridge that’s older than my insecurities, baby. If anything, sauce comes from the lack of reliance of what’s hype. You can’t say you have sauce the same way you can’t say you’re humble. It’s counterintuitive. I’m gonna leave it to Gucci Mane himself.

If Gordon’s the prophet, this guy’s the Messiah. “If you don’t got sauce, then you’re lost. But you can also get lost in the sauce. Battered fish can get lost in the sauce, man.” What he’s saying is you need the sauce in life. It’s what makes life great. But also you can’t try to hard because you’ll get lost trying to find it. I don’t think it comes in a way of what clothes you’re wearing but rather the way you carry yourself in those clothes.Sauce just kind of comes. People give that to you. You can’t give it to yourself. It comes in time. You have to be patient. You also can’t be born with it. You can’t be born seasoned, boys. There’s a reason you gotta marinate good food in the fridge for a minute before it becomes great. So that’s all you need to know. You can buy drip, but you can’t buy sauce. Drip is temporary, but sauce is forever. I hope this educated the masses on the difference between sauce and drip and also just what drip is.

Creator Stevie Salle is a Men’s Fashion blogger based in Seattle, WA. He quickly gained a following after creating his YouTube channel in 2016, In the time since he has amassed a network of over 100,000 followers and 6.2 million views on all his videos. Stevie’s videos on YouTube span from vlogs to tutorials and favourite videos. In this Article By-Aesthete Series writer and Creator Ajay Woolery talks with Stevie about his journey and Work.

GIVE US SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT YOURSELF....

WHO IS A PERSON THAT INSPIRES YOU AND WHY?

My name is Stevie Salle, I was born & raised in Hawaii, and moved to Seattle after I graduated high school in 2013. I am currently 23 years old. I do YouTube / social media full time. I create original content for brands, collaborate with companies to promote their services, and previously (just ended) was an owner of my own clothing company called NDCSVCLO. I dabbled with the whole college thing, but nothing really stuck - so I decided to create my own path; with what I do now. And I couldn’t be more thankful and happy for the position I am in.

I don’t really have 1 person in mind. It’s more so just a generalization of people who work hard, try their best to be good people, and individuals who put out good energy. I always strive to be the best possible verion of myself, so when I see other people who are nice kind - it inspires me; to continue to work hard.

WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST MOTIVATIONS TO CREATE? It’s a mixture of things. My surroundings, architecture, fashion, the

people around me, the feeling I get when I see / touch something. It’s hard to explain but I get inspiration from pretty much anything and everything. But what inspires me to CONTINUE to create - is the audience I have. There’s nothing like conceptualizing a video/ photo, making it come to life, and having my audience respond to it and enjoy it. I create what makes me feel good, things I am proud of, and it’s nice to know that my viewers support what I do & the enjoy my content. So that positive response from my following - inspires me to continue to do, what I do.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT BEING AN INFLUENCER/CREATOR AND FORMER BRAND OWNER? In terms of being an influencer; I have learned a lot of things. But if I had to pick 2, I’d say number 1 being: create things that you’re proud of. Especially with this day & age, everyone is trying to become an influencer or get into doing social media (which is dope, as there’s always room for everyone) - however, with that; you find yourself comparing your work + results - to others around you. So the number 1 thing I always tell myself is that, I can only control what I put out, the type of work I release, the vibes I spread, and the type of person I am; and if I’m happy with all those things, and if my audience likes what I do - then that’s the best I can do and I’m doing something right.

WHEN DID YOU START THINKING ABOUT FASHION SERIOUSLY?

Number 2: you gotta have thick skin. Not everyone is going to like you + what you do, which is fine. As everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, people won’t always say the nicest things - and I have just learned that you gotta let those things slide, focus on the positive, and continue to do you.

I wouldn’t say I take it that “seriously”. However, I started getting more into it; when I started my YouTube channel. I started experimenting with more garments, trends, colors, styles, etc. I wasn’t afraid to step outside of my box when it came to new things, and I just liked how fashion made me feel. This ability to where whatever you want, and have your style - be just yours. Everyone’s style is different, and I think that’s what so great about fashion and what made me get into it. This idea that you can be whatever you want to be, wear whatever you want to wear, and (for the most part) people can’t tell you nothing, because that’s what fashion is. This freedom to do whatever it is, you vibe with.

* In terms of being a former brand owner: Theres so much I have learned about starting a label, having an official business, etc. But I think the biggest take away I learned was money management. When starting a brand, or any type of business; you need to be smart with your money. You need to know when/where to spend your dollars, where to invest it, and how to build your business; all the while keeping the consumer happy. It’s hard to explain, as it’s something you’d only experience if you have your own business - but as I mentioned, I think the whole money management & budgeting - was something I underestimated in the beginning, and was something I had to learn - as I went.

