I like them, but I don't wear them with all the other gay stuff, also if you buy a pair, they give one pair to an African
 
I think they look alright like, would go canny with a pair of combat shorts.

Also, very clever marketing with giving a pair away to needy kids, very clever indeed.
 
Fuckin hell the country is splitting into 2 factions - scratters or gayers, glad I'm too old for that shit.
 
I go to college in Darlington and it seems to me that most of the people from Darlington have a shit fashion sense, we call the people who dress up in gay clothes the trendy's. We f***ing hate them, they all think they are popular and cool but they arnt, theyre dickheads. The average trendy usually wear toms or plimsoles which have straw on the bottom of them, chinos and a low neck scoop t shirt or they wear them cuffed jeans.
 
Well i'm 25 and well into clothes and that, so i guess i am part of this 'generation.'

Its just fashion by numbers. Theres nothing individual about it. Where as in the past you have trends influenced by peoples lifestyles and interests (i.e punks, mods, casuals etc), nowadays, the major fashion trends are a product of Topman and the likes basically telling folk what to where, with no actual substance behind the trend.

to be fair there is substance behind the trend. Lets not forget that topman and the like are only mass producing what the top fashion houses are doing and selling it at mass produced high street price. The people at top man are only young designers who are ripping of the real fashion talent such as dries, Raf or Margiela.

The only real reason for lack of individuality is unfortunately the north east has a stigma of calling people who chose not to dress with the conformists. The ammount of times iv had grief up here for an item of clothing iv worn is unbeliavable yet in say london or Paris no one batts an eylid.

A good contribution to the thread that mate.

Still looks like an utter weapon like.
