A staple piece in any D-Boy's wardrobe!

Hats off to the guy (or girl), who wears his Club C’s to an sneaker event. To some a timeless classic, to others just too plain Jane. 

This short message, blog, writing or whatever you wanna call it, isn’t about the Club C, it’s about the Fila T1 Mid and it also being a timeless classic, just like the Club C for example.

Style has nothing to do with words like “limited” or “exclusive”, and it isn’t something that can be bought. It’s something you have or  you don’t have, both ways, it always takes effort. Or you just don’t care. 

The Fila T1 Mid retro is an updated version of an all time favorite from the late 80’s. A staple piece in any D-Boy's wardrobe back in the day. The all leather mid-cut features an EVA sole for that extra comfort while you hustle ;-). The hits of green suede on the mudguard area just make it so clean, right?

The T1 runs a little big because of the all leather lining, so I would recommend going down a half or full size from your normal sneaker size. 

Style wise you can dress up, go casual or just rock it with something gully when you hit the streets. The T1 handles all occasions. A definite must in every sneaker collection.

I copped these bad boys over at the good people of Go-Britain.nl, they still have some size left, so don’t sleep and join the style hustle!

Return of the Air Max 2 & Air Max 2 Light!!





Besides the ton of amazing rap albums (Illmatic, Ready to Die, Hard to Earn etc) that came out that year, 1994 also gave birth to one (actually two) of my favorite Air Max renditions to date, the Air Max 2 and the Air Max 2 Light. The Air Max 2 introduced the four-chambered Air unit, that promised a cushier bounce and wich would be used on several other Nike models later on. The Air Max 2 was the perfect update of the Air Max ‘93, with better materials and new tech. I always loved the comfort and fit of the inner sleeve/sock used on the  Air Max 2, wich was first introduced on the earlier Huarache models. Alongside the Air Max2 came the Air Max2 Light, which was the lighter version of the two. In design not at all similar, but in terms of tech they tapped from the same barrel. The Light used the same heel cushioning, but the Phylon midsole featured a wedge, therefore it dropped some weight and making it a so called “Light” version. I always loved the design of both runners, if I had to choose, I would prefer the slickness and shape of the Light over the 2. But luckily no need for choosing with these two (Air Max) fan favorites. The Air Max 2 has only seen releases in ‘94 and ‘95 with two colorways for Men and two for Womens. The 2 Light made it up to 6 colorways. My fellow older heads and me, are long hoping for a (decent) retro of the Air Max2 and Light, and that being said, Nike’s on a real classic retro spree as of late. So why not Nike? Bring em back!
