The word “trend” is the definition of in/out fashion, but nothing dies in fashion as people who wore it before the trend will carry on and people who don’t will be doing so once it comes back on trend. Just wear what you like and you won’t care.

[@garynguyen4253]

I love wearing my 550's they're so comfy and nice and whose really gonna go to me and say dead trend outside LMAO

[@Createdbycjay]

agreed. Once you stay out of the loop from consuming based on trends I think it will help people create their own timeless wardrobe. It's all subjective in the end.

[@danielxu3971]

So valid, stuff you genuinely like will stay liked regardless of trendyness

[@pejroyal9115]

📠

[@ayoonine]

I love my Birkenstocks and I did not know it was trendy. And they will get worn to death

[@TheHilltopperNation]

I think generally using TikTok/Instagram as your guide for what’s trending is fundamentally flawed since those platforms are driven by artificial hype and trend cycles produced by brands. What people are wearing on streets and what they like is much different than what influencers are being paid to push on social media

[@mbrackmann8]

100%. I almost never see people IRL wearing what TikTokers are wearing.

[@ktroopa]

Agreed! I believe I only noticed 3 people wearing 550s in the span of a year and in 3 different cities. If something died then the folks making videos about them never really cared about the shoe or style, they were just following the hype.

[@MoveOnUpMusicEvan]

@@ktroopa true but from a uk perspective I saw loads of 550s being brought about two years ago but now none really. Ofc it’s bias bc it’s my personal experience but with the fur top I literally never saw it apart from like twice on my for you page too tbh

[@metameow1]

i have seen one boston wearer and it was at the airport

[@cmn225]

big facts

[@JakeBodenhamer]

While Birks aren't as popular anymore, I still feel like they are a timeless piece. They're like the Jordan 1s of slip-ons.

[@thomasbarnes1983]

Facts, talk that shit. Timeless.

[@qifgt]

Agree , its classic menswear item like arizonas.

[@danieltobes9883]

I just order some last week 😂

[@kerri-annereyes8696]

in Australia they have been in style from the start of time

[@WARHEADFRED]

Crocs are timeless, bostons are not.

[@chadtheafricanbullfrog418]

i’m glad that 550s aren’t popular anymore, it means that i can buy them without hassle or spending $250

[@schokoladendonut]

Exactly my thought 😂

[@Androgynary]

The Boston’s will just shift from trendy to classic status like they were in pre-2020. They already had a solid user base before the social media hype which will allow them to remain relevant-just like the Arizona sandals. They’re in contrast to other trends that don’t have decades-long cultural relevancy to sustain them.

[@nina-w]

i agree!

[@jayjones148]

I remember around 2012 the Bostons were becoming a staple in Japanese Americana menswear and probably has roots in menswear fashion from before then

[@matthewraleigh5751]

Agreed. Also the silhouette of the Boston is just timeless in itself and Birkenstock is a well respected brand.

[@MarcAlain261]

I think so too

[@motomom1311]

😂😂

[@chryz910]

I'm not one that follows trends, and i recently became aware of the NB 550, and instantly fell in love with the silhouette! Ordered a white and green and can't wait to rock them!

[@Kakikuke584]

Just bought the ald 550s in grey. I think they look dope, regardless of their lack of hype. They’re way less expensive too now that the hype has died.

[@misterspino9646]

i bought them too few months ago and honestly here in Italy I havent see them around a lot. Great sneakers imo even better if theyre not trendy

[@DONQUIIIXOTE]

I’m looking forward to copping them since the price is lower well 😌

[@jcdalrymple16]

I don’t see how they can’t be considered timeless. Essentially the new balance equivalent of Air Force 1s, Adidas Superstars/Stan Smiths/Continenatals. Pretty standard sneaker shape.

[@Drippinonyou]

mm gats is my go to i wear them in every colorway. They look sick in shorts/cargos/Wide fit jeans/High waisted pants. Casual/weddings/Formal occasions included.

