I’m a big fan of wearing articles of clothing that play on a role of cultural influences. Trends come, go, and get passed down through out the pyramid. But clothing from cultural purposes holds much more than just looking great but they can carry a story and purpose.
The Kimono is a tradition Japanese garment worn by both men and women. It I said that the word Kimono means “thing to wear” (Ki “wear” and mono “thing”). Today women most likely wear Kimonos for special occasions. Men tend to save them solely for marriages and tea ceremonies.
Nike is still holding down the fort for offering the most comfortable sneakers on the market. With their series if variations of the free run and Roshe Runs. My first go at the free runs I got my hands on these. Which in turn changed the level of comfort you can experience from any sneaker. Believe me I have been through every style of sneaker you can think of.
There are many advantages to have a sample size in footwear (Size 9). One being sneakers always look better between the sizes of 8 – 10.
Another advantage is that you may get your hands on sneakers that may be extremely exclusive. But nonetheless I picked up these Woven Roshe Runs during my stay in Brooklyn. What is really sweet about owning these joints and fitting in sizes between 9 – 10. These sneakers didn’t come out for men they were designed exclusively for women. I spotted them a few months back via crazy ways of the internet. Drooled over them for a week or so, tried to get a pair but came to find out they were only for women so I just scratched them off my list. This time around I figured why not try on the largest size they may have just for the hell of it and what do yah know. They fit like a glove and just as comfortable as any other Roshe sole sneaker.
