NEW KICKS :: latest purchase

Got a pair of Roshe awhile back. Loved them so much I went out and got a few more pairs recently.

Was waiting for these to come out in all black. But couldn’t pass them up at the employee store.

Expensive shoe. Was a gift.

Doc Martens brogue boots, New Balance x Hershal 710s & Grenson brogue boots.


Love those chevisw, got these yesterday they’re converse

I am really fond of The North Face’s Back To Berkley collection. These casual hikers are a really technical boot, but get lots of looks like a sneaker. They thing I like most is the fact that they’re really lightweight, but provide unreal support and protection. I have an insulated pair and wouldn’t hesitate to snatch up as many more as I can.

I did a review up on my website here if anyone is interested… http://milkywilky.com/post/47720081114/tnfboot

There was a massive sale on Wolverine 1000 miles a few days ago. So I picked up a couple of pairs.

Trying to decide between wingtips or not. Leaning towards plain toe and sticking with dress shoes for wings.

Plain toed ones look awesome, fantastic color and silhouette.

Both! Love the wingtips, but plain toe is super classy.


Broke these puppies out and hands down the best “summer” shoe I have owned…Ultra light, breathable, and not bad looking.

Got them cheap as chips in tokyo, for running around on the hills. So far surpassed my expectations. Grips well uphill and spares my forefoot downhill.

I had the same struggle with thesboots. I went with plain toe after my wife told me I don’t wear nice enough pants to pull off wingtips. :wink:

I miss those boots – unfortunately the leather sole wore out in two months. I know they are meant to be resoled, but I have never have any leather-bottomed shoe wear out nearly that fast. Back the manufacturer they went.

I also decided to go with the plain toe version.

Ive noticed that the outsole has gotten fairly chewed up by the concrete outside. Which I found a bit odd, especially for something called 1000 mile boots. Figured id just get a Topy on them in order to save the soles.

They don’t make them like they used to. For sure they don’t make them for 100o miles. If they did they would probably be too stiff and heavy for the average consumer and would definitely need to be broken in which isn’t very comfortable.

If you’re looking for tougher old school boots, maybe next time try a smaller and more traditional boot company like White’s boots which hopefully still uses thicker and higher quality leathers, they probably won’t be as comfortable out of the box, but they won’t breakdown as fast.

Alternatively get you wolverines resoled with a better and thicker sole.

Picked up a pair of these over the weekend. Its been raining like a bastard here in NJ/NYC and given they are suede have not been able to wear them. Can’t wait. They are super comfortable.

Just ordered a pair of these fresh, delicious kicks.
Should go nicely with just about anything in my wardrobe.

Nike Air Pegasus '83 Team Red/Atomic Red

May i ask you where did you order them from? I absolutely fell in love with these.

That is a really nice remix of the Pegasus 83 with the all welded upper and the stripe continuing onto the midsole.

I was lucky and still got a pair at Sneaker Politics. They appear to be sold out now though…

Just dig around the web a bit.
Hunting is half the fun!

Good luck.

Update:
Did some digging on my own, just because a few friends also inquired as to where I got them.

I found this version on Finish Line. It is indeed labeled as the same colorway, i.e. Red Atomic / Team Red, but it looks grossly different from other pictures. However, I am pretty sure it’s the same sneaker.
What do yo guys think? Same one?

Goes to show how important good product photography is in online business…

Looks like the same one to me. I’m guessing the lighter purple parts in the second pic have a ‘reflector-dust’ finish.

Nice mix of a retro silhouette with new construction techniques.
