generic man: naval white canvas shoes

in a world of brands it pays to be a generic man. shoes from the generic man, naval white canvas with lusciously soft leather interior, and the casual summer in indigo blue, with white leather laces. zero branding on the outside and detailed craftsmanship make these just that much more special. designed by ex generic costume designer kevin carney. check out the website or his store which we wrote about earlier in silver lake los angeles: mohawk shop general store. by dd

the white whale: super simple high-tops by pro keds




i’ve been a fan of air force ones for some time and own a few. but i came across these the other day and had to get them. super simple, un-flashy, almost generic… not even the red and blue keds lines on the sides, its more like a simple sketch of what a high top is. just the way i like them. by dd

terence koh loves and loved by converse




this may not be new news, as i believe these special edition all-white-leather hightop all stars from converse by terence koh came out in march, but i still had to share. a minimalist rendition of the classic. shoes feature a square back, seamless edges, super smoothed body, and crisp leather laces. a percentage of the purchase is contributed to the 1hund(red) campaign to fight aids in africa. and only $150, and only available in white. oh right, and if you want, you can order them here. by kl
