Yep, I stopped wearing Chucks when the prices went from $20 for oxfords and $25 for high tops to double that.

I still have my old stars and bars though.

A few year ago (8 or so) I was able to get 2 pairs of Chuck Taylors for 30 bucks, still wear them to this day but jesus prices went up really bad.

I wear shoes that I hand made out of the skin of a pig that I killed myself, and carved the Mayhem logo into them (and my own skin, since I was wearing them when I did the carving). Am I kvlt now?

I bought a dark grey semi-long coat, one of those you wear with a suit, right after christmas. It was on a 30% discount and approx. half of the remaining sum I paid with bonus money so I paid only 50€ (33% of the original prize) for it. Great deal and great looking coat.

I also bought a used ART tube pac preamp/compressor. Great little piece of equipment!

I only really wear one pair of trainers these days, and I'm rocking green flash. Wanted some for years and it was an impulse buy but boy am I glad I bought them:



Sort of shoes MM would wear

Sneakers are surprisingly addicting! The male equivalent of Manolo Blahniks, maybe? I'm a fan of Adidas Superstars. I already have two pairs, and could easily see myself buying more. These are the latest pair I bought, and I'm not even a Spurs fan!

If you think that's crazy [and it is], take a look at this:

$75 bucks for a pair of cheap, black canvas sneakers made in China. Whoa.

As long as we're talking about shoe addiction I'm convinced I could own a million pairs of Vans.
