Kenzo Boots
So I found these boots the other day while browsing through SSENSE

They're £410 so they're an aspirational purchase but I like the zipper design and the color. But what do you think, could this work with my inspo?

What is your current inspo?
It's hard to explain
It's kinda Art like, kinda zeo like, kinda ivy like
Frankly I don't see what these shoes would add to your current wardrobe
yeah id say a duck boot would fufill a similar fantasy and line up better w your inspo
Kenzo is usually styled pretty heavily towards streetwear, with big repeating patterns or bold colors. I think these boots are fine, but putting them onto a basic shirt pant jacket combo would look off. Here's how they're styled in a recent runway.
I was about to say that
I have not heard of those before 🦆 :linkLOL:
I think you could find something better for less. Something like this https://dicks-edinburgh.co.uk/collections/moonstar/products/moonstar-hibasket-in-natural
also, personal opinion only but I dont like side zips on a lace up shoe.

ya, this feels like pricetag / nametag shopping more than anything aesthetic
not to be a weenie and try and read between the lines
but you got a lot of brown shoes alr
Yeah :bloberm:
Duck!
they kinda are an iconic ivy outdoorsy shoe choice
Very Sam like ik 😭
it's all good man
just keeping ya honest :P
👍
Yea, I've still got these
Yeah, the Kenzo boots would overlap a lot with those.
At least on a very basic level
a minor point but answering this question is far better with pictures
cannot beat the bean boot
but also no not really, both from a style standpoint and a practical one (bigger sole is better with wider fit pants)
+1 to duckboots (honestly i prefer duck mocs but you may want a higher profile shoe)
to my surprise the place i ordered my duck boots from was legitimate, i’m unsure if they still have the sale on they they did previously but i managed to pick a pair up for £30
I was considering either making this thread or asking if Tik Tok was a good place for style inspo
It's obviously clear what I chose :xd:
tiktok is a great place for inspo
if you look in the right places
tbh ive found as much good inspo as bad inspo on tiktok, just gotta curate it a bit
Actually yeah, I'll make another thread for that 🫡
Along the lines of @casey's suggestion, you could also check out these Novestas. I like my pair a lot: https://www.gonovesta.com/en/star-master-99-beige
