, what're the jeans?

They're just some old navy jeans that I bleached, took like 45 mins.

3-year-old J Brands needed a new button & my tailor gave them a high-fashion upgrade.





Also a pair of Lucky Brand boots I've had for a couple years, aging surprisingly well for a cheap pair of shoes.

This is why you don't mow the lawn while wearing suede shoes.

I've always loved the JB pocket bags design and their super thick canvas so I think it's awesome that first rips on my JBs are showing 'them off. @8months

Cons are coming along quite nicely

Actually they have one iny tiny tear at the right inner heel. Though I haven't had them for that long so I guess they're kinda lame atm compared to some other stuff.

Not my pic, but I love how CP's age.

Bedford buttons are removable, but held in by little circular rings. I lost one.
Sometimes you need to improvise

I've always wondered what Drips look like once they've seen some wear. Anyone have a picture?

HUGE crotch area rip while leg wrestling with my friend a year ago. patched, which fell off, and then repatched last week.

basic white supergas that I retired after ~1 year. I didn't even wear them that hard smh (the soles are completely in tatters but I don't have pics)

Gave a local denim company some old jeans and told them to go wild, REALLY impressed with the results:

Got a pair of Clark's for crazy cheap bc apparently the dye didn't take to the leather. Fine by me, I love how they look.
(pardon the power stance)


For context, this is another pair that hasn't been tried on.


Kinda fitting that the leather upper wears at the same pace as the crepe soles.

My Vans Authentics.

There's actually quite a bit of ripping where the midsole is separating which is starting to worry me a bit but no too much. I've already had to do some minor repairs in the form of shoe goo on the bottom because I dragged my feet too much. I should mention that I plan on wearing these until they completely disintegrate or I die, whichever comes first.

some real carnage on these shoes. almost unwearable. very uncomfortable on my feet and if there is even a drop of water on the ground my whole sock will be soaked. love the convenience though, lol.

skated and moshed in. I stopped wearing them once I got a hole right under my toe.

sorry for the double post but I got a new pair for christmas

My Common Projects. Bought used and then used and abused by me, left one has a ripped lace hole.
