Conor McGregor the Best Dressed Athlete?

Image
Last week Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather met face to face for the first time in a much published press conference but somewhat overshadowing the event was the hilariously astounding custom suit by David August emblazoned with the works "F*ck You" through the stitching. The controversial suit combined two things the Irish boxer is known for trolling and bold sartorial choices. In a sea of boot cut denims and spice boy attire Conor McGregor has proved himself one of the best dressed athletes in sport. Always seen donning an array of designer favourites whether is a precisely tailored suit or on point sports luxe McGregor carries it off effortlessly. So ahead of his forthcoming match with Floyd Mayweather we have selected some of his boldest and best looks. Win or lose he's still the king of style in our eyes. Promoter.

Nike Big Hi - White/Wolf Grey

Image
In 2009 Nike resurrected the Big Nike High silhouette but with similar high-top shapes such as the Terminator and the Dunk still thriving the silhouette was left somewhat in the shade with fairly few editions of the model released.  Thankfully Nike have dropped this White/Wolf grey edition of the Big Nike High. Originally designed as an 80s basketball shoe the h yperfuse-uppered and Lunar-cushioned Big Nikes feature a full grain leather upper, padded collar, and a nylon-covered tongue. Prototypical details like the stitched detailing and iconic side swoosh and Blazer-ish heel block lettering logos have also been retained.  So if hip-tops are your thing you can shop Nike Trainers   in store and online now at Fat Buddha Store.

Return of the Trucker Cap

Image
Image via @asaprocky instagram The trucker cap was an iconic fashion staple of the early noughties sported by the quintessential, and now mostly forgotten, celebrities of the time such as Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and Ashton Kutcher. While the aforementioned celebs may have had questionable style credentials from an era that fashion enthusiasts will not look back on particularly fondly we are glad to see the Trucker Hat return with a more paired back and contemporary style. Largely thanks to a new set of trendsetters such as A$AP Rocky and Kylie Jenner endorsing the trend it's safe to say that the Trucker Cap is making a long overdue comeback this summer. Clearly identifiable from their netted back panels the style has moved on from the ubiquitous Von Dutch numbers sported back in the day with the newer versions coming in an array of different fits, colour and patterns. In the spirit of this we have rounded up some of our favourite Trucker Hats this season in a broad va...

Tonight at The Berkeley Suite Justin Carter & Eamon Harkin will be playing all night long at Mister Saturday Night. Justin Carter & Eamon Harkin are two people that have done things their way from the very beginning, always looking to do something more interesting, something different, rather than following what has and does go on around them consistently.
