Sneakers

@IronMan It’s not an issue of money at all. Nor is it about bikers.
I’m just saying that you may not get much of a response because the clothing you’re referencing and sneakers you ask about aren’t typically discussed here. I may be wrong and there may be others who appreciate that kind of thing but my feeling is there are at best only a few. Please feel free to ask these things and continue to do so by all means, but don’t be surprised if you get a limited response.
I think it is great that you’re combining IH and Samurai with continental fashion labels. Sounds exciting and makes me think of how there’s a lot of combining of Japanese denim with refined streetwear going on in NYC these days. Maybe you’ll inspire others here to do the same.
TFH stands for “The Flat Head”. They have made sneakers in the past but probably not so much now. The other brands I mention will reveal themselves easily with a bit of googling. Good luck!

And i replace my question, anyone any experience on these?

some of the brands that neph mentioned are great quality sneakers. common projects being one of them similar to the link that you mentioned. i have no experience with those so i can't attest to their quality at all. but if you're looking for a similar shoe. maybe also have a looking into maison margiela's replica range.
also, many brands do the same replica shoe (as they're known) adidas has their gazelles or van's old skool has a somewhat similar silhouette.

Anyone remember Simple from the early 90s? Got a pair today out of nostalgia and ultimately, comfort. They have a memory foam insole. So comfy straight out the box…

Yeah great memories. I used to skate in these. Where did you get it from if you mind me asking?

I’ve been interested in picking up a pair for a while but am unsure how to size. How would you say they fit?

@Shoreman I have a UK 9, and UK 9s in Vans and 70s Cons. They fit roughly the same, if anything they run a little smaller (but not half a size or anything). I've been wearing mine all day today and damn they are the most comfortable sneakers I've owned in years.
The toebox is a smidge wider than vans and cons, which is great if you walk a lot as foot spread can be a killer in narrow shoes. I'm already convinced I'm getting another pair soon!

Thanks for the detailed response, @Stuart.T
I think I’ll try going with my regular sneaker size. -
Grabbed a bargain and snagged these sneakers a while ago. They're the No. 288 Bleeker in Natural. Completely leather lined, with a leather exterior and Made in Portugal. Extremely comfortable to wear. Their MSRP was ridiculously high but I payed only 10% of their original price for a brand new pair so a pretty nice deal.

I almost drowned them in Obenauf's Leather Oil trying to darken them but the exterior stayed the same only developing some weird marks. The leather interior darkened very nicely though and they've become very soft and comfortable. They used to bless me with blisters after some wear but now they're extremely comfortable and supple. I also swapped the laces and this is how they look after some on/off wear now. Love them!

Been looking around for some low-top sneaks like converse or vans that DON'T split where my foot bends. Does the vulcanized sole of some brands like Pottery and Moonster solve this issue?
-
Not sure what you're asking. You have a picture?
-
new balance x red wing. couldn't be any better. best of both worlds for me!
-
Was looking at them. But price tag seemed steep. They look nice there.

They are looking good [emoji106]
Are they a new release?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like them too but am afraid to look for a price
-
they're USD250. which for a pair of made in america NBs are pretty standard plus the fact that it is a red wing collab (regardless of what their input is) Converting them to AUD at the current rate however, is the major killer.
way back when, red wings was my first foray into raw denim and boots and new balance was one of the first few sneaker brands i liked. back then, it seem almost impossible to mix the rugged look with sneakers much less these two brands coming together. seeing the news release, i knew i had to jump on them immediately..
