Lately, I’ve been really feeling crocodile anything. After seeing a pair of black croc Vans Chukka, the croc patterned Applebum 59Fifty and even the Meat Guy’s crocodile claws for bbq’ing, I feel like its a texture missing in my life. The void ends here. I am or rather will find these Nike Terminator “un-HTM”. The [...]
Heres another pack coming from the Vans Vault collection for Winter 2009 (possibly Fall). The Vans Vault Wool lineup consists of a pair of Chukka, Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and Slip On’s. Although wool and white contrast stitching are the common denominators for this pack, each shoe has its own individual textures. Take for example the [...]
Here’s another take on the timeless Chukka silhouette. Opening Ceremony’s Classic Canvas Mids keeps detailing simple with an all canvas upper. The brown piping creates a very nice contrast to the otherwise plain upper. Although I’d like to classify these as holy grails, the sole makes me wonder about comfort. Find out at Opening Ceremony [...]
Ever since I acquired a pair of Nike Considered Mowabbs, Chukka style boots have entered my radar. And from there, I started appreciating more lifestyle footwear from brands like Vans to ALIFE. My recently obsession is with a brand named F-Troupe. Take a look at their Chukka boot. The silhouette is minimal with only canvas [...]
ALIFE has just dropped their Summer 2009 collection and Standard ATL is one of the few boutiques to receive the entire lot. I mean just look at the gallery lineup. From the most popular silhouette, the Everybody (in both mid and high) to the Public Outrage all receive a revamp in colorway and materials. Although, [...]
White and beige is a no brainer summer colorway combo. And May is the perfect month for the Vans Vault “Lvevl” pack to drop. I first fell in love with the half cabs back in late February when I snuck a peek at Oki-Ni. But without knowledge of the pack’s name and what shoes made [...]
Red plaid has become a staple pattern in streetwear and Surface 2 Air took notice. The latest silhouette to receive the plaid treatment is a pair of American classic lifestyle shoes aka the Chukka boot. The cut on these Chukka boots appear a bit higher than other Chukka boots. But until you’ve tried these on, [...]
Immaculate is not a powerful enough adjective to describe these Clarks Originals. Quite often there are sneakers here and there that speak to me. Stirring enough emotion for me to travel or drop more cheddar for overseas shipping costs. These Desert Boots, however, may be all time favorite shoe for 2009. I love the pairing [...]
Plaid is a textile that can be worn in pretty much any season. Specifically for Spring 2009, Vans is dropping a pair of Chukka and Era in a black, grey and white plaid pattern. I must say the Chukka and Era are the perfect silhouette for plaid treatment. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Half [...]
The pea coat is by far one of the best investments for surviving old man winter. The silhouette is timeless and of course it does a damn good job of keeping one warm. Everyone that keeps up with my entries knows I’ve fell head over heels for Vans not too long ago. [...]