[@eddyc3181]

@@jcdalrymple16 same i got a bunch of pairs and still put my fits on. Idc bout trends lol

[@wizard4209]

SO interesting when it comes to the birkenstock boston. I grew up, and have lived in oregon for my entire life. We have been wearing birkenstocks of all models since I was a kid. It felt so interesting to see them be so hyped, when to me, they were still that hippie shoe that my friends dad would wear.

[@Drip93]

This guy just trend cringe propaganda

[@noiretblancetmoi]

You forgot that Converse and Vans are also sneakers that stand the test of time like the Jordan's. My belief is that when something like these silhouettes that just go with everything and basically interact with every person as something 'non-harmful' and normal they usually just appeal to the greater audience of people who just need a shoe to wear.

[@davidalba6337]

The best part of wearing trends that died years ago is that you know they can't die again while you wear them

[@paulaa.1445]

I find myself to be a very frugal person that wants to indulge in trends all the time. I consume trends like everybody else through social media, and have this gigantic urge to purchase popular items like the NB 550s, birks, etcetera. However, I never let myself buy these things for some reason, yet I still suffer for not swiping my card on it. I am always fighting with myself for being too frugal and not letting myself indulge. Then again trends come and go, so by the time I allow myself to spend money, birks and the NB550s are left in the past.

[@user-hn8eo7sh4m]

I won’t lie. I’ve had three 550s at one point but after time passed, I only have one left in my collection. The look down view wasn’t great.

[@prod.bystanley]

I love 550s. I got like 2 550s (one that I wear to the gym) and a pair of 650s. Definitely lost its hype due to constant mentions and meh cws being released, but its pretty much evolved to a basic shoe (and that's a good thing for NB, in terms of profit). Its the closest alternative to white AF1s for me.

[@dardo23]

@@prod.bystanley I ve just coped an Aime leon dore 650 that i wanted for a 1+ year, I love the shoe but i wish i ve bought it earlier

[@ChrisWarsop]

I feel brushed mohair is part of a wider trend for tactile and textured fabrics - and with all the crochet, cable knits, raffia, linen, borg, boucle, alpaca, casentino wool, faux fur, hairy suede, applique, quilting, embroidery, glitter, embossed leathers, 3D fabrics etc we're still seeing around, I don't think it's going away quite yet. I'm even wondering whether tartan mohair specifically will see a renaissance once we hit winter. EDIT: When something is everywhere, it's easy to call time on the trend and swing to the exact opposite... but the more I think about this, I'm wondering whether 'big texture' could end up being one of those broader themes that sticks around and defines the decade??

[@twocancan]

I love the NB 550 silhouette. my issue with NB 550s were that the colors were always garishly saturated. Their whites were always optic white and not cream, their blacks always black, not charcoal. I exclusively buy a more muted color palette because my skin tone is muted; my clothes gotta match my skintone, my shoes gotta match my clothes. In the rare occurrence that I found NB 550s which fit the strict softer color scheme of my wardrobe, they were always sold out.

[@raihana.onfilm]

I randomly found your channel and now im obsessed. your content is so great and different.

[@DrewJoiner]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!!

[@Oakwin_mb]

9:47 saying the 550 isn't timeless because it's essentially an 80s basketball shoe, right after saying the jordan 1s (a basketball shoe released in 1985) is a timeless shoe. lol

[@clairewillow6475]

I’m surprised those Birkenstocks became trendy in the first place. I have the sandals the ones with the buckle and I’m convinced they go with everything 😂 but I never thought of them as trendy

[@amako260]

My favorite trend is something by New Balance. Their collaborations with various brands and their fusion of classic designs are spectacular. I just recently purchased a pair of M2002RM (i.e. mules) and I'm quite fond of them because they are comfortable as well. Sure, 550 is already standing on the cliff of the trend, but I have a feeling that other products will continue to be loved in the future. And I wanted to tell you that your videos with English subtitles have been a great content to improve my English listening skills! Thanks again for all your great videos and English subtitles✌️

[@AidanSidloski]

I have recently bought some 550s and I absolutely love them, so if less people are trying to buy/resell them I won't complain.

