Review: Zegna’s Solar Jacket Lights You Up

There was a time when you hear Reebok, you picture this mental image in your head of shoes like the Pump or some other hot model! Then came the clothes line, complete with jackets, shirts, shorts, pants, socks, and a horde of other cool stuff ‘cause you guys wanted to look good, correct that, great in sweats! Well, Reebok nowadays has already gone beyond the sports apparel series to introduce this new product. Imagine: your bag carrying your laptop, and on top of that, having a built-in stereo sound system for the listening public! Share your tunes with everyone! Be the life of the party! Enjoy!

The new NXT Speaker Backpack only needs a couple of AA batteries, and let the music begin. Enjoy your sounds anywhere, be it in the office, school, the canteen, or the park, but remember to bring a mace if that’s your thang! It’s compatible with a 3.5 mm audio jack. Now, that’s neat!
Initially only coming out in black, it’s stylish enough, although a few other color combinations won’t hurt. New colors are coming out soon. It’s also extremely affordable as a laptop accessory, so you don’t need to steal money form the bank or the cookie jar! Also, don’t expect heavy thumping tunes; if you want that, buy big stereo speakers! We can only do so much, you know!

This sleek bag is definitely a part of your must-have list! Be in! You know you want this!

DLO’s hunkydory StrapWrap is a classy universal neoprene case latches to most bag straps, allowing users to store iPods, cell phones and other cool tools  so that you don’t have to dig into your backpack each time you need something. The StrapWrap provides an extra-wide Velcro fastener which secures devices neatly fastened to a strap, while cushy neoprene shields most of the hidden devices. The lovely StrapWrap sells for $20 and affords  a main pocket and an extra pocket, capable of fitting in any device up to 2.5″ in width.

To be perfect, It should allow swimming….

I’d usually let my friends lust over the top-end shoes made by Prada and Feragammo. I mean, why spend $400+ on a pair of shoes that get battered and blasted after a few months use? What a waste of money right? Give me the cheapo Kenneth Cole Reactions for $40 anyday and I’m a happy duck

However, I have recently stumbled a branded casual loafer that by itself, is a finely crafted driving shoe. But, when the inimitable house of Vuitton slaped its famous “LV” across the top, the loafer is transformed from a mere weekend bum-off shoe to a virtual piece of bling for the feet. Something’s flashing in your eye? It must be the shiny initials on my podsies!

This shoe is amazingly comfortable and exudes more class than a stiff and uncomfortable Hugo Boss patent leather evening shoe! Take it on a date and watch the gals ooohhh

That’s what my wife told me.

“You wear a Prada bag, but your shirt screams 80s and your jeans look like they went through a grinder. If you weren’t my husband I’d dump you”

Sigh.

So I began scouring for advice on the web. “Metrosexual tips” she hinted to me as a starting search point in google.

I found a lot and discovered this wasn’t gonna be an easy task. For starters, I didn’t want to look err… queer… or badass. I just wanted to be me.

So wifey directed my browser to some site called Emoda (this isn’t some paid review, k?) where fancy threads were sold, opinions were rife and fashion faux pas were placed out in the daylight.

Instantly I was hooked. Man… not only did Rock and Republic jeans go for less than what Nordstrom charges me, I came across lotsa cool articles that ensure I won’t look like metrosexual road kill.

I’m still browsing the site right now and enjoying every minute of fashion nirvana!

Can there be a knock off vendor with honor? Hmm… that sounds like an oxymoron.

But truly there is!

My fashionista sister recently stumbled across a site selling imitations of brands without passing them off as originals like 1000s of miscreants out there.

Visit Highreplica. Right on the frontpage, they tell you that their stuff is all imitation. That doesn’t bother me though. Their prices are superb and my sister received an LV that looked just like the real deal she got at the LV store. Down to the date codes!

Now, no one can tell you’re carrying a -ahem - fake.

I just came across GlobalWholesaling and couldn’t believe my eyes. LV goes for $200. Prada for $80. Could these be original??

Smelling a fish behind the too-good-to-be-true offers, I fired up Google before swiping the Visa.

Whew. Saved by the big G. Turns out this site is owned by one guy who runs a network selling knockoff products straight out of China (hmmm.. these bags might explode or expel noxious fumes).

If GlobalWholesaling wants to sell, let it advertise with a conscience. Let the buyers know they are obtaining replicas. The business then generates trust even though its products aren’t particularly laudable.

GadgetUniverse proclaims it the most advanced technology in footwear- “The only shoes that make you feel like you are defying gravity. Walk taller and with more confidence than ever! ”

Cool claims! When two friends bought it and then eighteen eventually followed suit, I knew I had to scope it out.

My browser gave me the lowdown:

Scientists investigating shocks absorption for buildings during earthquakes discovered a special polymer that was both light weight and absorbed shock and vibration. This material lead to the revolutionary material used in the Catapult MMXT3 Gravity Defyer Shoe. The researchers and the engineers behind the Gravity Defyer Shoe surprised the entire shoe industry when they launched the first of its kind energy reciprocating shock absorbing sole in a dress shoe nonetheless!

It was scientifically constructed with a hidden 1/8 inch shock under the heal that releases its reciprocating resistance power each time you step. As your weight changes to the balls of your feet, the hidden shock absorber generates upward pressure pushing your body upward. This mechanism gives you the feeling of jumping like a kangaroo (or some say feel like flying) each time you step with the Gravity Defyer Shoe.

Hey, how about that! Shoes with real bonafied shock absorbers that bounce.

Bill let me try out his Marseilles model shoes - and in the 30 seconds I used it I was a convert. They did bounce. I actually felt like flying- from leather shoes!

Not even the Nike Airmax 360 or the Adidas Bounce KG gave me this much power and comfort.

These are real springs that BOUNCE! And bounce with a BOING!

I kid you not: you’ll bounce faster and higher with these secret agent shoes than Shaq Attack in Air Jordans.

And the comfort. Sublime bliss. Better feeling than memory foam. It’s literally walking on air.

I almost murdered my friend to keep his shoe.
