 why start a facebook page  NY/NJ LO exchange ?

  I use to be a member of other sites and a part of other pages and saw things getting out of hand. Pricing was too high, instead of business as usual it was sort of getting side tracked and off the subject which was meant to be for the love of this LO culture.  So I felt the need to make a change and contribute to this lifestyle rather than take and take without any intentions of giving back.

so what is your vision for  NY/NJ  LO Exchange?

  As long as we keep it in the same form from the streets it came from, it stays authentic. It attracts the same energy with the the same core values and the common love for LO. That being said it makes sure everyone stays on the same page with pricing. Most important it conserves this culture from getting watered down.  Its not a page for your average kid that goes to Macy's or Nordstroms. 
  I would scout facebook for individuals who I felt would bring that  certain vibe, who were knowledgeable  and knew there history. Now the page gets support from respectable Lo heads, collectors, team R.L.P.C, LOLIFES and Devine Bradley who know there LO.  So its not just a marketplace, its a place of information you can tap into and find it resourceful.

what line do people know you to throw down with?

I would have to say the tennis line. I like the simplicity of the lettering and designs . Tennis lines can be combined with a numerous ammount of fall to summer lines. Its like one big puzzle when you complete that perfect layout.

whats your affiliation with LOLIFES? 

  Growing up I never heard of LOLIFES, I ran with a few of the LO kids from Newark N.J.  shout out to polo ice (LO styles crew, AYAK LL) We were regular highschool kids who liked deep underground house music. We got heavy in the dance scene we would go to clubs like Sound Factory and  the Play House  you know that Lui Vega type of vibe.  We had to stay fresh every weekend, not only that the first day of school was important to come in a represent.  We was hitting A&S and BFO.  Spreading out and boosting in the Polo, Tommy Hill, and Nautica sections in the department stores. 
  I collect music as well, one day I walked in a record store and saw an album cover with a dude holding a polo volley and basketball with a RL flag in the background. It was titled "Polo Rican" by Thirstin Howl 3rd, I had to cop it. My boys were like "why you playing this?"  I'd tell them "this dude talks about how we live day to day ,"  this movement was already in full effect in Brooklyn and Queens. Years later I went to Rack LO's annual LOLIFE bbq. There he told me Ive been living the LOLIFE style BEK live was the one who gave me my LLs.

any new lines from Ralph Lauren that catch your eye?

I like the aztec goosies the colors and patterns stand out to me. Im checking for the new bears vintage that Ralph Lauren is re-releasing.

is there anything other than Polo that you like?

 Benetton, Fila, DKNY tech, they have that untouchable fresh look from back in the days.

how do you feel about custees?
  
 I think its a good look. To have 1 of 1 in the world, and it speaks your mind. Ive designed nikes with the teddy bear and show cased it. I named it "bear soles".  

what are the do's and dont's for trades?

1. dont deal if you dont have dubs of itees, cause you might regret moving a piece later down the road. It really depends on how bad you want that itee and what you can live and live without.

2. go with your instict! dont deal if your feeling like you walking away like you got played. Both sides must be happy
3. do your research on itees, dont be afraid to ask someone with credentials and good referances. thats what the   NY/NJ LO exchange is for. Its always good to have a good source whenever in doubt of a garment. Someone with credibility in the game. I usually go to my good friend Derrick stashLO(Bed stuy) We cant ever say we have seen all uncle Ralphy has done lines, colors made in japan only items. The possibilities are endless.

4. dont get caught up in the hype of an itee just because a certain celebertey wore it.  Its not about who has more power itees its how you wear it. 

any plans for the LO exchange?


be on the look out for a website page of the  NY/NJ LO exchange. The new site will be a mix of ebay and a forum with features like paypal to prevent frauds and secure deals.
