Guys. I've come over sole mission this Monday. This Monday is the day you change your life and stop wearing black. Okay, maybe stop is a drag, but don't wear black all the time. Don't let it be that every time people see you you’re wearing black on black or you're wearing a white T shirt and black on black like we see you or some people be like “Oh, yeah. I'm trying to wear grey though”. Bro there’s colours that exist under the sun right colours that I believe you guys should be trying to wear. Try out a light blue try out I don't know a royal blue try out I don't know Green A purple, an orange try something do something out of the box. Do something extraordinary you something different. It's not every day go for the same colours that you always wear. Don't be that person has seen and everybody just know you're pulling up in black. Have a bit of colour, you know. Have a bit of a bit of swag about you. You see what I’m saying, try something new, so I know I might have come on violence this morning. I don't apologise, but make this the week where you change your life and introduce some colour into your wardrobe. I promise you you won't regret. I promise it might feel weird at first. I agree. It might feel awkward. You might feel that there's too much attention on you. Yes, I do agree. But at the end of the day, you will know why I told you to wear colours. Change your life.

the prices of Jordans are getting way to high A pair of dropped the other day they’re called the Jordan 4 Zen Masters. a few months back, I was looking at them and saying, Yeah, these are going to be the one. These are clean people don't see it People don't understand the vision. But I'm going to show them the vision right before then comes towards released it now and telling me for £200. Are you crazy? Or what does not make sense. Jordan 4’s started off at 135 then, due to inflation. And when they did, the whole process changes. It jumped up to 160 I believe. A few years later. 165 then they hit 170. I was like Cool. 170 Must be its peak. No. This year they've hiked up some of the 4’s to, 180 now, actually, last week, even last week. This week, a pair of unfortunate for £200. Does that make sense? I think we're getting a bit too far ahead themselves, considering how close the competition is to doing crazy things, shops and the balance, because New Zealand is in the proposition right now to take over the market. But it's interesting to see what happens in the next few months. Yeah, keep it locked

Did you know the collaboration between Michael Jordan and Nike may have never happened. Yesterday I turned 23 so I thought it. would be a good idea to share some random Jordan facts with you about Michael Jordan and also the Jordan brand. When Michael Jordan entered the NBA, he was an amazing talent, as we already know, and he was playing with that special number 23. So, of course, it makes sense for me to, you know, do some some Jordan prop. But when he joined the league brands like Nike and Adidas, were looking for him, and they wanted him under their brand. They want him in their roster, but it was difficult and it was wonderful for Nike funnily enough, Michael Jordan especially liked Adidas and the project they were putting together, and he really wanted to work with them. So he nearly signed for Adidas, and it was so funny because Nike then re approached him with an offer that he basically couldn't refuse. It was £500,000 every year for the next five years, something that no brand could offer. But you know, what Michael Jordan still wanted to give Adidas a chance. So he went back to Adidas and said, This is the offer that Nike have got. Can you match it or can you beat it? And unfortunately, Adidas could do neither. So Michael Jordan signed for Nike. And that is how we have all the Jordans you have today. Yeah, it's crazy.

One question I usually get is how do I decide what brand is going to buy from? Well, the first thing I do is look at the brand and look at the story. Is a story a special one? Is it something I can relate to? Have they done something important in the community? What kind of things are there as a brand doing in terms of building their legacy? I'm building something more than just a clothing line that really interests me. And that's what captured me at first. Once I see a brand that kind of meets my requirements for me, what I kind of believe in. Then I go and look at the quality. So what type of pieces are they using to create their clothing? What quality are they're going for? Are they using cheap materials? Are they going for you know, the more high end, Um, wait sort of materials. So, for example, with jumpers typically about my jumpers anywhere from about 2 50gsm to about 4 20 gsm and maybe a bit more, I think the last jump I picked up was like 452 something like that, and GSM just refers to the weight of the jumpers. So the heavier and a piece of clothing, obviously, the more the time it has been taken to put it together and the longer it should last. So yeah, um, I look for that when I'm buying T shirts, joggers, hoodies. It all depends, but I like buying clothes, and that will last not close. And I'll just go in a second because I feel like clothes are meant to last for a long time. They're not meant to be bought just to be warm once and then for in a way, you need to build a long lasting collection of clothes, not just something that vanishes in a couple of minutes or hours.

Gap is a retailer that's existed since 1969 and in more recent times they've been struggling to find their feet, so much so that they actually took a hit in queue for at the start of this year. Companies are still struggling with shipping, and they're having a lot of issues, and gap is no different to any other company. Unfortunately, it's been very difficult for them to do what they need to do in terms of make their orders and meet their demands. Now some of you may remember that Kanye Western arts collaboration with Musician Gap last year and further on in the year we saw easy times gap engineered, by Balenciaga. This creates a lot of hype in the market, and people expected a lot of big things from this collaboration. However, it seems that even though these clothes are releasing, they aren't really meeting the hype or the expectations that people have. And in addition to that, while the releases may have been accessible, people don't understand their sizing, and so some people end up having close where they're just simply too big for them, and so they will go and return them and that obviously affects profits. But despite this drop in Q4 and the uncertainty surrounding Gap’s shipping issues, investors are still happy to invest with Gap. And they have actually improved their investments and improved their (Gap’s) share prices in the process. So it's very interesting to see what will happen to gap in the future. I also wonder how much of an impact easy gap will have on the overall purpose of Gap because we don't know the profits, but at the moment. So it'll be interesting to see whether you might be able to even prop up gap with the profits that they make if they potentially find their formula and, you know, break the market.

Hey, guys, today I want to ask a question. Are designer brands falling off and before you come and fight me I'm not asking to be disrespectful. I'm not asking to violate. I'm just asking the question. I've been looking at the trainer game, especially, and people are very happy to spend 400 £500 on a pair of Jordan one's a pair of Sacais guys, sometimes even a pair of Yeezys or Dunks. And I'm just like if they're happy to spend the amount on trainers. From an economic standpoint, that means that you have less money to spend on the designer items. For example, back in 2013 2014 people go buy Balenciaga arenas, and that was that was the pinnacle of trainers. If you had those trainers, you were the drippiest kid on the block, but now you can drip in anything from a pair of Air Force ones to a pair of LV sneakers, and it's like the range and the competition is so high that maybe designer brands are losing out on the customers that they once had. But at the same time, influencer culture is helping them to still promote their items without having to do much promotions bar their fashion shows and some posts on Instagram, them being in stores is enough promotion for them to an extent. So it's interesting to think about and it's a question I wanna ask you guys are designer brands falling off? Feel free to let me know.

Hey, guys. So today I wanna talk about something that is really important to the fashion game and the trainer something that I like to refer to as the art of collaboration because, in my opinion, collaboration is an art. In essence, it's a way to express your opinion, express your identity on the shoe as a canvas and show people what you think and also show people how you can improve something. And one person that was great collaborations with Virgil Rrp Virgil. He was able to express himself and show his kind of identity on the shoes he picked up back in 2017 9, and Virgil collaborated to drop the off white 10, which is a pack that changed training game forever increased the higher culture over the years, and now we look back on it as one of the greatest collaborations of this modern day era of trainers and sneakers. This is why collaborations are so important to the game because they gave people the opportunity to widen their market. Whether it be, for example, Virgil benefiting from the product that might have to be able to use their canvases but also in turn might benefit from the fresh ideas that Virgil brought to the table that changed the shoe game forever. And things like that is why collaboration is so important. And this is why I refer to as an art because art can't be judged, art can't be calculated. It can't be measured. It just exists by itself. And the good collaboration, like a good piece of art, is absolutely timeless.
