Indoor Soccer Shoes: Big in 2k10?

In the early part of 2k9, I will probably spend a lot of time 'searching 4 trends that r representative of the next big thing' in 'the world of fashion.' Sometimes trends go away, then come back. I think 2k9/2k10/2k11 will be all about recycling old name brands + personal branding items.

[via lookbook]
The indoor soccer shoe is a relevant choice for bros who want to look like a humble alt (think they are better than bright, bulky Nikes), and still have an attachment to their mildly athletic past. They usually have a set of parents with mainstream doctrines, and the choice of indoor soccer shoes doesn't alienate their parents' image of their son like a progressive shoe would.

Indoor soccer shoes are for bros with a lifestyle that sees them float in between multiple contexts: mainstream and alt. The indoor soccer shoe gives them versatility in function and image.
Never trust a bro over the age of 20 who still wears indoor soccer shoes. He is not sure who he wants to be. Or he has a membership at one of the world's only remaining indoor soccer facilities.

Gimmicks that might big in 2k10

Ying Yang choker necklaces

Necklaces that prove you recently 'went to the beach' on a family vacation and 'got to take a friend'

Old brands before 'alt' became 'a lil more self-aware' (remember when alternative clothing only came in black, white & red ? ///// this is why mallrat-based alts are usually in only these colours)

Looking like Brandon Boyd

I think we are headed back 2 more simplistic free-spiritedness. Kind of like the zeitgeist of a 12 year old bro who 'just discovered what marijuana tastez like' and is about to 'see his GPA slip @ high school', and will enjoy becoming a justified 'chilled out bro in the world' who transcends his parents' rules.


Still trying 2 find myself in 2k9.... I guess some things never change, yall.

I lovelovelove Brandon Boyd and INCUBUS.

I ROCK TO THEM in my car sometimes, even though my ex introduced me to them on a mix CD he made me that I snapped in half after we broke up. He LOVED good music like Papa Roach, P.O.D., and Incubus, so it is a shame I can't listen to those bands w/o thinking of him. #jerk He also owes me $1200 for the last 4 months of rent.

Incubus is BACK with a new music video, and they look AWESOME rock n roll with a hip hop edge

Rap rock is HERE to STAY. #raprock

Brandon Boyd is THE HOTTEST GUY IN ROCK...

He looks REAL GOOD, and strong and hot. He is IN THE STUDIO and BRINGING IT! I lovelovelove hipster bad boys. I had an ex who used to do a lot of yoga and didn't eat meat... but I think it got weird because I was 'the big girl' in the relationship and I ultimately wasn't active enough for him. It was emberressing.... #effmylife

I can't wait for their album to drop.

Brandon LOOKS GOOD, bb! Keep looking all studly...
Scott Stapp who? #teamIncubus

Brandon Boyd is totally my DREAM MAN. As u know, I have a thing for hipster creative guys like James Franco and Brandon Flowers from the Killers, and Brandon Boyd has ALWAYS been at the top of my list.

Incubus makes THE BEST rock music that is both ROCKIN, CHILL, and INSPIRING. It is definitely on both my WORK OUT and COOL DOWN playlist at the gym, which I need to HIT HARD after work before meeting the girls at Chili's for drinks and appetizers...

Incubus singer Brandon Boyd (above left) joined Bob Hurley on Thursday (March 24) to release a new set of Hurley tees and tanks with an original drawings from Boyd, depicting a whale taking bottles out of the ocean. The clothing items range in price from $28 to $32 and are available here.

The singer and brand are working with non-profit H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everywhere) on their creation.

Brandon LOOKS GOOD, even though he is showing some of his grey roots. We can't all be young forever. I think it is very BRAVE of him to show off his grey roots, even if they lose younger fans... I started greying a few years back, so I have to dye my hair AT LEAST once every 3 weeks. It is a TOTAL BITCH but at the same time, I get to experiment with a lot of cool colors and tints. #creativity

Brandon looks good!
I love Incubus... #Whatever2mrrwBrings,I'llBeThr
