2021 Year In Review
"Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and go to work." -Chuck Close
I ain't afraid of the work. Hate it or love it - from where I stand - the process is a beautiful thing. Loving the grind while gaining some grit has yielded traction, and my story continues. Here's a question for 2022: Where will the journey take you?

8000 Kicks Review - The 1st Waterproof Hemp Shoes
Can you smoke weed shoes? Let's find out. Join me as I review the world's first waterproof hemp shoe.
Who makes 8000 kicks?
Straight outta the lore of the cult classic, How High, Co-founder Bernardo recently moved back to Portugal. After a few brews and spliffs with the homies, the guys chanced upon a timeless idea: a shoe made for smoking.
Unlike most under the influence ideas, Bernardo followed through! He started by asking Otilia - his grandmother, with over 50 years of textiles experience - if it were possible.
The answer was a resounding yes and the rest, of course, is history. These amazing hemp shoes exist, and the world is better for it.
Let's talk about the Explorer V2
The Explorer V2 is minimalist yet versatile enough for the indoors or great outdoors. It is comfortable, looks great, and is eco-friendly. Here's an interesting fact: hemp is a temperature regulating material (which makes it perfect for footwear) and has anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. Clean, comfy, and made from the best things, the EV2 can't miss!
Care:
I don't suggest machine washing these bad boys as it might compromise the waterproofing and damage the shoe's ability to repel liquids and dust. Instead, hand wash them with warm water and soap. Take care of your shoes and they'll take care of you.
Tips:
They only are sold in whole sizes, so if you are unsure of your measurements, size up. The shoes observe the international sizing standards followed by Nike and Adidas.
Pros:
These kicks are light, fashionable, and environmentally safe. They will enhance your style instead of cramping it.
Cons:
These shoes aren't that versatile as far as dressing them up. They work well with your casual outfits but aren't all in on your black-tie ensemble.
Secondly, 8000 kicks tend to sell out fast and are exclusive to pop-ups or online.
