Fall 2019 Lookbook pt 2
Photography & Videography by Matelli Graves
The intent of Model Ministry is to make men more confident & competent in their clothing choices, no matter the budget or style. To execute that idea, I've linked up with Matelli Graves, who is an excellent photographer & videographer (as well as one of my good friends) to create a lookbook around the fall season with four different styles.
The 2nd look is another one for the warmer weeks of fall & also features my own personal merch with a restock.
I absolutely love Mitchell & Ness shorts. I own several pair. The authentic pair has better quality & is more expensive, but to me it's worth it. They do not have pockets because, you know...they're authentic NBA shorts, but pairing them with a shoulder bag or fanny pack will be fine.
I was slow on the Jordan IV bandwagon. As noted in my November Sneaker Releases vlog, I bought a pair of Mars Blackmon IVs back in 2005-2006 & they looked huge on my feet. So when Jordan Brand announced they were retroing the classic Bred colorway, I passed. Being 6'5" in a lanky frame, we have to be mindful of the types of shoes we wear, it isn't just Balenciagas that would look like clown shoes on our feet. Come to find out, I bought those IVs a size bigger (for whatever reason) & IVs actually make my feet look smaller. Since then, these haven't left my feet. I absolutely love them & they're one of my favorite releases of the year.
Not gonna lie, I don't know much about Vetements, but I love these socks because they are made completely out of 3M. Super dope.
And I brought out my Losers Win crewneck from last year. Slightly oversized. Gray base. So the shorts ultimately shine, but it's a heavy crew so I'm well protected if the temperature decides to dip.
I decided to restock these crewnecks in November with a slight twist. There are two kinds of crews...a budget crew & a premium crew. I wanted to make my merch affordable for everyone, so I introduced the budget tier. Slightly cheaper & though the quality isn't the best, you can still be part of the family. The premium crewneck has a Champion base, so it's heavier. It's more expensive, but to me it's well worth the cost.
Both are available from November 12-November 30 at shop.armondwakeup.com
