Hanging in Harlem
I'm back with another installment of You Go Boy. If you missed the first installment, you can check it out here. Next up is Brandon, a Harlem native and his partner in crime Jackson.
When it comes to his style, he doesn't believe in following trends. "Since I'm an easy going kind of dude, I don't follow trends or people. I try to look presentable for the occasion, but I think its more about my personality. I want you to be at ease, laugh with me and take me for who I am."
Brandon's look for our afternoon of shooting came from Levi's. For this look he paired their camo shirt with a pair of Levi's 513. His sneaker of choice was Jordan Space Jam 11. By the way, the 11's are one of my top 5 favorite sneakers of all time. Hmm, maybe one day I will do a roundup of my favs, but that is for another day. One thing you will not see him without is his Yankee fitted because as a New Yorker you have to represent. The Yankee fitted is a definite staple in NYC mens fashion. Meet a native, and he will have at least one in his collection. Brandon calls his a superhero helmet. It keeps him focused when he is working out (he is all about Soul Cycle).
In the midst of shooting, we chatted it up about any and everything. His goal for this year is to continue grinding, keeping up with the gym (he's lost over 80lbs!!!) and love his daughter like no man will ever will. I had to ask of course if he's about a good Netflix or Chill or Going Out. He says, with the right woman by his side, he's about both. I'm about chillin with the right woman, and going out to laugh with the fellas. Well ok sir...lol. Despite the common misconception that he is an asshole, he is quite funny in this blogger's opinion. I quite enjoy the Brandon/Jackson chronicles. If you don't follow him on Instagram, you need to. I quite enjoy watching all the antics with him and his family. If you ever see them out and about in Harlem, make sure to say hey.
Thank you Brandon & Jackson for being such good sports and indulging me!!!
