Loved the vid. Sick pickups! I will say I agree a bit with the ALD / stussy (pronounced stoosy cause of the umlauts) comparison, due in part to I think both brands tracking that demographic that was locked in when it was strictly logo pieces, to now understanding that they’re grown up now and want that “grown man streetwear”. I will say I’m less impressed with ALD just because it’s just Ralph Lauren, stussy still has a bit of a streetwear edge to the “grown up” pieces
Love those T.W.O boots. I want that exact color way. Seems like you pick up a lot of Visvim footwear. I think you may have mentioned before you have been revamping your style so what was it before?
I would say more than anything, I used to be very into sneakers, and still to this day I hold onto some of my most sentimental pairs, while offloading the ones collecting dust. I got most of those over 3 years ago and obviously taste develops, changes, etc. Since roughly 2018 I’ve been interested in the same brands although I would just say that I’ve streamlined my selection of pieces since then based on how they fit me and my personality. I really loved frugal aesthetic’s most recent video and it’s emphasis on knowing your measurements. But yeah on boots specifically I finally have been getting rid of lots of unused items from collecting since 2016 and then putting that back into the current rotation. I think now I just see myself wearing them for years and years to come as they were purchased with that intent after long deliberation. Sorry if the answer is a little long winded, but I think it’s important to give full context! Thanks again for always watching.
@@stylesgraeme would be an interesting video of seeing what you are getting rid of. Should get some 7 Holes as well. I picked up a pair of the contrary dept from the Visvim site.
Great video as always! Interested to know what you meant with the stussy and ALD comparison? Did you mean in terms of their products or people’s attitude/popularity towards the brands?
Thank you for the support! Yes I drew the comparison because I just see Stussy having this rebirth of mass media streetwear attention, in a way where it used to be mallcore in the 2010s, and an OG skate brand before that. Personally, I think the brand does perfectly what it sets out to do which is continue that skateboarding legacy, I don't expect some crazy nuanced high fashion approach. But I just see it growing exponentially like ALD did in its early years and wonder where it will end up.
@@stylesgraemegot you! In the U.K. stussy has gone through several rises and falls in popularity. Around 8 years ago it was incredibly popular, you would see people wearing at daily. Not really the crowds which have traditionally worn in here either. It’s having another rise in popularity here, but I feel that it’s a brand that will always stand the test of time no matter the rises and troughs
I think if you have narrow feet, TTS is the way to go. I have wide feet and wear an 11.5 so I got a 12. Definitely not insanely tight around my foot like the boots have been described in other vids, but my feet don't move much and I have no heel slip. Maybe I will try an 11 when a pair comes my way, but the boots fit me great. Thank you for watching.
You popped up on my notifications. Had to come see the hype
I haven’t seen a pair of tan Shaman Christos under like 850 in so long 🥲

Great pickups bro!

How do the t.w.o. Boots fit?
