    Alex has you covered when surplus rucksacks aren’t classy enough: That thing is beautiful.  The combination of this distressed olive leather with the supple looking black straps, piping detail and flaps is just amazing.  I’m a big fan of bags… duffle, rucksack, or otherwise.  Additionally, if they are military inspired, leather, and/or use advance materials count…

    Colorway: subdued Fraggle Rock? I don’t even know what that camouflage pattern is supposed to be, but that designer was obviously on one.  “Explosive Camo” hey?  Sure buddy, whatever you say. Has BAPE ever had an original shoe pattern?   It’s always Converse and Nike ripoffs… now Vans too apparently.  I wonder when they are going…

    Recognize: If your leather ain’t nappa, your shoe ain’t oxford, and your sole ain’t camouflage, what are you doing with your life? $325 over at Del Toro.
