This week’s question from our Discord member, msoli:
“You have talked extensively about how style or fashion has come from the hip hop community, the skateboarding community, and the basketball community. Where do you see style coming from now? The same places? Somewhere new? Does it matter based on your age?”
Mike heads design for Good Company Apparel, so this question is mostly for him.

1
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.359
All right, here's the question M
slowly asks, you have talked extensively about
2
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:19.719
how style or fashion has Your style
or fashion is probably what it means to
3
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.559
say has come from hip hop,
the hip hop community, skateboarding community,
4
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.640
basketball community, ear style coming from
now the same places somewhere new. Does
5
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.560
it matter based on your age?
The answer to the last question is yes,
6
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.079
but go on, Yeah, I
think age matters somewhat. I do
7
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.439
think the coolest thing about where we're
at currently in fashion or like style,
8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:49.039
I think there's a definition between fashion
and style fashionable. I would say I
9
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.159
have some style because to me,
the difference is like fashion is like Louis
10
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.439
Vutan. Fashion is name brand.
Fashion is this where style you could go
11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.759
to Goodwill and still come out looking
decent. Right, Styles like how you
12
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.439
put it together. Styles like what
you create. They create that you purchase,
13
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.840
So anyone can have style. But
fashion is like it's entity, it's
14
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.920
it's over there, And to me, yeah, all of it's obviously generational.
15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.840
Right, What's what's popular now is
what was popular twenty years ago because
16
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.439
the creators now are the people.
So everyone's you know, thirty to forty
17
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.319
right now running the fashion game they're
creating things that they grew up wearing,
18
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.200
and that's how I create and kind
of like that, Yeah, basketball grew
19
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.920
up playing basketball in the basketball culture
and niche sneakers or a thing. Hip
20
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.159
Hop is a thing. Influence hip
hop and stuff started to bleed into skateboarding.
21
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.879
Skateboarding fashion started to bleed into hip
hop. Then you find, you
22
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.480
know, some guys that just flip
the entire game on its head, Guys
23
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.439
like Virgil Ablow, Kanye West,
and they took that world and just made
24
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.800
babies with Louis Vaton in this high
fashion world about now because of them and
25
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.400
probably because of the Internet. But
everything's in fashion. Yeah, you know,
26
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.680
there's no the lines are very very
broad now where. Yeah, every
27
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.960
day, if you're wearing like skinny
jeans, you might not be exactly in
28
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.240
the in the vibe, but there's
tight baggy clothes are in fashion. Short
29
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.639
shorts are in fashion. Extra baggy
shorts are in fashion. It's it's multi
30
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.120
layered now, which which I think
is cool because then you can find your
31
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.960
niche within it. There's a preppy
niche. Crombie made a comeback, Like
32
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.960
there's there's kind of niches everywhere that
you can dress and express yourself and not
33
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:49.039
stand out as much in a negative
way. He was your age. Rock
34
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.159
and roll was less than forty years
old. Hip hop is fifty yeah right
35
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.800
now, Like that's crazy. Yeah, who do they actually say invented rock?
36
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:07.560
Elvis? No, not Johnny because
he's still like folk country. He
37
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.280
will. Yeah, this is let's
what you say. What does the internet
38
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.479
say? I would say, yeah, in my head, the internet would
39
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.800
say all this and then obviously talks
to some music head and they're gonna have
40
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.520
their own in depth opinion, but
just just the broad opinion Chuck Berry,
41
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.199
all right, we'll take it.
Then there's there's definitely a cross tab their
42
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.520
relationship between Chuck Berry and what Elvis
did. Elvis took R and B music
43
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.680
and movement, yeah, and movement
and made it a white people yeah.
44
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.120
And even style he kind had like
a lowtown style about Yeah, I didn't.
45
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.199
I mean, I think we've talked
about this on here before. Like
46
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.159
he like route up, I mean
he was heem was like a weird dude.
47
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.560
Yeah he was. He was very
much about how he presented himself all
48
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.000
the time, which is that takes
you back to style and as to level
49
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.879
up entertainment. You know, I'm
not an Elvis fan. I watched the
50
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.599
movie, which I did enjoy,
but I've never liked his music that much.
