buy chuck taylors in american flag print
― the late great, Friday, 23 March 2018 01:52 (six years ago) link
ok ok
I would get those if they were on sale in my size. the thing about most of my chuck craziness is I wait it out and if they are too cool to still be available in US M 9.5 / 10 by the time they get a price cut, then I was never cool enough to rock them anyway (pour one out for those nasa apollo limited edition chuck 70s)

lol
tlg from the little i know about your style i feel like you could make those work. i don't think they're as far from something like stans as one might initially think. tho there are a lot of gis results of people wearing them with selvedge which is a bridge too far for me.

iirc the man owns a healthy beard, many yellow t-shirts, and a generally good attitude when he’s not dragging me for being a square

thank you tom for the kind words about my beard attitude and yellow tees (which sadly have pretty much fallen out of the rotation hadnt thought about them in a while rip) feel like i shd clarify tho that i wasnt dragging you for being a square i was doing it because you were antagonizing those of us who love style (shopping), which i know this is ilx and what do i expect but like when i started this thread i imagined it as a beautiful gallery of fire kix that wasnt full of people being all omg those r ugly or sneakers look weird on my feet cant wear em or whatre some good mid priced sneakers i can wear to the office, lol

I'm still stuck on campus, gazelles, superstar II tbh and I only buy men's because the women's versions are usually white or that horrible salmon/coral pink.
To Tom's point, I did flinch when the thread first opened and landed on those moccasins(?).
