Red Wing Postman 101 vs Tricker's x Norse Projects

Some said that Norse Projects' recent collaboration with Tricker's is a cheesy copycat move by taking Red Wing's Style No. 101, Postman Oxford. I won't say that they are completely wrong though. It has a resemblance of the earlier model of Red Wing that has been quite famous all this years. But i think both still got their own character, and in the shoe game, it's always been about taking something from an old design, and makes it even more perfect, doesn't it? I mean, c'mon, it's hard to come up with an original shoe design nowadays.

Couple of days ago, on february 6th 2013, the new Nike Flyknit Lunar 1+ was released in Jakarta.

We have seen some teasers before via glltn, and recently, the full collection images has surfaced on the internet. 

TH Engineered Boot Zip LX

What's interesting from this season is the beautiful mountaineering feel, TH Engineered Boot Zip LX, which features a vibram outsole, combined with waxed suede and horween leather. This could be a bloody good alternative than your old pair of red wing boots.

TH Lace to Toe LX

Another great pair is the TH Lace to Toe LX (I know, the name's not working for me either). Inspired by classic military paratrooper boots, and also features horween leather atop of cristy vibram sole. What makes it nicer is the contrast colored leather accent on the back heel, it makes a very nice touch.

Get these at selected Vans Vault retailers / stockists.
