Fly Season: How WE Do (Military Peacoat)


YESSUH!!

We're not stylists, by any means, lol. But that doesn't mean that we have a problem showin' y'all how WE do things. So this may be a "Fly Season" post, but it's the first of many to come, where we kinda show you what we dig and how we'd throw it together. Peep game..

There's nothin' more timeless than a good quality military peacoat. We dig the simplicity, but we also like that you can go either casual or slightly more dressy, when rockin' one. You can flip the collar, if that's your thing, or just let it chill. Either way, it's a sure good look, and if you freak the under layers right, you'll always look dip' in it. The one above is from Nautica, and it goes for around $385.

Check out that sweater underneath! That's from Tretorn, and that retails for about $168. Nothin' too crazy, any cool wool or cotton sweater with a nice neckline will do just fine, either circular or v-neck. Step your jeans up too, 'cause if the jeans don't flow with the other pieces, you'll be lookin' a lil' "sale-rackish", and you don't want that, lol. The jeans on our example above are from APC, and they run for around $155, not bad at all.

See, folks, simple always wins. When you're try'na do too much, it's gonna look like you're try'na do too much. So keep it basic, but fresh at the same time. We'll holla..

Models & Freshness: Rosa Acosta for Supreme










Back like we left somethin'!!

This one's for the homie Sheez, since Rosa's his peoples. We thought it was only right to salute the lovely Ms. Acosta, because she's been tearin' the scene up lately. Not only are her "stretch videos" a hit online, but she's been poppin' up in music videos for everybody from Drake to Mario, where she usually showcases his incredible skills in the flexibility department, lol.

She's actually a trained dancer, NOT that kinda dancer, but a classically trained ballet dancer. She's been trainin' since the age of 4, and graduated with honors from the ICA and the Ballet School of Norma Garcia with a Bachelor in Art with mention to Classic Ballet. She also became part of the Dominican Nacional Ballet as the youngest soloist member in 2002. So she's been gettin' busy, and we expect to keep on doin' so.

Nice!! 1..

Kicks Flow: Adidas Tokio Pack





Kicks time!!

Originally produced in 1964, the adidas Tokio was the sneaker-of-choice for many runners. Fast forward to 2009 and the Tokio gets a nifty makeover with this pack direct from adidas. Featuring two OG colourways in the low version and a dope high top cranker to finish the pack off, you can cop all three now at Schuh.

I'm just sayin', if you can, cop ALL three flavors. It's only right, people..

Fly Season: Sasquatch Rabbit Fur - New Era Trapper Cap

You can never have too many..

With trapper New Eras running rampant this season, Japanese label SASQUATCHfabrix previews one of the most luxurious versions we’ve seen. Taking cues from the O.G. hats worn by actual fur trappers, the cap sports genuine rabbit fur earflaps over a nicely textured grey wool.

An SF logo plays close to San Francisco, but in fact references the SASQUATCHfabrix brand name. Available this season at select retailers.

Go get yours..

Models & Freshness: Gabriela Barros






We are BACK, people!!

Sorry about the small lil' hiatus, but The Academy is back in the swing o' things. Doin' things how we do 'em, we had to show some quick love to Chile's own, Gabriela Barros. She repped Chile in the Miss Universe pageant in 2004, and popped up in the international version of Maxim magazine in August 2006. We definitely dig her, and hope y'all do too. Salute!!