51
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.639
I know how I never called to
me at all. And different things
52
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.280
from that era ish half. I
like Ray Charles and some other things,
53
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
but elvis music, for some reason
never hit me. But yeah, like
54
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:24.079
he created culture and art to be
superstardom right without him, there's no Michael
55
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.120
Jackson without him, There's no right
any of it, Taylor Swift, whatever.
56
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.680
Yeah, he set the plat Drake, He set the platform that kind
57
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.199
of like a man diva, I
don't know what the term would be,
58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.360
right, Like he was like the
first man diva to put these people on
59
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.199
on on a pedestal in a sense
negative or positive. Yeah, and and
60
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.639
back then, Yeah, you go
wear a baggy shirt way out of place.
61
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.920
Right, But now if you're going
out to a bar, if you're
62
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.959
going to like a nice little fucking
whiskey bar or something, and you kind
63
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.639
of dressed like Elvis, You're probably
not gonna be out of place because you
64
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.560
can kind of wear anything. Now, you can kind of wear anything,
65
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.000
yeah, which is cool. Colectic
has been a thing for a while Yeah,
66
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.319
that's why vintage closes are are cool, because like things are, plus
67
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.920
the rarity of them, right,
you know, there's a certain teas that
68
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.240
you know that I have some of
these Star Wars teas from the nineties that
69
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.560
you just can't find them. You
literally can't find them, and that's why
70
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.519
they're valued high and they look cool. The graphics are a little bit more
71
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.920
legit. Fast fashion wasn't as much
of a thing until you know, the
72
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.120
twenty tens, so some of the
qualities might be better arguably, so I
73
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.600
think a lot of that drives would
I do you know, I grew up
74
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.480
going you know, we grew up
lower middle class, and beginning of school
75
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.079
or beginning of basketball season, my
dad would go to foot locker and I'm
76
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.240
grabbing, you know, three for
ten twenty dollars tall teas, and I
77
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.680
just wore that everywhere. I wore
it to play basketball, I wore it
78
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.360
to school. Ever, I started
making a little bit of my own money
79
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.959
in high school. I started to
work, and I'd go to Zoomies and
80
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.120
buy some of the skateboard companies or
some of the street Where. Street Where
81
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.759
really didn't become like underground or a
real thing. And until like six seven
82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.920
eight, and that's when I started
finding the blogs and reading up on it,
83
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.160
and I don't really know what attracted
to me. I've talked about the
84
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:12.319
mission behind what we do and how
I think is just that everyone's self conscious
85
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.160
in some nature. Everyone has these
issues. But allowing yourself to look good
86
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.000
and feel good with how you dress
and being put together, I think can
87
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.279
go a long way. You know, It's often you see people that are
88
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.439
so broken, whether they're kids or
young adults, chest down, don't take
89
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.600
care of themselves, and I think
there's a correlation there. I think it's
90
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.600
I think it's like cyclical because I've
been there too. There's been times I
91
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.959
didn't shave, you know, we're
building this gym. I just wore the
92
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.560
same shirt and didn't shave for fucking
get a haircut for a year. I
93
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.000
didn't feel great about myself. So
once you start to do those, I
94
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.480
think you can build a lot of
confidence and how you carry yourself, which
95
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.759
obviously translates to whatever success is you
allow yourself to have. So that's kind
96
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.319
of what we try to do here, you know, rather than wearing the
97
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.120
same T shirt that you mow your
lawn with to go work out in.
98
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.560
How can you work out in a
shirt that you would actually go out in
99
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.720
and feel good? All right?
And I think that, like, you
100
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.680
know, as a as an apparel
company, like what we're trying to do
101
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.480
is give people like cool options.
Yeah, it's like things that and that
102
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.639
that kind of reflect them as people. And I think that's really sort of
103
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.199
the essence of style. It's like
dressing in a way that represents who actually
104
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.879
now more than ever. And if
if you do that, if you nail
105
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
that, people go, oh,
that looks really good, and I understand
106
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.639
you all in you know, all
all together. Yeah, that's the nature
107
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.079
of it now right where you know, even in the nineties growing up,
108
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.240
I would just see my dad wear
and he had nice suits, custom suits,
109
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.120
but he would wear a suit.
