love those
― xhuxk d (deej), Saturday, 17 January 2009 22:56 (fifteen years ago) link
those are pretty nice vahid and ya i do already own at least three pairs of dunks :/
― s1ocki, Saturday, 17 January 2009 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link
(including another pair of brown high-tops... except they're leather and dark brown... and i wish i had another fresh new pair just like them)
― s1ocki, Saturday, 17 January 2009 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link
but i do really like those suede ones
― s1ocki, Saturday, 17 January 2009 23:02 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah those visvim folk boots are a steal at only $468 ... i actually have two pairs of visvim FBT
one is brown elk leather, just like the one at lower left except without the painted-on triangles
http://hypebeast.com/image/2007/05/visvim-fbt-ancestor-nez-2.jpg
the other one is the black suede model shown from behind at the upper left here
http://hypebeast.com/image/2008/01/visvim-jokhang-fbt-christo-2.jpg
i have to say i'm not really crazy about either pair, they're nice to look at when they're on the floor but they might be the most uncomfortable shoes i own. the soles are really flat and the one-piece construction means that parts are always digging into your feet. the leather/suede are very soft so i guess they're nice to rub on your face but they also offer little or no support and when your foot pronates the seams dig into your feet. the suede laces *never* stay tied and by the end of the day the suede "skirt" is always coming untied. i'm scared to death of spilling anything on them or getting them dirty because they cost like three bills apiece.
finally i wear size 12 and for some reason it doesn't look so great in that size. i guess they look good on five foot tall japanese fashionista dudes but when i wear them i always feel like i'm wearing something out of my wife's closet - she has a ton of suede booties, like all fashionista girls - or like i'm wearing oversized baby shoes.

and when i want to wear brown leather boots i reach for those clarks i posted or for these

i've never regretted buying a pair of clarks originals since they're such great shoes, and i've never regretted a pair of vans since they've never cost me more than $60, but damn do i regret buying those visvims.

if you can't tell my taste in shoes (and clothes) runs towards super-clean neutral / monochrome styles
― moonship journey to baja, Saturday, 17 January 2009 23:45 (fifteen years ago) link
all of my shirts save a couple of flannels and a couple of army overshirts are white, blue or black and all of my sweaters, jackets and hoodies are navy or black, excepting a couple of gray sweatshirts and an ivory hoody.

Really want a pair of Wesco boots similar to these, but it comes out to $700 plus $100 for the custom fitting pattern.

― sad man in him room (milo z), Sunday, 18 January 2009 00:21 (fifteen years ago) link
eh you could get a new pair for $300 and break it in yourself
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 January 2009 00:30 (fifteen years ago) link
i love my aldens though, got them for my wedding. can't wait to get another pair.
trying to figure out how to get these
http://www.yuketen.com/Image%2008FW/Canada%20black%20smooth%20oxfordS.jpg
these are yuketen's interpretation of 1940 officer's shoes (what branch of service i have no idea) but i have no idea where to buy, can't even find a japanese retailer for these
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 January 2009 00:32 (fifteen years ago) link
i think they are sorta like these aldens or these allen-edmonds but i like the thick, exaggerated cut of the quarter and toe cap and the chunkiness of the sole.

the only visvims i own are these and they work okay:

i always want this to be true of my own taste but i end up desiring the most ugly-on-purpose, colorful, overdesigned stuff.
mj2b there are cole haans v. similar to that but i think they may be an older model (from when they still used the red/gold label) cant find a good pic through gis

digging these like crazy
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 January 2009 01:07 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i get where you're coming from lamp, i used to covet stuff like this but then i realized i want to be able to wear the same clothes 20 years from now, or at least look back on pics and not think "jeez i look like total kiddult trash"

there were these two grizzled old dudes who used to hang out around downtown palo alto together every day, they were in their 50s or 60s and they had big grey beards and wore the same clothes every day too. big navy nautical sweaters or varsity sweatshirts or hoodies, old paint splattered jeans, clarks boots or really plain one-color nike or vans sneakers, black patagonia rain jackets or army m-65s, rumpled oxford shirts. i'm pretty sure they were some type of self-employed artists. anyway they looked dope as fuck and since then i've been trying to dress like that as much as i can.
― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 January 2009 01:15 (fifteen years ago) link
they also wore toques and berets but i'm not quite there yet

corncob pipes
i go through phases of wardrobe purification on the regular so i have no illusions about wearing what i'm wearing now in twenty years fwiw i think timeless style is a much a self-con as anything
i had a job working as an ibanker when i was still a teenager so i'm used to segregating my style into grownup and brooklyn or w/e i think there's some value in sometimes looking ridiculous. or maybe that's just a sad rationalization from a dude wearing pink socks with a scorpion on them

so wait those visvims are $500 AND really uncomfortable? think i'll stick with the dunks thanks.
― s1ocki, Sunday, 18 January 2009 06:08 (fifteen years ago) link
but i do like those clarks.
actually what i really want is a nice pair of low-cut dunks.
