str8 fire beautiful kix

also ... i have a line on some affordable 999s but not sure i'm going to do it

i've never gone for 999s in the past, i'm not sure i appreciate their pointy-ness

sometimes nice - http://i.imgur.com/SqcOxyr.jpg

sometimes too pointy - http://i.imgur.com/MiT5iri.jpg

too pointy is really the least of the problems in that pic

the way the cuff is tucked behind the tongue makes me feel ill

also that fade is disgusting (hopefully just an image artifact) and the cuff is sloppy

someone broke in my car (from the carport directly under my place) and stole my prescription sunglasses and a pair of str8 fire beautiful kix

goodbye fragment design nike zoom tennis classic!

whoops, not zoom tennis classic, actually they were tennis classic sp

i got mine on ebay for $49 iirc and they still pop up from time to time ... good shoe but needs to be relaced, the flat waxed synthetic laces they come with don’t stay tied

Friend was bragging about scoring some crap from action Bronson in a food truck somewhere...you guys hip to that shit?

haha no wtf

like a popup shop?

there’s a pastel vw van that cruises up and down the beach cities doing popups, selling custom vans and coachella jewelry and hipster polaroid art and stuff

is this the brooklyn sneaker version of that?

what do ppl think of the nike react 87s and their counterpart the react 55s

too future for me

feeling very sad about my stolen shoes, picked up the 999s, fingers crossed they're not too pointy because they reflect my mood rn pretty well

Nice

87s/55s are sweet.

yow!

vah1d i cant remember if theres another thread for this but what do you think of the post-workwear, post-normcore japanese heritage stuff (manual alphabet, minotaur, kapital &c) as a general aesthetic for male dress? it feels infinitely more interesting to me than the like alexander wang x chechen street youth athletic wear or hypebeast anime character stuff thats the only other contemp aesthetic

y/n?

fwiw I love them but it rains a lot in Glasgow and they might look like shit pretty quickly.

yeah i have a pair of suede NB in a similar shade as the back of those shoes and they got dingy really fast

i like the shoes a lot tho

i like the karhus

post-workwear, post-normcore japanese heritage stuff (manual alphabet, minotaur, kapital &c)

not 100% sure because i'm not super familiar with those brands ... my sense is that it's a bit like rugged casual but also somewhat more "old-timey" than rugged casual? and maybe a little, uh, softer than the full-on heritage look? do i have that right?

my own wardrobe runs toward the preppy side of the workwear look (engineered garments, arpenteur, orslow, real mccoy's, battenwear, gitman, polo, levis, various heritage brands like dehen and brooks brothers) with a smidgen of streetwear mixed in (stussy, supreme, carhartt, nsw)

so i think the answer is yes, i do like that stuff, but personally i err on the more understated side of that look

Didn't know about those but looking at http://manual-alphabet.com/lookbook_2018-aw/ or https://www.bluebuttonshop.com/shop/BRAND/M/Manual-Alphabet/0 it kind of fits between Engineered Garments (which tlg mentioned) and Folk? Folk definitely a brand I like (EG too expensive/hard to find for me) so yeah I'd wear that. I'm also trying to branch out into more interesting silhouettes but need to be a bit braver.

Not Japanese but another post-workwear kind of thing I have liked: https://studiosorensen.com/collections/all

xp EG has gotten ridiculously expensive

weebok

the japanese shit seems super expensive too tho i def dig that style

i see the nike react undercover shit is already going for bonkers prices on stockx

i think i like them ... it just feels different from everything

Like if im gonna spend 500 on sneakers (i'm certainly not) i'm gonna get the off-white prestos

i wish supreme wasnt super corny and over bc i actually like how these look and they're reasonably priced

I like those Supremes too. But yeah, Supreme is corny as fuk.

If you like some shoes are you can afford them you should maybe get them and then wear them

Fuck you, autocorrect

you can't get them

i don't know how this sneakerhead stuff works

remove yr head and replace it w a sneaker

2. stand in lines

Lol yeah who wears clothes based on social context other than literally everyone

i wish supreme wasnt super corny and over

me too ... anybody wanna buy some hoodies?

I really want some retro green Nike waffle trainers. It seems like I will be looking for awhile.

why?

I need them in a size 6.5 mens or 8 women about.

Meaning, I haven't seen very many online and definitely not in that size.

ah, yeah that’ll do it

you mean the action green ones, right?

http://www.nike.com/launch/t/waffle-racer-17-premium-action-green/

Love waffles

I would totally take those, but I love the older green and gold and blue and gold ones.

I was looking at making a custom Nike cortez but all the color combinations are not my thing (or else I just they just look like crap online.)

itd be cool to wear supremes on some ~i like these shoes~ just as the the brand is at its most over exposed, high level styling

i wore the shit out of a pair of supreme half cabs: https://static.highsnobiety.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/supreme-vans-old-skool-half-cab-fall-winter-2010-7.jpg
