Do you guys know the history behind the hemp material? No? Well, I’ll tell you a bit. According to Wikipedia, “Hemp (from Old English hænep) is the name of the soft, durable fibre that is cultivated from plants of the Cannabis genus, cultivated for commercial use.” Cannabis genus…does that ring a bell? It should, because other species in the Cannabis genus, such as indica and sativa, are the ones responsible for producing marijuana! Awesome, huh? I know; amazing how the healing plant can also be used to make shoes, lol. Anyway, about these Vans…

I’m not even a drinker, but this is definitely an item I’d carry around with me. If you’ve never played Pac-Man in your life, then you’re a lame and a weirdo because this game is so OG. Anyway, this is a well designed bottle opener for you bottle loving alcoholics and old-school soda drinkers. Serious question, though…where the hell do you get Pac-Man-Ghost soda from? Because it looks fuggin’ delicious…

I really need to visit Japan. In fact, I’m planning on saving a lot of my money this upcoming year so that I’ll be able to make that trip next summer. I really think I would have a great time there; I admire the culture so much! I actually wouldn’t mind visiting the rural areas of Japan before the bigger cities. Anyway, enough about my love for the country; let’s discuss this awesome TRIANGLE HOUSE designed by Ryoichi Kojima and Hiroshi Ono…

Where did I first see this shirt…? Well, I forget but I do know that I admire its design. HIXSEPT SHOP has done a great job with designing such a shirt. According to their facebook fan page, “Hixsept was born in 1999 from a fusion of the ideas of two french graffiti writters : Hëx and Hept.” This makes sense because great things are usually produced when two minds contribute, and like I always say, “life needs more contrast!” Let’s look at the shirt in more detail…

JACKPOT! I’ve been searching for better places to buy Vans aside from the dreaded mall or something similar. Seeing as how I enjoy shopping online because of the simple convenience (and the fact that I despise people…lol just kidding) I’m happy that I found out about OFFSPRING. I’m in Vans heaven—along with some other brands—and I couldn’t be any happier.
