Love seeing Duke go down.

I think everyone has things they will splurge on that others look on and ask WTF? For a lot of us here it's shoes.


I know I can't see the point in spending a ton of money on cars, even though I spend a good bit of my day in a car I can't fathom spending more than I absolutely need to on a car. I buy used, I buy 4 cylinders because the last thing I need in my life is a fast car. In my current car I splurged a bit on a head unit and replacement speakers, but I can't imagine spending what I did on my second car's stereo back in 99.

It's funny so say that, because I don't understand my wife or I having to spend 250+ on a purse....
But when it comes to sneaks....No Price Limit!
She gets mad all the time on how much I spend on Sneaks.....
But I get mad on how much she wants to spend on Purses, wallets, make-up, etc....
Everyone has their Hobby...and how much they are willing to spend, she tells me....
 
 
Cool dude on Ebay let me cop the SOMPs for $170 shipped... very happy cause was feeling them from the 1st pic!!

That cuff though...

People hate on the cuff, I don't get it but I respect the opinion. These jeans are a bit too long but fit perfectly so that's why I cuff.
I used to rock my cuffs like that a couple years back (2-3 inch cuffs) until I looked back at my old IG on-feet pictures from a couple years back and thought to myself "Why did I rock my cuffs so long?" So, I immediately went to the taylor to get most of my denim to the right length (Sidenote: I suggest not altering low end denim because it's like modifying a Ford Escort)... I still rock cuffs to this day, but just no longer than 3/4 of an inch to an inch cuff. I guess my taste of style changed as I got older...

The things I rocked in the 2000's... matching athletic jerseys/hats, all-over print t-shirts, stuffed Adidas/K-Swiss/Sauconys sneakers and baggy jeans which could of fit 2 more people in...

But hey, that's how fashion works... in the end, just do you. Whatever makes you happy.

In other news... just like everybody mentioned through out this week, my SOMP's came through...

To tell you the truth, I wish I got a deal like @SoleReaver  did for $170... because that's the most of what I would spent, hence, if I saw the quality in person...

Don't get me wrong, they're nice, but I don't think the material is as quality as a lot you said it was. Plus, they are ashy, like someone had mentioned previously. Not worth $200... that's what I paid for.

Quality wise:

YOTH > S.O.M.P.

Imo.

On to the next...

Let's not get too preachy now. Everyone has their own opinion. Anyone can cuff or not cuff to their liking. You may think it looks stupid, but there's a way to say that without coming off like a know-it-all. Ya heard?
it was a pretty lighthearted comment. wasn't telling anyone what to do so i don't see how i was preaching.

the benefit of being older is you can rip up the snap shots of you wearing the silly things you thought were cool. now at days it lives forever.

I have my own preferences, but I can appreciate the confidence. it's that x-factor: it can turn ugly into cool

Do what you like. Represent yourself.
 
Checks the avy. Yes.

I received my uprise dunks from Cncpts. Clean shoe. Decent quality. Someone mentioned the white laces being dirty. I believe its the suede bleeding on them. Went with black laces anyway. Pics to come.

Also received my Send Helps from a friend in the UK. Man they are quality the sock liner and suede are so so soft. I cant explain how soft. DS from 2005 production date looks like they were made yesterday. Like i said pics to come.

All I wear is the nike sb x levis team editon. Most expensive jeans i own.
 
OFF TOPIC: I just saw the Lebron McDonalds "SPECIAL CLUB" ad, I totally expected MJ and Bird to be waiting to start clowning Lebron. I guess they're saving that one for later.
 
Speaking of UCS anyone have extra lace locks? I got everything except those with my black ones. gRR
