^ those look like denim, probably from some other collection, great fit btw, once again I wish I could fit a julius jacket :P

 

Trendy Andy:

Hey Mike,

What shirt is that? Is it Label Under Construction? It looks really good on you.  

sorry forgot to mention, the shirt is by N4. the brans is designed by Jun Hashimoto, the guy from wjk who formerly worked with carpe diem.

Not true, it's an algorithm.  Doesnt' matter how it starts, if he keeps doing the same series of moves, he will end up with the solved cube no matter how it started.  How he knows it is done is a mystery to me though as I've never tried it myself.

i would generally accept that, but notice the beginning of the clip with the clock already running into 30 seconds, he is not yet blindfolded but *looking at the cube* and evidently memorising? I would assume anyway. 

not that good it at with my eyes open let alone memorizing and then blindfolding myself...have not know your weaknesses

A  it almost feels as though they were created as a joke, i am sorry.  b i just dont think they can complete any outfit...c) i am not quite sure even how they function. it looks like just a bunch of colored straps attached together to wrap around the foot, barely even covering the bottom, which afterall is what the bottom of a shoe should do, otherwise why wear it? .

A) Fashion+Levity = the best type of clothing there is.

B) I mentioned the best way to wear them was a more subdued manner than being the focal point.

C) What footwear today aside from rainboots or something sport specific (i.e. cleats) really serve a fuction aside from adornment and decoration?  Going from your house to the subway/car to work and back do we really require something that is going to "protect" and "shelter" our feet?

A: being fun with fashion is great. i agree completely.  but i feel this may push that a little too far for me

B: subdued manner would be good but i dont think it can be done with a piece like that- that was not accomplished in your waywt pic

C: we do put things on our body for adornment and decoration yes. Certain items are that but still need to be more.  i feel that shoes fall into this category. those are not being worn on the beach. i assume, they are being worn in nyc. so i just can not get away from maintaining that it should provide at least a sole for the foot, so that you are not walking on dirty concrete. it does not have to function like a rainboot or a trainer- obviously we wear these things aside from their initial intended 'functions'.

 
aesthetically i do find them highly lacking.  they are not what i would consider to be beautiful or successful as a piece.

But your shoes remind me of this.

Still, wear them.
 

They remind me these of my that my friend Phillipe Blonde has from Balenciaga.  His have already broke 2x.

 

 

I guess what I was saying by "subduing" them was either wearing them with something that might combat them for attention or with some pants that are nearly covering them.  A white tshirt and some shorts would make them center of attention.

The N4 shirt is nice looking Mike. Better than some of the DRKSHDW simple loose tees. Did you pick up that shirt during you trip to Japan? So the designer used to work with "Karupe Diemu" huh? Wow, it seems like everyone has worked with Carpe one time or another. Who hasn't, except for us hooligans who admire their work to death. LOL

I also want to comment on how great that shirt looks. Any suggestions on how to track one down and insight on sizing, price, etc., would be great.

i wish they would color in blue eyes to take it to the next level...maybe next months !?

I don't think the Rafs are really comparable to the Balenciaga shoes at all.     They look like classic handmade greek sandals in shape and construction but the colors and materials make them look "techno."  The hybrid of earthy tradition and techno "futurism" is typically Raf and that's why they work, imo.  Also, they are a lot more substantial than they look--at least as protective of the feet as the gladiator sandals that every other girl on the street is wearing.

I totally agree about not wearing them with shorts.  They look absolutely perfect with those pants.   I like the whole outfit, but would love to see something less structured, less tucked-in, and more over-sized on top.  A lot of the runway looks that were shown with bare feet would work really well with the sandals, imo.

In any case, very nice job with a difficult piece.

not gunna quote mr. lowery again but I just wanted to say that leather shirt looks really good

I've been looking for one just like that

simplicity is underrated

 

 thanks guys. the shirt is linen by the way, not leather.

I think N4 has two designers, the other guy being the one who started wjk and worked with carpe, hence why wjk has made paneled tees in the style of L'maltieri, and cdiem boot lookalikes atleast. they're somehow associated with mindtrive and based in kyoto as well, I saw the company name on a door at one of the mindtrive locations. might make a thread about the brand later on

mindtrive is the only place I've seen to carry them, and they sell the brand in-store only

I'm totally with laika on this one. They are gonna work heavenly with your brand new copper "dress". Take them to the Siddhartha side and continue to have fun with clothing (I hate the word fashion). This is a breath of fresh air on this thread.

U-suck,. You have three lines in your wardrobe Thom, Raf and Rick. They are so different I find very difficult to find a haircut that works with all of them. Is it an issue for you?

mike lowrey kills again.

i kinda agree with laika on yousuck's outfit. although he doesn't strike me as a kinda guy who is used to loosening up sartorially.  maybe that's why rick doesn't work on him, but jil does very well.  i have to say, i'm gad yousuck doesn't get discouraged.

Mike another great outfit. I was actually wondering about the undershirt. The top shirt looks killer too, don't get me wrong, but the undershirt is more my personal steez.

I was thinking of trying it with the hightops; but, after this suggestion and as a way to pay homage to the Superhero exhibit at The Met (which is where I'm going) I decided to go again with the sandals.
