Gave some wears to my 601xx 1946 Paint Model recently

Yeah, it was faded a bit. The denim is standard 1947 denim.

no big update minimal whiskers maximal twist itsa confirmed marblerrr

More vintage runner inspiration.. +some weird euro shoes.. or as we Europeans call them "shoes" Walsh Spalwart Marathon Adidas Country Nylon Adidas SL72 Reebok Aztec Alas.. nothing quite as low-pro as the Waffle Racer Additional reading.. Rewind Running The Deffest

How dare you! .. i love that shape.. it's their raison d'être Ok, let me have a look through some magazines for something slicker than average. In the meantime, the clickable links to the right will give you some inspiration from the last decade of Nike vintage repros.. anything pops out, let me know. https://vntgsneaker.wordpress.com/category/nike/waffle-racer/

Yup that's correct, this was a "1946" edition from 2020 I believe.

Broke out my Encinitas after a long dormancy and just gave them a wash after working on my truck. Owned about two years I think, worn a fraction of that:

Problem is guys, everything was slick af and perfectly balanced in the 70s.. It’s all just shoe-porn Obori Boston ..even the humble Waffle was slick ..compared to how it looks today ..but bear in mind, these shoes are repro’s of pared down running shoes, but folks are not wearing the repros to run a 3hr marathon, they’re wearing them as daily wearers so they still need to be comfortable for the modern day lumox, hence the fatter mid-sole.

going through the jeans I have - organizing etc and realized that these things will be around long after I am gone. I have some Levis that are 30 years old. I may last another thirty but probably not!

Love the look of this! Looks to have had a really short pre-release reservation period that is closed as of earlier today 😳 if they go on general sale I may get one - I too have an OG storm rider and the cropped and boxy fit is so good, would love to wear one in from fresh myself

It was a shite ride last Sunday.. it was windy as hell so i thought i'd just do a quick loop and only took basic provisions.. because of the wind, there weren't many folks out so i was f'kin nailing it.. approaching a loose rocky section in the center of the trail, i tried to ride up the bermed edges towards the outside lip where folks have walked over the years rather than walking over stones.. these sections are only 8-10" wide, you can nail it if you stay on these sections.. but if you go too fast over this slalom course .. your brain can't figure out your route in time for you to react.. my tyre lost traction and slid down the berm into the stones which threw me off the bike.. Ouch! The younger me would have been fine but i think your brain has a better ability to compute quickly incoming trail info when you're younger and give you those crucial miliseconds you need to figure out what you're going to do. I scrapped my frame, my rear derailleur, my knee is all cut up.. somehow my phone in my pocket managed to survive.. i've done more damage to this frame in the last week than the previous owner did over 25yrs The worse was yet to come when i realised i had a front tyre puncture.. like all bike-nerds i always register the tyre branding centrally to the valve but the impact and loss of air was such that it's dragged the tyre around the rim.. ut-oh.. this doesn't look good .. the innertube was toast so i had to push home from Fox House.. back up through Burbage.. walking the section from Burbage all the way to Ringinglow village without any footpath .. it was just f'kin hideous.. culvert on one side.. walking for miles through waist high mother-die and nettles.. cars zooming past within inches.. all the time pushing my bike and trying to elevate the front wheel... it took me 2.5hrs! Today was a little better, albeit..he weather was changable to say the least.. Set off in the sunshine.. f'kin soaked before i even got to Burbage S&M Bikes / Woolpower Pan0rama (click on it) This is a charming little hamlet just outside Hope.. I was looking for the 'Intrepid Brewing Company' Chocolate boxy ..staying out of the rain in Edale Ominous Mam Tor ..had to hide in Odin's Cave to avoid the rain ..back to Hope.. arse wet af because of the spray Up Fiddler's Elbow.. the very worst climb at the end of a very long day.. even by Peak District standards i had to push up the mid section.. i may or may not have shed a tear, it was hard to tell in the rain.. the only thing that saved me was 'Believe Soldiers of Twilight the Martin Solveig Vocal Dub'.. was this one of yours @Maynard Friedman ?.. my god what a fkin tune!.. it got me back peddaling with nothing in the tank ..I'm just having a well deserved beer.. featuring PE beer mat

There was a buzz in the air around our way yesterday I missed the main action but my wife was a honey and took some footage Bees had migrated from under the eaves of a local house to nest in a tree Nothing could be done to move them on while they were living in the eaves However, once in the tree, they could be moved safely... the local beekeeper was contacted The queen bee ended up safely in the bucket... and her loyal subjects soon followed The beekeeper left the bees to swarm into the bucket for a few hours Then came back, put them all in the blanket, into her car boot and took them to her hive to live happily ever after Win-win-win situation - happy bees, happy beekeeper, happy home-owner... Quite a sweet ending eh 😄

I'm a fan of these from Margiela, especially the white and blue (sans the already dirty suede and faux worn-in look and egregious price tag)

Those Reeboks are the pick of the bunch aesthetically. I’ve never liked adidas Country though.

Lots of nice muted colours to choose from

This is an understandable sentiment and helps to put the uglification of once-nice things into perspective

Maybe it's not actually the shape that I'm not fond of, but rather the colors they currently have available. These khaki / yellow ones don't look half bad.

You came to the right place.. .. are you looking for a modern shoe in the style of a waffle racer or are you looking for a repro of a 70s era Nike running shoe.. in a similar style to the waffle racer? .. something akin to LD-1000? I can help you with og Nike or Nike repros.. i'm less helpfull re- Maison Margiela.

@Hopethisoneisnttaken Hasn’t gone anywhere to speak of, yet Need to take them in to work to borrow some acetone and use a fume hood, and I’ve been kind of slammed recently so it’s been on the back burner Will make sure to post updates once they exist, for better or for worse

if anyone did and snag one of these first edition (prototype?) blacksmiths in 33-34 please pm me

Could be worth using a proxy, no?

Quite a day you had there Neal, it was nice and sunny down here yesterday! I did post that track on here years ago, but I think it was the original mix that I have on this album (worth getting if you can still find it):

Thanks. They were a tour pair, 12 different people wearing them over the year. So the only answer l can give, which is true incidentally, is that their backstory of wear and tear and different environments and washing 'techniques' over 12 months, is what makes a patch age like that. Personally I thought it would deteriorate/fall apart along time ago but it's hanging in there. Tbh l only wear them occasionally - they are from my Grail rail, jeans that are a little fragile in places but are also aged perfectly, sometimes babied, sometimes not. They have all the right ingredients to be mistaken for a vintage pair, right?

Here’s a short sleeve Wallaby shirt, number 423 maybe?, that my partner appropriated from my closet a couple of years ago. Tender items have always been so difficult for me to photograph because of the subtlety of so many of their fabrics, but this overcast day here gives a nice flat light that hopefully shows a little of the wonderful dialectical texture this shirt is developing, somehow smooth and rough, soft and robust all at once.

^ With that story I really want you to find those pants. What are the chances that what he was actually wearing was just some Dickies or Dockers or something?

Got home around golden hour on Memorial Day and noticed the low sun was picking up the fade lines to good effect. Denim is still dark aside from the lines.