[@Whodnl]

Sunday is meant for relaxing and watching a drew joiner video

[@tylerjennings4035]

i think regarding the topic of shoes with longevity that there are only so many shoes that have a interesting history to them. A lot of popular shoes these days just don't have the cultural impact of more classic shoes and cant stay around long enough to build one either(although i think it would be neat to hear about more "local Legend" type deals regarding certain shoes)

[@belleq1099]

#pvv I've started knitting/crocheting this past year but fully on board of maximalist colour combos!! Someone describes a lot bold colour combos as dopamine core and I think that's a perfect way to describe it. Like seeing a bright sun yellow, with a deep cerulean blue accented with various pinks just brings me so much joy and makes me feel like a walking grade school art class haha. Also on the mohair, I'm very okay with it falling out of trend in the knitting community, its so pricey for a single ball of mohair so i will say mo-bye to mohair with no regrests

[@robin0309]

I have bought the 550 with first collab with ALD (Natural Green). Still own the 650s as well and absolutely love them up to this date. they are pretty basic, versatile and also have the nice vintage flair to them and also I don't want wear Nike Af1 anymore and they deliver a nice alternative, specially if you combine them with a more "grown up style ".

[@sonsauvage]

i'm throwing this out there: 550's are really great training shoes. They're really rigid, i like them for lifting and mixed workouts. I know they were balling shoes but honestly I like training in them more than my metcons

[@vmanstudios]

*i pray every one watching this level up financially, physically, mentally and spiritually this year ! Lets get to work*

[@cal448]

I personally still like the birkenstock boston and new balance 550, so them no longer being trendy is nice for me

[@joshferguson8494]

There are some trends that really bug me but there are some trends that I admire and so when I find out they’re dead/ dying I feel so happy to swoop in and get them 2nd hand for a good deal

[@fromjahwluv]

“tiktok-ification” is a good term to describe what happens to items/memes/songs that blow up on tiktok. i love mohair cardigans but agree that they’re not as big as before. they’re still really good as statement pieces every once in a while. #pvv rn i’m really into bags. they can add such a mature and cool vibe to your fit. also reaching back into my skater roots and messing with flannels and big jeans again.

[@mrparks212]

#pvv My favorite "trend" at the moment is men wearing jewelry. On one hand its not really a trend to me as I grew up seeing it all the time ( rappers, athletes, community members, etc) but the full-on embrace of it as the cherry on top of an outfit, I find amazing. Counter question, who you got in the playoffs Drew, who's making the finals and who's taking it all?

[@marcop.525]

The problem with that it's if that jewelry has no meaning or back story behind, it's useless for a man to wear them.

[@ericleavitt9281]

@@marcop.525 says who?

[@jayfatzthedude]

Truth be told I think that when we truly embrace our own style does it matter what’s in trend. I wear the same style and comfort clothes I’ve been wearing for over 10 plus years. Regardless if people like it our not I love it. Shouldn’t that simply be enough, where fashion + comfort + functionality reaches into our daily routine. To me that’s the quintessential fashion goal.

[@metalface_6162]

Fashion trends are like art and that is something very subjective to a variety of different people. I appreciate the channel and the content you create peace ,love and positivity to everyone who watches the channel ✌️

[@Ray03595]

Still like my 550/650’s. Samba the “it” shoe now but it’s too narrow for my foot. Plus, getting an all white or all black pair of 550’s now I think is the best move. They look clean. Currently, haven’t gotten anything trendy. I keep it very simple in the summer. T shirt, and workout shorts. If Johnny collar shirts are trendy I picked up some linen ones from COS recently

[@kellyalexa1437]

