My basketball shoes

Don't misread this post. These shoes are not for show, these babies get [a lot of] actual playing time. But I would be lying if I said these are just functional, because they are a limited edition colourway. Anyone that plays streetball knows in streetball a little intimidation is involved and sneakers are a small part to accomplish that, the rest is up to me shooting the lights out [so to speak].

Heritage Research

Loving this brand Heritage Research.

The name says it all, taking inspiration from the past to bring us new vintage pieces. Everything from jackets to accessories. With inspiration drawn from military, outdoor and workwear themes, HR creates collections that strike a perfect balance between classic and contemporary clothing.

Heritage Research garments are crafted in England using the finest British and Japanese fabrics. Every piece is cut, sewn and finished by hand using traditional English tailoring methods.

Hope - Charlie Boot in Cognac

Swedish brand Hope is better known for their clothing collections, but I think this post proves that they also make a mean boot.

Dunderdon - J55 Parachute Poplin

Don't let the name fool you, you can't jump out of an airplane with this lightweight parka from Dunderdon.

The secret stash!

I found the ultimate source for vintage and new [deadstock] military issued watches. They sell everything from basic field watches to SAR [search and rescue] watches. All watches are very reasonably priced and often very limited, as they don't make them anymore.

My new arrivals

Light blue worker shirt with white buttons from COS. Check out the nice pocket detail.

Sketch Department Store, The Hague

Today Laura and me were shopping in The Hague. I showed Laura this super nice design store, which I found last time I was there. It's called Sketch and is located in an old cinema. They sell furniture, art, clothes and special foods. Brands include: Mismo bags, Opening Ceremony shoes and Hope clothing amongst others.

Lange Poten 41, the Hague, the Netherlands.

The Air Up There [not talking about the movie featuring George Clooney]

Forget about the NBA Dunk Contest during All Star Weekend. Hands down the best dunker in the world is a player that goes by the name of "The Air Up There". He pioneered the 720 dunk [two full turns]. See the clip for the proof.

My new arrivals

Vintage British Bicycle Bag

Mohawk General Store, has very nice contemporary pieces from established brands, but they mix it up with unknown brands or vintage pieces.
