I wear plain black flops around the house and to the beach in summer but I hate the way they look. Man toes are gross period. Skin figs need to hide!

Even worse are those adidas flip flops that have the big strap instead of a between the toes thong. Now that, is some heinous college dorm wear.

Ewwww @ that stovepipe cut.

I saw a lot of shit talk on here about the fit of Gildan tees and praise for American Apparel. I'll print on both depending on the style. You can usually anticipate which designs will be bought by an emo twig and which will appeal to a man with meat on his shoulders.

He's right Sheeple,

Supreme stuff is only cool if you know them and get it at cost. Same goes for most "urban" designers. That shit has an expiration date. Only a dodo wastes tons of cash on clothes like that when there are goldmines out there for dirt cheap on consignment.

Why not work on the body & mind first? Ever notice what a big designer's wearing? Maybe 30 year old jeans and an inside out tee shirt.

I think it's better to have a handfull of nice garments that you take care of and wear to death than paying out the ass to be some meathead's billboard. Don't people realize that even Supreme consider there rich clients to be a bunch of idiots?

Shave it with a #1 clipper and grow a beard.

You have a pretty good shape to the face, so the beard (if you can even grow one) will enhance it, make you look older & tougher. Get rid of the "hairstyle" period. It makes you look 13. This goes for both guys who posted pictures.

Let the beard grow in for at least a month and trim your neck. Wash your face more often, drink more water and lay off the refined carbs.

Gag me with a spoon. Pharell, BBC, Supreme, Bape... that shit is so FreshJive 1992 but still not as good.

Pharrell's thinking TK is some underground genious but TK's going to end up taking it mainstream. It's like the black Bam Margera. Did you see his deck on the shelf of that weak MTV show?

SHIT IS WACK!

WTF is Baker thinking keeping that fool on the team (well, the obvious answer is money).

Ice Creams and BBC are garbage.

Anyone check out th eCorey Duffel Sesions jeans or the Emerica super slims? Both are stretch jeans made for men but modelled after girls jeans. They have no flare and fit mad tight.

As much as the homophobes like to bag on them or call tehm emo or whatever, I still like the look. Ramones in da howze!

I'm surprised to see people hating on white jeans. It's a little weird in fall, but a tight pair can look great on the right legs/ass.

And don't any heads remember that white Lees were like part of the whole kit - Kangol, gazelles, turtleneck, goggles, white lees...

Or rocker - long hair, tight white jeans w/ metal shirt & big hightops. There you go kid, instant hipster.

Haven't ordered but they look to have many sizes and colors:

I want some vintage white Lees. Anyone seen those anywhere?

I'm using a Canon AE-1 for film and I need a new digital.

I had a Canon A-70 for three years it worked great but it was dropped one too many times and is now toasted.

My girl is a pro and gets these insane loaner cameras from her agency. The things are so good they make consumer cameras seem like toys.

It depends on your foot size vs. inseam.

Rod Lavers

Purcells

Lakai Kingstons

Vans Era

I don't know about that boxing shoe/diesel shoe look, seems played.

Some white toughskins for flair

a pair of Duck Heads for work

2 pair of Levis 514's on rotation

1 pair benneton super slim/lows

Eeeeewwww @ patent leather, but the light colored check slip ons all the way to the right are okay.

Nothing beats the early 80's where you could custom design your own vans. You'd get a paper Vans catalog in the mail and could pick different patterned rubber, suede and canvas areas for the entire shoe.

Thanks so much for the replies, great resources!

I'd rather see Andre Nickatina or Mike D or someone actually skilled associated with skating than some rich motherfucker who just wants to exploit skating for his own gain.

It's worse than a suburban white kid getting rich making reggae.

Once again let me remind non skaters that there is no such thing as one particular "skater kid" look. It's a look marketed by mall shops like Pac-Sun and worn mostly by non-skaters that you're talking about.

Here are examples of different skaters and completely different looks -

Pharell is on TK's jock so hard.

He's what you call a poser. Pharell showed up at ASR for the Koston game of Skate. Clyde Singleton did a tre flip and then pushed his board over to Pharell and said - "I give you all day to learn that one". Think he landed it? LOL. NO.

"I'M NOT A SKATER I JUST POSE A LOT."

i still like dunks. 2 tone lows please. pre-2002 nylon tongues if possible.

I hear you on the tongues. That is a great thing about the nikes.

Lakai also makes nice kicks with thinner tongues.

Crailtap had a cool instructional on how to remove the foam from tongues a while back. It works.

Just slice the inside of the tongue and remove the foam, then tape or sticker over the slice. You won't believe how big the sponge is in there!

based on the pics, definitely the kims make you look better.

return them both and get 514's. They're the same leg with low waist and no ass designs.

Otherwise take the kims.

LOL at some of these replies - gym membership, objective pronouns.

I think this thread is a direct result of harsh words in the Worst/Denim/trend/hype thread.

Skateboarding and it's influence on fashion via branding/videos/tradeshows etc. is a huge and complex subject. There are entire forums dedicated to the subject and to discuss it here would take much time.
