Tommy's Post: Another Supreme x Vans Collab

Somebody better tell the top brass at Supreme that these collabs are getting played out. 

I’m running out of ways to say that I’m not American and will never own any of these products. But I’ll try, just for you, loyal and dedicated FofTheH reader.

So you know when you’re walking down the street in Kiev or Portland or Bogota and you see a guy or even lady, (since we’re non-sexist here at the towers) and obviously this guy or lady is from a lower socio-economic class than you are. You’re first thought isn’t “damn this guy will be eating from the gutter tonight” or even “eish, I wish I had an organically manufactured linen throw to give him” but rather “homie will never know the pain of seeing somebody wear the limited release sneaker  that I wanted but couldn't get”.

And then you’re like "I wish I was that innocent".,, Man, I don’t know, whenever I see a homeless guy I avert my eyes and then go home and complain about the government.

Well right now that’s me, not the gutter man but the man in pain. Rampant consumerism not satisfied is the hardest hit of them all.

New Balance X Shelflife x Dr.Z!

"Built with premium detailing and materials, the "City of Gold" 574 features a mix of mesh, nubuck, pigskin suede and reflective 3M heel panels. Further notable features include the yellow speckled sole, prawn graphic lace locks, yellow lace tips and variant branding on the heel."

Whachoo know 'bout that pigskin suede?

Nadda. 

Well, me too. This launch party thing just seemed like a cool idea and it was at Randlords so y'know #fancy. I'm not sure who calls Randlords their "local" but the view from the bathroom is mighty nice. I have been considering crossing over to New Balance, in fact, Tommy and I have held several caucuses weighing up the various pros and cons. Pro: my Roshe's need a rest sometimes too. Con: the New Balance shop we visited in Durban... Think: Hot Mess City! Anyhoo, it's quarter to payday (thank you Yeezus) so who knows what spending decisions I will be regretting in the near future. 

Shoutout to New Balance, Shelflife and Dr. Z for making us feel like we can also have nice things like Japan or somewhere. 

Tommy's Post: Pigalle Pigs Alley

Heather is amazing. In Paris, she indulged my internet needs and walked for close to 2 hours on 2 separate days through Pigalle, looking for thee Pigalle. She braved the cold, the sex shops, the strip clubs, the prostitutes and Chinese tourists all for me, yung Dennis. 

Needless to say, we didn't find Pigalle. We found the cold desire of broken men and absolutely no hoodies with the black box logo, nothing! Just depressing sex.

I think I was depressed for like 1 day straight. Even Proust doesn't know the depression of failed shopping.

Anyways, it's now April and I'm in Joburg. Pigalle and Nike are collaborating on something...

I don't know... It's all hush hush but apparently it has something to do with the Nike Air Force 1, which is cool I guess.

What I want to know is when will Pigalle collab with Fabric of The Heart?

For your enjoyment, here are pictures of terrible people wearing Pigalle.

Tommy's Post: Supreme x Nike, Never in My Life

So it's been a while. For the last three weeks, I've faced riots outside my door, people molesting me on public transport, random children screaming my name and what for? Ya'll want another post.

Y'all want that buttery goodness to drip down off your computer screens and straight into your lives.

Anyways back to what matters, Supreme and Nike have collaborated again. Shorts, sneakers and vests. You can wear them all at once, if you feel like being a hypebeast. I'm pretty sure that these will go well with tribal tattoos. Also my man Migos, will probably dedicate a song to these, actually probably not, cause these look like a poor man's Versace. Also, what the hell is up with those foamposites? I gave up on Sketchers in 2001, I can't go back to that.

Quick caveat though, I have never owned a Supreme product or a Supreme X anybody joint. I own a fuck load of Nikes, but that's because I buy what I see on Tumblr. This stuff might look good on you, maybe if you're American, or maybe if you're a New Yorker or maybe if you're Tyga. Don't take me literally, I know how ya'll dudes roll. Seriously, don't be running up to me in the street. But I will never own these. Never in my life.  

Collabs!

 YES, I KNOW! The A.P.C. & Carhartt collaboration has been out for 3 days now, I know. 

I was planning to get freaky over this here blog with a post but I dunno, there was a football match on or something. So I thought to myself, since Heather's back is turned I can turn all the collaborations I like into one super post.

The A.P.C/Carhartt is obviously the glamour here, but there are others that have piqued my interest. I don't need to say it again, but the possibility of me getting any of these because of geographical location is NEXT TO -8 but I can dream, and every time you have a fashion dream, Karl Lagerfeld loses 2Kg's of fat. Also, I mean we all know we all just want the big A.P.C. & Carhartt logo.

The Supreme X Bruce Lee is a bit iffy for me. Everybody luhs Bruce Lee and Supreme but together the mixture is like fusion Asian food and nobody likes that. But sometimes you do, sometimes it's noodles and bacon, which is delicious, trust me, I'm a broke student.

This isn't a collaboration but I've been meaning to post about Han Kjobenhavn for a minute. So I'll just add it sneakily at the end. The old guy gives off Eastern European human trafficker vibes but that adds to the beauty that is Han Kjobenhavn. Before I saw him, draped in Han Kjobenhavn, I never wanted to be 70 year old white dude who traffics humans, but now I kinda do. 

Rick Owens & Adidas

Adidas has kinda fallen by the wayside since Nike has been throwing collabs, Roshe Runs and Flyknits around like poo flung by chimpanzees. 

Have you ever seen the type of dude who is into Adidas footwear? Not a very nice type of guy, he lives a weird sports X lifestyle type of existence. And he really likes football, like goes Korean for kimchi hard, for football. 

And is possibly David Beckham's left testicle. 

These Rick Owens Adidas collaboration shoes remind me of alien feet. District 9 type steez. 

So basically now Adidas is sports X lifestyle X David Beckham's left testicle X District 9.