Still love my Birkenstock bostons! I also bought the dr marten Jorge mules which are similar to the Jill Saunders collab without the insane price point, and they’re great quality! I thrifted a mohair blend sweater this last winter but I don’t think I’ll be keeping it around. It’s not even that itchy but it sheds, and now that I work at a jewelry store I def don’t need that snagging on my necklaces lol

[@joebeck0]

This video was so well put together dude. Great insight on New Balance's hype with the 550 and collaboration. I never ended up getting a pair of 550's but came really close to it. Looking back now I am glad I didn't because I don't think they would go with what I wear now. For current favorite trends, definitely looking forward to what does become more popular/gain more traction in the coming months, specifically i'm hoping looser fitting pants/jeans get more popular (so hyped for my naked and famous strong guy's).

[@theophlsramohlale]

Birkenstocks defsss still alive, i just think they’re underrated. crocs, graphic tees, are defss dead

[@marquicej4503]

birkenstocks are honestly timeless. i feel like they go with pretty much anything and they’re comfy.

[@johnwhite8809]

I personally wouldn’t mind more denim videos even if it’s kinda niche

[@DrewJoiner]

Coming soon!!

[@hita1403]

love the video as usual drew, great insight on the oversaturation on certain products that causes a trend to die

[@chiha8615]

My gripe with mohair is that it sheds like crazy and then sometimes matts -- when its new, its beautiful, but wearing it practicaliity-wise, I feel like its harder to care for and wear for a longer period of time.

[@jlvp23]

Birk clogs don't go out of style those and 2 straps are iconic.

[@nym5qu17]

I think people should avoid trendy items but also wear stuff even after it stops trending. If you like it you like it and it becomes you.

[@chrissybrownnz]

I wear mohair scarfs - they're pretty classic and add a bit of texture to a fit

[@5c5ve]

4:38 "No-hair" was right there...

[@thelittlethings678]

I think the entire reason Mohair was popular was that it was easy to produce synthetic versions for cheap at lower price points for consumers who are wanting accessible and affordable knitwear. I think this ties back to the popularity of knitwear over the past couple years.

[@und3rcut535]

I am happy the time of 550 is over. I love them and I like the fact that it is now seen as boring to wear so I can wear my high quality sneaker.

[@razorred0]

From a marketing standpoint. The only reason why these each of these trends die was because supply met demand. Keep things limited & the longevity of a trend increases. When ald started restocking everything the shoe became less in demand. People want to deny that increasing supply wont kill a trend bc theyll be able to finally get them but at the end of 2 months that new shoe is in the corner of a room and theyre moving on to the next limited shoe . I can explain why tiktokification also adds to increase a false sense of supply which reduces demand. Most long lasting trends like jordans, yeezys, and now some nbs have been bc they all have limited models that will stay relevant because people look them up but cant access them

[@shoki5271]

Now a days trends are not relevant as it used to be. Its more about how good you look not depending on is it trendy. I feel this way because so many small brands are on the rise and they have a different look.

[@sneakers_guy5488]

To respond to your question about why certain sneakers fall off so quickly while others like the Jordan 1 and 4 stay relevant, I think it comes down to which sneakers the sneakers community actually supports and think are cool. The New Balance 550s seem like more of a mainstream fashion trend that the casuals (people who don't follow sneakers or fashion all that much) caught on to. The same thing will happen to the Sambas to some degree. They'll have their peak and then decline which will leave true fans or people who play footy as the ones who keep wearing them past their trend peak. At least, that's my opinion, I may be wrong though:P

[@LeroyCReed]

I just ordered Berk Boston Dupes, so I'm late to the trend. I usually don't follow trends, but these finally grew on me.

[@saddsapphic]

"Gotta keep a birk on me at all times" Drew 🤝 WLW A true ally🫡🏳️‍🌈

[@cashmsc]

idk how in or out of trend the bostons are, the dior birk collab will forever be one of the coolest fashion link ups

[@Ed44503]

Bostons are so comfy and convenient I’m still going to wear mine

[@cubone44]

0:20 Or option three! Celebrate that all the cool items I want will flood the second hand market/ go on sale!

