Match Up 1/31

Obey's Spring 2010 collection is their best yet and the majority of this match up comes from it. I'm pumped to see camo shorts and that gussto jacket is dope. I used the mustard color here, but Obey also has a solid blue colorway you need to check out. Threw in my favorite kicks right now, the Clae Ellingtons (should be worn sock-less in this match up), and made sure to include a piece from the new Crooks and Castles spring collection. Their graphic tee selections this time around is quality and versatile.

KARMALOOP TV: KID CUDI - FUCK IT

Kid Cudi sits down with KLTV to rant about what is on his mind. Literally like he is just thinking out load. He can do this cause he is tearing it up right now.

Nine Days Premium

For the past decade, Donwan Harrell has been at the forefront of innovation in the denim industry leaving the competition with no choice but to follow suit. With Nine Days denim, Harrell brings his revolutionary design to those of the revolutionary mindset.


Nine Days is the product of ingenuity and art using denim as a canvas. Forged from the mind that brought you PRPS, Harrell now brings you the color of 70’s revolution and the attitude of 80’s punk in a timeline convergent with the fashion forward - with an average retail price under $120 as to lower the price on the ownership of cool.

Using premium denim with unconventional washes and treatments, Nine Days is not for those that accept the uniform. This is for the influencers, the early adopters, the beneficiaries of the flattery which is bred by imitation.

WALLET: Insight Cadillac Wallet - $22

Nothing is worst than travelling around with a big ass George Castanza wallet. I don't know how it happens to me, but I will throw out all the receipts and tickets from my wallet only to have it accumulate again with out me even knowing. Luckily I am not a fan of free hard candy from dive diners.

The Insight Cadillac wallet is a solid solution given the sleek construction. The quilted exterior is also a very nice touch. Put your bills under the clip and your plastic in the pocket and you are good to go. Comes in two colorways.

Match Up 1/20

This match up developed around the Supra Cuban 1.5, which is a great update to the previous Cuban and I really like the laces that were added this time around. When I saw it drop on Factory 413 I had to use it. Everything else just fell in to place from there keeping it casual with the Stussy Crew over the LRG woven and the clean raw LRG denim. The Stussy Crew stood out because of the classic logo print that can be worn pretty much forever. I also felt like this needed a hit of color and nothing is better than a bright yellow G-Shock.

KICKS: New Balance Sprint 2010 574 Ceracom

Since its inception, the 574 has been one of New Balance’s most tried and true silhouettes, sought after for its comfort and effortless style. Designed to family with the well-known 576, the 574 remains the iconic New Balance sneaker.

Ceracom, a rubber-like synthetic material, was used in the original construction of the 574 (as the primary material on the upper) and has been brought back with the re-issued 574 for spring 2010. The Ceracom material’s practicality, that is, Ceracom helped shoes stay cleaner and last longer, coupled with the sensibilities of the 574’s comfort and aesthetic created the phenomenon that the 574 is today.