Not much. You can really express
110
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.959
yourself there, right, He's got
a navy one, he's got a gray
111
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.480
one, he's got a black one. That's all. You got ties in
112
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.319
the shirt color, a little bit, a little bit of the cut,
113
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.680
yeah, a little bit of the
shoes maybe, yeah, shoes, yeah,
114
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.759
But the variance isn't that much.
Yeah. I used to carry a
115
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.839
pen that costs like a little flare
and it was at the point that I
116
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.920
started banaging people. That's what I
got one because my boss had one.
117
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.759
It's like, I'm just going I'm
just doing this, Yeah, yeah,
118
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.800
they'll watch. It was much more
limited. That's probably where I watches became
119
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.160
a thing. Right, It's a
one way to express yourself when you're wearing
120
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.560
a suit yeh, or jewelry.
Some dudes would wear bracelets or something,
121
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.600
but that's the kind of the beauty
of the nowadays. Bobs make you to
122
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.600
dress a certain way, but a
lot of jobs are slightly more casual.
123
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.679
With how you dress, you can
really express yourself. You can be comfortable
124
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.000
functional. And then you had to
tap onto what Jim said, what we're
125
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.720
trying to do is just make some
a little bit more durable and higher quality
126
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:45.480
than I've seen in the game.
The actual inspirations themselves currently come from everywhere
127
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.360
and anyone creative. They made shit
up, they're lying to you. We
128
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.120
had a lot of talks with the
homie Shawali, who owns a Naka Russ,
129
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.039
who owns Get Better, and everyone's
you know, getting inspired by everyone.
130
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.559
I get inspired by soccer players I
see dress, seeing soccer jerseys.
131
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.159
Other companies Russ, sharey Bart.
I get inspired by everyone and everything.
132
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.759
Throw your twist or your flare on
it, or that idea sparks. Maybe
133
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.440
it sparked something brand new in your
head that you thought I've never been done.
134
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.519
But yeah, we're all just all
just trying to make cool shit.
135
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.720
And it doesn't have to be deeper
in that either. If it's fucking cool
136
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.600
shit, it's cool shit. In
the improv world, there's a thing called
137
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:30.759
a two C where you taking inspiration
form it and then your version has some
138
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.559
aspects of the original, but it's
so entirely different, so new yea.
139
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.960
Hopefully if that people get kind of
struck by Yeah, you know, yeah,
140
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.960
I ain't nobody like reinventing the wheel. No, you know no.
141
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.320
I will want to just point out
that just media that somebody asked Russ who
142
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.960
inspired him the most, and you
were number one inspired him most to get
143
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.960
to start lifting, Yeah one.
Him and I talked a lot in person,
144
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.360
because that's how I kind of grew
on social media. I think I
145
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.639
think I was just one step stronger
than everyone. Yeah, right, because
146
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.000
there's still a world class guys.
There was Dan and you could be inspired
147
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.320
by that for sure. But they're
so off and Dan's older too. Yeah,
148
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.519
yeah, but you know it's hard
to be inspired by someone so far
149
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.279
away from you. Right, I'm
dead lifting four hundred and he's pointing four
150
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.000
eight eight fifteen. But I was
like just one step ahead of a lot
151
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.840
of people because I started earlier,
and I have decent genetics, but I
152
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.200
just started earlier and everyonce people and
Russ said that Ben Rice was that for
153
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.080
me. I watched a lot of
Ben Rice and he was just a hair
154
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.840
stronger than me. I'm like,
and he was obviously world class. I
155
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.200
think he's even been the Worlds,
and I'm like, I'm gonna cash this
156
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.799
motherfucker. He's right there. So
I think I was kind of like that
157
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.759
with Russ. And then we have
a similar sports background, so we've always
158
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.960
related and always chatted over the years. True sports culture sneakers. I think
159
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.399
something we just grew up in and
as you know, that era wasn't like
160
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.679
that. You know, the probably
first time I ever stepped into a power
161
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.559
lifting gym super training, I was
probably weren't Jordan Twelves. That's what I
162
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.679
used to bention, you know,
like no one else is doing that now.
