Eddie Huang: Writer, blogger, restauranteur, personality, comedian, ex-lawyer, based FOB, kung fu panda and one of the few tastemakers that makes real, actual taste because he is a fucking chef. With the first season of his hit Vice show Fresh Off The Boat officially wrapped, we noticed something that Eddie has not yet been heralded for. You see, what most people seem to overlook about Eddie is that dude is an absolute STYLE ICON. Like, his closet absolutely goes hard—oversized football jerseys with the really ugly shorts, the big homie wears what he likes and it's never not working. That's the kinda shit we respect over here at Four Pins. This guy is the poster child for everyone who is unabashed in dressing to represent who they truly ARE. Lemme show you ungrateful motherfuckers what I’m talking about.

This one is for all of you saying, “Eddie can’t keep up with the times.” Look at that fire flames printed button down. Shit looks like it’s straight off the Burberry Prorsum S/S 12 runway. He even has the Concord 11’s on his feet so you know the sneaker game is coming proper as well. AND HE’S SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF FUCKING $25,000 PERSIAN RUGS. OF COURSE I’M PUTTING THIS SHOT IN. We are living quite luxe over at Four Pins. We got that Stacy Adams takeover money, breh.

Write this down: Eddie inspired #menswear with his white jeans and Timbs 6 months ago. Somebody go ahead and quote me on that and put it in a newspaper so you know it’s real. My guy even has the tank top going to show off all those lat pulldowns he was busting out at Equinox. Quote me on this as well: Every Mexican chick within a 5-mile radius of East LA was as moist as a Chairman Bao when Eddie was in town showing off the goods.

You may think you have the traveling outfit game on lock, but you can’t even smell my mans and dem at the terminal. Look at this straight up cozy boy proper Adidas tracksuit with the pants so long they’re dragging AT LEAST a full foot behind him. He even keeps the theme going with the Jeremy Scott oversized tongue joints. Wildly versatile closet, B. Is there a situation for which this guy can’t dress?

In this shot Eddie is wild cozy, channeling Ricky O with the black sweatpants. Gotta love the Allen Iverson screen print and Only NY hat up top. This should be EVERYONE’S go to look when they find themselves in a 24 hour shrimp city where you catch wild (?) skrimps in dirty ass tanks. I know it’s mine.
Sidenote: The 10th wonder of the world should definitely be AI getting into Georgetown. That motherfucker is as dumb as fuck. Dude should’ve majored in finance and taken How Not to Gamble Away All of Your Money and Have to Play in Turkey: 101.

WHO YOU KNOW THAT’S POPPING OUT OF THE VOLKSWAGEN BUS WITH THE OAKLAND RAIDERS JERSEY, ABOVE THE KNEE SHORTS, AND A PAIR OF HAVAIANAS? Nobody, B. Eddie has reached the point of his career where he’s just rocking everything with ease because he’s so confident he’s pulling it off. I mean, I don’t know about you, but there’s no way I’m walking around with thong sandals in Queens and making it out alive. Aspirational shit right here.

Honestly, Eddie might be the dopest rabbit hunter in the game right now bruh, fuck a cartoon character. NOBODY is coming through the valleys of California hunting for rabbits in a Warriors of Radness matching get up. Look at those Raptor 7’s he’s got going on with that shit too. Those kicks are so small he looks like he copped them straight out of the boy’s section at a Foot Locker. Can you believe that? We’re all fucking around and buying full priced J’s while this dude swoops in and grabs the size 6’s half off. Revolutionary genius.

The fuck is this? Is that a denim sweat suit? With a pair of Timbos? What can’t this guy do? This motherfucker is looking like a very relaxed coal miner right now. Most of you may not know this, but this look was highly on point for S/S 93. This fit should bless Eddie for the resurrection.

Talk about avant-garde. This dude is straight up taking inspiration from every Filipino nurse in the neighborhood and is basically rocking a pair of scrub bottoms. I ain’t mad at it. Like, how comfortable do you think homie’s nutsack is right now? If rocking a pair of breezy scrubs on a hot summer day hasn’t crossed your mind at least once then I don’t even want to know you.

Most of you may not know this but Mr. Huang actually dabbled in designing clothes for a little. He’s wearing his infamous USA Obama tee in this photo, actually. It isn’t “high fashion” enough for you snobs? Well, my man has the motherfucking visvim kicks to roundhouse you right in your grillmix. He’s fully mastered the art of the high/low on some Mr. Miyagi shit.
