Radiall Chick Gripper 'Tribe' - Bought these directly from Japan a while ago. While I'm not crazy about the pattern (Radiall also did a matching shirt!) in terms of construction and the overall shape/silhouette they're definitely some of my favourite hi-tops which is mostly what I wear. I saw a used pair of these online recently in a plain Burgundy throughout and am currently on the hunt for a pair in my size
-
Those are awesome, Ben! I didn't know that Radiall made high tops. How's the construction compared to a Converse Chuck Taylor 70s?

@Paul9221 I've been really impressed with the construction personally. Mostly I'm wearing All Star hi Made in Japan these days and haven't had 70's in a while so I struggle to remember how long my last pair lasted! But these Radiall's were already second hand when I got them maybe 6 months or a year ago and have been worn quite a bit - they're still holding up really well
-
@Ben - I'm gonna need Sonders to start stocking these STAT! These are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I love the Possessive Collabs - are these make my someone else to Radiall's specs?
-
@Ben ok cool, so probably Moonstar? lol
they do look similar in silhouette to the Lofgren hi tops Self Edge did a few years ago..
-
@Appfaff I actually had those in the Ecru colourway they did (I think you mean the ones that had the 'Self Edge' logo in a really funky font on the side). I'd say the canvas on these feels a bit thicker/stiffer than it was on my Self Edge Lofgren's and the sole seems a bit thicker too. I sold my Self Edge's on but wish I'd kept them now!
-
good insight @Ben - I appreciate it very much!
-
Moonstar all weathers
-
I’ve been wearing the Black Kim Jones 70s for a few months now, but finally broke out the Ecru.
REALLY liking these!

Nice looking shoes–-are those uppers suede or canvas? They look clean:)
-
Thanks Dino - they are canvas with a clear polyurethane coating over about 65% of the uppers.

@LewisStonehouse those are so awesome. I know they would be too narrow on me. But I had my eye on that same pair before. Very nice.

I might have to take a look at their site and see what they have..thanks @Appfaff

@Filthy cheers dude, I like them a lot but must admit they're not the comfiest for a long day of walking around

That's a shame.