163
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.799
It's cool, but everyone else is
there wearing caterpillar boots because they got
164
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.600
off four Yeah, a lot of
chuck tailors, a lot of Yeah,
165
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.000
that's all there was. So I
think that's cool that powerlifting is slowly getting
166
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.799
its own niche of clothing. And
you know, the niche of powerlifting is
167
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.360
big enough to have its own culture
now. I think maybe the most important
168
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.840
distinction is rather than specifically shoes or
whatever. Back then, back when you
169
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.000
started with with with st like,
no one was wearing an outfit. No,
170
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.720
they didn't even think about Now people, yeah you care. People like
171
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.720
they put together what they're gonna wear
and it goes together in a way,
172
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.080
and you know, I think it's
cool. I think again, it leads
173
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519
back to the confidence thing. Like
you know, like as you could probably
174
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.399
see it, the powerlifters we used
to hang out with and where their self
175
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.799
esteem was as a human or as
a lifter versus people you see now their
176
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.399
self esteem as a human or a
lifter. You know, the outfit is
177
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.559
one piece of the puzzle for sure. Showing up every day, working every
178
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.360
day, working hard every day and
doing it for years builds your confidence as
179
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.080
well. It's it's a new generation
which school it's obviously younger sport two,
180
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.639
which plays a role. Right when
you're younger, you tend to care more
181
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.120
about how you look and perceived by
the world. But all that is I
182
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.840
think grown. You know, there's
I forgot his name, but there's an
183
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.559
Instagram guy. It's gonna be like
seventy and I think it's his son's page
184
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.799
technically dresses him up in I think
affordable looks based on what celebrities do,
185
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.200
and it's fucking super cool. You
know, you'll see like, whoever it
186
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.919
is, Bruno mar isn't a fit. And then they'll side by side with
187
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.159
a seventy year old like grandpa or
maybe it's his dad, and he'll wear
188
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.000
like the affordable version of that,
and his grandpa looks fucking rat. You
189
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.679
know. It's like Robin Williams used
to be really in a I'm not known
190
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.840
for it mainstream wise, but he
would dress some would say not appropriate to
191
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.519
his age or however you want to
put those words. I don't think there's
192
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.320
an appropriate for your age besides being
too young. Think if you're fucking over
193
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.679
eighteen, man, dress or iver
the fuck you want. And so I
194
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.679
think a lot of that is cool
and those borders are in tweaked. You
195
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.519
know a lot of people that are
still like high fashion guys are not are
196
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.519
like the top of the game,
aren't young anymore, you know. I
197
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.320
think Frol Williams is the name that
comes for all might be fifty now yeah,
198
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.240
you know, and he's one of
the leading names and influences in all
199
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.879
all fashion. Yeah you know,
which is just so different make Jaggers eighty
200
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.000
yeah yeah, like what yeah,
such a different game now, so yeah
201
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.720
yeah. And one of the things
I think I've talked about it before,
202
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.080
observed in our major cities in the
United States, and really a lot in
203
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.559
Europe, is that kind of people
of any age, particularly in Paris I
204
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.919
noticed this, but in London too, where people of any age like it.
205
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.519
And I don't know what they were
every day, but like the days
206
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.679
that I saw them like really sharp, just and it looked appropriate, and
207
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:01.279
people developed an impression of them just
based on what they were wearing and how
208
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.799
they carry themselves. I think that
and then you know, fucking keeping carry
209
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.399
your your your skins, you present
yourself, how your haircut, your your
210
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.679
fitness levels, your muscular levels.
I think that's all just becoming one cooler
211
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.519
on the broad scheme. But I
think it's cooler on the broad scheme because
212
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.600
the deeper meaning Israel, you know, and I don't always agree with that
213
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.200
stuff. There's a quote going on
Instagram motivational shit like some guy doesn't hire
214
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.720
everyone in this company has to have
a six That's obviously extreme, but I
215
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.919
understand his rudiment point is that if
they take care of themselves, they're more
216
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.080
likely to withhold other standards that they
set for themselves. Right, If you
217
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.759
set a goal of X y Z
going to the gym three days a week,
218
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.799
you go to the gym three days
a week. That's a win.
