FEATURE: UNDFTD Shoes

FEATURE: UNDFTD Shoes

Sneakers, kicks, shoes, call them what you will, but separate yourself from the pack, man. I love mine. I don’t have Air Force 1’s. I don’t throw away my classic white K-Swiss because they’ve got a mark on them. But I do take my shoes seriously. I shop around and [...]

STYLE: Loudmouth Golf

STYLE: Loudmouth Golf

Psst.  You.  Yeah, you.  The one wearing the khakis that look like cardboard.  I’ve got a story to tell you.  A while back when I was in a Niketown store I came across some of their golf attire.  I saw a short sleeved shirt in a killer color and a great fabric.  I bought it. [...]

FEATURE: On All Fours

FEATURE: On All Fours

Exotics. I loooove them. That grumbling of the exhaust when they are started up, and the ensuing growl when the accelerator is pressed.

I stayed in a hotel in Sardinia that had a fleet of Maserati Quattroportes. They would come and go in pairs, and that little convoy would invoke imaginings of international espionage, or a [...]

ADVICE: How to stop smoking in style.

Smoking is bad for your health.  I’m not trying to make a judgment call, it’s just a fact.  We want you to go out after making love to your supermodel wife on the hood of your Porsche Cayman with Cristal everywhere.  We don’t want you to go out with something as pedestrian as lung cancer.

DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

Nice van. Not words that you usually hear paired in a sentence. It’s like ‘genius supermodel’, or ‘honest politician’, it just doesn’t work.
Mercedes Benz is known as a purveyor of delicious automobile candy here in the states. But beyond our borders, they are known also for making super-compact cars, trucks (as in [...]

FEATURE: Matte Black

FEATURE: Matte Black

Just yesterday I was driving in some LA traffic, lost in thoughts of the latest dimepiece, when I noticed a matte black BMW 7-series next to me. Although I recognize the 7 is quite a force to be reckoned with on it’s own, I don’t know that it moves me to WOW status. [...]

ICON: Bruce Lee

How many time can you say ‘kick ass’, and mean it, literally?  Bruce Lee, born Lee Jun Fan, kicked some serious ass, and he did it with style.
His signature “HI-YAAAA” is all you need to hear to know there is going to be some amazing fight sequences. He whupped Chuck Norris in Way of the [...]

CLASSIC MOVIE: Tron

CLASSIC MOVIE: Tron

Waaaay back in ancient history, 1982 to be precise, before everyone had an iPhone or a gaming system, yes, even before facebook, there was a movie made named Tron.  Oh, you’ve heard of it?  It was a great science fiction movie based on the premise that there was some kind of an almost human power [...]

FEATURE: Sole Searching

FEATURE: Sole Searching

I’m not a big fan of wearing shoes unless I have to and they are some kick ass shoes.  Not kick ass like in a Bruce Lee kind of way, but kick ass in a Zoolander walk-off kind of way.  California surf culture combined with increasingly acceptable casual fashion has led sandals to be pretty [...]

STYLE: Lululemon

What the %&$#@!! I know, I know. It’s yoga clothing for women… kinda. And then again, not so much. When Lululemon first opened a few years ago in Los Angeles, I didn’t think too much of it. One day while walking by I poked my head in, and the cute girls strolling around inside made [...]
