generic man: naval white canvas shoes

the white whale: super simple high-tops by pro keds


i’ve been a fan of air force ones for some time and own a few. but i came across these the other day and had to get them. super simple, un-flashy, almost generic… not even the red and blue keds lines on the sides, its more like a simple sketch of what a high top is. just the way i like them. by dd

terence koh loves and loved by converse

this may not be new news, as i believe these special edition all-white-leather hightop all stars from converse by terence koh came out in march, but i still had to share. a minimalist rendition of the classic. shoes feature a square back, seamless edges, super smoothed body, and crisp leather laces. a percentage of the purchase is contributed to the 1hund(red) campaign to fight aids in africa. and only $150, and only available in white. oh right, and if you want, you can order them here. by kl
