Doc Martins take a month in my experience.

[NOTKyle]

I'd wear those if they made me look that fucking sexy.

[Shannon!MD!!!]

I don't like True Religion. I prefer 7 for all Mankind and Rock and Republic

[NOTKyle]

My real favorite is wal-mart sweatpants cut into capris and bedazzled to holy hell.

[mongo]

7 jeans were cool when i was an undergrad like 3 years ago.

[BIG PIZZLE]

What's the new hot vegan shit?

[Angry Ass Messican Dude]

I stopped wearing real expensive jeans when I was 22. I can take 40 dollar jeans and go to the tailor, and have jeans that look just as ggod on me as the real expensive ones and save my money for real nice shirts.

I see this in a club and I think to myself, "what could I possibly offer a girl like this? Besides my penis. Nothing really, her parents make way more money than me so all I got going for me is a fat magnificent slug of a peen. I'm OK with those odds.

[Shannon!MD!!!]

seven for all mankind, my friend, not seven.

[mongo]

last few pairs of jeans i have got have been ruehl no.925 jeans. i like them.

The thing that keeps me going is the unshakable belief that I'm 10x better than any other dude in the room.

Not every girl agrees with me though, for whatever reason.

I want a link to the website selling the dress Miranda is wearing.

[ElemenoP]

I couldn't decide between getting the Tivoli GM or the Monogram Mini Lin Speedy...

So I got both.

And

[WET HOT MESS]

I like the Tivoli.

[Archangel]

Great, the forums are going to shit, and the chicks are discussing handbags.

[ElemenoP]

Yah. That's how I feel now that I have both bags. I don't think I'm going to use the Mini Lin as much as the Tivoli. Partially because it's fabric and it makes me more nervous to carry around. I'll just carry the Mini Lin when I'm dressing down. :)

[ElemenoP]

I've become obsessed with bags lately. I'm looking for a Burberry bag that's black with a cutout pattern and the pattern peeking through underneath.

Someone find it for me.

[WET HOT MESS]

I'm still lazy as shit so I don't deal with purses or clutches or whatever, but if I did, I'd do the Tivoli. It looks very versatile. And cute.

[ElemenoP]

You might like the Trevi PM. The GM is really big -- but this will probably be my next bag. Right now it's only available in the Damier Azur but the SA who helped me today said that it's rumored to be made in the Monogram. But I'll probably get it in the Damier since most of my bags are in Monogram.

[WET HOT MESS]

It's a happy face!

[ElemenoP]

It's a happy face!
hahahahah! That's what the bag will do to you.

[WigglingWii]

Great, the forums are going to shit, and the chicks are discussing handbags.


Oh but it's ok when you discuss about your obsession with shoes?

[Angry Ass Messican Dude]

If you need held, I'm available, but I do kinda smell like sweat, Dolce, and astroglide.

[Archangel]

Oh but it's ok when you discuss about your obsession with shoes?

Do you see me discussing my shoes, or do you see me panicking about the porn being gone, Rich being MIA, and the admins having been demoted?

Exactly.

I was actually thinking about getting a new wallet. A coach wallet is like half the price of LV.

[WET HOT MESS]

Coach is ugly.

[}{arlequin]

i've had coach wallets in the past. hard to make plain black look ugly

[WET HOT MESS]

Well the colorful spring color ones. They make me angry.

[Phil Theehor]

True. Mine did not stand up as well over time, though. Thought that it would last longer than it did.

[ElemenoP]

Coach is ugly.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I like this. It's a wallet. I'm not gonna wear it on my forehead.

ALso, for the price of an LV wallet, I can get a coach briefcase.

that wallet reminds of lv stuff for men from a few years ago.

One day. I want to own the entire LV Trunk collection. But I would never check it in at the airport. I'll probably just carry it to Starbucks.

OMG starbucks @ the airport!!!!

[}{arlequin]

One day. I want to own the entire LV Trunk collection. But I would never check it in at the airport. I'll probably just carry it to Starbucks.
when i am able to afford the entire trunk collection, i'll probably be able to afford a house on the med, w/ a closet or two, completely stocked. i'll never have to bother w/ luggage b/c everything will be at my destination. waiting for me.