219
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.799
Internally, that's how you actually build
confidence. So if you can do that,
220
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.399
you can also hit go shoot,
you can hit the deadline from the
221
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.919
data sheet doesn't always translate. There's
tons of idiots and undisciplined people with six
222
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.360
packs. But the rudiment idea I
think is probably an overall win. Yeah,
223
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.519
I agree, Ladies, and gener

Facer Prime Podcast and association with i Art
231
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.559
Media on the Obscures a celebrity network
and we'll talk to me next time
1
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.359
All right, here's the question M
slowly asks, you have talked extensively about
2
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:19.719
how style or fashion has Your style
or fashion is probably what it means to
3
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.559
say has come from hip hop,
the hip hop community, skateboarding community,
4
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.640
basketball community, ear style coming from
now the same places somewhere new. Does
5
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.560
it matter based on your age?
The answer to the last question is yes,
6
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.079
but go on, Yeah, I
think age matters somewhat. I do
7
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.439
think the coolest thing about where we're
at currently in fashion or like style,
8
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:49.039
I think there's a definition between fashion
and style fashionable. I would say I
9
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.159
have some style because to me,
the difference is like fashion is like Louis
10
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.439
Vutan. Fashion is name brand.
Fashion is this where style you could go
11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.759
to Goodwill and still come out looking
decent. Right, Styles like how you
12
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.439
put it together. Styles like what
you create. They create that you purchase,
13
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.840
So anyone can have style. But
fashion is like it's entity, it's
14
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.920
it's over there, And to me, yeah, all of it's obviously generational.
15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.840
Right, What's what's popular now is
what was popular twenty years ago because
16
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.439
the creators now are the people.
So everyone's you know, thirty to forty
17
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.319
right now running the fashion game they're
creating things that they grew up wearing,
18
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.200
and that's how I create and kind
of like that, Yeah, basketball grew
19
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.920
up playing basketball in the basketball culture
and niche sneakers or a thing. Hip
20
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.159
Hop is a thing. Influence hip
hop and stuff started to bleed into skateboarding.
21
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.879
Skateboarding fashion started to bleed into hip
hop. Then you find, you
22
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.480
know, some guys that just flip
the entire game on its head, Guys
23
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.439
like Virgil Ablow, Kanye West,
and they took that world and just made
24
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.800
babies with Louis Vaton in this high
fashion world about now because of them and
25
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.400
probably because of the Internet. But
everything's in fashion. Yeah, you know,
26
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.680
there's no the lines are very very
broad now where. Yeah, every
27
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.960
day, if you're wearing like skinny
jeans, you might not be exactly in
28
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.240
the in the vibe, but there's
tight baggy clothes are in fashion. Short
29
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.639
shorts are in fashion. Extra baggy
shorts are in fashion. It's it's multi
30
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.120
layered now, which which I think
is cool because then you can find your
31
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.960
niche within it. There's a preppy
niche. Crombie made a comeback, Like
32
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.960
there's there's kind of niches everywhere that
you can dress and express yourself and not
33
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:49.039
stand out as much in a negative
way. He was your age. Rock
34
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.159
and roll was less than forty years
old. Hip hop is fifty yeah right
35
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.800
now, Like that's crazy. Yeah, who do they actually say invented rock?
36
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:07.560
Elvis? No, not Johnny because
he's still like folk country. He
37
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.280
will. Yeah, this is let's
what you say. What does the internet
38
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.479
say? I would say, yeah, in my head, the internet would
39
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.800
say all this and then obviously talks
to some music head and they're gonna have
40
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.520
their own in depth opinion, but
just just the broad opinion Chuck Berry,
41
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:28.199
all right, we'll take it.
Then there's there's definitely a cross tab their
42
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:35.520
relationship between Chuck Berry and what Elvis
did. Elvis took R and B music
43
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.680
and movement, yeah, and movement
and made it a white people yeah.
44
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.120
And even style he kind had like
a lowtown style about Yeah, I didn't.
45
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.199
I mean, I think we've talked
about this on here before. Like
46
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.159
he like route up, I mean
he was heem was like a weird dude.
47
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.560
Yeah he was. He was very
much about how he presented himself all
48
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.000
the time, which is that takes
you back to style and as to level
49
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.879
up entertainment. You know, I'm
not an Elvis fan. I watched the
50
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.599
movie, which I did enjoy,
but I've never liked his music that much.
