About a year ago, I had a show in the wonderful city of Salisbury, NC and I decided to rock a new, white Big Pony Polo along with a pair of white Big Pony shoes. I was feeling myself, fresh to death and ready to rock the crowd. Of course, a brother was kind of nervous, so I decided to go outside and get some fresh air. I stood next to the bouncer to chop it up. He was marking some hands with blue Sharpie pens.

Then, his pen runs out of ink.

*shake shake shake*

Blue freaking ink all over my new white Polo shirt and cloth kicks.

*dead* (and not in the good way)

Seeing as how the bouncer was, y’know, a bouncer and he went by the name C-Murder, all I could do was fume, weep a little bit and hop onstage with a blue-spotted shirt and shoes and some fungus looking spots on my face and neck.

Because of this traumatic evening, I have stayed away from the Polo kicks. They’re just too difficult to keep clean. But the bad boys pictured above, the York Polo Match Sneaker, are keepers.

While Mr. Gottsdale is a fan of classic Polo and enjoys the early 90’s colorful flavor, my Polo style revolves around the horse. I don’t need anything crazy, just the Triple Pony, Big Pony, anything. I’m all about it. Recently, the Triple Ponies have hit a pretty cheap $20-$30 tag, so I’ve been able to clean up.

But these shoes are the icing. Triple Pony kicks ftw!
