quick question that prolly wont get answered because its not a shoe pic. Most of you seem to love the id program. For those that do, why? Is it simply because you can custom your own shoes? or is there more to it than that. And excuse my ignorance but are the numbers that are allowed to be made limited or is it just until they switch styles? Anyone that doesnt?

I agree with Cris about being able to control and create your own colorways and yes it's simply because we can customize our own. This might be a far fetched comparison but if I was to get inked up, I for sure wouldn't just pick a standard piece off the wall, wouldn't you want something created just for you?
i agree with the ink comparison as someone who is blasted with ink. It should all be personal. Whether it is off the wall or a custom piece. But ithink shoes can be personal to you off the wall. Look at the most sought after colorways. All GR simple colorways "straight off the walls, i mean straightoff the sale racks!!!. But i hear ya sir and thanks for the reply.

I can speak for myself, and maybe some others Bubba, but its the fact that you are able to create your very own design, and the air max 1's that nike is putting out right now, are garbage. This gives me(us) the ability to design something to our liking rather than having to purchase some trash from nike. Atleast thats what I like about them....and some of the opitions given allow you to recreate some classics. Also gives you the ability to create something that "noone else will have"

^^pretty much...except the "no one else" part

couple of designs out there are just too dope not to do.

i think the "no one else" part is just a heart felt broad generalization that is basically true. Its not fake and jaded like all theJordan PE collectors who think they are getting something no one else has and truly beleive it, only to find out that there are multiple production dates andmany many people with them. I think the id program is both good and bad. But my opinion is just as valid as all of yours. So im just seeing how people feelabout it. Appreciate all the replies and responces

----dont see that ever happening. Bad blood still from the carhartt sb that wasnt carhartt approved.

 

[s dubl]

on the new options...I have no info, but I would assume they'd go up around the same time as the IDs went up the first week or so...around 4pm PST?

something. I will be bored outta my mind.

Hopefully the snow will fizzle out and not do much, guess we'll see. Work's looking really busy next few days, if I'm able to hangI'll for sure let you know

. I'm trying to think of somemore stuff you might could do while you're in town, I'll PM/text you later.

......this would be soooooo sick!! i absolutely love both my carhartt dunk lows! if they did an AM1 or AM90.....i'd need 3 pairs easily lol
....i had to PS this idea, it was stuck in my head.

I wondered if you or somebody would throw a PS up. Nice

. I didn't know about the dunks or realize there were anycarhartt-inspired shoes. I said it as a joke but as soon as I typed it, I was like "what would that look like?"

. If I had the time at work, I would've been trying to whip something up. Maybe using just black and the brown, or throwing in some of the other colors they use. Regardless, the canvas-like "duck" material would worknicely. Mix in a Carhartt logo on the tongue, a couple of brass rivets somewhere............

True about something off the wall being personal. Every decision made by an individual should be personal...
Thanks fort bringing up a good topic to discuss

 

[jwdanklefs]

Is Carhartt really that big everywhere?

I thought all my cow patty kickin', Stetson wearing, Marlboro man looking, ball strangling Wrangler jeans wearing homies here in Texas were the only guysthat wore that stuff... ???

Infact, if you go somewhere asking for Carhartt here in Texas, they'll say, "Sure, go up isle 9, take a left at the shotguns and hang a right at thedeer corn, the Carhartt section is right next to the Spurs foam fingers."

 

[stuntman mike]

the first "ID" shoes that i heard of is back when you could bring swatches of your own material to the vans store and they would send it out to thefactory and make your shoe for you. this was back in the 70's.

 

[jibbycanoe]

Jake - geologists love Carhartts for the type of work we do. I'm guessing that's why larrivee7 brought it up. I have far more pairs of Carhartts then the types of denims people in here wear. they are cheap (relatively), last a long time, and they don't make skinnyjeans
but and AM/Carhartt colab is an interesting concept. I see something similar to the Pattas but with Carhartt colored denims..

Very true... I heared you could bring whatever material you wanted into the store and they would send it off to made into a classic slip on Ibelieve... Nice remembering that man, I had totally forgotten about that...

ahhh ok, it looked white. i think i'm just gonna have to risk it with this bone color and hope it comes out alright.

Seth - brass loops around the lace holes would be dope, sort of like how the black pattas have the black ones....verydope idea

....out here in NYC, Carhartt has been worn for a longtime. anything from the jeans, work pants, jackets, hoodies, overalls, etc....i still have 2 jackets from them. Dickies work pants/shirts had a good run toobut nothing beats the Carhartt's IMO. the durability and cold weather protection on some of the stuff is unparalleled.


here's two black versions of the Carhartt AM1.....damn these templates, i'm here trying to not fall off the deep end again and make up a hundreddifferent colorways.

 

[larrivee7]

Jake -

I'm from KY and grew up farming, so my awareness ofCarhartt isn't all that surprising nor does it add much diversity to Carhartt's influence (your list of attributes of Carhartt wearers didn'treally sound all that foreign to me

). But, if you work outside in thecold, you have to have the stuff no matter where you live. Their coats and coveralls are borderline indestructible and definitely keep you warm.

Jibby - I've been wearing it since I was a kid, but yes - definitely part of the uniform for field geology.

Justin - SICK

, nicely done. Very close to what I initially visualized,too.

This thread takes on so many topics, never fails to entertain and enlighten

(although this one was my fault

).

they also had a binder with all types of materials/colors to choose from....I made some back in the day

Thats cool other people rememberthat...

 

[battleground03]

Not the 70's but I remember getting some Vans that you can customize. It think my pair was maroon/grey with "rad" logo's on the midsole

This was back in my bmx freestyle days

 

[jwdanklefs]

Yeah I just grew up at a school a little southeast of San Antone and everyone out there, whether you were in FFA or 4H or not, you wore a Carhartt andWranglers. I myself did not do the Wranglers but in my younger years had one of the classic Carhartt jackets. I probably even rocked it with my Penny IIs andcrazy horse Dr. Marten 8 holes... I mean it rarely gets cold in Texas but when it does it's usually wet and rainy too. I just figured Texas was the onlystate that really rocked it. You learn something everyday... I will admit to wearing a Abercrombie knock off Carhart in highschool though, good thing it gotstolen... lol

 

[lonelyboysole]

Justin - That 1st Carhartt Am1 is very clean

 

[bahunt8]

The penny 95's are hot
Proto those id's look very good
jwdanklefs that gif is great

 

[kickz4show]

All I need now is Canyon Golds and Yellow Streaks and the set is complete......(anyone?)

 

[jwdanklefs]

These QSs came in today... Straight from the outlets...
I know like 3 people here in SA are expecting them to be here today, as well as Cris... All confirmation for the 5th...




And these iDs came in today as well...
I have one more pair that came in about a week ago but I'm not gonna post it until I am "done" with it... Justin help me out...

 

[supamars11]

just a heads up, new AM1 id options are now available, not really feelin' it, but I'll probably warm up to them sooner or later