51
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.639
I know how I never called to
me at all. And different things
52
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.280
from that era ish half. I
like Ray Charles and some other things,
53
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.040
but elvis music, for some reason
never hit me. But yeah, like
54
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:24.079
he created culture and art to be
superstardom right without him, there's no Michael
55
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.120
Jackson without him, There's no right
any of it, Taylor Swift, whatever.
56
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.680
Yeah, he set the plat Drake, He set the platform that kind
57
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.199
of like a man diva, I
don't know what the term would be,
58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.360
right, Like he was like the
first man diva to put these people on
59
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.199
on on a pedestal in a sense
negative or positive. Yeah, and and
60
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.639
back then, Yeah, you go
wear a baggy shirt way out of place.
61
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.920
Right, But now if you're going
out to a bar, if you're
62
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.959
going to like a nice little fucking
whiskey bar or something, and you kind
63
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.639
of dressed like Elvis, You're probably
not gonna be out of place because you
64
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.560
can kind of wear anything. Now, you can kind of wear anything,
65
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.000
yeah, which is cool. Colectic
has been a thing for a while Yeah,
66
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.319
that's why vintage closes are are cool, because like things are, plus
67
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.920
the rarity of them, right,
you know, there's a certain teas that
68
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.240
you know that I have some of
these Star Wars teas from the nineties that
69
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.560
you just can't find them. You
literally can't find them, and that's why
70
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.519
they're valued high and they look cool. The graphics are a little bit more
71
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.920
legit. Fast fashion wasn't as much
of a thing until you know, the
72
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.120
twenty tens, so some of the
qualities might be better arguably, so I
73
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.600
think a lot of that drives would
I do you know, I grew up
74
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.480
going you know, we grew up
lower middle class, and beginning of school
75
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.079
or beginning of basketball season, my
dad would go to foot locker and I'm
76
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.240
grabbing, you know, three for
ten twenty dollars tall teas, and I
77
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.680
just wore that everywhere. I wore
it to play basketball, I wore it
78
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.360
to school. Ever, I started
making a little bit of my own money
79
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.959
in high school. I started to
work, and I'd go to Zoomies and
80
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.120
buy some of the skateboard companies or
some of the street Where. Street Where
81
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.759
really didn't become like underground or a
real thing. And until like six seven
82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.920
eight, and that's when I started
finding the blogs and reading up on it,
83
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.160
and I don't really know what attracted
to me. I've talked about the
84
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:12.319
mission behind what we do and how
I think is just that everyone's self conscious
85
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.160
in some nature. Everyone has these
issues. But allowing yourself to look good
86
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.000
and feel good with how you dress
and being put together, I think can
87
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.279
go a long way. You know, It's often you see people that are
88
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.439
so broken, whether they're kids or
young adults, chest down, don't take
89
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.600
care of themselves, and I think
there's a correlation there. I think it's
90
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.600
I think it's like cyclical because I've
been there too. There's been times I
91
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.959
didn't shave, you know, we're
building this gym. I just wore the
92
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.560
same shirt and didn't shave for fucking
get a haircut for a year. I
93
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.000
didn't feel great about myself. So
once you start to do those, I
94
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.480
think you can build a lot of
confidence and how you carry yourself, which
95
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.759
obviously translates to whatever success is you
allow yourself to have. So that's kind
96
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.319
of what we try to do here, you know, rather than wearing the
97
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.120
same T shirt that you mow your
lawn with to go work out in.
98
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.560
How can you work out in a
shirt that you would actually go out in
99
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.720
and feel good? All right?
And I think that, like, you
100
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.680
know, as a as an apparel
company, like what we're trying to do
101
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.480
is give people like cool options.
Yeah, it's like things that and that
102
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.639
that kind of reflect them as people. And I think that's really sort of
103
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.199
the essence of style. It's like
dressing in a way that represents who actually
104
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.879
now more than ever. And if
if you do that, if you nail
105
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
that, people go, oh,
that looks really good, and I understand
106
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.639
you all in you know, all
all together. Yeah, that's the nature
107
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.079
of it now right where you know, even in the nineties growing up,
108
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.240
I would just see my dad wear
and he had nice suits, custom suits,
109
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.120
but he would wear a suit.
Not much. You can really express
110
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.959
yourself there, right, He's got
a navy one, he's got a gray
111
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.480
one, he's got a black one. That's all. You got ties in
112
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.319
the shirt color, a little bit, a little bit of the cut,
113
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.680
yeah, a little bit of the
shoes maybe, yeah, shoes, yeah,
114
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.759
But the variance isn't that much.