[ElemenoP]

when i am able to afford the entire trunk collection, i'll probably be able to afford a house on the med, w/ a closet or two, completely stocked. i'll never have to bother w/ luggage b/c everything will be at my destination. waiting for me.
Would you buy the vintage trunk collection or the new collection?

I would just loooooove to have the entire trunk collection. Even if I have to sleep in it to afford it all. No. Not really. But your description sounds about right.

[}{arlequin]

i'm not dropping $50k on luggage. ever. even if i could afford it. you don't look classy at that point, you just look retarded. the steamship era is over.

Yeah, but you're a bloke, and thus beholden to common sense.

Both of us would drop $3 million (if we had'em) on a McLaren F1 GTR in a heartbeat, though...

I wouldn't carry my stuff in it. I'd just put it in my closet as pieces in the corner or whatevs. Kind of like Kimora or Mariah's closet.

But really I buy expensive glasses out of necessity. My eyes are very very photosensitive, and bright light brings on my super headaches in nothing flat.

Sorry I'll do better next time. Right now all I've got is my Custom Shop Smith and Wesson 1911 45 acp. My Colt NRA Centennial SAA 45LC, and my Bravo-51.

God, running shoes are ugly. Well, except the adidas a³ Night Runner.

Nz shox, ugh those are pretty ugly. I would def not have gone for a black/black/silver color.

I love the NX, out of all the shox they had at the store they were the nicest, well next to the monsters, but they were and extra $50. I went with black because I honestly do not like white shoes. I tried too, I bought a pair once and they got worn 2 times.

Those are nice as well. Most shox are ugly as shit, but I love these.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Last time, I paid $150.

Nobody wears hightops out here except 12 y/olds.

[Archangel]

Do people even make real high-tops anymore? All I see are mids... I mean, this is a high top shoe:

I like these, but my problem is i cannot buy shoes online. I am between a 9.5 and a 10 (I know small feet but I am only 5'10). I have to try shoes on and all shoes seem to fit me differently.

I also don't really like mesh shoes. I had them before and they were good to keep cool, but any time it rains my feet got soaked, plus I dont think they look as nice.

[Hoser]

Nobody wears hightops out here except 12 y/olds and Arch

Ok, maybe not real hightops, like the ones Arch posted, but even mids look stupid.

[Archangel]

I dunno, running shoes, they always have too much going on. To many lines and swirls and details, and they're usually in neon colours, too. To me, the perfect looking athletic shoe will always be this.

http://sportswrap.berecruited.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/jordan11.jpg

If I had the money to buy 50 pairs of those ('96 originals in good condition go for $700-$1,000 these days), I would.

See to me that would be like wearing hockey skates or track shoes on the street. They are made to be worn while playing a sport, and they are fine for that, but to wear them anywhere that is not a basketball court is just ridiculous.

I agree with a bright colours, I don't like that. For snowboarding I have a bright green jacket and I have some bright board shorts, but other then that no bright colours for me. My shoes are black or brown.

[Archangel]

Funny, I usually use conversation to get taken seriously, but I guess that's too... stuffy for SoCal.

Also, seriously. Most low-top running shoes look like this (barf):

http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/~hawkeng/fall01/graphics/shoes1.gif

And ONLY Turks wear low-top Shox (NT, NZ etc) around here. And whatever they do, proper people should do the exact opposite.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I'd rather wear these.

[Hoser]

Asics are amazing for running, but that is about it. I have a pair but they are at the end of their life cycle. I only use them to run, nothing else.

The people here that wear anything but low top shoes are not they kind of people you want to be seen with or be put into the same group as.

Here low top shoes normally = athletic people doing something to improve upon their sport where mid shoes normally = people hanging out thinking of a way to knock off a convince store.

I'd rather wear these.
http://images.sportsshoes.com/product/N/NIK2807/NIK2807_400_1.jpg

If you are running on a track, yes.

I wish people would leave single purpose shoes in the area they are meant for. ie. midcut on a court, track shoes on a track.

[Archangel]

See to me that would be like wearing hockey skates or track shoes on the street. They are made to be worn while playing a sport, and they are fine for that, but to wear them anywhere that is not a basketball court is just ridiculous.

Says who, convention? I mean, give me a good reason except "that's how it is"; people said the same thing about tennis shoes a few decades ago, and now you can't escape the damned things.