WE’VE REACHED OUR FAST SPEED ROUND... On a scale of 1-10 how excited are you about life right now? An 11 Where do you see yourself ten years from now? Happy doing what I love, Surrounded by people who love me. Favorite Brands? Uniqlo, Aime Leon Dore, ILOVEUGLY, Acne Studios Style icon? Don’t have one Vintage or New fashion? Mix of both Future Plans ( As it relates to your career).... I have some exciting collaborations in the works. As well as - some plans to start a new cut & sew label. All the while continuing to grow my social media presence via my YouTube channel, website, and Instagram. Journal 1: A Talk With Stevie Salle by Ajay Woolery; November 18, 2019; Aesthete Journal

FROM PERSONAL PASSION TO BUSINESS PLAN by rae witte

“WHAT BEGAN AS A BASIC PRICE CHART OF ONLINE SALES HAS NOW BECOME ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING MARKETPLACES IN THE WORLD.”

STOCKS STOCKS STOCKS

platform had the necessary safeguards for sneaker authentication or price regulation. This fractured system might have been sufficient for a market that remained a relatively small niche. But it had been steadily growing in popularity since the 1980s, and the scale got even bigger in the 2010s. In a 2014 interview with eBay, Luber shared the significance of this period, pointing to one shoe as causing a sea change in the popularity of the category: the February 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend release of Nike’s “Galaxy” Foamposite, part of a celestial-themed pack worn by basket ball greats like LeBron James, Penny Hardaway, Amar’e Stoudemire and Kevin Durant. Trusted sneaker blog Sole Collector called this specific release “one of the most chaotic sneaker releases of the last decade” because it caused “riots nationwide as sneakerheads tried desperately to get their hands on pairs.”

While the old adage goes, “Find a job you love doing, you’ll never work a day in your life,” it’s safe to assume this was well before the age of the YouTuber, “plandids” and the stock market of things. StockX may be a multibillion dollar juggernaut with massive influence radiating throughout sneaker culture today, but it started with taking the leap to transforming a personal passion into a business plan. For founder Josh Luber, keeping his love for sneakers separate from his career was very intentional at first. As he continued to invest into his hobby, he saw something from his corporate jobs that was altogether missing from sneakers — data. As he established and dove deeper into the numbers, an entirely different vision arose. A basketball game, a check and a business later, StockX was born. What began as a basic price chart of online sales that screamed more Microsoft Excel than startup unicorn has now become one of the most intriguing marketplaces in the whole world. The timing was remarkably fortuitous. Sneakers crescendoed from a rising niche to a frenzy over the past decade. Few other companies put together the core mechanisms required for a market to function effectively for this category. Before co-founding StockX, Josh Luber was consulting at IBM, deliberately working outside of sneakers to maintain it strictly as a hobby. That setup continued until he realized the opportunity to organize data around his beloved collection. Markets can’t exist without prices, and the price of a sneaker in the secondary market a decade ago was difficult. Popular sneakers often gained value over time based on demand, which could wildly fluctuate over time. By scraping data openly available on eBay for over 13 million transactions, Luber and a team of 17 volunteers established Campless, a constantly updated sneaker secondary market pricing guide that launched in 2012.

“That was definitely the first time I remembered people other than my group of friends that loved shoes talking about a ‘drop,’” 24-year-old sneaker enthusiast Mark Sabino said.

“While it had a lot of flaws in it and required a lot of manual work, it gave probably the best reference point at the time,” COO and co-founder of StockX Greg Schwartz says. The Campless team was simply pulling prices from closed eBay auctions and analyzing trends from there, much like any individual seller would probably do before posting their own shoes. By scaling up the size of the dataset though, they were getting much more accurate market-clearing prices than were previ ously available.

Andy Oliver, director of e-commerce at the sneaker and streetwear lifestyle brand Kith, looks back on it as a tipping point as well. “I think it was a combination of the right model with a graphics treatment that was really unique at the time. Then, from a marketing perspective, it’s tied to All-Star Weekend, which was a huge deal in 2012. When everyone started to get a sense that they were mostly unattainable, they blew up on another level.”

Similar to the auto industry’s Kelley Blue Book that offers estimated values for cars by model and year, Campless offered indepth numbers on the secondary sneaker market that would eventually become a tentpole and proprietary offering of StockX. When Luber and his team launched Campless, there weren’t easily accessible options for buying sneakers in limited releases. Enthusiasts could buy directly from the retailer by lining up and camping out for in-store drops, scour eBay for the most legit-looking seller with the best price, or have a plug or backdoor avenue to get their prized pairs. All three options were fraught. Campless’ name and “know more, camp less” tagline referred to consumers camping out— sometimes spending days in line — for the latest, most coveted sneaker releases. Flight Club, which opened in New York City in 2005, was initially for consignment and typically carried more rare, older shoes rather than new pairs. For individual resellers though, eBay and Craigslist were the only options to set up a one-on-one transaction at their own discretion, and neither

Brendan Dunne, co-host of Complex Media’s sneaker show Full Size Run, said the release set a new benchmark for chaos and hype. “I think the image of helicopters flying over the mall in Orlando where they released is the enduring image.”