Yeah. I used to carry a
115
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.839
pen that costs like a little flare
and it was at the point that I
116
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.920
started banaging people. That's what I
got one because my boss had one.
117
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.759
It's like, I'm just going I'm
just doing this, Yeah, yeah,
118
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.800
they'll watch. It was much more
limited. That's probably where I watches became
119
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.160
a thing. Right, It's a
one way to express yourself when you're wearing
120
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.560
a suit yeh, or jewelry.
Some dudes would wear bracelets or something,
121
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.600
but that's the kind of the beauty
of the nowadays. Bobs make you to
122
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.600
dress a certain way, but a
lot of jobs are slightly more casual.
123
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.679
With how you dress, you can
really express yourself. You can be comfortable
124
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.000
functional. And then you had to
tap onto what Jim said, what we're
125
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.720
trying to do is just make some
a little bit more durable and higher quality
126
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:45.480
than I've seen in the game.
The actual inspirations themselves currently come from everywhere
127
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.360
and anyone creative. They made shit
up, they're lying to you. We
128
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.120
had a lot of talks with the
homie Shawali, who owns a Naka Russ,
129
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.039
who owns Get Better, and everyone's
you know, getting inspired by everyone.
130
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.559
I get inspired by soccer players I
see dress, seeing soccer jerseys.
131
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.159
Other companies Russ, sharey Bart.
I get inspired by everyone and everything.
132
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.759
Throw your twist or your flare on
it, or that idea sparks. Maybe
133
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.440
it sparked something brand new in your
head that you thought I've never been done.
134
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.519
But yeah, we're all just all
just trying to make cool shit.
135
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.720
And it doesn't have to be deeper
in that either. If it's fucking cool
136
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.600
shit, it's cool shit. In
the improv world, there's a thing called
137
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:30.759
a two C where you taking inspiration
form it and then your version has some
138
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.559
aspects of the original, but it's
so entirely different, so new yea.
139
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.960
Hopefully if that people get kind of
struck by Yeah, you know, yeah,
140
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.960
I ain't nobody like reinventing the wheel. No, you know no.
141
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.320
I will want to just point out
that just media that somebody asked Russ who
142
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.960
inspired him the most, and you
were number one inspired him most to get
143
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.960
to start lifting, Yeah one.
Him and I talked a lot in person,
144
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.360
because that's how I kind of grew
on social media. I think I
145
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.639
think I was just one step stronger
than everyone. Yeah, right, because
146
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.000
there's still a world class guys.
There was Dan and you could be inspired
147
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.320
by that for sure. But they're
so off and Dan's older too. Yeah,
148
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.519
yeah, but you know it's hard
to be inspired by someone so far
149
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.279
away from you. Right, I'm
dead lifting four hundred and he's pointing four
150
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.000
eight eight fifteen. But I was
like just one step ahead of a lot
151
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.840
of people because I started earlier,
and I have decent genetics, but I
152
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.200
just started earlier and everyonce people and
Russ said that Ben Rice was that for
153
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.080
me. I watched a lot of
Ben Rice and he was just a hair
154
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.840
stronger than me. I'm like,
and he was obviously world class. I
155
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.200
think he's even been the Worlds,
and I'm like, I'm gonna cash this
156
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.799
motherfucker. He's right there. So
I think I was kind of like that
157
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.759
with Russ. And then we have
a similar sports background, so we've always
158
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.960
related and always chatted over the years. True sports culture sneakers. I think
159
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.399
something we just grew up in and
as you know, that era wasn't like
160
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.679
that. You know, the probably
first time I ever stepped into a power
161
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.559
lifting gym super training, I was
probably weren't Jordan Twelves. That's what I
162
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.679
used to bention, you know,
like no one else is doing that now.
