title: "Air Jordan 1 Hi 85 Reverse Bred"

This was the shoe deal that mister "greatest of all time" took despite being
personally more interested in Adidas' "Forum" high top basketball sneakers.
But regardless of what Michael Jordan wore to international tournaments before
Nike locked him down for a couple of years, history seems to have been rewritten
and people seem to believe MJ always loved his Nike Air Jordans.
The "Hi 85" cut supposedly reconstructs the Air Jordan 1 to a specification that
hadn't been on the market in over 30 years, using thicker cuts of stiffer leather
to construct a flatter toebox, instead of the more bulbous ones made of pleather
that Jordan brand enthusiasts have grown accustomed. Amongst sneakerheads, this
particular silhouette is quite sought after, second only to actual original Air
Jordan 1s from the year 1985.
I couldn't get into the "reverse bred" colourway. The colour blocking just can't
compare to the original black/red design, and I always ended up wearing my other
pairs of sneakers because of it. So, I did the unthinkable, and destroyed any
semblance of resale value these shoes had by dousing them in acrylic spray paint.
I didn't put too much effort into my "ice cream paint job"; I only masked off the
bottom half of the outsole and the interior lining. I didn't bother preparing the
materials with solvents because I'm not concerned about the new layer of paint
not adhereing properly. If anything, I wanted it to be able to wear away and chip
off at high stress points in the material, revealing the original red and black
colours of the leather panels as I wear them.

title: "YSL Medium College Bag in Grey Goatskin with Gunmetal Hardware"

I carry this bag by its top handle so much that I've considered many times just
leaving the chain off, but then I have to carry more than one object and I'm
immediately reminded of how useful it is to be able to carry my things in a bag
without the use of my hands. The goatskin leather makes this much more durable
and hardwearing than Chanel lambskin, which the quilting is very reminiscent of.
The full-width slip pocket on the back and the magnetic closure make this even
more functional than a Louis Vuitton Pochette Métis in my opinion, which is
another popular bag with a similar silhouette.
I am lucky. There's no doubt about it. How else could one describe the situation
I'm in? Not only do I have the privilege of being able to spend so much of my time
reading about the quality and details of luxury leather goods just to deliberate
over which of them I should consider adding to my wardrobe's collection, but
someone actually loves me enough to not only look past what could only be observed
as unhealthy obsessions with material objects, but is even willing to go so far
as to actively indulge me in those obsessions!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my boyfriend bought me this purse. Of course, it's not
a purchase he made completely independently, but these items are so expensive and
designed in such specific ways with so many varying options for details, that
buying one of these things for a fashion nerd like me would be akin to buying
someone a new video card for their computer: certainly not impossible with enough
time dedicated to researching compatibility, but so little room for error that
there really isn't a reason to just ask what the person specifically wants,
because the fact that any interest in supporting this at all exists means more
than almost anything else.
