My 2 cents.
I've known Adrian since he was a young pup in the DBNT thread. He used to ask me questions all the time about shoes and suits. He continued to teach himself on different aesthetics and history of fashion. His interest continued to evolve. He used to say that he can't see himself dropping $$$ on sneakers, and eventually went on to cop quite a few lux pairs. At this point, he's probably the most enthusiast one in the thread. This is the guy that would relocate tomorrow to Paris to work for a major fashion house. I have no doubt that he would eventually make the jump from accounting to be on the creative side sooner or later at a fashion house.
He may talk like he has a chip on his shoulders because he's only 23, and comes off rude at times. And he's probably the only one who does things on both sides, the menswear and streetwear. This is why he gets 'aimed at a lot'. But also...it's NT...typical slick comments are common.
Truth be told, his sense in fashion is pretty dope. But it's something that the fashion crowd would be only able to appreciate. I showed the picture of the stacked denim and Chelsea boots to my girl, and she thought it was a picture of a girl. Like most hobbies/interests, when you're really into it, the average person can't really appreciate it. Cars used to be a big interest of mine, still is but not really into modding anymore. When I see a nicely done car, be it aggressive stance on high quality wheels or whatever...I would point it out to my friends who aren't into cars, and they would say 'it's a nice BMW I guess" because they aren't into it. The same is true for sneakers, music, etc. If you post pictures of 'heat' kicks, the entire retro and Jordan sections would probably go nuts, but to a random person...it's just a pair of sneakers.

Some good deals right now on Barneyswarehouse.
I'm not the biggest fan of his music, but I love this varsity. Price is really good too. If I didn't have a varsity already, I'd cop in a heartbeat. Still semi tempted actually. Love the red and blue colors on black, reminds me of a cover of a game or movie poster from the 80s and 90s.

If you want some jeans with excessive taper, these are great: https://www.barneyswarehouse.com/search?q=naked famous stacked
I personally love the fit. Rise is a bit high so it creates a slight sag. Thigh area is loose enough to house items in. If you have the Skinny Guy, size one down. If you have the J. Crew 484, go with the same size.
I'm 5'10" at 160-165 lbs, true waist is 32" (that's a measuring tape around the belly button all around), shoot 3s and play no defense, I take a 32" in Skinny Guy, and I take a 31" in these and J. Crew 484. Could've gone with a size 32 too, but would be too loose around the waist, but other areas are fine.

Chelsea boots don't require super skinny jeans. It can look pretty good with looser fitting jeans.
No need to straight copy the whole SL look.

These are the types of posts I enjoy.
Always coming through with some dope deals.
Not 10 pages of why some of you cats enjoy heels.
I'm kinda feeling this varsity. Would've been an instant cop if it just had the K on the front. Not sure I'm feeling Kavinsky written on the back.
I did see your chelseas post and two of the pics were cool. I'm not even going to hate on the whole trend though. Some things just aren't part of my aesthetic and Chelsea heels is one of them. Yall dudes keep flourishing.

Lmaooo mannnnn last thing I am is one to beat around the bush with A and he knows it, but I WAS generally speaking because he's not the only one....we got a handful of NTers that been Ye-staning heavy....however that's not an insult, I've always though Ye to be a great fashion influence for the most part....is when dudes start acting as if they are better than to be influenced by Ye that I have to be like STOP IT FOOL.
A has owned his Ye-Stanin plenty...lol

See this is silly.
Ye not responsible for bringing Chelsea's mainstream?....Ye not responsible for JP owning a pair of Chelsea's up until a month ago?...hell even I'm intrigued and been considering coppin a pair to rock with some light washed jeans...I blame Ye....but I have hot toys to purchase.
Dude talmbout The Beattles....lol....yes they been on Chelsea's and is safe to say Kanye is heavily influenced by them, that era and even British fashion nowadays...
He didn't make them a staple, but the man gave them a big spike in popularity in the recent months...dude is Midas when it comes to fashion, some of you guys HATE to admit it

in terms of the thread or just the regulars?Y'all ever stop and wonder why most arguments in this thread revolve around Adrian?
in terms of the thread, i assume its bc he's been the most open in terms of posting photos.
in terms of the regulars, elkin and adrian have an ongoing beef.
they actually got into a fight at that 4th of july bbq.
