DC Pool LE  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Kicks    Posted date:  August 10, 2012  |  No comment



[$55] The DC Pool LE offers a lit bit of style that’s good in any weather conditions. The super ventilated exterior means your feetsies will stay cool in blistering heat, and the material composition itself is all quick-drying, water-resistant material so you’ll be dry in the rain. (more…)

iCufflinks  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Apple    Posted date:  August 7, 2012  |  No comment



[$128] No they don’t actually pair up to your iGadget, but iCufflinks are still the bees knees for stylish tech dweebs. (more…)

Eau de Lacoste Olympic Edition  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  hygiene    Posted date:  August 2, 2012  |  No comment



[$70] We’re not sure if Lacoste is really in the Olympic spirit, or if they just know how to exploit the public, but either way we’re fans of their Eau de Lacoste Beauty of the Game Edition. It smells just like the original lady charmer, but it sports an international themed package. Slap a higher price tag on it and you’ve got yourself gold. (more…)

Arnette Dibs  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Shades    Posted date:  July 31, 2012  |  No comment



[$90] Picking up a pair of Arnette Dibs is almost like picking up two pairs of shades. They’re like a stylized Wayfarer, with an extra set of colorful arms for when you’re feeling fresh. (more…)

Barbour Steve McQueen Collection  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  steve mcqueen    Posted date:  July 30, 2012  |  No comment



[Various] Chances are you’ll never be the next undisputed king of cool, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress like him, or at least his characters. The Barbour Steve McQueen Collection recaptures some of Steve’s most famous looks, some from his films, some from his day to day life. (more…)

Best Made Soap  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Soap    Posted date:  July 26, 2012  |  No comment



[$30] Good soap comes with a price tag, and Best Made Soap is very good soap. For 30 bones you’ll get three bars of cedar wood scented, eucalyptus infused goodness to start your mornings. (more…)

Minimalist Gaming Shirts  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Game Time    Posted date:  July 19, 2012  |  No comment



[$24] If you wear a shirt that says “Zelda Forever” or “Link Is My Homeboy”, society is going to, well, collectively duct tape you to a flagpole. However if you wear one of these Minimalist Gaming Shirts, you’ll probably find yourself showered in compliments. (more…)

Team USA Jersey  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Sports    Posted date:  July 18, 2012  |  No comment



[$120] Sure that last exhibition game against Brazil looked pretty rough for a while, but Team USA pulled it out and we’ve got a feeling they’re going to have another great run. Show your support before the 2012 games are officially underway. (more…)

Marine Layer  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Threads    Posted date:  July 18, 2012  |  No comment



[$30+] We have a theory that most cool things come out of California. Marine Layer clothing is no exception. Not only are their threads spot on in the style department, but they’re super soft as well. How do they achieve that? With sustainable wood pulp believe it or not. (more…)

New Balance 420 Sneakers  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Kicks    Posted date:  July 2, 2012  |  No comment



[$75] New Balance is kind of like Porsche in that all their products look exactly the same but we still kind of love all them even though we can’t tell the difference. This particular New Balance 420 is of course no different. (more…)

Pirelli Wristbands  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Cars    Posted date:  June 25, 2012  |  No comment



[$16] If you fancy yourself a racing fan, then you’re familiar with Pirelli and their, uh, unpredictable reputation. Show your indifference with these rather clever Pirelli Wristbands. (more…)

Sires Crown Moorea  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  June 7, 2012  |  No comment



[$300] Ain’t nothing wrong with some sustainable wood sunglasses. Sires Crown agrees, and so does their stylish Moorea offering. (more…)

Mark McNairy Grey Suede Derby  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Kicks    Posted date:  June 5, 2012  |  No comment



[$320] I’m not sure if I want to wear these Mark McNairy Grey Suede Derbies, or mount them on a pedestal carved from marble. Seriously, if you need to be keeping it classy, you need a pair of these bad boys. (more…)

Iron Man Cufflinks  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Cufflinks    Posted date:  May 30, 2012  |  No comment



[$20] Surprisingly enough, these Iron Man Cufflinks were not stolen from Robert Downey Jr’s personal wardrobe- they are available now to the general public, and you can buy them without fear of legal recourse. (more…)

Blue Cow Soap  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  hygiene    Posted date:  May 23, 2012  |  No comment



[$6] Alright so when you think cleanliness cows aren’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind, but Blue Cow Soap might change that. Blue Cow has been in production since 1909 so they must be doing something right. (more…)
