I’m a huge fan of English fashion designer, JW Anderson.

He has collaborated with Converse since 2017 and the partnership has kept moving toward his vision and direction.

The new model, Run Star Hike, really caught my eye from their latest fashion show.

I love English fashion!

Luckily, I was able get them from the Converse site.

The box came in an exclusive limited edition pattern.

It also came with a shoe bag.

There were also extra shoe laces. I like this one more than the plain shoelaces.

I really like the back of the shoe. Very cool!

The bottom soles come in a trio of colors.

I’m really happy with my purchase.

It’s already been a year and this is my second time celebrating my birthday with my lovely wife.

We went to the mall and she asked me to go with her to the Louis Vuitton store. I was a little confused because the store is currently under construction but they have a temporary store open near Macy’s. When we got there, she surprised me with a birthday present!

I wish I could take home this box on display.

Starbucks in one hand and a LV bag in the other. Oh happy day!

The box and presentation is so elegant.

It came with a dust bag.

The VIRGIL ABLOH x Louis Vuitton collection quickly sold out in the U.S. and Canada. I tried locating the black colorway but they were all sold out. Luckily they still had some pieces left at my local LV store.

The A4 Pouch (Monogram Brown), which is their standard model, also comes in two other colors and are more expensive, made with premium leather.

I love the small details and colors, especially the chain.

There’s a front pocket.

The large, main pocket has an insert pocket.

The collection was designed by VIRGIL ABLOH and is pretty difficult to find, but thanks to my wife, I now own my first LV bag.

Thank you so much to my old buddy, @mr.0709, for sending me 4 huge boxes from Canada.

He sent me some super valuable and rare toys that were created by famous artists and designers.

I’m so excited to add these to my personal collection. Thanks again, Victor!

There were so many awesome toys from my want list, including many Michael Lau toys. 

Futura figs by Michael are my favorite!

 

Michael Lau Mad Hatter!

I also did a video review. Please check it out:

Sometimes I get lucky and I’m able to cop a new sneaker release.

Although, the second pair, ordered on the Nike app, came in the wrong size.

I was so happy to find this awesome G-shock design by my favorite artist, Futura.

This is a limited edition release of the GDX6900FTR, based on the re-design of the 6900 platform.

Futura gained fame in the 1970s and 1980s, as one of the pioneering innovators of graffiti.

I was doing research and found a deal on it with elitestores.com. Unfortunately, they ended up sending me the wrong packaging.

The packaging was from Eric Haze but the watch was brand new, without the original packaging.  

After contacting the store, they gave me a breakdown for sending me the wrong package.

Their service was good and they responded quickly so I don’t mind continuing to support their business.

I’m a huge fan of G-shock because their quality and design are amazing.

I already own a few of their exclusive collaboration models and haven’t had any issues so I would highly recommend them if you want a stylish yet affordable watch.

I always love sharing what I pick up online.

One of my favorite Supreme collaborations is with Luden’s®.

Supreme is also famous for their accessories and collaborations so I bought some of the Throat Drops for my personal collection.

When I posted this photo, Luden’s commented on it and asked me to DM them my address.

Their team replied back to me within a half hour and few days later, a package arrived with an awesome surprise.

They packaged the items with their own branded tissue paper. So cool!

The package included a Supreme tee, stickers, and a pair of earbuds.

Thank you to  Luden’s® for sending this package. I really appreciate it and I’m very lucky to have received such a wonderful gift.

A lot of brands can learn from Luden’s by reaching out to the consumer with their products, giving people the opportunity to review and post about their company.

Virgil Abloh is a smart designer who also knew how to create hype. He may not be the best designer or artist, but he understands how to use his network and get people excited about something which has made him famous and given him opportunities to collaborate with many people.

I was excited when I heard about his Moët & Chandon® Champagne collaboration because the design was really cool, and I don’t even drink.

I knew I wanted to add this to my personal collection since I collect limited collaborations with Hennessy. 

“One of today’s most celebrated creative visionaries, VIRGIL ABLOH, will debut a collection of custom-designed bottles of Moët’s iconic Nectar Imperial Rosé.”

There’s also a signature Virgil Abloh quote on the bottle.

I love the color and there are so many unique details on the bottle. You should definitely pick one up from your local store.

Adidas and Kanye finally come up with a new idea for the Yeezy 350 V2 silhouette. The brand new design will remove the signature SPLY-350-branded forefoot stripe and replace it with a new see-through material.

The box is still the same design.

I love the new color scheme, Static grey and white, as well as the new pattern.

This time, Yeezy released a limited “Reflective” version which is a completely reflective shoe instead of just the shoelace.

The chance to cop them is much easier so just make sure you’re on time to get them when they’re released.

Finally, the legendary Air Jordan 6 Black Infrared has made its comeback, this year!

This sneaker was one of the most popular retro Jordans and was worn by Michael Jordan during his first NBA championship.

This colorway was released several times before. The 2019 version will be returning with the original branding with the Nike Air logo on the back.

On Saturday morning, I went to the local mall around 8:30am, in front of Finish Line. I was surprised how easy it was to get them. There weren’t many people but there was enough hype for them to sell out on the Nike app. I was able to use a $20 reward toward my purchase so I was able to save some money.

As soon as I got them, I couldn’t wait to open them!

Nike kept the classic shoe box with the retro Jordan jumpman logo.

I got a pair for my baby girl, about 5 years ago, so the sole has yellowed a bit.

Overall, I was able get them without any issues. This model is still one of the best Jordan models and colorways. Don’t miss out on your chance to cop them.
