~~~~| Celebrities Rockin Heat (Fly gear/Fly kicks) VOL. IV | ~~~~

I think it's funny that the only people in Hip Hop giving Canada Goose the co-sign are from Canada themselves. :lol:

Like Drake and Tory Lanez. Out here in the DMV area, people in the hood and hood-aspirants rock Helly Hansen and some people still rock North Face. You still see the Steep Techs around here now that's it's hella brick outside. A lot of people don't know but they been rocking North Face where I'm from in the Bay in the hood since the 80's. North Face is a San Francisco based brand afterall. Peep what the young hustlers in Sunnydale, SF are wearing at the 1:23 mark back in 1989.



They didn't start wearing North Face in the DMV area until about 03'-04'. Folks in the DMV were getting murked over Eddie Bauer parkas in the 90's, not North Face or Helly Hansen. It's mostly the Starbucks set that rocks with Canada Goose out here. Do people in the hood in NY rock Canada Goose? I haven't been up north in a minute.

I think Moncler is a little different because alot of their jackets look legitimately fresh. If you peep their website, some of their coats look crazy.

Both Moncler and Canada Goose have indeed been bastardized by the exact demographic you described. Because of that wearing those brands is corny/tacky.

Now...The North Face has obviously been worn and has been popular with EVERY demographic out there. But...vintage TNF will forever be fresh and hood certified. TNF is timeless. There's similar pockets/posses/circles of vintage TNF wearers....like Lo Lifes are to Polo.

Agreed. Polo and North Face are on the same level of ubiquity and timelessness from Park Avenue to the project park bench.

That CG clark got on is heat. Canada Goose is def fly depending on the model you get

Ain't you from Canada though? I'm just guessing from your screenname. From what I've seen personally where I reside on the East Coast, Canada Goose mostly screams upper middle class pretentiousness/snobbery and not hoodrich fly ****. At least where I live. It might be changing though. What makes Canada Goose tacky is that folks that wear it think it's the freshest **** ever :lol:. Type of people that would stare at the Polo branding on your snorkel or bubble coat while they wearing their Canada Douche jacket. :sick: Like, bish, I got a Ralph Lauren Purple Label leather that cost more than 3 times as much as your Canada Goose that I didn't pay anywhere near $3K or even $1K for. :rofl:And it don't got a big *** patch on the outside telling everyone it's Purple Label or that it costs several stacks, the quality just speaks for itself. You couldn't tell a Canada Goose from a North Face McMurdo if it weren't for the patch on the sleeve most the time.

Bruh, you from the DMV, the snob capital of America. Only people from the suburbs use to term "DMV" because everybody actually from DC says they ain't from the DMV. MoCo and NoVa is as suburban and corny as it gets. Department of Motor Vehicles. Even people in the hood in DC are snobby. Like you can be from Paris and still get called a bama. People from the hood in DC/PG act like someone named DeMontrel from Barry Farms SE DC designed the Nike Foamposite One and Nike Boot in 1997.
 
Man im from canada, same part of toronto as homie Scarborough Scarborough and i dont rock with canada goose at all.

It is basically that same demographic you mentioned rocking it. Rich asians straight from HK and suburbanites. You might see a one two in the hood but not like that.
 
i agree with you guys on the demographic still.
In the hood i see mans with more CG vests, chiliwacks and Expedition
ill take that ALIFE X CG over any north face tho

Happy to live out in the NoVa suburbs I stay far away from the hood parts of DC. Only time I want to be in DC is catching a Wizards game, taking my daughters to a museum, or going out to eat. If that makes me corny or a bama cool.
