Those shoes are actually super functional. You see, when Raf was starting out as a designer, he loved to bike. But he could only afford ****** bicycles where the chains would snap right off the gears. Growing tired of this, he started wearing spare chains around his shoes. So when those shoes arrive in the mail, don't think about how tacky they look. Think about how much they'll save your ass next time you're riding a ****** bicycle where the chains break. Function over form.


bikes are for pussies

chains are for combat





Maybe I'll go barefoot

Me too, although I haven't seen either material in person.

I would prefer the twill with the natural leather straps (like the red label nanamica collab), but unfortunately those are hard to come by.

I just found a used pair of Lanvin Patch Work Trainers Suede 2009 for around $100 included shipping from UK, the condition was okay with normal tear and wear and the pattern cap toe is still very clean.
This is the stock photo:

What do you guys think about the deal? Is the style and condition worth the price? Also, I heard, not so long ago, Lanvin changed their sneakers sole to a better one, anyone know what year was that?

Thanks

I prefer longer to shorter, that's for sure. based on measurements, length should be spot on.

Just saying cuz most of your recent fits have had outerwear that was too long, like covering your zipper, which is understandable since you're like a 54 and Rick tends to run long.

The blistered lamb is dope but pretty thin so IDK how durable it is in the long run.
