Peace be unto you, good people of the interwebs. Your very own TTAG Blog returns, bringing tidings of fire garments and fresh accessories, such as these Taka Hayashi Court Hi LXs from Vault by Vans. If you're unfamiliar (shade☂️), Taka Hayashi is a super cool dude who designs super dope footwear, as evidenced by the borderline NSFW photos of those kicks above. Vault is the Vans premium label, hence the 170 USD price tag attached to the embossed branded tongue tab. Damn, that's like twice my annual sneaker budget. Not that I have an actual annual sneaker budget, but you get the point: these are expensive sneakers. What else would you expect from this blog? You think an election can make me change my shit? Fuck that. STOCKTON. It's all good though. You should buy yourself something nice. Comfort yourself through considered consumerism. I'm only half-joking. Ignore what the old songs tell you: material goods can make you happy. Or at least they can momentarily distract you from the quotidian horrors of this world. Sometimes that's enough. I promised myself I wouldn't let this post become a bummer, so let's change the subject to something less depressing. A Tribe Called Quest has the number 1 album in the country. How fucking cool is that? That fact just tickles my soul. And now I'm smiling again. I'm gonna put a dumb pun in the title. Quick PSA before I bounce: be good to each other out there. Now is the time to double down on nice. Let's make something happen. Word to Phife Dawg -RB