[@170AndBeyond]

I bought my first pair of Boston’s in years (they were huge in my high school circa 2005-2007.) and I still love them but I actually am finding myself more drawn to the London model. Going to order a pair soon. They quite literally look like a moccasin version of the Boston. Weird that the silhouette didn’t catch on as much. Either way as new balance are my primary sneakers I love having birks as an option to throw on if I want to go a little more minimal. Some of my favorite outfits are the uber minimal ones.

[@jnee112]

Bostons’ will be forever in. Let the trend with the trend kids die though

[@JamesLeung]

I thought the FOG x Birkenstock collab was going to cause another rush for Bostons especially in the taupe colourway, but that didn't seem to happen. Here in the UK there are FOG x Birks sitting everywhere! Also agree with your comments on the 550. And I think next year we will be saying the exact same thing about the Sambas! People just get sick of seeing them and then start to hate them.

[@zakkz9453]

I think mohair trend start when a lot of hand-made brand specially hand-knitted or crochet made hats and outfits with mohair yarns(example brand is Nong Rak, which specify hand-knitted mohair garments) and mohair is itchy when you wash and take care them wrong, mohair usually need to hand-wash with Shampoo and Hair conditioner or a mild laundry detergent and if you want to iron it, instead steam it.

[@humbleguy-f5e]

i think I can answer the Jordan 1 and Jordan 4 timelessness question and rebuttal it with another example. Chucks, Chuck freakin' Taylors man; they've always been in style no matter what. It's a classic silhouette you have other companies constantly trying to copy it (and they do) but nothing comes close to the original Converse. Same thing with the Jordan 1's and 4's they're huge, they have a very distinct silhouette endless color options so the possibilities are endless. The thing about these three shoes is that they're also versatile and tend to end up in a lot of Capsule Wardrobes because you can pretty much match Chucks, 1's and 4's with any outfit, even freakin' suits.

[@klashmar13]

Mohair might feel dead because its summer. It will be back and beautiful in winter. Mohair is made from goats and some ppl find it itchy its best to layer and wear something underneath. True real mohair is s bit more subtle than those “trendy” pieces it just adds a halo to the piece and its gorgeous!

[@brendannelson525]

Birks will stay as timeless, they’ll just fall out of “style” like how Jordan 1 and chucks are timeless but go in and out of “style”

[@jkoizora]

i will always have a soft spot for the 550s, I believe it is a timelesss silhouette. However, the GRs really killed it. Hopefully, with Teddy Santis heading NB he might be able to turn the 550s around which can achieve true timelesssness with the correct choices of materials, color combination and placements, and product positioning.

[@iamel8ed]

Comfort, sir, will NEVER be out of style. I will be rocking my Birks all 2023, 2024... And the dupes do not match the comfort and quality of authentic Birks. I tried it - I returned it.

[@franzpants6655]

bostons still a daily staple for me. Esp cause i live in a tropical country and going in business meetings with them to have a casual flavor is a nice touch.

[@daisyeva8447]

#pvv I love the clarks wallabees at the minute but everyone I've spoken to about them thinks their ugly lol, I think they make casual outfits look so much more put together and add a sense of formality to them which I love, I also LOVE all the different colours, defintely top of my wish list at the minute

[@Drownedinblood]

Wool garments are just a pain to deal with to keep clean and with patterns you'd probably have to make sure all the hairs align properly. Also to deal with wool itch, gotta line it with something or wear a shirt under. I assume mohair got popular cuz it gave texture to flatness. Imo it's like a fashion ghille/hunting suit and am waiting for the realtree 3d camo or something to become more mainstream lol.

[@andrewjpalla]

The way sneakers come and go is wild. I feel like shoes used to be “in” for a year or two before, but now there’s like a 6 - 10 month cycle where everyone talks about it, then suddenly interest drops off a cliff.

