Jansport's Desert Collection

Serious cojones were needed in order to rock a fresh JanSport bookbag back in my middle school days.  Yes, owning one of the iconic American apparel company’s bags automatically made you “the man”, but it also came with a hefty price of having to always be on guard against menacing classmates who were ready pounce on your unattended prized possession. (especially if the bag was decorated with multi-colored strings on its zipper.) Well, Jansport has returned with a new capsule in hopes of reigniting the grandeur it once possessed.  

Inspired by the sandy desert mountains, their Fall 2018 Desert Collection consists of the SuperBreak backpack, the Fifth Avenue waist bag and the Half Pipe FX mini.  Constructed with soft leather and suede, the bags are available in “mistral grey”, “vintage brown” and good ol’ black.

The Desert Collection is now stocked at NYC’s Extra Butter and will be sold at Jansport’s official website on October 28th.  Check out its lookbook below:

Get In Line (BAPE Edition)

Last Saturday, eager fans, parents and resellers alike stood up for hours on SoHo's Green street to get their beastly hands on the new items from BAPE's latest collaboration with adidas originals.  The homie Racks Hogan was in attendance with Complex to document the madness that ensued.

Pardon my bluntness, but I'm surprised BAPE still has crazy lines!  I'm not going to lie, though, the pieces from this particular release are fire.  Thank goodness I don't have to deal with the commotion anymore--don't get me wrong, I loved chopping it up with all of you, it's just that after eight hours of constant chatter, a brother gets tiyad! (had to break out the patois to fully express my emotion.)

In any case, I'm still in these lavish, cobblestone streets!  My new FRNDY LMRN stickers are posted throughout the beloved area so if you see one tag me on the gram.

For now, check out the humorous clip below:
