This week, I grabbed my camera, a fresh Caution Yellow Vinyl Strap, and some kicks and walked to the street corner by apartment in North Hollywood.
I pushed the crosswalk button and waited for the light to change.
Across the street is a building covered in shiny black and yellow tiles. Welcome to the iconic Work Boot Warehouse. This retail store has invested in countless giant bright yellow billboards all over Los Angeles featuring sexy women in work boots. Pure genius. If I ever have a need to purchase construction work boots, I will without a doubt buy them here.
This brand new Caution Yellow Vinyl Strap pops harder than an Otter Pop. If you don’t know what that is, well, I’m sorry for you. The bold yellow instantly makes me think of caution tape at a crime scene as well as a high voltage warning sign. These Nike Free 3.0 with their thin, crazy black and white lines for some reason fit this general vibe for me.
Life begins at the end of the double yellow line. Venture onwards into the unknown.
