If someone asked you what your two favorite sneakers were, what would you say? For Houston Rockets superstar and Jordan Team member Russell Westbrook, he picked the timeless Converse Chuck 70 and the polarizing Air Jordan 16. Jordan Brand and Converse combined these two silhouettes into a pack, officially listed as ‘The Unexpected RW SP Pack’ …
With Fall just around the corner, I’m always interested to see what the latest coat options are for the colder weather. Someone who I’ve gone to for outerwear advice for years is my friend Alex Rakestraw. I met Alex a while back when he interviewed me for a HighSnobiety article. Alex and I immediately hit …
It’s been almost 25 years, but I finally got my hands on a pair of my favorite Allen Iverson sneaker in my favorite colorway with that red suede toe. I grew up watching AI at Georgetown and loved the way he played. He also wore some dope Nike sneakers during his time there, including the …

Back in middle school and high school, I was introduced to J.Crew. I’ve been shopping at J.Crew ever since the ’90s and loved their catalogs. They were a staple for classic chinos, button-down shirts and the softest tees. Looking back, the looks were pretty plain, but the quality was great. I was going for the Jerry …
For the first time in my life, I’ve found myself wearing tights every time I run. I’d really prefer not to, especially when it’s 75 degrees with 85% humidity at 7 AM in the morning, but I wear them for a very functional purpose: to hold my phone. Now that I use the Nike Run …
If you could only keep one button down shirt in your closet, which one would it be? Ever since I began working in a New York office 13 years ago, the button down shirt was a staple in my collection. Working at J.Crew HQ for 6 years, I had at least 40 button downs in …
