Posted on 04. Jun, 2010 by bespokeordie.
I will be the first to admit that I completely and totally neglected my A.P.C. Rescue denim. Selvedge denim is meant to be worn frequently and repeatedly until it conforms to your body. It’s lines, fading colors, and crinkles will eventually all echo your body in a way not pre-warn denim can ever truly [...]

The wait is over and the shoes I have been aching to get on my feet are finally here. These are honestly the first pair of high-top sneakers I have bought in years. I have been enthralled with the Nike Air Flight Condor Hi SI since I posted about them a little over a week [...]