And half the world wears Chuck bloody Taylor's, which are, when you get down to it, mid-top basketball shoes.

I agree with a bright colours, I don't like that. For snowboarding I have a bright green jacket and I have some bright board shorts, but other then that no bright colours for me. My shoes are black or brown.

It's not just the colours - I like a little calm in my footwear. 99% of running shoes don't have one square inch which isn't bisected by some unnecessary design element, while most high-end basketball shoes are more about simplicity. Panels, if you will.

1st. Chuck Taylors = gay beyond gay

I am just giving you my personal opinion. I feel that if something is created with a purpose it should be used for that purpose.

Also I just think they look stupid. I would not be caught dead wearing them. If you like them, and they are what people wear where you live then that is fine. But here it is not something that most people would wear.

As you said, where you live low cuts are something that turks wear, and that is not a good thing, well here it is the opposite.

I also don't really lie they super busy shoes, that is why I go with black for the most part. I wouldn;t want 5 different colours on one shoe. I put up with it on the asics because they are such a good running shoe.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Yeah, and your personal taste is gay.

[Archangel]

I am just giving you my personal opinion. I feel that if something is created with a purpose it should be used for that purpose.

So when wearing running shoes, you just jog everywhere? When wearing Timberlands, you always go off road? You only wear ballcaps for playing baseball, and only wear boxer shorts when in the ring? You've never worn a polo shirt when not on horseback?

I salute your conviction.

Also I just think they look stupid. I would not be caught dead wearing them. If you like them, and they are what people wear where you live then that is fine. But here it is not something that most people would wear.

What the fuck? "What people wear where I live?" I maybe see one other bloke wearing Jordans per year. I wear them because I feel comfortable in them, not because people tell me to.

As you said, where you live low cuts are something that turks wear, and that is not a good thing, well here it is the opposite.

Niketalk.com used to have around 50,000 members. Nike brought out a coffee table book on their basketball sneaker history. The entire contingent of Jordan DMPs was sold out online in 17 seconds.

Somehow, I don't believe that it's all hoods and crackheads.

I also don't really lie they super busy shoes, that is why I go with black for the most part. I wouldn;t want 5 different colours on one shoe. I put up with it on the asics because they are such a good running shoe.

Yeah, and your personal taste is gay.


And yours is defined by "are the bitches gonna like this?" - Pavlovian, I believe the term is.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Actually, the term is not gay.

Those aren't, strictly speaking, mine.

I mean, I own the white/red ones and the black ones at the bottom, but still. And yeah, I never really cared for Shox (the first three Carters are all I have), but they are stupidly comfortable, especially the VC3s.

[CrazyCarl]

I have one pair of Shox running shoes and they're really comfortable. I don't wear them out, though

Ah, one of my all time faves, the Nike glass slipper (the plastic is see-through), also known as the Zoom Ultraflight. I rolled my ankle in these, but I still heart them.

Designer jeans sizes seem to be marked down, I tired on some true religions outta curiosity last year, and a size 30 fit fine.

But I know I'm not a size 30, more like 33.

Another pair which I never bought, but only because they were really uncomfortable and supposedly took a week of constant wearing to break in. Fuck that noise, I don't wear the same pair more often than once every two weeks or so.

Ironically, yes. "Not interested" is a bit much, but she only buys what she needs for work and such, and only at discount prices.

I have exactly three pairs of shoes: My new trainers, my old trainers and my work shoes.

Not counting motorcycle boots. They dont lend themselves to every day wearing, although they would be awesome for kicking someone to death. But I digress....

I find the SB dunks to be the most comfortable shoes nike makes, they are just so fucking expensive though, complete hype monsters. They drop for like $100, sell out in like 2 days, then are going for 200 - 300 the next week on ebay.

AF1 are hideous, and insanely uncomfortable.

Yeah, the Reebok store in Covent Garden had some limited edition pumps in the retro styling, but I left it considering the £120 price, when I went back they were out of stock. Although, Puma discs are back too...

I tend to use just one shop though, the Size store in Leeds; the guys there know their stuff and they get some very good exclusives.

My parents were quite austere with their spending on me, shoes are shoes they said.... said Mum in her outlandishly expensive clothes.
