Adidas Chicago Bulls

Hi Guys,

For this outfitpost I wanted to show you a darker look than you are used to see at my blog.The colors are black, red and anthracite for this look.


I found this real cool Chicago Bulls basketball Jersey for sale at the Adidas shop. Couldn't resist to not buy this top. Its officially a NBA (national basketball association) shirt. For the people who don't know the NBA, it's one of the biggest national sport competitions in north america, since 1949. Before that it was called BAA (Basketball Association of America). In 1966 were the Chicago Bulls born and a part of the NBA.

Its a short sleeve shirt, what's a bit cold for this season. 
So styled this outfit to show you a more fall look. The black leather, fake fur hoodie makes the outfit wearable at any time, nice for the cold weather and is really comfortable. To keep a bit of edge in the outfit I choose my vintage 90's platform shoes/creepers
shoes to wear underneath. I bought these shoes in Rotterdam at a dumpstore a few years ago. 

The hoodie is from Sneaker Freak, the black cap and the wax jeans are both from H&M, the Jersey basketball
top is from Adidas, bracelets are from Weekday and from the market.

Have a great start of the week!

Gabbers VS Clubkids

Hi Guys,

For this blogpost I was inspired by the cool subculture from the Gabbers with my vintage cobalt blue oversized bomberjacket. Gabbers arised in the 90’s. The origin of the gabbers is the Rotterdammers rebelling against Amsterdam.
At first it was a real regional style, but after 1994 it became more popular. The term ‘gabber’ means buddy or friend in Yiddish. I'm not a Gabber but it's so funny to know, cause i'm originally from Rotterdam;)

The clubkids signature is the typical Platform shoes i'm wearing for this blogpost. I have also worn these in some previous posts, in combination with the net material of my sweather.
This subculture were young creative folks late 80's, begin 90's and were mostly outsiders from the society. Gay, lesbian, biseksuals, Transgenders (LGBT) or just creative people that loved to express themselves with their elaborate and outrageous costumes. This in combination with a lot of party, sex and drug use.

Two total different styles/subcultures that I liked to combine for this look. Made it my own because of the color of the bomberjacket and the sporty Adidas bag.

This bomberjacket is vintage and bought this one at Episode in Utrecht. The black pants I'm wearing is a slim fit J.C.RAGS  wich I also bought in Utrecht. The net sweather is from Zara and the cobalt blue bag is from Adidas. The silver fishhook bracelet is from Weekday.The Silver necklace is from SIX. The platform sneakers are from YRU.
