I wear jeans to work.

Project manager for a construction company in NYC. We clear 60M a year, but fuck if I'm gonna wear a suit to a job site.

**jinkazama** · 2014-12-12 08:04

I have plenty of suits and a pair of dress shoes other than tuxedo converse that I wear to conferences and court and such. I'm a drafting gremlin at a surveying company so I sit my ass in back and connect the dots all day long wearing whatever the fuck I want. When I work at the theatre I just wear shorts and one of our sweet Florida Twin Theatre shirts because fuck that synthetic butter shit for ruining all my clothes.

I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work and I'm a lawyer. #winning

Not a blax, don't enjoy sneakers. I do have some sweet Nike SB's from when I worked at a shop that sold em. Gonna sell em in a year or two for about a grand. Nothing like ripping idiot sneaker heads off.

I'LL TAKE EM

**Sepukku** · 2014-12-12 08:59

Work in a financial business, had jeans policy, went to a dress code policy for a year, now back to jeans 5 days a week once more.... Very happy they reversed course

**Bregor** · 2014-12-12 09:03

I wonder what Myrrh thinks about dress shoes and workplace fashion.

**Zetanio** · 2014-12-12 09:08

This thread is now about shoes and being fancy. No one cares about some guy getting married.

Yeah I am. I had a nice collection going, but have sold some of them off. They were all SBs though.

Had the Street Fighter Ryus, Pac Mans, Ms. Pac Mans, Skunks, and a few others that I sold.
Still have the Mc Rads, St Patrick's 2012, and a couple others. Had to cut back on the sneakers a bit with the wedding coming up. Been spending money on the car instead. Two of my coworkers have collections of Jordans and SBs. One has 75+ the other 100+ pairs. They have closets full of them.

oh man i don't have any SBs, you prob got a nice chunk of change for those pacmans. i mainly collect jordans but am trying to complete the set of Tisci x AF1s. Look forward to flipping them all some day for an unforeseen expense and being super bitter about it.

Definitely bittersweet. I really liked the Pacmans and Ms. They had 3M reflective material that threw me off the first time I took a picture of them. They were great.

My favorite pair right now are really simple. SB Hyper Red Mids. I wear them out (they're not a Quick Strike) whenever it fits with what I'm wearing. I also really like the Mc Rads and decided I don't want to sell them so I wear them every once in a while as long as it isn't raining/hasn't rained recently.

**tyven** · 2014-12-12 09:40

Mcrads are awesome, super funky. hyper red mids are dope, im still not sick of red colourways dominating everything. the lebron x1 independence day lows are my general go-to but today i am wearing adidas flux prisms cuz CASUAL FRIDAY

Or the fact that he's going to live with a new lung. I'm still trying to figure out why you would save your life with a new lung just to get married. Everybody knows you're basically dead anyhow once you get married.

Edit: I'm only kidding, kinda.

**Zetanio** · 2014-12-12 09:50

I'm trying to remember all my SB's...

I had some Tiff's, skated in them (Regretting that now obviously)
I have a pair of Heinekens
A pair of Quagmire's
Sold my pair of skate or die's awhile ago for $200
Had the Money Cat's, gave em as a birthday present
I had two pairs of spiderman's I wore right out of the box
I have some Todd Bratrud hi's
Have a pair of marshall's but they are worn
Have a pair of boba fett's worn

Working at a shop that sold SB's was nice. Cost for those things is low.

I had like 6-7 pairs of griptape mid's. Still have 2-3 in the closet, best skate shoe and works with anything.

EDIT:
I have a pair of Newcastle's that went into the ocean and the mud. They look sweet now.

**Zetanio** · 2014-12-12 09:54

I can't believe the lobsters are 6,000 now. They look like shit in person and I could have bought 2 pairs at cost.

im surprised ur shop sold hot items to employee. i guess i shouldnt be tho. i should try to get a part time job at finish line or something just for the Js

**tyven** · 2014-12-12 09:59

For BIG releases we paid full retail. He was a terrible manager and boss and killed the store. No ragrets.

That was pretty much the most annoying week to be a shop employee in history.
