Colette x Le Coq Sportif - Arthur Ashe: That Premium Feeling

I once heard somebody say in a movie: "Get him out of those sneakers and have him dressed like a gentleman."

And I went, "IH BANGET SIH LAU!"

Obviously the scriptwriter has never seen luxury kicks that comes with their own shoe trees.  Like this one.

You bet my fine ass that's woven leather. ALL OVER. Mewah much?  Yes indeed.

French sneaker brand Le Coq Sportif collaborates with French retailer Colette and came up with a tribute collection for legendary tennis player, Arthur Ashe.  Akan keluar dalam dua warna: blue-white woven leather (shown above) and an all-white leather classic.  Ini mah gila banget karena yang dipakai adalah full-grain leather dari Roux Tanneries, supplier kulit ngetop buat merk-merk ternama.  Itu baru ngomongin sepatunya.  Check out the ultra-premium wooden box packaging.

Yep, it includes a shoetree so the shoes stay in shape, Romans-sur-Isère leather cream and tentunya cloth buat elap-elap kalo sepokat kotor. (((ELAP ELAP)))

Merasa miskin sebelum tau harganya? You bet.  Udahlah mending latihan dulu bahasa Perancis sebelum beli, biar gak kampring-kampring amat.  Nih pelajaran pertama:

Oeuf a la coque avec du sel.

Kalo udah tau artinya, kabar-kabari ya :p

Vans Spring/Summer 2015 Leather Slip-On Pack: LAAAAAFF!

Some of us might get rada jijay pake slip-on shoes, apalagi gak pake kaos kaki.  But let me ask you this, boys and girls:

VVVHHHYY?

Yeah ok pake kaos kaki would look silly, but isn't this what ankle socks are made for? Wait, on second thought, forget it... don't wear socks when donning slip-ons. Really? Still not convinced?

I mean come on, from the era of kung-fu shoes, slip-ons have never lost their cool factor.  They're iconic and they're easy to wear on those lazy days.  You know how it is with us hipsters stylish people: we wanna look cool but effortless.  Thus the Vans iconic slip-ons!  The newest leather versions of these cool ass shoes lined up calling ME to buy them.  I mean just check out what I found on HighSnobiety. Pingsan gak sih!

For somebody who hates reptiles so much, my eyes are so fixated on the maroon croco. Salahkah jika di kepala ini terngiang lagu: SEPATU DARI KULIT RUSA... ITU AKU TAK MINTAAAAA... TAS HITAM KULIT BUAYA, ITU JUGA KU TAK MINTA... Nyet salahhhh! Patunya yang kulit buayakkk!! *ngakak*

Well anyway, if you LOVE with these slip-ons as much as I do... check them out at Vans.com and pray hard for them to penetrate Indonesian stores because as far as slip-ons are concerned... the choice is freakishly limited even at the Vans flagship store in Indonesia.  What's up with that, Vans? Masa eke kudu PO via seller Instagram mulu? Gak seru ah.
