On my desk: Paul Smith Walsh and The Hundreds Johnson Low Navy
May 3, 2010
For the last 4.5 years, I’ve pretty much worn my last pair of glasses every day and the wear and tear on them has started to take its toll. Structurally, they’re still holding up well, but the acetate is starting to turn white (almost crusty looking!) from oxidation. It took me six months of pestering the staff over at Oliver Peoples, but I finally bit the bullet and decided to splurge on getting new glasses. The specs of choice were the Paul Smith Walsh’s; a contemporary, half-rimmed frame much lighter than my previous pair. The staff over at Oliver Peoples in Fashion Valley were very helpful. If you find yourself blind and needing a new pair of glasses, swing by their shop and ask for Ray. Big Help.
My friend Keith used to run the shop with me over at BLENDS San Diego. He’s currently working with The Hundreds under their Footware department. Over the weekend, he swung by and left me with a pair of their “Johnson Lows” from their Summer 2010 Collection. For those that have been hiding under a rock for the last seven years, The Hundreds is a California Based Streetwear label. Since 2003 they have built quite an empire in DIY fashion. I’d like to say that they’re the hardest working label in the business. Whats up, Bobby!
