Vans x Rowley Pro

The Rowley Pro shoes were originally sold between 1999-2007 and always wanted one since I first started skating. Fast forward 5 years later and these are back and better than before. Thankfully, Vans' Black Friday sale allowed me to scoop these up for a very good price and I can't wait to skate them.




I really wish I didn't lose the pic of Geoff Rowley and I, but I'm stoked I still have a Thrasher magazine signed by him.

Adidas x Mark Gonzales

Here's a pretty awesome Mark Gonzales tee I grabbed at the Black Friday sale at Adidas. Couldn't let this one go and I might go back to buy a pair of skate shoes as well.



I also purchased a nice recyclable tote bag for half off the original price tag. Now these, I'll get more of.




There are so many amazing video parts from this guy, but I'd might as well post the one that started them all.

Philadelphia Phillies x Chase Utley [2003-15]

I know my blogging has been pretty scarce lately dealing with school and all, but at least my latest entry is about a jersey. This Philadelphia Philles Chase Utley uniform is something I completely forgot I owned and now that I found it - it's worth writing about.


I purchased this a while ago at a store closing sale and although the newer replica baseball jerseys aren't the best quality nor my favourite, you can never beat a good deal. This is the home white style the team wears with screen printed tackle twill numbers and letters on the front and back. Seeing how Chase Utley is still active in Major League Baseball, this entry will be very short.


Born in Pasadena, CA, Chase Utley was drafted 15th overall by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2000 Amateur Draft and made his professional debut in 2003. His first at-bat was a grand slam and became a permanent club member the next season solidifying the 2B position. In 2006, he made an appearance to his first All-Star Game and earned his first Silver Slugger Award.


In 2008, he helped the Phillies to their first World Series appearance since 1993. They ended up winning the Fall Classic 4-1 against the Tampa Bay Rays with Chase Utley hitting a low .168 with 2 home runs in that 5 game bout. But at the end of it all, he finally had the chance to hoist The Commissioner's Trophy in his tenth season in Philadelphia.


As of the 2013 MLB season, Chase Utley has 1,410 hits, 217 HR, 808 RBI, 129 SB, and a batting average of .287.


Career Highlights and Achievements:
5× All-Star [2006–10]
4× Silver Slugger Award winner at second base [2006–09]
World Series Champion [2008]
Sports Illustrated MLB All-Decade Team [2009]
Fielding Bible Award [2010]

No Age x Weirdo Rippers

Finally found a copy of No Age's debut LP. Their albums are harder to find than hen's teeth [Bob Dylan reference] and now the quadfecta is complete.
