On the field, he’s a mega football star that plays alongside safety Justin Simmons and pro bowl player and linebacker Bradley Chubb . Off the field, he’s a style extraordinaire who loves wearing eccentric suits and growing his massive sneaker collection.

Ever since he was a kid growing up in Macon, Georgia, Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson has always had a passion for fashion. Jackson said he would beg his parents to take him to the mall to purchase the latest Jordans. He and his friends would also put together outfits for school because he wanted to be known as the best dressed.

“Sneakers were always something that I was into,” Jackson said. “I think that kind of also came from me being an athlete because I kind of carried that over into playing sports as a kid.” He said he would often buy a new pair of cleats or shoes to match his uniform.  

Today, his impressive sneaker collection is comprised of green Swarovski diamond-encrusted Nike Air Force Ones, Louis Vuitton Jordans, white Dior sneakers, and red-hearted black converse — and that’s just from the photoshoot he had with 303 Magazine . 

So, it’s no surprise that Jackson also is extremely attentive with his suits.  

  “I have a team of guys that I work with out of New York that does a great job and we kind of put our heads together and collab on things for the season,” Jackson said. “Sometimes, I do go overboard on my suit purchases, but I can’t help it.” 

When creating his custom game day looks, Jackson starts with a color scheme and then depending on the time of year, decides on a fabric — heavier fabric for winter and lighter for summer. On occasion, Jackson also enjoys layering a trench coat on top. 

“For me, it’s all about how I’m feeling or where I’m going in that particular moment,” Jackson said. “On a day where we travel, I look forward to going into my closet and pulling out a nice suit.” 

Jackson said his style is very versatile and he prides himself in being able to style an outfit for any occasion. 

“There are some guys that don’t really care about putting on suits and I think that alone makes me unique in my style and my approach,” Jackson said. 

His fashion has certainly caught the attention of his teammates and coach. On game day, Jackson is often one of the last players to arrive and his outfits always receive a positive reaction.

“Usually some of the guys come in before the game and it’s started to kind of turn into ‘let’s wait and see what he’s coming with today,’” Jackson said. “I take pride in that because it goes into my performance.”  

His love for fashion has also led him to create two clothing lines. In 2014, Jackson launched a high-end lounge and streetwear collection called Fly Guy. He started the label when he had the opportunity to design caps for the Houston Texans, the team he was playing for at the time. Jackson created fitted and snapback versions. The name was inspired by wanting to feel and look good when getting dressed. 

“Everybody takes that last look in the mirror before they go somewhere,” Jackson said. “It’s a mentality and the way you carry yourself — just having that confidence.”

Though Fly Guy is currently on pause due to Jackson’s gruesome football schedule, he created ThriftStore Jack , another high-end loungewear brand specializing in hoodies. Originally, Jackson made hoodies for his teammates, and the fans loved it, so he launched his new brand. Come winter, he’s hoping to create matching sweatpants and expand more. 

“It’s so time-consuming to do clothing lines and I don’t have the time to dedicate to it in order to make it successful so it’s just something that I’m doing for fun right now,” Jackson said. 

Though his collections are on hiatus, his dedication to fashion is not. Through every sneaker and suit Jackson wears, it’s evident just how much he’s willing to push style boundaries.

Food truck vendors are widely known for delicious late-night snacks — ones that are 10 times more delicious than any fast food or drive-through grub. In late July, a food truck ban was instilled by the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses that applied to zones of Blake, Market and Larimer Street on Fridays and Saturdays. Although this ban has since been lifted, new rules and regulations are now in play for food vendors that cater to the LoDo area. The ban was established after Denver Police Department officers were involved in a shooting that wounded six bystanders exiting the bars on Larimer Street in the late hours of the night. The food truck prohibition was lifted last month but now vendors must follow new limitations due to the recent rise in violence.

'Tis the season to break out your fall sweaters, try that new pumpkin bread recipe and make sure your voter registration is up to date! Midterm elections are in full swing, and outreach groups are working to encourage high voter turnout, similar to 2020. In particular, young voters are expected to have a large influence over the outcomes of Colorado’s elections. Despite stereotypes that cast young voters as a flaky, unreliable voter base, turnout records in Colorado tell a different story. The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University lifts up this narrative with supporting data and research. CIRCLE collects data on youth voter registration and participation in elections, and uses their data to demonstrate where young voters hold influence.

Autumn is finally arriving in Colorado. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling and hiking in the great outdoors offers a picturesque view of it all. And while trails close to Denver can be congested, Colorado Springs is home to its own autumnal trails and parks — and you might have better luck finding an escape from the hustle and bustle of Colorado’s capital city. All levels are welcome to a change of scenery in the Springs, whether you’re an experienced or casual hiker.

“Imagine a group of people all going to a house party on different energy levels and wavelengths. People arrive and want to connect with each other, that’s why we go to these parties, but we put up a number of filters between us and other humans,” Mike Handby shared in an interview with 303. “We wanted to create a test space to see what happens if we all arrive in the same headspace. What if we all remember the night clear — the people, the connections, the moments. What happens then?” This idea is what led Mike and Amber Handby to found Sundown Colorado, an alcohol-free music festival encouraging healthier nightlife. Taking place in downtown Denver on Sept. 24, Sundown invites everyone to “party positive,” creating a new community within the Denver music scene.
