January 17 : Pick ups

Pretty much the summary of what came last month. After all this flux of Adidas and Bape, I think I'm going pass on them. Aside from the "boost" mid sole, there isn't any great about it. It's not even good from running long distance, as there isn't that much support.

Andy got lucky on those RF Ultra boost. I suppose everything here is going straight to eBay, except for some shirts. Overall, it's been a good month

3x RF UB, 3x Naked UB, 2x Bape x Reebok, 2x RF Response, 1x CNCPTS EQT 93

march acquisitions

i suppose supreme and streetwear in general is still cool. lately, it's been quiet or maybe i'm getting old to "like" EVERYTHING supreme drops. nowadays, i pick certain pieces that i like and maybe.. just maybe use it and wear it.

sad but true, but some pieces will probably remain useless and motionless in my closet for years to come..  

why? is it impulse buy?, is it for keepsake?, or simply liking it? Maybe all three. Maybe none..

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures

ronnie fieg x puma r698 tokyo sakura project : quality!

ss15 supreme bucket hat : summer is calling

ssur mercy tee : praying hand.emoji

floral polo : because real men wear floral

fuck tote : beach bag..

supreme x undercover "molested" hoody.

as mentioned before - this is one of those things that will remain in my closet because it hardly rains here

trying to finish it up. help me.

 nike fragment design sock darts : 2nd most comfortable shoe i've own after flyknit chukka. too bad they stop making fyknit chukkas

i don't know why i bought these jordan oreo 4s, but i did.

impulse buys then follow by remorse buys are the worstt

these shoe trees are a necessary accessory to your shoes, no doubt about that

already in use

no words needed as this is just a repost.

supreme ss15 / kith - pop up store

Do you remember when was the last time you spent an entire day doing nothing? Last Thursday was that kind of day for me. My friend David and I waited in Supreme's line for their Spring/Summer 2015 drop for almost 13 hours long. Guess what, we went home empty handed. 

But on Friday we returned back at 6 am only to see less than 10 people ahead of us. Except for the black Neil Young Tee, everything was still available. I don't understand or know what the fuss is all about regarding Thursday's drop. Pretty sure half of these people lining up don't even know who Neil Young is ( I didn't - until I recognize his music ). Ironically enough, I bought a Neil Young tee and it will probably just sleep there in the closet for years to come...

After getting what we want at supreme, we went to Kith's pop-up store. And here we go again, the line wrapped around the block. Is it time to give up with this chapter and flip the page to move on into a new chapter in life? That question remains to be pondered, haha. 

With that line being there, David and I spent pretty much all day at venice beach then come back for the line to die out to get some shoes in the afternoon. 

That's all folks - see you next time

it's been a long long time

dear readers,

it's been a long time since i last post on this blog of mine. as you (if you are close enough to me) may know, i'm currently student teaching at park elementary school. on a daily basis, i wake up at 5 a.m. to get ready. the bell at school rings at 7:55. school's final bell rings at 2:30, that final bell is my happy bell. when it rings, i get this jolt of happiness. maybe ivan pavlov's experiment is correct after all, even on humans..

anyways, despite being in this busy cycle, i still find the time on the weekend (and some week days) to buy some shoes and get a quick bucks off some of them. 6 more weeks until my training course is done, then i will (hopefully) pass my rica by then and start applying for a job.

speaking of blogging, i'm going to do my best to capture all that i can and put it on here more often. i'm tire of not having the time to blog, travel, and enjoy the "little things" in life. in the meantime, i'm hanging in there moment by moment, day by day.

until next time love ones.

sincerely,

pham

july kicks

after looking at my previous kick posts, i decided to limit my pictures down to just "cool kicks". i buy a lot and i sell a lot. but that doesn't mean i should post all of them here. below are three not really limited shoes with "cool graphics / colors". peace. 

ps - hopefully august will have its own "august kicks" post because i will be doing all these things that will limit me away from the computer (yes, at the release day/time).

until next time.

june kicks

By far, June is the busiest month of the year. Father's day, Graduations, tight schedule of work, and obviously a massive amount of shoes coming out. I don't know what is it about June, but a lot of these shoes just happen to be released in June. Some of these pictures are from May, which I didn't put into last's month's entry. Some are old but were acquired this month. Enough with the chit-chats. Enjoy the pictures.
