      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?

            @Appfaff I don't have too much in depth knowledge about them although the Made in Japan/Size stamp on the tongue is very similar in appearance to many other canvas hi tops from Japan I've seen over the years across multiple brands.

              @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!

                          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.

                                            @dinobarnesberlin - they sold out immediately on Converse and Nike, but boutiques still have some stock.

                                            These guys have some larger sizes. I went true with my normal Chuck 70s sizing. https://sneakerpolitics.com/collections/converse/products/kim-jones-x-converse-chuck-70-natural-ivory