[@nadiam926]

The trend of Birkenstock boston might be over, but theyll forever remain a classic. As for mohair, i didnt realise it was a trend, but i do have mohair yarn and planned to knit a top out of it 😂 .

[@modavoga]

I love that I have the birks and a mohair sweater. To be fair I mainly use birks as a practical shoe and my acne mohair sweater I’ve owned for 4 years now, still love it (and is cold where I live) but the candy stripe of mine definitely means it’s not that timeless.

[@annalisavolcan4018]

I will never stop wearing Bostons tbh- way too comfy and feeding into my gardening fantasies. They’ve been going strong for 4-5 years and i love em

[@memezrus6171]

I went to nyc last week , all I saw were Bostons and 550s. I really think that they are still sick shoes and will always be there!

[@beanienclogs]

Honestly I feel like social media really skews how we see these trends bc I thought 550s had died and then started looking for them at school (being a senior in hs) and I'm realizing that people outside of instagram and tiktok are just now getting onto these trends and it reminds me hella of the internet explorer news memes idk. Then again my ex girlfriend just got a pair of duped Amazon birks so you're prob onto something w that. Also #pvv honestly I've started to just fall into my own little hole for fashion and it's a nasty blend of old money and streetwear but I'm loving it so we ball

[@m7atthew]

everyone is just so chronically online, you'd swear that arcteryx is over worn and a dying trend but when you go outside you wouldn't see a single person wearing it. We live in an age that we believe what is online is our own reality but honestly we shouldn't care. If you've been inspired by an online trend and you like an item, then wear it. If you have an item of clothing that you like, wear it no matter it's current online trend. This is in no way a shot at drew, he's simply made a video about online trends that are dying and he's 100% right with all of them, love the videos.

[@Makironee]

from someone who doesnt own the birkenstock mule things, living in a tropical country and summer rolling in, socks and the sandals feel a bit hot and sweaty for me/us, maybe back then it was popular cause of fall/winter/spring and back then we were dominantly indoors. walking here with the high chance of rain or puddles, seeing your socks get wet is not a viable option

[@jcheungtv]

I also think TikTok and social media has shortened our attention span so much that we quickly get old of certain trends. Also that mohair joke outta pocket bro 😂

[@yvesklein5414]

dig your content! Mohair was very popular when I was a kid. it peaked about 1967 and I stopped wearing my chartreuse real mohair V-neck. Wow was it warm. but they will come back...

[@brevenlangley5726]

I’m cool headed into the rest of my life wearing athleisure. You can dress it up, dress it down, anything thats synthetic and breathable and stretches. I use to be hella into fashion in the sense of trying new things just to see how you can sauce it. But after a while I realized throwing on layers or cottons and all that heavy and uncomfortable clothing was just not worth it. And athleisure is just way more practicle and clean looking. No I ain’t talking bout a nike techfleece or tracksuits at all. I’m just talkin active oriented clothing. Polyesters, synthetics.

[@warren9583]

I've wanted the bostons as long as they've been popular, and decided that I have a reason to get them (no sandals, mules or slip-ons but I live by the beach). I decided to wait to get them for cheaper until after the trend was over, and I'm excited now.

[@gracieb1343]

I don’t think Birkenstocks are out at all. I think certain styles will be considered less cool due to over saturation. However with Birkenstocks being a major fashion and plot point in Barbie this summer there is and will continue to be a second wave of cultural relevance. Birkenstock has started doing more colored shoes and I think that and platform birks will be the new cool version for the fall.

[@kaego.s]

#pvv I am going through this insane cardigan phase. I really love how you paired your CMIYGL tee with the brown. It really reminded me of how Tyler has been a huge influence in my cardigan craze. My mom never understood why he (Tyler) could be a style icon for me (as a woman) but I always beg her to get the grannies she works with to set up a crocheting/knitting tutorial for me. Cardigans feel like warm hugs honestly. I love the occasional compliment I get whenever I wear one too :)

[@thechancellor842]

I don’t do trends I wear what I like which includes the birks and 550.