“FIND A JOB YOU LOVE DOING, YOUʼLL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.”

A community that had been around since the 1980s was hurtled into the mainstream eye. Yet even more fuel was added to what Luber called “limited edition sneaker collecting” with the growing popularity of Instagram. Sneaker enthusiasts could share their favorites with the entire world, showing off their rare finds to potentially millions of people on their feeds and not just their friends in person. Securing that All-Star Weekend drop meant not just being cool, but globally cool, intensifying the pressure on a market that was completely unprepared for the scale of demand that was arriving.

by RICHIE LE & LYNA 1. OFF-WHITE X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 MID 2. NIKE BLAZER MID ʻ77 JUMBO

3. JORDAN RETRO 12 “ROYALTY”

4. JORDAN 3 CAMO

Richie: Starting with the Air Force 1 Mids, we have the OFF-WHITE leak.There’s a little bit of pink and blue in there. Virvil definitely put his touch on the Air Force 1. Let me know your thoughts!

Richie: Alright, so next sneaker right here. We got the Jordan 12 Royalties, one of my most anticipated sneakers for this year. But after seeing the photos, I’m not really sure. Let me know your thoughts.

Richie: Alright, lastly we got the Jordan 3 Camos.

Lyna: Oh! They kind of look like Taxis. THye kind of give me DMP 11 vibes. I don’t know if I can say this but I’m gonna say it anyway. I picture people from the east coast reall liking it. Overall, what are your thoughts? I know you were really looking forward to these.

Richie: This is like patchwork camo.

Richie: In the playoffs too. I’ve been looking forward to the playoffs, these, ah. I think they missed the mark. If it was gonna be the Taxis, it had to be original details only, no DMP twist to them. Can you let them know do not burther the Playoff 12s?

Richie: You know, I gotta make my genuine analysis right now. I think these just need a little hype around them and they gonna go crazy. Aesthetically, they’re nice, but I just need a little frenzy around them.

Lyna: Not a whole lot of good thoughts on these. The little bungee things on the side remind me of the Dunks that came in like 1800 colors. Richie: What if I told you what his vision was? He said on his IG, “The shoes are a mere by-product of trying to define a larger idea of why shoes are technically meaningful, emotional, & relevent, etc.” Lyna: Huh? What does this have to do with that shoe though? What about this shoe makes me feel like it’s more relevant or meaningful? Richie: When I feel like a shoe is this ugly and hideous, you almost gotta just pull out whatever you can. Lyna: But it doesn’t even correlate though! It makes me not like the shoe even more.

Richie: So next sneaker, we got the Blazer ‘77 Jumbos. Let me know your thoughts. Lyna: Oh they’re cute! I like them! Richie: They almost look a like a cartoony Hey Arnold type vibe. Lyna: You know, I could live without the big black swoosh on the side, but there’s something about this. Maybe it’s the material. Oh, If you look at the back it’s almost like a sock backing and so it makes it look more white and bubbly as opposed to the typical leather ones. Richie: yeah I think they’re just giving me too much of the OFF-WHITE Blazer vibes. Like it’s the same exact color pattern and everything. Lyna: I think they look cute and bubbly and the fact that you said they look cartoony makes me like them even more.

Richie: Alright, what do you say about these, Cop or drop?

Richie: Alright guys, we got the Jumbo Blazer ‘77 Mids. I would say these are not bad, not for me. But you know, I feel like this is a cool sneaker for you.

Lyna: Drop!

Lyna: I’m gonna say cop but I think it’s more of a girly shoe.

Lyna: Oh. You said camo. That’s not camo.

Lyna: This is like a hybrid of everything that would look good seperately but not together. What do you think about them?

Lyna: I’m gonna let them know that even if you guys bring out the Playoff 12s the way Richie wants to or wants them, he’s still not gonna wear them.

Lyna: He needs Travis Scott to wear them. That’s what he’s really trying to say. I’m a fan of all things poop brown. This is something where I can see the desert sand doing it’s own thing and the olive doing its own thing.

Richie: Oh you. I’ll rock the Playoff 12s. I’ll say these are a drop. Kind of disappointed.

Richie: I’m a maybe. I’m gonna see how they pan out this month and by the end of the month I’m gonna see how they stand.

Lyna: I feel like I am going to sand my ground and disagree with you and say they’re a cop for other people.
