Ready To Wear
I originally bought these because I liked how minimalist they looked, and I felt like a pair of grey sneakers went with more or less everything (which they totally do). I couldn't afford to buy the boots I really wanted to wear for the thunderdome, but I still had these lying around, which I had only worn once up to that point to make sure they fit and were comfortable. After getting approval from the folks at Stitchdown, I thought it'd be fun to wax them as well, and give me an edge with patina since they're hardly a well-known shoe or leather. I figured it was all just an economical way for me to get into the contest, learn some things, and have fun.
