VINTAGE 1990 NIKE FLIGHT MID TOP AT THE CRIB!

CUTOMIZING THE "MALCOLM X" SNAPBACK

I FOUND THE PERFECT THOUGHTS FOR CUSTOMIZING THE "MALCOLM X" SNAPBACK. AFTER I AM ALMOST DONE ROCKING AN ITEM DAY AFTER DAY I TRY TO FIND WAYS TO KEEP IT ALIVE BY PUTTING MY OWN GIFTS OF THOUGHTS IN THE PICTURE. THIS ITEM IS ONE OF MY MOST LIKED PIECES BUT ADDING GOLD "MCM" BUTTONS PUSHED IT HIGHER ON THE BRACKET. THE BUTTONS ARE FROM AUSTRALIA WHICH I HIGHLY CHERISH. FOR SOME REASON WHEN I GET PRODUCTS FROM FAR AWAY IT BECOMES 10X BETTER THAN BUYING IT FROM MY HOMETOWN OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ME. NOT THAT I DISLIKE WHERE I'M FROM BUT TO ME AN ITEM IS DOPER WHEN IT COMES FROM A PLACE I NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON. THESE BUTTONS ARE NOT CLIP-ON SO TO GET THESE TO STAY ATTACHED I HAD TO COME UP WITH A METHOD.

1. FIND GOLD SAFETY PINS THAT WOULD COMPLIMENT THE BUTTONS

2. STAB THROUGH THE HAT IN A DECENT POSITION

3. FIND THE NUMBER OF "MCM" PINS THAT FIT

4. MAKE IT LOOK DOPE.

AFTER COMING UP WITH THIS METHOD  THAT CAME OUT TO LOOK PRETTY GOOD IT'S A FINISH DEAL FOR NOW AND IS ANOTHER CREATION ADDED TO MY LIST. I WILL HAVE PLENTY MORE CUSTOMIZED PIECES TO COME. I’M KEEPING MY EYES OPEN ON A DAILY FOR GREAT CUSTOMS IN ALL ART FORMS. HOPE YOU ENJOY, I DO THIS TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND TO SHOW YOU CREATIVITY COMES IN MANY FORMS. THE LITTLEST IDEAS CAN MAKE SOMETHING AVERAGE A CLASSIC PIECE FOREVER!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH STEEZE: MALCOM X SNAPBACK

THE TITLE OF THIS POST EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH THAT SOCIETY MARKS BLACK HISTORY MONTH BUT THAT HAS NO INSPIRATION TO WHY I PURCHASE THIS HAT AT THIS TIME OF OUR YEAR. THE MALCOM X HAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PURCHASED IF IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER OF LATE SEPTEMBER. THE HISTORY AND THE MEANING OF THIS HAT MEANS SO MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER SNAPBACK I COULD EVER FIND. WHEN EVER I SPORT THIS HAT I WILL BE REMINDED ONE OF MY BLACK KING LEADERS "MALCOM X". IT'S ABOUT MY AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY. IT'S THE REAL MEANING OF "BLACK FASHION"ALSO NOT JUST A TITLE OF A BLOG. AS YOU LOOK CLOSELY THE HAT IS BLACK WITH STEEL ON THE BROOM OF THE HAT AND FRONT DISPLAY MARKED WITH A "X". IT'S A DOPE PEACE THAT I NEVER IMAGAINED I WOULD CAPTURE. MY HOMIE KEITH FATHER HAS THE VINTAGE VERSION OF THIS "MALCOM X" PIECE BUT THE FACT THAT I HAVE MY OWN  VERSION MAKES ME HAVE MY OWN HISTORY WITH THIS "MALCOM X" ITEM. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PHOTOS PROVIDED.

MR. KEITH WORLD CHAMPION LAKERS 5-STARTER

WHEN EVER I SEE THIS CLASSIC LAKERS WORLDS CHAMPION 5-STARTER PIECE AT MR. KEITH CRIB I DON'T KNOW WHAT  ELSE TO DO BUT TO ASK CHRIS IF HIS POP WILL SELL IT TO ME.  RIGHT NOW YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF THIS CLASSIC LAKERS PIECE BUT UP CLOSE IT'S EVEN DOPER. THE SILK PURPLE INSIDE THE LAKER PART OF THE PIECE TAKES THE  JACKET TO THE FUTURE WHEN THIS WAS MADE IN THE MID 80'S. THIS JACKET IS A GEM RATHER YOU LIKE THE LAKERS OR NOT. I'M NOT EVERN FROM LOS ANGELES BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP PIECES 5-STARTER HAS MAD IN THE 1980's. IN THE FUTURE WHEN I CAN OFFER MR. KEITH  A COUPLE THOUSAND HE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SELL IT TO ME. THIS IS DOPE, BIG UP'S TO MR. KEITH FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER HE HAS BEEN A FATHER FIGURE TO YOUR BOY BZ.

IN SEARCH OF....VINTAGE GEAR

IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE OF MY CLOTHING SENSE TO LET YOU KNOW I'M A BIG VINTAGE COLLECTOR AND I CUSTOMIZE MY OWN CLOTHING. AT A YOUNG AGE THERE WAS NEVER A TIME WHEN I WOULD BE UP TO DATE WITH THE LATEST TREND THAT I WOULD WANT TO BE WITH SUCH AS JERSEYS, TIMBERLANDS, OR JORDANS. BY THIS HAPPENING I HAD TO FIND SOME WAY FOR ME TO BE OUT WITH MY 12 YEAR OLD CREW LOOKING GOOD FOR THE 14 YEAR OLD FAST CHICKS.I WOULD GO TO THRIFT SHOPS WITH MOM DUKES FAITHFULLY PUTTING MY OWN STEEZE INTO WHATEVER I WOULD PURCHASE. ALL THE YEARS OF ME BUYING CLOTHES FROM THRIFT STORE BOUTIQUES I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT I WAS CREATING A WORLD THAT WAS MY OWN CREATIVE EYE CATCHING THEME.TO ME IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STREET BRAND OR LUXURY BRAND THAT STEPS INTO THIS GAME I WILL ALWAYS FEEL VINTAGE SHOPS ARE THE WAY TO GO. THE RAW THING ABOUT VINTAGE COLLECTING IS THAT IT'S A CONSTANT JOURNEY. YOU CAN FIND THE COOLEST SHIRT AROUND THE CORNER THAT WAS NEVER SEEN OR YOU COULD HAVE A SHIRT THAT YOUR GRAND POP WOULD STUNT IN AND YOU FIND IN YOUR DAYS YOU CAN STUNT WITH THE SAME PIECE. IT COMES DOWN TO HISTORY WITH VINTAGE GEAR AND THAT'S THE REASON I WILL ALWAYS PUT IT FIRST.  BELOW ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS I AM IN SEARCH OF ON A DAILY IN MY SIZE OR WANTS AS COLLECTOR ITEMS.
