Neighborhood 20th Anniversary Kung-Fu Jacket – Ever since Supreme came out with the Kung-Fu jacket, I thought streetwear was heading toward a slow decline, but then I popped onto Broadway in Los Angeles’s Chinatown and tried one on. Bruce Lee and his disciples were onto something because this Kung Fu jackets feel great. It’s like stepping up your sleepwear game, and this one from Neighborhood is like the Cadillac of pajamas. Using 100% cotton dyed naturally by indigo, the jacket features the traditional knotted buttons, and three large placket pockets. The jacket also comes with reinforced elbows – absolutely necessary to block that roundhouse kick.

adidas by RAF SIMONS – Ten years ago, Yohji was the only one doing designer sneakers at a global scale, but since then RAF SIMONS has climbed on board and 2015 looks like a doozie. The latest Bounce by RAF is just nuts. Squint your eyes a bit and tilt your head to the left and the shoes look like a snowmobile. The orange tubes in the outsole is a new adidas cushioning system and the designer goes in with wild prints for the uppers. The designer sneaker market is one of those niche markets that are fun to look at, but rarely ever practical to buy. If this is your thing, then RAF SIMONS is coming in strong.

WINDSTOPPER® x Stussy 35th Anniversary Denim Jacket – It’s hard to believe that Stussy’s been around for 35 years, but this stalwart in men’s fashion is still going strong. Their anniversary denim jacket is proof that the SoCal based streetwear brand has still got it. Using a breathable wind and waterproof double-layered fabric from WINDSTOPPER, the denim jacket can take on just about anything. The back cinch is also a nice touch and should come in handy when it’s time to button down.
