new shoes

The J. Crew x RW boots are kind of ugly. That logger sole (I think that's what those are called) is horrible.

I actually already have a pair of 1907s, which are basically the 875 with nicer leather I think.

Mostly I just like the look of the gray suede.

How do y'all size your tennis shoes? I have big feet (13E in the Red Wing sizing machine, 12.5EE in Alden boots), and sometimes think I'm buying most of my sneakers a size too small (ie I ought to size up from my boot size). So I ordered PF Flyers (Cousy All-Americans and Number 5s) in 13 and 14 - the 13s feel like most of my other shoes (~half a thumb width of toe room), while the 14s have a full thumb width, but feel kind of floppy when I walk, like there's too much material at the front folding over. I can't decide the if the half-thumb or full-thumb feels closer to right.

Ideally I could just get a 13.5, but that pretty much limits me to Sambas.

umm try them on first???

1907s >>>>>> j crew

because of the white sole, yeah.

i just don't get the grey suede. grey suede boots is so ... neil gaiman or something!

You might actually be right re: grey. I got a pair of Clark's Desert Boots in basically the same color and never wear them.

I wish I lived somewhere that jeans and boots were feasible year-round, I'd never wear sneakers:

good pick

did you buy those? the design is sick, i'd probably swap out for black laces though.

i'm still trying to decide on this colorway

http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/3/4/9/7/webimg/251991663_o.jpg

i did buy them & im wearing them now. i love that color blue tho so im leaving the laces

how comfy are they? they look like the comfiest shoes on the planet, basically.

how do the orange ones look to you? i am thinking i can pull it off w/ summer outfits of raw denim jeans + white shirts

orange ones look cool too, not a color i would normally wear but i bet you could pull it off

they are extremely comfortable. they do run a bit narrow. im wearing 11s & normally im more like a 10& a half but these are like a glove

i saw some that i forget the name of -- also nikes, i think air max's? but i dont remember, that were like three difft colors that were all very sunset-y looking ... wish i could find pix of them now

i rocked a pair of these for a while. might notta been silver though but white instead. once saw a cute girl wearing same shoes and we said sup to each other.

nooooo! i think 255 is exactly what i paid 2+ years ago haha

anyway charcoal zoom tokis c/d?

they're cool, they kinda look like vans chukkas imo

i kind of hate the mono lux shit on blazers w/ the exception of white or black + at least according to this thread u have like 100 pairs of this exact shoe already u should rock the lemon chiffon imo

not shoes but have u seen the new visvim jackets btw - v dope looking imo totally what i imagine that cali work wear design geek look is

so its impossible to find a really good img of these shoes:

http://sneakermaniac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/perks-and-mini-canvas-sneaker-blue-02.jpg

but these are a great summer shoe i think

i love perks & mini but those - and almost everything they make to be worn - are way too wild for me.

anyway link please to visvim jackets?!?

you mean this badness: http://hypebeast.com/page/2/?s=visvim

oops, i mean: http://hypebeast.com/2009/04/visvim-2009-springsummer-april-releases/

moonship - http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/04/03/visvim-springsummer-2009-jackets/visvim-ss09-jackets-7/

its a much lighter version of the winter alta jacket most of the colorways are not your thing i think - lol magenta check - but it looks amazing on i can vouch for that. the winter version comes in more sedate colors lots of navy and dark gray/black but its slightly bulkier and so the fit is less narrow and clean

the lapland is also ~*wonderful*~ but $$$$ http://www.hyrcollective.com/daily-blog/2008/11/visvim-lapland-jacket/ altho ive heard u can snap them about for about 1/2 retail on jap ebay

that jacket is tight but the straps & buckles & belt action wouldn't look right in california. still looks awesome. i tried on a winter lapland at HUF in SF but i didn't think it seemed that much better than my 3L patagonia jacket

buy this jacket: http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/PAT1259/Patagonia-Stretch-Element-Jacket-Mens.html?CMP_ID=SH_FRO002&CMP_SKU=PAT1259&mv_pc=r126

lol id totally wear that jacket biking around redwood city altho the belt is my least favorite part. the 3L jacket looks a little too tech-y in blue but i vibe the black how does the collar fit? does it fuck up the look of your neck?

a little bit. i almost always wear the collar open and it is a bit awkward but in all other respects the jacket is 100% tight (and costs 1/3rd of a visvim piece?!?)

are you in redwood city? that's crazy, i just moved down from stanford last june.

ugh it's not really pony hair is it? gross

yes, they stole only the cutest shetland ponies from children's amusement parks and slaughtered them for my feet

no, actually it's just cowhide
