Nike Pro Combat

Posted in athlétisme, clothing, Fly Sh*t with tags , , , , , , on December 3, 2009 by youalreadyknowwhoitis

If you were watching college football last weekend, I’m sure you noticed a few teams rockin some snazzy new uniforms.  These were the Nike Pro Combat uniforms.  Again, Nike takes the athletic apparel game to a new level.  If I were the Adidas/Reebok Group, I’d probably just one myself because I know I have ZERO chance of ever catchin up to the Swoosh.  New Balance should keep doin their thing thou, for YAKWII‘s sake.  I f*cks with Newies.

What’s even cooler about the Nike Pro Combat series is that Nike is auctioning off the complete locker set for each of the ten schools on EBay.  Then they’re donating proceeds to the charities of the ten schools.  If I had some dough, I’d cop a set just to have cause I like collecting sh*t that I have no need for.  Then I’d walk around the crib with the helmet on.  That’s just how I get down.

Check after the jump for a pic of the Ohio State set.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Black/Black

Posted in athlétisme, clothing, Fly Sh*t with tags , , , , , , , , on November 22, 2009 by youalreadyknowwhoitis

Yo.  I like this Black on Black colorway for the LeBron VII’s.  Personally, I think this is the best looking colorway for the Nike LeBron line since the Fruity Pebble and the Gold and Red All-Star LeBron 4′s.  The Gold accents are a very nice touch.

Check after the jump for more pics, as well as pics of the aforementioned Lebron 4′s.

(Gettin my big word thing on today!)

My day off

Posted in clothing, Fly Sh*t, products, real talk with tags , , , , , on November 19, 2009 by youalreadyknowwhoitis

The other day I stayed home from work because I wasn’t feelin well, so I went to the mall instead.  On my Ferris Bueller sh*t.  Mainly just walked around a bit to get out the crib.  I did cop a Florida Marlins fitted thou from Lids thou.

For all the fitted wearers out there, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the Lids Passport Club.  Hopefully you are, but if not you should be!  It’s the craziest loyalty/savings program out there!  It costs $5 a year and you save 20% on hat purchases.  My fitted cost $33.99+tax (damn the south and its tax on clothes!).  However, with the card and 20% discount, I saved $6.80 and the total price came to $29.37.  Since I buy fitteds semi-regularly, I’ve gotten back my $5 multiple times.  Bet.  I’ll take it!

Leigh Schuyler aka Lei S. aka Ms. Free Hugs 0

Yo.  This pic should look familiar if you’ve been on the YAKWII journey since day one.  This pic was featured on my first blog post.  The model’s name is Leigh Schuyler aka Lei S. aka Ms. Free Hugs.  Obviously, since she made the very 1st YAKWII blog post, she’s doin what she does VERY WELL!  Of course, she’s invited over to the YAKWII spot too!  How can I turn her down if she’s givin out free hugs?

Also, gotta give credit to MarcaDeBeatz for setting it off with most of the photos of Ms. Schuyler.  I checked dude’s other work and it’s very creative.  I likes it.

Of course we got more pics after the jump.

Jamil GS is a Danish-American photographer and filmmaker who produces some very dope work!  Perfect example is the photo above of JFK, Jr. and Colin Powell.  When you take a look at his photos, I’m sure you’ll recognize a lot of his work.  After looking at his shots, I’m inspired to get my camera game up!

You can check a few of my favorite shots after the jump.  Be sure to visit his blog Jamil GS or the site 12oz Prophet for more of his work.

On my fashion sh*t…

Posted in clothing, design, Fly Sh*t, products, Wildin with tags , , , , , on October 19, 2009 by youalreadyknowwhoitis

t.fordSup. As my loyal readers know, YAKWII gets it in on multiple levels, in various genres and on diverse topics.  This time I’m gonna bring it to the high fashion tip.  Designer Tom Ford has been in the game for a minute and is one of the world’s most respected fashion designers.  He’s famous for righting the ship at Gucci as their Creative Director.  In 2004, he opened his own fashion house, Tom Ford.

His menswear is on some fly sh*t!  If I could afford and fit into the clothes, I’d cop some of his gear.  Unfortunately, I don’t think he designs for anyone over 150 lbs.  Aside from the gear, his advertising is crazy!  Basically if these weren’t “high fashion” ads, it would be porn.  Straight up.  So for your viewing pleasure, I’ve posted a few of the ads here on YAKWII.  Some of his ads were a bit too risqué for my liking, so I left them out there on the internets.  You can go look for them yourself.

Take a look.  FYI – Definitely NSFW!!!

Remember the Ewings?

Posted in athlétisme, clothing, Fly Sh*t, the 90's with tags , , , , on June 21, 2009 by youalreadyknowwhoitis

EwingHighThe other day I was sitting around, not doing anything constructive with myself (which has become my new favourite hobby) and I thought about some sneakers I had as a kid: THE EWINGS!!!

I remember these were so hot when they came out!  I had the pair above, but in black.  Bananas!!  Not sure if these hit hard outside of the northeast, but I remember a bunch of dudes (and girls) were rockin these back in the day.  I would love to get my hands on another pair of these, but it was hard enough finding pics, let alone anyone selling a pair.  Supposedly a Canadian company named the United Front bought the rights to the brand a few years ago, so I’m be on the lookout for the resurrection of The Ewings.  Check out more pics after the jump.  one.
