the branding is the best part and Kappa is a old stalwart of the athletics game. the aesthetic will definitely be out soon, who knows how long before it comes back. Kappa was also big in football/Italian football in the 90s which is another cool factor.

the two-tone color with the bold side stripe has been catching my eye.

chrondog wrote:yup, this thread is the place for throwing out ideas and seeing how they stick. that's how i feel about fashion anyway. for example, i appreciated your negativity on my Janoski slip-on Nike's a few months back. it's good to hear an alternate view. fashion is, after all, about what other people think of what you're wearing. that being said, i fucking love those Janoski's now.

i oscillate pretty wildly on overt branding. i have shied away from overt branding (except for a couple brands) for years and years, but it's put me in a place where i have a ton of very utilitarian pieces in similar neutral colors. i'm seeking out more adventurous colorways and branded products these days. for example, i like a lot of the branded industrial-style belts i see recently: https://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/08/23/off-white-industrial-belt-video/

i'm not going to get Off-White because it's overpriced hypebeast stuff, but similar stuff is on my radar.

C-poots wrote:That all makes sense, and I'm not sure why I'm so so averse to visible branding of any kind, but I am. Its the reason I typically wont buy Vans or Levi's or Adidas for example, simply because I don't like people to know what brand I'm wearing. But it does lead to me shelling out more money on clothes than I might otherwise like to because I don't like cheap fast-fashion and so many of the brands in that sweet middle are either very brand-heavy "hypebeast" stuff, priced much higher than their quality warrants, or are really utilitarian neutral colored pieces which I too already have enough of.
