There’s nothing like your first crush. And if you’re anything like us, you crush hard and often. This is where we pay homage to all things worthy of lusting after.

Sara fancies adidas Orignals LD 80s windbreaker for men. Guess why. Perhaps because it channels 1983 and the video that helped launch MTV and the world of pop/rock/hip-hop/R&B music and culture as we know it; one of the best-selling singles of all time, and the song that defines my memory of Michael Jackson in his brilliant, innovative glory—Beat It.

Sure, you can snag a vintage replica of the red leather you remember, complete with metallic mesh panels, on eBay for $2,000. But adidas was an iconic brand back when the father of the moonwalk, the god of a new generation of Top 40 artists, was born. If there’s a jacket that has the magic to inspire moves like MJ, this has to be it. You know it’s bad.

The world has lost one of its greatest loves, but his music and his style will never be defeated. Rest in Peace Michael.
