 Happy August and welcome to a new month of pickups. And I've got a lot of pickups this month from a cold wall to different sling bags. This is a good one brought to you by the Karma Shopping Extension. Link in the description. Let's check them out. So let's start off with a brand only the tech community would know and I'm glad to be sharing with y'all. And that is this tank top from Gorilla Group and this one is called the SIG panel tank and I got it in a size small and I am 5'7", 156 pounds. Now for those of you guys that don't know Gorilla Group, this is an incredibly affordable technical fashion brand out in Taiwan and they have been featured in a few high-piece articles which is always good to see and yes when you check out the price of this item for 80 bucks that's kind of stupid. Okay but at least you get a pretty dope item. You got an elongated look which did leave the street wear scene years ago but has kind of stayed around in the tech community and more higher end looks. It has this grid pattern that would make this a great layering piece that is also moisture working and it is without a doubt the most breathable tank that I own. This is the carbon gray colorway which is what I recommend. You're really only going to see all black when it comes to tech wear and that can sometimes make you look like a silhouette but gray is slightly lighter than black which contrasts against the rest of your fit and I really dig it. And Gorilla Group does have your normal tank with the same properties, moisture wicking and all that just without the hem if you guys are into that as well. And next up is my favorite pickup of the year and that is the Nike Giyakusou Vaporfly Next Percent. And my oh my are these a beautiful sneaker that literally changed the landscape of the running community. Nike created such a good running sneaker that it would cut down times and it works so well that these sneakers even got banned. Well partially banned, it's a whole spiel. And this one in particular is a collaboration between the Giyakusou running brand started by Jun Takahashi and Nike. This sneaker was made for running, specifically long distance running and clearly I am not a runner but I can appreciate this sneaker for all that it is. I mean I do go for runs and sprints and I do a little bit of hit cardio and even with these on you still notice a difference. So me being a fashion channel I really like the way these look aesthetically and these sneakers are just super lights probably the lightest sneaker that I own and I just love the way it looks the vapor weave technology which gives your feet more breathability all that Nike technology pumped in here I think it really looks great with tech fits. So here you see me in a tech fit you got this Y3 over shirt a tank top these cargo pants and then these sneakers just fit so well with the vibe and yes a little unnecessary I'm not going to do a marathon in a tech fit but aesthetically these are so beautiful but if you look at the price tag and you pay this much money for a sneaker you better be using it. Nike still does have these in stock as of the recording of this video but there's also the normal next percents as well that's not the collaboration. They are a little bit pricey still so if I were you I would tag the sneaker and wait for a sale or a discount with the sponsor of today's video Karma.

picked up a few bags so let's start off with this sling messenger bag that I got from folk I mean there's nothing really too crazy about this bag this is more for streetwear outfits because all I have really are more tech wear bags so this is a good addition to my bag collection I wanted a lighter beige color bag and this was the one it's very small which is fine it's just there to keep the essentials and beige just that color I think pops really well on street fits rather than having black bags all the time the other bag that I got is this sling bag from CP company some people know about this brand some people don't and for those of you guys that don't you guys know Stone Island right yep same founder and founded before Stone Island actually CP company is known for their circular lenses like the Stone Island patch and actually funny story the the first time I found out about this brand is actually through jury duty of all places right one of my juror friends was walking around with the hood up and then the lenses across his eyes which is kind of weird to me and then he had a lens on his wrist area with a watch so he can check the time whenever it was raining and I thought oh that's pretty cool and then I just went back to deliberating later that day but the brand always stuck in my head I just couldn't afford it before anyways the sling bag is dyed very nicely kind of has that grungy futuristic look which makes this bag really stand out and why I like it a lot there's two strap pockets in front that you can clip for extra security a long zip to easily access the inside with plenty of other pockets I actually took this bag to hard summer a few weeks ago and I kept all my goods in here everything was safe but the one time I didn't put my phone back in the bag it gets stolen it's a damn shame Johnny so if you're bored of sling bags crossbody bags or even tote bags this is a nice switch up it's a little pricey though so let's talk about my pickups from a cold wall man I'm just now noticing that this is quite the expensive month but sometimes you got to treat yourself after all I did hit 100k thanks to y'all y'all are awesome I'm gonna save that video for another time what's funny is actually got these pieces on sale and it still ended up being almost 500 bucks but I got it for content because I want to make a video on the difference between cheaper items you know more fast fashion or higher-end fashion like this one from a cold wall I thought that would be a good video that's coming up in the future anyways I've been holding it up for a while already this is the calcite button up shirt on sale for half off lucky me so I've been eyeing this piece for a while now and I noticed that it was on sale and you know how karma and that's off script by the way you've got a concealed button closure so you don't see any of the buttons sleek look it's a little annoying trying to get a button dubbed but believe it or not this is a size small keep that in mind if you guys are trying to decide on getting this piece what I dig about this shirt is the printed graphic it's actually quite dark but it's behind the first layer of the white fabric so it gives it this faded look and it's not really too in your face which is really nice I just styled this simply with some cargo pants and some converses with that folk bag now let the shirt do the talking it's pretty dope piece now the second item that I got is actually the brush stroke shirt let me tell you this is actually my new favorite shirt now aside from heirism shirts there's nothing really special about the shirt other than the design but it is very stretchy and quite comfortable and the cut is a lot more boxy the brush stroke keeps this piece pretty neutral looking but also is a lot enough to be a statement piece kills two birds with one stone actually I think I think they've updated it now to feed two birds with one scone anyway this is like striped tees on steroids it's still a neutral piece but stands out quite well now the cut of the shirt is remarkable it's super boxy I got this in a size small as well and yeah this shirt is awesome there's a lot to like about this or that's just how I'm justifying the price of the shirt I love it let's keep it moving next up is the uniclo oversized heirism shirt you guys know how much I love this shirt I talk about all the time it's $15 best money spent on a shirt and I got this in the salmon colorway pretty neutral piece really dig this one highly recommend these oversized heirism shirts now the next items I got are from alpha industries big shout out to alpha industries actually did a photo shoot for them on their Instagram page you guys and check me out they sent over these jet cargo pants these are my new favorite cargo pants to skate in and I will talk about these pants more in an upcoming video just know that I really really like them and they have ripstop fabric so they aren't gonna rip perfect for skating and they sent over this navy bomber jacket this isn't the classic m a1 bomber which I already have three of those and I highly recommend this one has a color on it that's pretty much the difference few other changes but either way shout out to alpha industries y'all are awesome and last but not least is this travel steamer I already have the con-air steamer to get wrinkles out of my clothes but that's really a pain in the ass to travel with now this this is compact and steams almost as well as that con-air steamer if not better sometimes it just depends on the fabric and I highly recommend this this is only 30 bucks I'll leave a link in the description and those are my pickups fellas thank you for a fun journey to 100k I really appreciate you guys I'll
