Priyanka put me onto a must have addition to my summer wardrobe, especially with that lovely changeable English weather. The latest version of the classic Nike AW77 training range looks like your standard Nike heavy duty grey cotton sweatshirt but its not. Its only flippin well waterproof. Well to use the correct term its water repellent and is more than likely part of the Nike considered range meaning its more eco friendly than other Nike products. Check out the magic below (apologies for the shit music but to paraphrase a bit of Nike PR just mute it)

Here is the technical info from the boffins at Nike hq:

“This highly engineered 400-gram organic French Terry cotton also receives an innovative water repellency treatment from Nike Design called DWR – meaning rain simply beads up and rolls off the AW77 hoodie, to help you stay warm and dry in adverse weather conditions.”

For those of us without the science degree DWR means Durable Water Repellency and is guaranteed to be 100% water repellent for 50 washes which is more than enough in my opinion. Priyanka found this at stylebubble where the girl who posts it seems to hate hoodies and be obsessed with Alex Mack claiming the AW77 is some sort of Alex Mack homage. If anything it seems the inspiration came from a certain Mr McFly and a self drying jacket he picked up in 2015…

AW77 hoodie will be available in stores and online from nikesportswear.com from August the 1st.

Just got off the phone talking to my mate Forms about anything and everything. He was trawling the net looking for a ‘Radio Raheem’ T-shirt after watching Do the Right Thing last night. As soon as he said that I wanted one too and after a bit of scheming we we’re both ready to go out and print ‘Bed Stuy do or die’ Tee’s and make a packet. As usual someone has already beat us to it. Check em out here they’re by a guy called cwmccart

While looking for that though I also found these ‘Radio Raheem’ dunks that are so 90′s its untrue. The ‘Love Hate’ detail on the tongue just seals the deal and really draws you back into the gawdy day glo early 90′s era style. It could be the hottest day of the summer all year round if you rock these.

I also found these Jordan Raheem tributes but without the ‘Love Hate’  motif they just lack the impact of the dunks and kinda look more like ‘Safari’s’ crossed with Jordans than real Radio Raheem crepage. More cross bred Jordans later though…

Finally straining the Raheem link to its most tennous here are some finger rings made by Bill McMullen, you can actually get ‘Love Hate’ ones but they are so swag Rihanna wears them. Shame she didn’t use them on Chris Brown would’ve been funny to see his pretty wife beating face with hate stamped backwards across it.

Totally unrelated  I just heard Jackie Chan has been confirmed as Mr Miyagi for the karate Kid remake
