TEES: Crooks and Castles The Neon Gun Tee - $32

I kid you not, this is the print trend for spring. Look to see more brands hit us with neon sign like prints. Where's the gun show?

Hoody: GRN Appletree Strap Hoodie - $91

I dont know if I am ready for this one, but you have to appreciate the detail here with this military inspired hoody. the center button closure over the zipper is very different and unique.

JACKET: GRN Appletree Transplant Jacket - $105

GRN Appletree can put together outerwear too. The body of the jacket has been seed around town but the fabrication selection is real nice. It's sleek and has a nice silhouette. I also like the front bottom pockets; how the outer pocket stitching runs to the rib.

SNEAKERS: Louis Vuitton x Kanye West

The much anticipated sneaker collab between Kanye West and LV. It is really clean and classic with a unique feature of a quilted back flap to tuck jeans into. Enough with the crazy prints, keep em clean.

Check out the press release: PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.

Here is a nice waxed cotton jacket with cargo front pockets and a built in hood. The hand feel is real nie.

CONVERSE CTS

Here is a preview of the 2009 Converse Skate Range, which to me looks super stylish and functional. The gold eyelets gives it that little bit of richness.

HOODY: LRG The High Plains Zip Up Hoody - $96

The theme of today must be Buffalo Plaid cause I am adding this LRG hoody to the mix. Purple is still strong and you have to like the rivet detail not only on the front chest pocket, but on the back yoke too. The label embroidery on the bottom hem is a nice touch too.

BEANIE: The Hundreds Buffalo Beanie - $27

Digital Gravel has the yellow colorway, which I particularly like, in the Buffalo Beanie. You got to wear something to stick out when you are out on the moutain.

HOODY: Kane and Unke Pullover Jersey Hoodie - $70

I am so glad that Metro Park redesigned their website. It is much more user friendly and frankly looks better.

Fully printed, geo pattern hoody. The pattern is not overwhelming and I like the black/turquoise colorway going into early spring. The hood also has a pinstriped lining which is a nice detail.
