I don't know if I'm crazy but I'm considering trading / selling my Poppy bowling shirt to get the ivory Bougainvillea

I have both and honestly prefer the poppy more, it’s just easier to wear than the ivory. I feel like the ivory only works well with white pants or really light colored jeans which I don’t wear often.

why not have both?

Because I'm not getting as much wear out of my poppy shirt as I'd like

Thats really interesting! The whole reason I was considering switching was because I imagined the ivory might be more versatile for summer fits i.e. goes with both light and dark bottoms haha. Would be great to see what other people think on the whole Poppy vs. Bougainvillea thing (its difficult to make up my own mind without trying it on). Thanks though!

Ive got both. When i like something i tend to buy the black or white version. The ivory shirt pairs well with black bottoms. I rock em with jet black cutoffs from Levis and checkerboard vans slipons to great effect and many compliments.

Off topic, but I remember some of you guys grabbing the first run of FoG Skylons. How’d y’all size on those compared to other Nikes?

Also, anybody get stupid lucky on the Rhude steel toes yesterday afternoon?

I’ve got both as well and I prefer the Poppy way more. Ivory is a lot more silky and thinner and I much prefer the thickness and sturdiness of the Poppy. I like the Poppy just because it isn’t as loud but looks more fire to me.

Not a bowling shirt but I have the poppy swim shorts and the print looks fire on pics, but look even better in person

Speaking of Skylons I feel like they run a half size small. I’m usually a 9.5 and these are a bit snug. I ordered today’s drop in a 10. Also wearing the white basalt here (excuse the mess) 6F305B92-CC16-4FEB-B3F8-9D9F930A57EC.jpeg FA6B4FD7-ADA7-474C-BD23-9DC7E69F527E.jpeg

Man I bought some vans OG checkerboards, they are so uncomfortable. I can’t wear them without socks because the canvas tears up the skin on my feet. I have common project slip on as well, and those are like butter.

Vans are by far the most uncomfortable shoes of all time.

I did that. The boughivillea works much better for warmer weather and the material is nicer
