Depends on where u live, in Southern Africa nuffin abnormal abt brothas wearing these cos there's a much lighter almost beige type mainly worn by farmers and schoolboys in boarding school (they were a must on my brothers schl lists) they're called velskoons. Its Afrikaans and roughly means 'felt shoes'.

Always wanted a pair, but they didn't make velskoons for girls so I was glad when they started making 'em for girls in South Africa with the different colours. I recently got a slightly darker brown than in the pic, very comfortable and gr8 4 walking.

I never could get with that square southern Negro style...In Cali we usually don't soften up that much. I get it tho...MAYBE I could rock these joints but it's this particular look... bruvas look clean but it ain't for me. I'll cop some ill dress sneakers from sportie LA or undefeated. crispy jeans. fly fitted wit a sport coat fly watch...Im killin em....BUT I must say as I write... these joints are lookin flyer and flyer... might could work with Ill cuz their quarter tops....hmmmm?
