Don't Mess with the Messenger



New artist designs by Sam Flores and Jeremy Fish fashion Upper Playground style to the Chrome line of urban messenger bags. Take it from me, someone who walks to work each day with a Mini.Metro secured comfortably against his upper back by Chrome's patented chest buckle system, a new twist on a safety standard that thereby avoids the typical lower back strain associated with the more widely used sling-style messenger bags, I recommend with great admiration any of Chrome's messenger bags to the young professional who relies on his or her feet to peddle or walk from point a to b. The line offers a variety of sizes to fit any load and varying color schemes to compliment even the most outlandish of wardrobes. And as an added bonus, all Chrome messenger bags instantly give their wearer a feeling of invincibility as most people will no doubt liken themselves to either Snake Eyes or John Rambo, or any fictional military superhuman for that matter whom fights evil with a fully loaded arsenal strapped to their back. Like them, at any given moment, I fully expect a ninja sword or an endless supply of exploding arrows to be within arm's reach should I encounter a white-clothed assassin or rogue Burmese General in my daily commute. Which, needless to say, is a delusional sense of safety I'm happy to pay $120 for.
