Why you can trust Amir<\/p>\n
Amir\u2019s expertise in style is rooted in his personal love for collecting fashion, from vintage finds on eBay to new, innovative designs that spark his interest. Some of his favorite brands include Ralph Lauren, Timberland, The North Face, Nike, and Air Jordan. His enthusiasm focuses less on the materialistic side of consuming fashion, as he prefers delving into the stories behind them, be it their cultural significance, sports history, or impact on the outdoor\/adventure space.<\/p>\n
Amir\u2019s a passionate sneaker collector (and can tell you how to clean and restore them so you\u2019re always looking your best), and he has you covered head-to-toe for everything you need to know in men\u2019s style and grooming.
