@orlylow:

it's for the new abercrombie & fitch flagship store here in singapore. decent pay and really flexible schedule so i'm in for the job.

The real bonus to working at A&F is the mass amount co-ed of wool you can slay!

[Chris]

Now this is cool.
@MastersOfDeath:

…and then everything started to turn blue...

orlylow- congrats on getting the job.  I hope you'll enjoy it.  Working retail sales is an experience I think everyone should have, along with working in restaurants.  You get to see the best, worst and flat out weirdest behavior ever.

[orlylow]

I definitely will…

looking forward to having a feel of their jeans too. about 270usd?

Have to say that I'm with Chris on this one. I was raised on a steady diet of Jordans, Air Max and AF1's, so I never saw the point in CT's as they just felt uncomfortable to me, and I did try.

My go to footwear is a steady pair of Wolverines or Abingtons for day to day, and Jordans or the like if I'm feeling sneakers.

My 2 cents.

@Chris:

I also really dislike moc toes on boots.

So did I until i got my OSB's and Russells…...

[Chris]

What about them changed your mind?  Was it the comfort of the extra room in the toe box, or something else?

[Giles]

I guess the super comfiness.  I think it is the Moc construction that makes them super comfortable and the moc toe is just a  necessary side effect of the construction method.

So just came across some info about this line.

Apparently it'll have a US release in the spring, but it's already out in Japan.

They feature a Vibram sole and more premium aspects to the shoe.

Here's a couple of images I've come across.

anoutcommune.com in Japan seems to have them in stock for ~$210 US, but not many sizes.

They are enough to get me excited about this release, figured someone here may be interested.

Cheers,

Jesse

maroon is great

[Jesselirola]

@Beatle:

maroon is great

Beatle - can you get those in Germany?

I really want a pair, I emailed the people @ Rakuten, but communication is far from great.

I'd love some Vibram Chucks!

They look to be much more comfortable all the way around!

I want a pair of Black High's and a pair of White OX lows.

anyone on this forum in Japan want to grab me a couple pairs? I'd happily send something that's not available in JP from the states!

Cheers,

Jesse

[Jesselirola]

whose on this forum thats in Japan and wouldn't mind buying me a couple pairs?

I'd be happy to return the favor and buy something here in exchange for the favor as well as paypall'n the money?

thanks!!

so, i had a chance to get these & i flaked.  wish i did now 

how is your hunt going lirola?

[Jesselirola]

no such luck, i'm not trying to spend 450 on ebay, but they're not even in size 13 on there - so there goes a 5 am post edit impulse buy option. hahah.

you got any thoughts / leads?

i want a black and i want a white, i'd probably pass on the camo's too!

i have a bunch of friends over @ nike, and some friends who run the converse rubber tracks studio in nyc, so i'll figure something out in january.

cheers

i'll do that when i get cash in hand.  what they asking per pair, or does it depend on model?

[Jesselirola]

it's ~210ish.

not too shabby, but its a matter of catching them when the stock comes in as they don't have it around for long.

Just ordered these

Anybody else had a problem with the outer layer of rubber separating from the shoe? Any fixes? Superglue?

Typical issue with chucks over time. Use shoe goo or whatever. I just rip the rubber off personally. Chucks look better when they are beat to shit anyways. Considering the cost, if you are unhappy just buy a new pair.
