Double threat here, actor and a business man.
Check out my big screen debut, in the sequel to Ask About Me, the Shaker Heights 06 classic underground film (some of my OU friends have seen the first film). Written by my man Julius Trimble and filmed by Gibran Mills, this tells the story of two young hustlers who grew to be bosses... Ask About Me
A little background on the film, in high school, Julius and I teamed up to become the top candy salesmen in Shaker history. In two years combined, we grossed $3,000 in candy sales, a bar at a time. Most, probably 90% was spent on fast food, kicks, and polo. True story.
In the movie, we play drug dealers, who sell the most potent drug on the block, "fruity" (candy). You have to see the first film to understand, but in the second edition, Julius has gone out to Howard in D.C, while I took my talents to Athens, Ohio to move my product. Hilarity ensues.
You can check out the clip HERE.
In terms of the gear, I had the Guess jeans on, and black polo coat. The scarf is Coach, and I wore it like a bib (trying to be original there, but turned out just looking funny).. I tend to wear the scarf in the European Loop nowadays, just keeps me warmer and looks better under a jacket.
Favorite part of the fit, as always, is the shoes. Nike Air Revolutions, dope salmon, black and grey colorway. Yes, I love wearing them, as they have the old school, late 80's high top feel.
Follow my guys Julius @216_the_reason and Gibran @prophet_gibran on twitter, two funny dudes. I'm on there as well @216rox.

Henley Shirt

The best birthday gift that little sis of mine ever got me (clap for her, scholarship to Northwestern). A Polo henley shirt. Now, I have to admit, when she got it for me, I was a bit skeptical. I had never even heard of a henley shirt honestly, and I had only seen it worn by grandfathers (R.I.P). Slowly, and surely, I am starting to dress more like a grandfather, and I've got to say, my Pop Pop was a fly old dude. When I was little, I used to always wonder what the guy riding a horse on his shirt, and the little green alligator was for. Let's just say now I know, so he would be proud.

Nike "Confetti" Court Force

On my feet above is one of my favorite pair of Nike's, the Court Force High. I affectionately refer to these as the confetti edition, because of the colorful bottom. Each shoe is one of a kind, because each pattern is unique on the bottom. The Nike Court Force was released in 1987, and became known as the cousin to the ever popular Nike Air Force One. Originally released as a basketball show, recently re-releases of the product have come in various colorful styles (see the Marvel Comics post below).

The Nike Big is a classic shoe released during the beginning of the 1985-86 NBA season, the same year that the dunks premiered. Though they are very similar to the Nike dunk, they were designed a bit more aggressively. The big NIKE print on the back is what really does it for me with these shoes. They were endoresed by the 7'7 rookie from Sudan, Manute Bol, who was the tallest player in NBA history until Gheorghe Muresan was drafted in 1993 (and dunked on repeatedly by a young Shaq). The Nike BIG had found its perfect endorser, and Manute Bol went on to lead the league with the most blocks by a rookie, swatting an amazing 397 shots! With all those block attempts, he sometimes found himself on the wrong side of a poster (click here to see the 5'7 Spudd Webb dunk all over him).

Marvel Comics

I put together this fit during a summer trip to New York during the summer of '08. My family and I toured both New Jersey and New York, stopping for an experience at the old Yankee Stadium before it was demolished. We made our way through Harlem, where we found a strip of stores and I ended up blowing some money I didn't have due to my unpaid internship at the time. Luckily, I found this gem in the form of a cool t-shirt filled with Marvel Comics characters for $15. I grew up obsessed with the X-Men cartoon like many kids, and other comic book heroes as well.

Plaid Short


I usually rock sneakers with almost everything, and plaid shorts are no exception. On my feet are a pair of Nike dunk low. I pretty much avoided the whole Nike dunk movement for a couple years. I hate when everyone goes to the mall and buys a certain type of shoe; I try to go the opposite direction of generic trends. In high school, I avoided buying Air Force Ones (especially after Nelly bought 30 pairs in one song) until my senior year, and even now I only own two pairs of dunks. I decided to grab these because of the cool mixture of suede and canvas, and because of the smooth tan colored leather on the bottom, which gives the shoes a classic look.
