Mr. Hare Shoes

[chronoaug]

Yea, some of these are nice enough to where i'd sell some of my shoes to get em'. I like the toe shape a lot on the plain black ones as well. Depending on more info i wouldn't mind getting those over my black NDCs or Helmuts but the only problem would be finding buyers for my stuff

I've heard some refer to Hare as the "Japanese Abercrombie" with quality to match. Also that the brand shamelessly rips off Dior Homme designs. I would assume "Mr. Hare" is the same brand or is it different??

 

[chronoaug]

I'm guessing a different brand as i've never seen Hare makes shoes like these.


Also, i don't think hare you're talking about is much of an abercrombie thing at all. More like if h&m was a brand sold at various stores rather than a store. Still, the brand hare is fast fashion mostly going off a hedi slimane dior type look but changes based on what's "in" in the fashion world.

different brand.

I've been lurking this site for a good while now, but these shoes have brought me out of hiding. The Stingray Orwell, as it is called, is absolutely gorgeous

. Those and the Genet are looking nice.

Are these MC approved or do they have to be worn by a british prince or italian guy with sperretuzza first?


Still can't find out much about the brand

lighting in a lot of the pics looks weird. shoe collection looks pretty good. http://www.mrhares.blogspot.com/ did you guys check out the blog? refers to himself as mr. hare all the time... the whole concept is pretty weird. wonder where "mr. hare" comes from or if that is actually his name, and he refers to himself in the third person. blog posts are kinda gimmicky, but eh whatevs, he seems to have good taste.

From a link about blake construction shoes. Well said about forums

Blake shoes get a lot of stick on style forums. The biggest reason is that they are not as long-lasting as Goodyear – but this is the case for lots of different types of clothing, from silk socks to summer suits. As Nathan Brown at London shoemaker Lodger comments:

“If you go and buy a lightweight suit from Kiton it’s not going to last as long as a Huntsman shooting jacket – those things last for centuries. But that doesn’t mean the Italian suit isn’t beautiful and it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the money.”

In my opinion, the problem is that style forums can really only discuss practical matters. They are great for recommendations on tailors, news about discounts and explorations of sartorial history. But you can’t discuss taste. It is subjective. A full English brogue on the Tricker’s model is very ugly to some; to others, a pointy Italian slip-on is the height of crass. Neither is right or wrong.

So forum discussions of shoes tend to focus on the quality of construction. They swap experiences on longevity and value for money. On those grounds, Goodyear-welted shoes will usually win. In fact, what you want is a cordovan boot with a triple sole – it’ll last a lifetime.

His blog posts are weird as **** but cool, especially as you go further back and he starts posting various shoes he likes (socal has 2 of em in there haha)


Still can't find anything at oki-ni or the other stockists listed or anything about pricing

yeah that's exactly what i was thinking. he seems like a cool guy, but it might be a contrived personality. was wondering who the man behind it is...

he has to have some kind of insider connection to get this hype anyways.

the collection will probably launch in stores soon enough

 

[chronoaug]

Yea. If the prices are reasonable, i would mind selling a pair of shoes or two to get a pair. Stingrays are super dope but their plain ones look real nice too. I hope sufu doesn't create a thread on them or something because there are sooooo many lurkers and bloggers that watch sufu and then in snowballs. I don't want everything to be sold out immdiately when they hit stores.

 

[XenoX101]

Well they're not related to CCP, Geller or Cloak so I don't think you should worry too much . Unless the high posters start repping them hard, then the sheep may flock.

 

[Big Pun]

I'd like to cop those plain ones as my first nice formal shoes, barring it's not too expensive. I think they'd be nicer than Allen Edmonds PA's for some reason.

 

[Vashin]

I'm guessing they're gonna be alot more expensive than AE.

 

[ppllzz]

these look like black shoes. my premiatas are probably on par with them -_-
