A post on some of my current wardrobe Jeffrey Holmes, 7/12/19 I wanted to share some of my personal clothing collection here on this blog.  While this is my first attempt at doing so, I am hoping to turn Closet Check into an ongoing series for this blog.  The numbers on the picture correspond to different items I have categorized by brand, product name, and then colorway.  I would say that I am currently most into clothing by Brain Dead and Yeezy, but I’m curious as to how these snapshots reveal my changing tastes. Footwear 1) Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 “Utility Black” 2) Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 “Static Non-Reflective” 3) Nike SB Air Jordan 1 OG High Defiant “NYC to Paris” 4) Supra Vaider “Ocean” Bottoms 5) Uniqlo Jogger “Olive” 6) J Crew Slim-Ft Chino “Charcoal” 7) Rothco BDU Cargo Pant “Purple Camo” Tees 8) Supreme Cyber “White” 9) Supreme x Chris Cunningham Rubber Johnny “Pale Mint” 10) Palace Symbol “Purple” 11) Pleasures Feedback “Brown

Supreme is Known for Higher Price Points: Is this Week Pushing it Too Far? Jeffrey Holmes May 15, 2019             Headlined by collaborations with McDermott, Playboy, and GORE-TEX, Week 12 of Supreme Spring / Summer 2019 is a diverse drop, despite its small size.   With YouTubers like 8oone calling this a “brick week,” [1] the initial reception to seeing this collection has been negative overall, but the reason for this is not the items themselves, but the pricepoints at which they are being offered.   At the time of writing, retails have not been officially announced for these items, but the predictions are currently steep, with the McDermott Pool Cue being estimated between $400 and $600 and the 24k gold Front Keychain estimated at a minimum $500.

[1]   The two skateboarding mainstays will be releasing pro model Sk8-His and Slip-Ons, each in three colorways, on May 9, 2019 exclusively via Supreme.   With the first Supreme x Vans collaboration debuting in 1996, the two imprints have a storied history of working together. [2]             This week continues that legacy with the Diamond Plate range, brandishing a diamond print on suede and heavy branding from both brands.   The Sk8-Hi is constructed with suede panels and a canvas upper while the Slip-On features an entire canvas upper.   Like other Vans pro models, both shoes are lined with leather for increased durability.   While these offerings are not as loud as the Jean Paul Gaultier line, the excessive branding does not lend itse
