New shoes & a new brand

I think it’s time I buy another pair of shoes, the ones I have are still in good condition but they’re getting old. The black colors are faded the soles are scoffed, and the shoelaces…are doing pretty well actually!

All my shoes are Vans, it’s my favorite brand and I like their simplicity. But wearing skate shoes all the time when you’re not skating is…probably not fashionable.

It’s going to be a hassle finding another brand to wear, ugh.

So far I’ve found Macbeth, a brand from Southern Californian. It was founded by Tom deLonge (member of Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves). They look nice, they’re similar to Vans (big surprise) and they’re not so skateish.

London creative label Lazy Oaf released A preview of their 2012 spring/summer clothing. The collection is inspired by illustrations, drawings and graphic design. It consists of printed collar polo shirts, graphic tees, and long- and short-sleeved tops.

At some point Carabiners replaced the traditional button. It was a really creative trend. Not sure if it’s still around, the trend came about not that long ago.

Vans Rata Vulc

Another awesome spring/summer Vans shoe. It’s very similar to Toms.

Different colors are available, but this color seem the most modern and elegant.

• Soft, contoured custom EVA-molded sock liner with reverse waffle texture for total comfort.

Vans Chauffeur

An awesome ‘boat shoe’ style by Vans. Different colors available.

• It’s a super lightweight slip on, weighing only 9 oz. 
• I would consider it a beach shoe for sure.
• It’s made from recycled products, with materials like hemp and suede.

Cost: $52 at Zappos

Another recurring street trend is the rugged back pockets. It’s completely accidental, but it’s a very cool look. The back pockets become stressed and worn usually by wallets or keys. Rips and tears whether they are accidental or not also add style.

Also shown is pant’s leg folding, a new trend from summer. Hopefully, it will return this summer.
