New York Knicks x Patrick Ewing [1985-97]

Today's post is a New York Knicks Patrick Ewing jersey. Very amped to have this in the collection. This entry will only cover his career with the New York Knicks.


This is the road style uniform worn from the mid-80's to late 90's and made by adidas. Just like all swingman jerseys, this is made with screen printed orange/white tackle twill embroidered into the blue mesh body.


Born on 5 August 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica, Patrick Ewing was drafted first overall by the New York Knicks. Throughout his first season in New York, he would earn a spot in the 1986 All-Star Game, the Rookie of the Year Award, and named to the All-Rookie Team all while averaging 20.0 PPG, 9.0 RPG, and 2.1 BPG.


His presence with the New York Knicks would be most beneficial qualifying for the playoffs almost every year including 2 NBA Finals appearances [1994, 1999]. With multiple All-Star Game selections, he was also named one of the 50 Greatest NBA Players of All Time. After his final season with the New York Knicks in 2000, he was the team's all-time leader in points with 23, 665.


Patrick Ewing officially retired in 2002. During his tenure in the NBA, he averaged 21.0 PPG, 9.8 RPG, & 2.5 BPG in a total of 1, 183 games played. He is currently the Asst. Head Coach for the Charlotte Hornets.

New Balance Numeric x 533

Grabbed a pair of the New Balance Numeric 533 skate shoes from an outlet store and couldn't be more stoked considering how much I didn't have to spend. Although I encourage skater owned companies, the deal was too good to pass and basically got these for free.


It's constructed from a suede upper, rubber logos, and a cupsole outsole for impact protection. It also has built-in arch support for extra comfort. I do suggest going a half size up when purchasing from this brand.



The team is stacked with some of the best ams and pros. NB# rider PJ Ladd also favours this shoe very much.

99 Stories of the Game x Wayne Gretzky Autograph Signing

The greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, is currently doing a tour through Canada to promote his newest book 99 Stories of the Game. He made the trip to Oshawa, Ontario and it was an event I could not afford to miss.


99 Stories takes a look at the first 99 years of the NHL through the eyes of The Great One. I read a heavy bit of it and found it most interesting. I encourage you to grab a copy, especially if you're a hardcore hockey fan.


My mom took a great shot of myself and Wayne Gretzky. Sadly, management enforced a "no memorabilia" policy even to the point where fans had to remove jerseys and hats. The publishing company and location of the event shall remain nameless and shamed.

Heroin x Enemy x Daniel Shimizu

Switch was still having a sale on a few decks and I just had to grab one for the fall season. Even though it's getting hella cold out here in Canada, extra layers will always help. I picked up this Heroin Daniel Shimizu pro model. I've always wanted to try this brand and he just happens to be one of my favourite pros. Furthermore, the graphic is just too good to put stickers on. Support your local skate shop.

Dylan Rieder [1988-2016]

This post is dedicated to the late pro skater Dylan Rieder. This past Wednesday, he passed away from complications of leukemia. He rode for Fucking Awesome, Thunder Trucks, Spitfire Wheels, HUF Footwear, and Supreme. He received Transworld's Best Video Part Award for "cherry" in 2015.
RIP Dylan Reider, you will be missed.

Chicago Bulls x Michael Jordan [1984-85]

Blogging today is a Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan jersey styled from his rookie season between 1984-85. I grabbed this off a seller online for a decent price considering its condition. I do plan on altering it in the near future, so stay tuned for that.


This is home version of what the team wore in 1984-85. It's a white mesh body with screen printed tackle twill numbers and letters embroidered onto the front and back. These came out in the late 2000s as part of the Nike Michael Jordan 8403 collection.


Michael Jordan was drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. Within his first season, he averaged 28.2 PPG and played in all 82 games including a playoff appearance where he averaged 29.3 PPG. His efforts earned him a spot at the 1985 All-Star Game and the Rookie of The Year Award.

éS Footwear x Accel OG

Picked up another pair of the éS Accel OG shoes at Switch's long weekend sale. These are in the navy and white colourway with the classic 3 stitched toe box and cupsole. I highly recommend grabbing yourself a pair of éS Shoes to support local skate shops and core skate shoe companies.


PJ Ladd wore the éS Accel shoes throughout his legendary Wonderful, Horrible Life video part in 2002.

Montreal Expos x Vladimir Guerrero [1996-03]

Posting today is a vintage Majestic Athletic Montreal Expos Vladimir Guerrero jersey. Vladimir Guerrero played for the Montreal Expos from 1996-2003 and became one of the best hitters in the league.


This is the home pinstripe version the team wore in their final 11 seasons. The letters, logos, and numbers are stitched in double layer tackle twill.


Born on 9 February 1975 in the Dominican Republic, Vladimir Guerrero signed with the Montreal Expos in 1993 and made his pro debut 3 years later. He would stay with the club for 9 more seasons. After multiple All-Star Game appearances, an AL MVP Award, and several Silver Slugger Awards, he officially retired in 2014.


Career Highlights
9× All-Star [1999–2002, 2004–2007, 2010]
AL MVP [2004]
8× Silver Slugger Award [1999, 2000, 2002, 2004–2007, 2010]
