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

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

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

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.

I really want some retro green Nike waffle trainers. It seems like I will be looking for awhile.
― Yerac, Monday, 10 September 2018 23:34 (six years ago) link
why?
― the late great, Monday, 10 September 2018 23:35 (six years ago) link
I need them in a size 6.5 mens or 8 women about.
― Yerac, Monday, 10 September 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link
Meaning, I haven't seen very many online and definitely not in that size.
― Yerac, Monday, 10 September 2018 23:55 (six years ago) link
ah, yeah that’ll do it
you mean the action green ones, right?

I would totally take those, but I love the older green and gold and blue and gold ones.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 02:27 (six years ago) link
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.)
― Yerac, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 02:29 (six years ago) link
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

finally got a line on a pair i've been hunting for eleven years ... and yet, as much as i like the silhouette, still skeptical of nike's "baroque brown" leather ... sorry, it just reminds me of 💩
