I am proud to present my Nike Destroyer jacket built at the Nike Sportswear Stadium MFG shop in NYC. All patches and embroidery tie back to something personal. Homages include my wife, children and my brother who passed away in 2005. The chest features a “BAU” embroidery hit which stands for “Business as Usual”, while the back features the ‘Love Wolf’ graphic that is also a tattoo on my forearm.

A big thanks to Nike / Stadium MTG for the opportunity and a SPECIAL nod to Mike Cherman who helped me put this amazing varsity together.

Business As Usual is the crew and mantra. The Love Wolf is the mascot.

“IX” heart represents my wife. The stars are my children.

#BAU

Memorial for my little brother who left us in 2005. Love you Franco.

Stay warm.

This one is a real honor for me. DJ 7L has been holding down Boston for years – first as a member of the hip-hop group 7L & Esoteric and then as a member of the incomparable dj collective the Blade Runners. 7L is famous for his flawless mixes and loves hip-hop even more than myself – which is probably borderline obsessive.

The Butcher’s Blade mix is just that, a mix of some of our favorite songs—some current and some so good they still feel current.

Volume 2 coming soon.
