Threads and Kicks

The Hue did an interview with The Hundreds co-founder Bobby Hundreds. I’ve look up to these guys the last 4-5 years with their blog and brand and have been always interested in what they do and how they do it and have always respected the style that they do their work and how they handle themselves. This was a really cool look into the people behind the brand. Stuff like this inspires me to get back to designing shirts again.


Funny bit on this, in the last 5 years I hadn’t bought anything from The Hundreds, but when I went to LA this last July I picked up some gear finally. I might have to make it a bit of a habit and head to LA again, especially once this Seattle weather turns around and hits fall/winter.

Louie V was tipped to design the case to carry the World Cup.





Like all Louis Vuitton special orders, the FIFA World Cup Trophy case was made at the company’s original workshop in Asnières, which opened in 1859. The case opens at the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be removed easily when, at the final on 11th July in Johannesburg, watched by many millions of people across the globe, it will be presented

I found The Urban Gentleman blog a few months ago, and forgot about it for a while, but rediscovered it in my ‘net travels.

They posted about the rise of designer shoes from designers like Lanvin, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Louboutin, and now Jimmy Choo, most of which are known for their high end design, but in terms of shoes, mostly for womens heels and such.

The newest trend they are moving on are designer sneakers for men. It’s an interesting trend.

I’ve heard of guys buying Prada sneakers, but had no idea about the other designers or looks out there. Honestly, it’s a market and price point I know little to nothing about, mostly because I don’t see myself spending that kind of money on shoes. We are talking $800+ a pair, which honestly works out to probably half of my current collection of 10 or so pairs (not including beat up kicks I only wear to walk the dog and such). I just don’t see myself getting my moneys worth out of that kind of price premium, but there have to be some out there who will. I just thought I would drop a few of the looks they had posted, I find them interesting.
