286. Superga
Fifteen years ago, you could only buy Supergas at Russell & Bromley. Now, they are everywhere. But I still love them, because they are Italian, and classic, and comfortable, and less ubiquitous than Vans. Also, if you have a navy pair, and you wear them a lot, and frequently in the sea, they fade to the colour of the sea off the Amalfi Coast. Va bene.

i don't really know what they are apart from nice canvas shoes (but as ever you are ahead of me in such matters).
ReplyDeleteHowever, i fully support the stance of sticking with something good that works, despite fashion, influence and popularity. the cream always rises.
In a deflectional segue moment i will say how surprised i am about superdry and how everyone seems to be wearing this crazy brand which is neither japanese or US, despite the derivative designs. i am now 'officially' old and unable to understand what the young people like.
