I am so out of the loop. I had no idea what these were until I just googled them. This is another example where checking this thread is a great learning experience. If I saw these, I would probably not look twice. But, I will now!

Is the sole/tread made by Continental tire? WOW

They are adidas ultra boost 1.0, basically the shoe that changed the athletic shoe game for everyone and caused Nike execs to lose a lot of sleep

Anyone have any experience with so called Traveler suits? I'm looking for suits that hold up pretty well traveling or even just wearing to work. I seem to be a little hard on mine and wondered if there were some that were better about looking good after a full day of work.

I googled it and found:

J. Crew Ludlow
paul Smith Traveler
SuitSupply Traveler
Brooks Brothers brookscool (I think it used to be called Brooksease).

Looking for opinions from experience with these or others. I used to like the JAB Traveler, but they have really gotten crappy and they way too much padding.

Many of the ones I've come across in thrifts have little pulls and that matte finish of those suits seem to be awfully revealing of flaws for things designed to be durable and lasting. Probably doesn't tell you much because all of those may have seen years of use but..

Is boost still popping off in the resale market? I know the demand has fallen off a lot in the last couple of months because I have a sneakerhead coworker and limited releases that used to sell out in 10 secs online are just sitting on shelves now.

Yea maybe the sneaker heads aren’t jumping but the regular guys everywhere else who finally get access to the nice boost shoes are still buying

Versace experts - kop at $20?

I've been finding more cm in my size lately and I like it. Not sure if this is a two piece but couldn't find the pants.

This was in the pocket. Shoutout if it's someone on the forum.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was all the same guy.

I've never heard of this brand but the fabric was nice. Seems like some high end stores carry it.


Also I wanted to take a WILD pic live from the thrift of a dude in the Goodwill shirtless with leather pants and a leather vest on. He was really straddling a skin head vs leather daddy look then I noticed he straight up had a SS tattoo on his shoulder. Quite a sight for Manhattan.
