Jesus Christ has New Balance fallen off…
I miss the classy 574s and similar models. All their recent shoes look like they’re made up of spare parts.

What’s wrong about them 574s? They’re just keeping it simple, which is pretty much a Staple Design motto. This isn’t the first time NB is collaborating with Staple, either.
Is the Staple pigeon motif really what’s hot in the streets still?
It’s hilarious how a design concept centered around hype managed to go this far.
I suppose it is less risky to try and milk what works though.
More power to them.
My problem with modern NB is that they look ridiculous. The Encap area seems to always be larger than it should be, and the colorways have been lacking.

Those are classy NBs. They’re just so much more smooth and stream lined. Tis a shame these NB Locations don’t exist anywhere.
Dayum. Im late n this bitch.
Ive recently started buying lots of clothes since shoes are in a drought this season.
Weekend pickups:
Shiny maroon windbreaker (My fall showpiece!)
Basic grey zip up jacket w. detailing
Grey plaid windbreaker
Black n White Cardigan
Summer graphic tank
Red/black/white/grey button up
Purple/Grey deep v neck short sleeve
Picnic pattern red/white button up
For the guy trying to upscale this fall, just layer. Throw a button up over your tee, unbuttoned with a jacket on top with some nice jeans.
I seen a grey leather bomber at Urban Outfitters yesterday, it was only 128. Im gonna snatch that bitch up next weekend.
info on the button up and basic grey zip up?
The grey zip up jacket is by Heritage1981, sold in Forever 21 stores that carry mens clothing. I cant find it online, but they were in the store. I believe it was on sale for 28$.
Picnic pattern red/white button up - Crooks & Castles (88$, got it for 52$)
Red/black/white/grey button up - Gap (48$)

^From the back tag, the first windbreaker is by Charles & 1/2 - a New York brand.
Question, what are your thoughts on colored skinny jeans?
They were an impulse buy last fall. I have some teal Rocksmiths and some maroon Orisue’s. Since they are dark colored, I would usually just wear those with a solid black or white tee and some sneakers. But It seems like when I see other people in colored skinnies I cringe a little because the bright colors are so… tacky, not to mention they usually have on brightly colored shoes, accessories, hats…etc etc.
Matter fact, im beginning to get out of skinny jeans in general. Such a bandwagon fad now. I remember when I got my first pair in 06 when they were HELLA expensive and my friends n family would give me shit for it. Now everybody is seeing how skinny they can go.
I prefer straight legs anyway. I just like a tapered ankle, so it doesnt look like the jeans are eating my shoe.
do any of you guys shop at yesstyle?
Whats the shipping charge? They have some cool tees but, I mean…we have that type of stuff here. Japanese casual/street style is very americanized, and in that respect its pretty outdated.
Id only be interested in their sneakers.

that 200 dollar sweater from jcrew was cashmere. thats why it was/is 200ish dollars.
whats hot in the streets for the youth. i’m trying to help my cousin out school shopping this year. what are 14 year olds wearing nowadays?
^ I see a lot of kids around here rocking a white v-neck, some cargo shorts, a NY fitted and some really weird haircut lol.

Shoot, I did that before it was cool. Now that’s pretty much my workout wear :lol:
But heck, for some reason I can’t get into wearing caps. I prefer my fedora, thank you.
So yeah, it’s my senior year in high school, and I’m trying to dress up this year - I mean everyone already knows me as the guy who wears a button down / ties just for the heck of it, but now I’m gonna start looking professional. Forget the thug life look, I plan to make a living once I get my GED - And look damn good doing it.
What are your guy’s opinions on casual dress pants? I still say they’re more comfortable than jeans, for me at least. I hate jeans for some reason :lol: I either go Cargos or Slacks / Dress pants, but I was wondering what colors / styles of dress pants do you think look best.

Please tell me you goto a private school, who the hell where ties for the heck of it in a public school unless you’re in some kind of debate team or Steve Urkel looking mother fucker.

Nah it’s public, fuck no one in the private schools around here even wear ties. I just do it cause I can, and cause they look decent if you wear 'em right. Then again I’m not stuck in 'em all day, so I haven’t gotten the chance to hate them yet. :lol:
Usually though I just wear a tee / button down with cargos / slacks. No need for layers, cause Bako is pretty warm most of the year.
another popular highschool style is the White tee, basketball shorts, yankee (or any navy blue colored) fitted, and the Air Max 95s combo
There is also the holister/abercrombie/american eagle steez, Im not sure if thats a cool look up north though.

I’ve only seen people wear ties, if they have on a vest of some kind. But to just wear that shit around for fun???
I mean, you could do it if you pull it off right.
