Red Wing 875 : 1 Year in the making

While the harsh salted snow doesn’t allow us Canadians to wear coke whites all year round, my 875′s aren’t affected by the same predicament. Like a pair of 24 oz. Sammies, the built-to-last RW875′s only get better with time and distress. I’ve posted a few of my beat up footwear, but these 1 year old workboots take the cake. Feel free to send me photos of YOUR beat up beauties, and i’ll try to round em all up in a future post!

New Balance 875 Trail Boot.

The 875 Trail boot is a new model first seen in the collaboration with Concepts. Now, I don’t have much information about these boots as to when or where to get them (Jesse is supposed to fill me in) But I did find out some brief description about them. With comfort and durability in mind, the boots were designed with a New Balance’s Rollbar™ technology for maximum support and stability. Additionally, NB designers used a PU Wedge in the heel and compression molded EVA in the forefoot. With a such a strong heritage, historic background and experience in Trail, NB played their cards right by creating a fully functional hiking boot dressed up in a mahogany premium leather to make things a little more fitting with today’s “a la mode” standards.

Big thanks to Jesse and Tiger for getting these to me for an early Christmas present.

Kinda stole this idea from Johnny. At least I’m admitting to it. Here’s my little shop guide for the snow season. Had to switch up the wardrobe a little this weekend because of the amount of snow and wind outside, so here are, for me, some essentiels pour l’hiver (winter must-have’s, you fucking blokes) Oh and p.s. to all you hypebeasts reading my blog, I know you do, Don’t give me shit about brand synergy…This isn’t an ensemble. PEACE

Oh, one more thing, I tend to use my ipod alot in winter because it’s so gloomy outside, here’s a mix to top off everything, you are welcomed: J rocc – Syndromes 2

one.

I have been shaving my hair since the 7th grade and trust me, it gets cold up there. Cashmere for my head please. Can’t half step on your scarf game, never know when you might need to wrap it around your main squeeze to impress her.

two.

I don’t give a shit, Oxfords are all year-round, I’ll wear that shit to sleep. “Thomas Pink. They make shirts. UK shit. Butter.”-Paul 107. And if you are on a financial slope, then L.L.Bean. Period.

three.

Shawl collars for the win this year. It’s the perfect alternative to the ever so homo turtle necks. W+H and Maiden Noir. Canadian cotton and Japanese cotton only

four.

Take your peacoat, throw it back into your closet and wait til march. Feathers > Wool

five.

You gotta have chinos to go with an oxford, that’s just how it works. It’s like having mashed potato’s with a steak. Beer with pizza. Cheese in a burger. I could go on for ages…

six.

You knew I would suggest a pair of Redwings. I still don’t know if I’m down with the little tongue flap coming on to the toe cap on those Vendor Boots…But that wheat color is just bananas with the royal blue laces.
