They are so 80s.

the 80s are so 2005.

aren't "men's espadrilles" an oxymoron?

So they are so démodé in 2006.

i would not recommend wearing them to the jobsite!!!

Come on guys, I need something cool to wear with my member's only jacket and oakley frogskins!!

but at the end of the day, nothing beats a good pair of campers

Are you a starchitect, Gravitas? Joshua Prince-Ramus apparently is fond of silver sandals with his black suit, so I guess men's espadrilles are in the same vein.

I wear espadrilles and had to hunt high and low on the internet to find two pair for summer that were less than $50 each. I can't believe a little canvas and rope can be so expensive, but there ya go. Good luck with the search.

i think lb has a green pair and a pink pair. just so as you have something to go by gravitas.

I can't compete Prince-Ramus, my t-shirts aren't nearly tight enough. Vado, I was thinking gold. So, like, when I dance, people can only watch my feet, and it's like a flash of lighting or something.

Black and coral, vado, jeez, can't you try harder to keep track of my wardrobe?!?

Gravitas, what about flip flops? Or huaraches?

i knew i'd get in trouble if i actually named colors. i am not a very observant person. get some flip flops. flip flops with flames. and some jimmy buffett!!!

It's my toenails, oy! the fungus. it MUST be hidden from public eye.
What would jimmy buffet do in this situation?

i didn't know there was such thing as "a good pair of men's espadrilles". i didn't know miami vice was still in syndication.

QUALITY burn by shaybug!! Actually they only make sh*tty pairs of espadrilles, what in the world was I thinking. And back off The Vice man, or Phillip Micheal Thomas will come over and high kick you in the snout!

i think they're making a movie of miami vice. in theaters soon. i'm not kidding.

or 120$ espadrilles

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Matteo, you win the gilded pig.

do these count?

yeah Steven -- i saw a preview for it recently and colin farrell (of all people) is playing sonny crockett. i think i'll pass based on that miscast alone.

t-t-t-take take anything. but leave the espadrilles. please don't hurt the espadrilles.

I hate to say it, Gravitas, but these espadrilles = sexy:


These espadrilles = kinda dorky:


The two-day stubble a la Sonny Crockett , on the other hand, pretty much works for me no matter the decade.

I don't know, candy stripe =dorky? since when!?

lb, those are just this side of crossing over into a pornstar's wardrobe (i.e. very zesty)...and did someone mention candy strippers? ...uh, i mean stripers?

Yikes. Espadrilles. Never get them wet.

That Camper site randar82 linked to is a flash hell that puts architects to shame.
Nice shoes, though.

gravitas=gravis?? i think we might have a winner!!

anybody wanna dare to check the international male - they're notorious for an adventurous sense of fashion, right?

they have pants puddles. lots of pants.

Check out bensilver.com. Definitely authentiic.

Sorry, no time to figure out the link codes but espadrilles are in the casual section.

Thank RIDE those are some bad-ass espadrilles, but for $130?! I mean, I wanna look like a south american drug lord, but without the south american drug lor prices!!! The candy striped ones aren't even that much. I think I'm gonna give in and make my own, anybody have a stapler and some extra canvas?

when i was in HS i liked the clean-cut prep look. used to iron the button-down shirts and tuck them into the nicely ironed jeans. i used to go to this place in northeast mall in hurst TX called STRUCTURE. they had what i wanted. plus, our assistant high school band director moonlighted there and would liberally apply the employee discount to his students.

went there all through college. then. i go to the structure that used to be at the corner of north ave and clark st in chicago and...they had changed the name to EXPRESS FOR MEN. my wife shops at express. that was NOT a good name change.

and likewise, sorry, espadrilles for men sound just kinda wrong. never mind that they look like they were made by child labor.

I agree, Express for men, was a very bad name change, all part of the rise of the metrosexual to power.

Wait, wait, wait Ochona, you just admitted to A) ironing your jeans and, B) being in the high school band. Pardon me if I disregard your fashion tips. And by the way, Structure was always as equally metrosexual as Express is now, stop lying to yourself and go refill the iron with water, your jeans looked wrinkled!!

nowadays i take pride in not giving a squid about what i look like...and it shows. but hey, band was cool at my school...at least that's what my mom told me as she went over the creases in my jeans a second time...

Oh god...
