The APPLEBUM x New Era "Sunshine" Cap = Good Morning Sunshine!

"If you love Hip Hop or R&B music then the chances are you have heard a sample of the classic track from Roy Ayers, Everybody Loves The Sunshine. APPLEBUM pays homage to the classic song by using it as an inspiration for the latest Sunshine cap made in conjunction with New Era. On the front panels are the gold embroidery that reads “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” with matching APPLEBUM logo on the back and New Era logo on the left side. Whole cap is black except the middle section that is printed by a silhouette of a mountain range created by a sunrise in gradient. Currently this cap is available at the APPLEBUM online store and APPLEBUM stockists."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Over the past 5 years, Japanese streetwear emissaries, APPLEBUM, have managed to carve out quite a nice niche for themselves in the upscale streetwear global market. Their instantly recognizable and Hip Hop sneaker head relatable K.icks B.ox A.ll S.tars and Mixtape Collection full body prints celebrated the look of many a "poly acquisitional" (NOTE: Shout out to China for that clinical term for a nigga that likes to collect a bucnh of shit ... lol!) member of fly society's homes while simultaneously communicating that level of dedicated connoisseurship of the wearer to the public. To that end, the brand new APPLEBUM and New Era "Sunshine" Cap is yet another exciting fresh fitted nod to the ways of classic Hip Hop.

While many of Y.O.U. may be unfamiliar with the name Roy Ayers, I little doubt that Y.O.U. are more than casually acquainted with this Fusion-Jazz/R&B pioneers sonic works of art which have been sampled by various dusty fingered Hip Hop producers for over 2 decades now. His discography is the definition of "Ubiquity". I mean, except for Vampires, "Everybody Loves The Sunshine". Likewise, EVERYBODY loves the Roy Ayers tune that inspired this fitted.

In any event, this beautiful morning dawn sun drenched show piece for your dome piece is most definitely good money my nig. Aint nothing too "look-@-me-I-just-got-a-Karmaloop-discount-code-and-don't-know-how-to-act-with-mommy-and-daddy's-money" flashy about this item. Y.O.U. already know what it is. Keep your head up!

Whether Y.O.U. realize it or not, your very viewing of this online destination acts, in effect, as an electronic signature that indicates your full acceptance of the legally binding Livestyle user agreement. In exchange for my unique culturally liberating perspective and anti-trend high fashion editorials, Y.O.U. are entitled to much more than just hastily copied-and-pasted viral videos and images poached from other blogs. No, Y.O.U. clearly deserve much better and better Y.O.U. shall receive! I take immense pride in the advancement of knowledge - of all forms - and relish the opportunity to contribute to this ongoing conversation with specific regard to your individual refinement. This entry offers 1 such occasion.

Roy Ayers has a superior catalogue of music that spans longer than a line @ the D.epartment of M.otor V.ehicles. His genre bending creations have served as a lush garden from which Hip Hop beatsmiths have continually managed to harvest some of the best and most memorable samples the world has ever known.

"Everybody Loves The Sunshine" is 1 of Roy Ayers's most popular hits, however, this "low hanging fruit" of a record, while not obscure, is no less valuable to sample lovers like myself. This gem from 1976 is just 1 of those grooves that every O.G. Hip Hop enthusiast MUST have in their collection. This is 100% Kush blunt music on the beach ... in the Summer ... and I don't even smoke ... lol.

Anyway, although I have neither the time nor the patience to list every artist that has sampled this particular joint from Roy Ayers, for your listening pleasure, I have benevolently included the original record along with 1 of the most famous Hip Hop songs to have successfully sampled it. Come on ... how much do Y.O.U. L.O.V.E. me? LOL. You're welcome. You're ALL welcome!

RegularOlTy x Leaders 1354 x New Era Collab.

The First Lady Of LiveStyle Says: As the 3rd and final release, Y.O.U. might want to get your hands on these limited edition RegularOlTy for Leaders 1354 New Era fitteds. No 2 hats are the same and I can guarantee they will not be put into production again, as Leaders tradition is to never repeat the same hat twice. These one of a kind fitteds were scheduled to go on sale this past week, but due to a change in the sites shopping cart, luckily the release was pushed back to Monday 5/31. Y.O.U. already know how this goes, or atleast Y.O.U. should... Early is never early enough!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In "urban" (NOTE: I loathe such loaded language, however, in this instance, it makes sense and is entirely appropriate) fashion few things are as important as the fitted cap. The fitted cap is an essential staple that has consistently held the cool cosmopolitan aesthetic of metropolitan mode together for a very long time.

After all, the fitted cap is "fashion frosting" ... this is the "icing on the cake". Good shit!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In a stunning twist, when the Gucci luxury brand fell out of fashionable favor with their old guard "blue blood" clientele during the 1980's, it was Hip Hop that adopted this formidable Florentine label and resurrected their rich signature red and green flag!

This unsolicited - and most likely unwelcome - revolution helped save the Gucci dynasty from the brink of extinction. From authentic Gucci sweatsuits to the magnificent designer plagiarism of Harlem's legendary 24-hour a day bespoke baller outfitter, Dapper Dan, the G's adored the "GG"'s and, inadvertently, exposed a new generation of aspiring sartorialists to a new level of opulence. Consider brands such as Ralph Lauren Polo and Fila as gateway drugs and Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Hermès as the hardcore high end narcotics. Is an intervention even necessary? Nah, I didn't think so. LOL.

Anyway, fast forward to 2009 and, today, the Gucci Group is looking better than it ever has. In recent years, streetwear brands like Crooks & Castles have leaned on Gucci's distinctive red and green stripe heavily, so, it's about damn time that more fitteds feature this oh-so popular colorway! The uber limited (Only 30 production pieces) New Era Custom Brooklyn Dodgers 59Fifty "Gucci Colors" cap is as good as good money can get! Cop this ASAP! Impress your friends and steal home plate like the late, great Jackie Robinson ... word to P.ublic S.chool 320 AND E.bbets F.ield. Good shit!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Yes, Supreme fitteds are the shiddit and these new fleece flip down caps are the truth this Winter.  Actually, in the words of the great Stephen Colbert, the only hats more "truthier" than these dandies are the Supreme Box Logo trail flannel flip down caps.  Y.O.U. should wear more Supreme, but not too much - the horrible trendoid "hipster-bots" (NOTE: New word) are all over this brand like a cheap ass suit ... lol.  Good shit.  

TISA x MCM New Era Fitteds.

"You've already seen pieces from the TISA collection, but here are some from the collab between TISA and MCM, a German brand. These caps bring back some MCM patterns from the 80's. Along with these caps, TISA will be releasing a full collection of clothing. Here are the New Era caps, which come in two colorways, and well keep you updated for the clothing once we hear something. This collection is very interesting, so keep an eye out for it."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this bastardization of the original MCM snap-back cap (which I still have), but I'm not all the way against it either. The powder blue 1 is a NO-GO in my book, but the golden brown fitted might work with a good pair of old school leather construction Timbos. I will say this though, you don't see much MCM these days and that's surprising considering how much "hipsters" love all things retro ... I guess that they just don't know any better yo. What a shame, lames. It is what it is.
