      Taking it in a slightly different direction, this year I have started to think by category. Like the record nerds in High Fidelity, I like to give headings, and categorise under these headings, selecting my favourite, or most necessary, item under each heading. So I end up with…..

      Cap - IHWBC
      Jacket - IHD-01od
      Coat - IHM-01
      Smart(ish) Jacket - IHW-01 (grey)
      Shirt (very casual) - IHSH-33
      Shirt (going out casual) - IHSH-59
      Tee's - IHFT-2012 (indigo), IHFT - 2011 (white)
      Jeans - IH-634s
      Shoes - Whites Oxfords
      Boots - Whites SD
      Sneakers - Bathing Ape Skull Sta's (Best sneakers ever!!!)
      Pants - Batman, Superman, Justice League
      Socks - Uniqlo
      Pyjamas - Batman, Superman

      Leave me with this kit, and I'm good to go anywhere  🙂

        Hmmm interesting as i do love those and own a pair from the first run, but as good as a pair of SS Vin? I say not.

          Mine are also OG, and they've been on many many travels and adventures with me through three continents, and have never let me down. I bought them from the old Bape store in Osaka 6 years ago, and I have beat the shit out of them more than any other sneakers I have ever owned, nothing that Nike or Adidas have ever shown me can touch them for pure resilience, they are simply great.

          What is an SS Vin?

              So are yours the pair with the huge tab on the side? As mine are not those but the ones without that feature from their first showing.

              SS Vin are what the Ape's homage dear sir


              Superstar Vintage 🙂

                Mine are the release after the tabbed version, which I think were a Wtaps collab for the MOUT exhibition in 2005/6. I did have a pair of those, in the demi boot variety, but I sold them long ago. Mine are plain, simple black.

                I used to SS many years ago, I just found that the Bapes were better consturcted. That is, however, speaking from my own personal experience, so not necessarily correct. Either way, they're a great looking shoe.

                    Same as mine then only i went for the white. Must have been 'a' or few possibly? bad apple(s) you got as Shelltoes are universally well known for their abilty to soak up punishment and you can't have that if your not well made.
