The Sneaker Report: 5 Urban Sneakers For The Perfect Urban Man
Let’s Talk Sneakers For A Sec!?
Urban Sneakers To Fit Your Urban Life!
It’s hard to define the modern urban man without taking into consideration his urban sneakers! It’s not ”just a pair of shoes”, it’s more like your personal ID card!

Indeed, when I used to rap, I remember coming up with a line like : ”you can tell a lot about a man judging by his kicks” and 10 years later it still applies (and I still wish my mixtape went platinum).
The word “urban” gets thrown for whatever reasons these days but let’s set the record straight once and for all. Sometimes people mistake ”urban” for ”trendy” and it’s getting out of line.

In my opinion, an urban man is more than just a label because an urban man wouldn’t like to be labeled in the first place. I think it’s more a state of mind than anything else.
More like a general open-mindedness to dopeness and a desire to standout. On top of that , an urban man has to stand by those principles regardless who agrees.
If You’re All About That, I Would Like To Personally Welcome You To The Urban Man Club!
Today we will overview 5 urban sneakers for the perfect urban man (for those who aspire to join the club, we got you too!)

1. Trasher X Vans Slip-On
Release Date: 07.29.17
Price: 65$ USD
The days when collabs used to mean something seems dead and gone but there’s hope. The legendary Trasher Magazine got ripped off for its logo quite often in the past.
It seems like they’re trying to take control now and implement their iconic logo on some of favorite sneakers. Their Vans slip-on installment is a MUST cop!

2. Nike Air More Uptempo “Tri-Color”
Release Date: 08.12.17
Price: 160$ USD
As urban men we love challenges with the things we wear. Your typical all black or all white shoes won’t make the cut to us.
Uptempos are hard to rock efficiently at large but now with this “Tri-Color” pattern; its on another level!

3. Adidas ClimaCool 02/17
Release Date: 10.08.17
Price: 100$ USD
While most of the key players are stuck in 2017, it seems like Adidas is already in 2037 when it comes to their designs.
From the patterns to the futuristic look of the shoe, this is the multi-purpose sneaker we could only dream of. One of those rare pair of sneakers with which you can run a marathon and still kill your “downtown” look the next day

4. Air Jordan 6 “Flight Jacket”
Release Date: 08.17
Price: 225$ USD
Michael Jordan is a living legend because his impact went far beyond the basket-ball court. What I like about the Jordan releases is the fact that they’re trying to implement Michael’s legacy in the process too.
This time the “Flight Jacket” release was inspired by Michael’s first ever appearance at Saturday Night Live. During the show, Jordan wore a jacket with the exact color way and patterns.
Are they pushing it to the edge? Maybe but we have to admit that the details and the overall look turned out great!

5. Tyler The Creator’s Golf Le Fleur x One Star Collection
Release Date: 08.03.17
Price: 03.08.2017
Tyler The Creator is known for making headlines because of his music mostly but his sense of style is also undeniable!
Following the release his successful album called “Flower Boy“, the “Odd Future” emcee is set to release a collab with Converse. Revamping the iconic “One Star” model with a nice purple suede pattern as you can see.
The flower around the star and the back of the shoe make it a little risky for the average sneakerhead but any urban man would tackle this issue with their eyes closed (for real)

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.

If you’re interested in seeing him in action, he’s doing a Facebook live tonight at 7:30 pm and if you’re looking for some light in these dark times, that’s the place to be.
