Speeed’s take
His proof that buy-it-for-life applies to vibes as much as stitching: over ten years of wear and still nothing to be embarrassed about, the footwear equivalent of an old car whose jury is already in.
“A nice pair of white canvas shoes suggests that you're having a good summer no matter what month it is. White canvas shoes are simultaneously old money aesthetic and punk rock aesthetic. They are the great unifier.”
“Now, I know my car heart jacket, a good pair of chinos, and my Vans Authentics are going to stand the test of time because they already have.”
“My summer shoe rotation is Vans Authentics in various colors, Sperry Top-Siders boat shoes, G.H. Bass Weejuns loafers, New Balance 574.”