[@barbaragillett9904]

Totally agree with you thanks for sharing love your videos ❤🙏👏🇬🇧

[@carloronce1967]

I agree that the 550 has run its course due to the amount of releases by NB but still love mine and was one of the models that made me switch brands and found a community of NB-heads that are super cool. It will always be a staple in my collection as it marked a notable change in my preferences as a sneaker enthusiast. PS.. the side profile of the shoe still gets me every time.

[@johnwiebe4163]

#pvv really enjoying accessories rn as summer is so hard to work with layering wise! Rings, necklaces and sunnies ftw

[@simbabuu2724]

Ive been watching your videos for a while and i love them! I just wanted to comment on your statements „at least in america when you wear a clean 550 youd still be more fashionable than the great majority of people“ because i think this goes for every other country as well. I feel like people have this image of europeans or asians to be insanely fashionable and stylish but tbh? Most people just dress very average in a sweater and jeans. Yes there are fashion mekkas such as Paris or London but even there most people dress very normal :) ive been to various european cities and thats what ive seen so far (im german myself).

[@PlywoodFraternity]

I just crossed the 10 year anniversary on my Berks. I bought them even before the boom and I will wear them till they fall apart. The Boston silhouette feels so timeless that the fact that it even became a “trend” is silly to me. To me it’s be like three piece suits becoming a “trend.”

[@JohnDoe-vc5qb]

As someone who grew up with Birks and Sambas since I can remmeber cus my parent's are relatively preppy, it's been so weird to see them out and about in vogue. Same way I felt when I realized both Crocs and Salomon's were back. I literally wore Salomon's in grade school beccause I couldn't stand wearing snow boots. People are truly unoriginal it seems.

[@chuckielong1]

Birks will forever live on.....I've been wearing arizona forever way before the boston got hype, it put me onto another style of their and I love them still.

PVV: I don’t really have any trends, but cargo pants I’ve worn forever but it’s cool to see them trending.

2:07 But the quality isn't the same. Birkenstock's midsole have true fully cork inside. Cheaper ones only have a lil layer of cork on the edge. That's why the gap of the price, also made in Germany

I don't care if they're a dead trend, the 550s are some of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn and I want another pair

Hey Drew! Speaking of the bostons, how are the Boston Bolds holding up? Have they developed a luster or a patina to them yet?

[@sparshtiwari5868]

Tbh it can be super hard to find a pair of taupe birks, might be a challenge just to find

[@sonofagun5000]

cant seem to find any suede birks from where i live. they may be dead but they look mad comfy

[@Makironee]

the mohair trend i feel has started in the rise of crochet pieces, from crochet tok and a bit of a crocheter the bolero/sleeve trend has gotten a huge uprising for layering outfits and have subversive basics. Mohair is a type of yarn used in creating interesting types of boleros and other crochet items and coming from a third world country trying to find it has been pretty pricy and see little to none at all.

550’s died too quick, don’t blame NB for over saturating them

[@SHDW-sy7oz]

a vintage mohair cardigan in a good color is a grail and a staple tho

[@Antonio-nk5mx]

Suede killed the Birkenstock Bostons. I still love my leather ones though and how they look when they are completely beaten down (I’ve been wearing them for 5 years now)

[@antonthedering4778]

What Overshirt is this, looking really great with the stitching lines.

[@marcozarate8]

drew is back!!!

[@hugonrremark2040]

I mean i would agree on the 550 100% but the birk Boston is still a hitter in Denmark because trends come later over here.

drew i'd love to know your thoughts on the dickies double knee loose fit pants, i just got some because i was inspired by your suggestion of the dickies 874s but wanted to try something a little different. this purchase was the most i've spent on a pair of pants; all of my pants are second hand tho so this is the first pair of new pants i've bought and i'm loving the fact that they fit my waist without a belt, it feels like a real luxury

[@piko555]

the color of the pants is lowkey majestic

[@everr.r]
