[QUOTE=BassB;30550243]i've seen so many ruined samba's that a part of me has started to think they sell like that.[/QUOTE] The leather is shitty yeah. But I love them, they're just so good since I don't need to give a shit about whenther the shoe fits my outfit when I leave the house.
I'm kind of a chubby kid (160 pounds, 5'8"). I'm going to start working out and get slimmer, but I'd like to look fashionable on the way there. Is it even possible for a chub to look decent?
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;30549996]Am I the only one who like to keep his rubber white?[/QUOTE] Depends really. I dunno I like the look of them fresh, but I like how they look worn in. It's pretty much impossible for me to keep them clean though.
Looking for good, stylish, not too pricey collared shirts. I'm not interested in purchasing online, so retailers is the only way to go for me.

Wow, Old Navy has a ton of nice looking polos that are very cheap. Perfect!

Wear a decent hat, and some kicks that really stand out, and you should be able to look acceptable. Pics would help a bit.

No where near as bad as it could be. First off, I'd get some looser fitting pants. You're not ready to show off dem legs just yet. Like I said earlier, button down shirt, wear a tight fitting undershirt to help with those moobs. Killer shoes and a great hat will shoot your confidence through the roof, and confidence is one of the most important parts of attractiveness. Stay away from really bright colors like yellow or turquoise and you should be looking good.

[QUOTE=danielplazzy;30551367]Around 5'8" or 5'9". [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] What kind of shoes/hats?[/QUOTE] Really, it depends on the color of the outfit, but take a look at nike for shoes. Can't go wrong with a pair of Griffeys, or Airmax for that matter. I can't really help much with the hats, but I saw some EXCELLENT Adidas hats in Lids the other days.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;30546245]How well do they hold up, I want to get them.[/QUOTE] Pretty good.

Same design though.[/QUOTE] These are some the worst shoes ...
[QUOTE=mzathemind;30551783]Pretty good. [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] These are some the worst shoes ...[/QUOTE] I literally cannot think of a situation to wear those.
[QUOTE=fskman;30549453]Is it just me, or do their hats look horrible? My friends all swear by it, but the hats with "POLO" on the back look like they came out of a dollar store.

[QUOTE=mzathemind;30551991]You look like a white boy no offence. I always feel black dudes that don't have some sense of urban ness just kinda looks comical.[/QUOTE] I get that alot. My friends say I act and speak like I'm white, and I can't help it since I grew up in the most suburbiest city I know of, Alexandria.
[QUOTE=mzathemind;30551783]Pretty good. [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] These are some the worst shoes ...[/QUOTE] They're not the prettiest, but believe me. I have to be on my feet for hours at a time, and these are the only shoes that have given me any relief.
[QUOTE=Lebowski;30552073]They're not the prettiest, but believe me. I have to be on my feet for hours at a time, and these are the only shoes that have given me any relief.[/QUOTE] Okay, I'd wear the brown ones to for working, but they're still buttugly.
[QUOTE=fskman;30552119]Okay, I'd wear the brown ones to for working, but they're still buttugly.[/QUOTE] The pair I have don't have as bright a tone of leather and no pattern. Makes a rather big difference in the appearance when you wear some regular jeans. The black ones look fine from the top-down, but from the side they're pretty bad. I had to have a pair of black shoes though for my uniform, and the orthopedic quality fit the bill. Believe me, I wouldn't wear the black ones to anything formal what so ever. The brown ones are fine as a sort of work shoe.

I'm still a bit chubby but I can pull off clothes because I don't my fat doesn't hang down. If this makes sense.
[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;30552306]Work out and tighten your muscles. I'm still a bit chubby but I can pull off clothes because I don't my fat doesn't hang down. If this makes sense.[/QUOTE] That's a great tip in general. Guys, it's summertime. No matter how funky your hair, how crippled your swag is, if you start working out and firm up enough to have visible cuts, you will rock the SHIT out of a wifebeater or just going shirtless.
I have to start running on a regular, I want to be healthy.

[QUOTE=MachiniOs;30547234]So I heard American Apparel is pretty cheap in North America. Seriously fuck them a Salt and Pepper hoodie costs 40 quid here.[/QUOTE] my salt and pepper hoodie ran me $62 CAD (taxes in) the plain ones are a few bucks cheaper. [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=mzathemind;30552858]I have to start running on a regular, I want to be healthy.[/QUOTE] i started running about two months ago, lost 15 pounds so far. Started going to the gym today. Feelsgoodman.jpg i still probably have another 10-15 pounds before I'll be happy though. (6'3", 210)
Alright, I'm a bit apprehensive about this, because I'm sure I'll be recommended some skate shoes or "Chucks" or something, but I need some new casual shoes. These are my old ones, and they almost literally fell apart yesterday: [img]http://www.zappos.com/images/754/7540980/8521-909086-p.jpg[/img] I'd like something that's black, or otherwise quite dark, and preferably pretty cheap. I got the above for about $60, and it'd be great if I didn't have to spend much more than that.
Get a pair of superstars, or some Nike Baselines.
Is losing like 8 pounds in a week just from eating less bad?

The safest you can loose in a week is 2 pounds.
