It’s obvious that the NFL is the most popular thing on the planet, but they have just upped their cool status by introducing a new line of uniforms designed by Nike. They are called the Pro Combat Unis and they’ll be flying off the shelves when these jerseys hit the stores. Not surprising that the NFL would do something new and innovative since that’s just how they roll.
Now, we here at ChivCulture.com are just buzzing over what we are seeing in these new unis. They are fresh and they give a little pop to uniforms that otherwise weren’t all that special before. So it’s just another reason for us to get excited. There is nothing we like better than football Sundays.
Look out! There is a new trend in sneakers. You might have noticed it. These days the new school is old school. They say fashion comes full circle and they are right. Everyone is looking for the newest, hottest kicks around, but it appears that these kicks are coming straight out of the 1980s.
Chivculture.com knows about bringing new school old school. Even our own product line pays homage to a time when bigger was better, and that urban vibe was the hottest thing going. Now, the only difference between what they were doing in the 1980s and what we are doing now is now, we understand the importance of being classy. That’s why Chivalrous Culture is about being hip and being true to the gentleman inside all of us.
A perfect example of bringing old school back into the fold is Nike releasing the Jordan V. Back in the day, Jordan’s were by far the coolest thing on the market. Now you can get them again. Of course, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny but if you want to go totally retro, it’s there for you.
There are plenty of shoemakers who are bringing back that 80s flavor. Reebox, Adidas as well as K-Swiss are rocking fat laces and the old school look of the low-top kicks. Chivculture.com is melding the best of the old school style with the new school attitude. If the recent trends in fashion are any indication, we are on the right track. Old school is back.
Shoes are not just shoes. For the fashion-conscious gentleman, shoes are as much an expression of self as anything else he chooses to wear. It’s not just about form or function, but about the attitude and the overall presentation. When it comes to sneakers, this is no exception.
Sneakers are more than just shoes. They are a way of life. They are a fashionable expression in the form of urban style. To the casual observer, sneakers are just like any other shoe, but to the connoisseur, there is quite the chasm. And for those that know the difference, high end shoes are worth the price to be paid.
Don’t think for a minute this hip and modern form of chic expression is lost on fashion designers. Even the biggest names in fashion, those who stake their reputation on marketing “what’s in,” have done anything from dabble to immerse themselves in the luxury sneaker market. Louis Vuitton has been making sneakers for the hottest acts in hip-hop and he’s not the only one.
Even the more affordable sneakers on the market have become a stylish luxury item due to the flawless design from makers like Chivalrous Culture. On Chivculture.com, you’ll see that pricing them out of the range of the middle class gentleman is not the point; it’s about understanding the concept that every man deserves to look good whether they are rocking a Benz or the bus. Sneakers are not just casual wear, but the pinnacle of self-expression for urban gentleman everywhere.
Now that just about the whole world has gone green, we should have known the shoe biz wouldn’t miss this beat. OAT shoes created a line of sneakers that are totally biodegradable! They call it- the Virgin Collection, and will be available in European stores this spring in a limited edition run of 900 pieces, for both boys and girls! After rocking these kicks for as long as you want, you could throw them away or plant them and watch them bloom! Founded 2 years ago, OAT aims to concoct products that unite its customer with the environment in a creative way. Nothing’s more chivalrous than keeping our planet alive, so check these kicks out- you’ll be saving the world one pair at a time.
After an overwhelming response and outright sell-out from the original launch in 2010, Chivalrous Culture has reintroduced its flagship model – the Hamachi – in four of its most popular colorways for the Spring 2011 season. This is a limited time offer as only 2011 pairs were brought in for the first part of 2011.
Each of the four colorways conveys the brand mission of combining street-conscious footwear fashion with runway-ready appeal.
The ‘Black Tumble’ offers the classic lifestyle charm, combining smooth flat leather with a tumbled leather on the shoe’s upper.
‘Platinum Grey’ presents a street-ready option, with a full-suede look that’s ready to be paired with denim jeans.
For some added flare, ‘Burgundy Patent’ features a glossy patent leather complemented with tumbled leather in a tonal colorway.
The ‘Pure White Patent’ boasts a resplendent tonal white package prepped for a red carpet premiere.
