Gucci K-Way Nylon Jacket

Image
From boxer Manny Pacquiao to rapper Fabolous, this jacket is one of the best Gucci releases of all time.  It is not for those who do not want to stand out instead the jacket ensures that you are spotted from far away!!  When the light hits it, the reflection is amazing. The classic piece runs nearly $1000.   It is equipped with a hide away hoodie.   The jacket recently released in kid’s sizes so your little one doesn’t have to feel left out when you put on your light show!   Bluefly has a dark brown version of the classic that is simply amazing.   The jacket is also offered in blue and the original tan colorway.   The Gucci website also has the jacket in black.   I personally like this version the best!!

The gold rings surround the tasseled ends of the shoelaces.  This attention to detail and unique design gives the shoes a collectible feel.  It was very difficult for many people to actually wear the high...

I. Although fake versions have flooded the market, we are still appealed to the REAL ONES!!   Be careful when you are buying pairs on Ebay.  Fake Pradas were at an all time high on the site a few years back.  Although Ebay has been able to limit the amount of fakes in recent times, numerous counterfeit pairs still appear from time to tome. II. The America's Cup are Prada’s best selling shoe of all time.   Prada is one of the few luxury brands today that has retained its independence and the company's men's footwear department definitely contributes to their success.  The America's Cup being Prada's best selling shoe ever is quite an accomplishment as the sneaker has been able to stand the test of time! III.
