My Gear: Nike Air Max 90 ‘OG’

Bally Sabatino Boot
Summer is coming to an end in a few days and before you know it it’ll be time to pack away the lightweight sneakers and shoes and break out the boots. I’ve always been a fan of hiking boots. My favorite back in the day were the Timberland hiker, Eastland’s and the Super Timberland...

Lately the weather hasn’t been very typical of November, or October for that matter, but now that its December 1st we should expect more consistent seasonal weather.
