It’s Saturday, You Know What That Means!

By b. murphy | Published 05/15/2010

Oh hell yeah. Saturday morning. You know what this means!

A trip to the dump to hang out with Crazy Dump Guy. Can’t wait.

And the only outfit appropriate for this trip? Well, protectxyaneck knows what I’m talking about. He apparently knows a good look when he sees one. He doesn’t just have a pair of Fire & Ice sweatpants BUT he also has Shipwreck sweatpants. Great look!

Fun fact: I saw a kid in my neighborhood rocking Nike Banker Dunks and the brown Shipwreck wind jacket. Never seen him before, but he was definitely a local. He was digging stuff out of his trunk and bringing it inside. Kid, who are you? Speak up!

And now for something completely different …

Many of you know me as “Mr. Bane” or the guy who has a lot of crappy tees.

But I am more than that, thank you.

I’m also the guy who collects skate shoes from a short lived sneaker company called Savier. They put out some of my favorite skate sneakers, the Trainer or the Tim O’connor. Eventually, Nike bought them up, then shut their doors. But if you peep the trainer, you’ll notice it looks A LOT like the Nike Air Trainer One. Wild.

Anyway, I frequently check ebay for Savier related gear.

These hats would often come up. They started popping up by this seller in 2006. He would drop 10-12 and started his bids at $9.99. A few were snapped up, but others languished. He then brought the opening bids down to $4.99. None really moved. And then he dropped the bottom out and would put up 20 auctions at a time at $0.99 a wack.

No one bought them.

After 4 years of this, the seller had enough. Now you can buy 263 hats for the low starting price of $0.99. That works out to $0.004 per hat. You’re better off buying these and selling them for $1 a pop at a flea market.

LOL.

So, if anyone has any Savier Trainers in sz 12-13, hit me up. We’ll talk.

Shoes > Hardcore

I’m not sure what to say about this shirt.

At one point, this shirt felt like it was rare as hell.

But as time goes by, more and more start to pop up.

In fact, more and more “rare 1 of 2″ shirts seem to pop up. First we saw a hooded sweatshirt, then black tees, then a crewneck, then a longsleeve … next I’m expecting to see bucket hats and pajama pants.

I heard a rumor that there was a crew in Florida printing up these shirts over and over again. I’m not saying this particular shirt is a reprint / bootleg, but I’ve honestly never seen it before.

Supposedly made for band members (which last I checked, numbered higher than 2), lets see if we can find some clarification.

Mental Euro Tour 04 white/purple

Mental has a lot of gems.

This is without question.

This is one of my favorite Mental tees. I love the Mental Crew tee, but since it never fit right, it can’t make my top list.

But this shirt fits ill, and just looks fucking good. Throw on some retro Nikes and call it a day.

A few heads have this design on mesh caps. I don’t know how many were made. I’m not super into a the whole trucker hat scene, but some are.

I still need the purple shirt with white ink. Gimme, gimme!

Set Your Goals Elephant Skin Logo

By b. murphy | Published 12/30/2009

Set Your Goals. San Francisco Pop Punk.

Hardcore dudes, good times.

Something about this tee spooks me though. It’s not the upside down Jordan logo, mind you. It’s the elephant skin crackle. It could be the bootleg crackle. It really looks bootleg. Sort of funny.

Get into it.
