Smart investments lead to intelligent choices.

If you aren’t familiar with ‘Baller Picks’, there’s no better time than the present to get acquainted. Our staff gather their favourite items of the week. Whether it be a t-shirt, coffee machine or fitness wearable. There’s no limit to what picks make our staff’s recommendations. There’s only one rule; the items must represent the best among their other compatriots. It’s also important to note that none of the recommendations arrive from paid sponsorship; all these products have been independently chosen to give you the confidence that we aren’t just picking pieces based on bias. This week we feature the best of tech, sneakers, a pending winter wardrobe and a party-starter essential.

Let’s take a look at this week’s baller picks.

Pair them with dark jeans, light blue jeans and a denim jacket. You’ll be one step away from head-turning and eyebrow-raising every person on the street. The will set you back anywhere between $400-$700 depending on sizing and availability. While the price tag may be a little on the higher side, our staff guarantee you won’t regret adding these to your inventory.

Louis Vuitton – DAMIER SALT JACQUARD CREWNECK

There’s one fashion piece that will feature on just about any baller come winter. It’s Louis Vuitton’s Damier Salt Jacquard Crewneck. Already featured in the hit series Power, this piece will complete your ‘featured’ wardrobe. This piece revisits the season’s Damier Salt motif on a classic crewneck, in mid-weight cotton knit. The design features an all-over jacquard weave, with a contrasting Louis Vuitton signature adorning the front and back.

Details include a distorted pin on the front -echoing the bright pink of the signature – and knitted ribs on the cuffs and waist. This is the finishing piece to complete a weekend look. Perfect for winter nights, this sweater will do you no wrong.

WHITE GOLD AJ1 SHOE PENDANT

We know it may seem like an accessory you don’t need; however, it’s quite the opposite. An iconic shoe meets an iconic pendant, and there’s nothing like a complete outfit. Pair this pendant with a bomber jacket or the sweater above, and you’ll have people scanning you from top to bottom. It’s bold, it’s daring and may work for you in ways you never thought possible. Show some dare with the accessory.