163
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.799
It's cool, but everyone else is
there wearing caterpillar boots because they got
164
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.600
off four Yeah, a lot of
chuck tailors, a lot of Yeah,
165
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.000
that's all there was. So I
think that's cool that powerlifting is slowly getting
166
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.799
its own niche of clothing. And
you know, the niche of powerlifting is
167
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.360
big enough to have its own culture
now. I think maybe the most important
168
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.840
distinction is rather than specifically shoes or
whatever. Back then, back when you
169
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.000
started with with with st like,
no one was wearing an outfit. No,
170
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.720
they didn't even think about Now people, yeah you care. People like
171
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.720
they put together what they're gonna wear
and it goes together in a way,
172
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.080
and you know, I think it's
cool. I think again, it leads
173
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519
back to the confidence thing. Like
you know, like as you could probably
174
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.399
see it, the powerlifters we used
to hang out with and where their self
175
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.799
esteem was as a human or as
a lifter versus people you see now their
176
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.399
self esteem as a human or a
lifter. You know, the outfit is
177
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.559
one piece of the puzzle for sure. Showing up every day, working every
178
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.360
day, working hard every day and
doing it for years builds your confidence as
179
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.080
well. It's it's a new generation
which school it's obviously younger sport two,
180
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.639
which plays a role. Right when
you're younger, you tend to care more
181
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.120
about how you look and perceived by
the world. But all that is I
182
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.840
think grown. You know, there's
I forgot his name, but there's an
183
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.559
Instagram guy. It's gonna be like
seventy and I think it's his son's page
184
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.799
technically dresses him up in I think
affordable looks based on what celebrities do,
185
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.200
and it's fucking super cool. You
know, you'll see like, whoever it
186
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.919
is, Bruno mar isn't a fit. And then they'll side by side with
187
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.159
a seventy year old like grandpa or
maybe it's his dad, and he'll wear
188
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.000
like the affordable version of that,
and his grandpa looks fucking rat. You
189
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.679
know. It's like Robin Williams used
to be really in a I'm not known
190
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.840
for it mainstream wise, but he
would dress some would say not appropriate to
191
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.519
his age or however you want to
put those words. I don't think there's
192
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.320
an appropriate for your age besides being
too young. Think if you're fucking over
193
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.679
eighteen, man, dress or iver
the fuck you want. And so I
194
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.679
think a lot of that is cool
and those borders are in tweaked. You
195
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.519
know a lot of people that are
still like high fashion guys are not are
196
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.519
like the top of the game,
aren't young anymore, you know. I
197
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.320
think Frol Williams is the name that
comes for all might be fifty now yeah,
198
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.240
you know, and he's one of
the leading names and influences in all
199
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.879
all fashion. Yeah you know,
which is just so different make Jaggers eighty
200
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.000
yeah yeah, like what yeah,
such a different game now, so yeah
201
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.720
yeah. And one of the things
I think I've talked about it before,
202
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.080
observed in our major cities in the
United States, and really a lot in
203
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.559
Europe, is that kind of people
of any age, particularly in Paris I
204
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.919
noticed this, but in London too, where people of any age like it.
205
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.519
And I don't know what they were
every day, but like the days
206
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.679
that I saw them like really sharp, just and it looked appropriate, and
207
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:01.279
people developed an impression of them just
based on what they were wearing and how
208
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.799
they carry themselves. I think that
and then you know, fucking keeping carry
209
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.399
your your your skins, you present
yourself, how your haircut, your your
210
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.679
fitness levels, your muscular levels.
I think that's all just becoming one cooler
211
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.519
on the broad scheme. But I
think it's cooler on the broad scheme because
212
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.600
the deeper meaning Israel, you know, and I don't always agree with that
213
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.200
stuff. There's a quote going on
Instagram motivational shit like some guy doesn't hire
214
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.720
everyone in this company has to have
a six That's obviously extreme, but I
215
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.919
understand his rudiment point is that if
they take care of themselves, they're more
216
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.080
likely to withhold other standards that they
set for themselves. Right, If you
217
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.759
set a goal of X y Z
going to the gym three days a week,
218
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.799
you go to the gym three days
a week. That's a win.
219
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.799
Internally, that's how you actually build
confidence. So if you can do that,
220
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.399
you can also hit go shoot,
you can hit the deadline from the
221
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.919
data sheet doesn't always translate. There's
tons of idiots and undisciplined people with six
222
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.360
packs. But the rudiment idea I
think is probably an overall win. Yeah,
223
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.519
I agree, Ladies, and gener
new episodes every Wednesday and Friday.
