Every once in a while, MR PORTER does a photoshoot that is almost too good for words (allow us a little hubris here). That’s what we think we’ve done with this collection of images, which started out as a way to showcase some cool clothing worn by some cool guys (Messrs Louie Mire, Casper George and Tiago Silva), but ended up as a photo diary that has inspired us to take up BMX.

It’s not that fantastical a notion. These guys have normal day jobs, too. They’ve simply picked up a hobby that goes perfectly with Stray Rats sweatpants, Stüssy shorts, AMIRI sneakers and Flagstuff shirts. And it turns out BMX also pairs well with Wacko Maria camp-collar shirts, The Elder Statesman cashmere, Enfants Riches Déprimés hoodies and CELINE HOMME everything.

Even if you can’t imagine purchasing a tiny bicycle and learning how to do bunny hops or crank flips or to crossfoot, you can absolutely toss a POLITE WORLDWIDE® tie-dye T-shirt over some GENERAL ADMISSION shorts and meet a buddy for lunch. While you’re at it, pick up some Carhartt WIP socks and a PARADISE beanie for good measure. If all of this seems like too much, dip a toe in the water with some classic Converse Chuck Taylors. Who knows? Maybe six months from now you’ll be doing a full cab in the skate park down the street. Everyone has to start somewhere.
