Okay, #3 is not wearing Docs. But he should be. (He reminds me of the boy I had a deep, deep crush on my junior year in high school.)These photos were snapped by The Sartorialist in Paris, Florence and Stockholm. Now take a look over here.

Oh God. I went to the nerdiest nerdfest reading at a bookstore a couple nights ago (like, nerdy not in a cool way, like in a truly unbearable LARP-ing, astral projecting, witchy-poo kind of way) and was noting how many people were wearing Docs and it creeped me out.
ReplyDeleteI must put my delicately Margiela shod foot down on this one.
I forgot to look at the shoes, but I'll gladly stare at the first two men.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it. I bought mine in the early 90's as a mother with two little kids and a minivan. In other words, trying for some kind of irony in the midst of mother fog. I still have them. I just checked, yes, they are on my shoe rack. Do they count as vintage do you think?
ReplyDeleteI just bought D a pair of old school black 8-holes for Christmas. Does that make her trendy?
ReplyDeleteI remember my many pairs of docs from middle school that I wish I still had. Forest green, pea green, navy blue, wing tips...maybe I was spoiled.
Stoked. That was a trend I was in on/ didn't give up on for YEARS. I still have a very beat up pair.
ReplyDeleteIn for weddings too?
I am really on the fence about this. Kind of wish I still had my old pair of oxbloods (my mom *told me* not to give them away). But in the end I think I'm with genevieve. Did it the first time.
ReplyDeleteOkay maybe I did it the fourth time:

I had a purple pair when I was 10, I loved them but they got me seriously picked on at school.
ReplyDeleteThey don't do anything for me any more.
Nice men though.
dh ah ha ha hah!!!!! i wonder if we are supposed to wear them with dresses now? and if you have red laces in your docs does it still mean you have killed someone?!?!? hahahahah.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Peonies: the men beat the docs.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the docs. I remember feeling awkward and big-footed and heavy in them. Possibly related to the gawky age at which I happened to be wearing them.
my sweet friend already has the Docs back on her feet.....don't think I can though.
ReplyDeleteyeah Oxbloods! Those were the ones that I used to wear. I related to Mouse's comment about wearing them previously at a gawky age and being big-footed. But they certainly bring back memories. And they're comfortable.
ReplyDeleteesb,
ReplyDeletecan a guy like me rock the ox? What do you think? I've been on the fence for a while.

Max, I like the *idea* but Docs are just too branded for me now. (I feel the same way about Converse.)
ReplyDeleteVintage combat boots would be much cooler:

And probably better made. Of course they don't come in oxblood ;)
Oh nummy nummy nummies!
ReplyDeleteOn the shoes on my blog: you git um, wear them tons and I'll stalk your blog to vicariously enjoy them? Deal? :)
Actually I will quite possibly succumb if I keep thinking about them, particularly on a payday. BADNESS.
my theory:
ReplyDelete90's = Recession = Grunge = Cool
NOW = Recession = Grunge = Cool
:)
I've missed mine, but am not completly convinced I should go there (or want to...)
ReplyDeleteDocs don't work so well for me (I have incredibly tiny feet) but I almost always wear combat boots. And yes, even this past summer, I wore them with a baby-doll dress to an outdoor concert (Regina Spektor).
ReplyDeleteI think grunge will be making a comback now that the economy's slumping.
Also, I'm sick of the 80s.
I think anything seen on mysocalledlife is making a come back.
ReplyDeleteI love me some docs on other ppl but I doubt I'll go back there.
