JDP Reviews: Cole Haan 'Air Grant'

I'll be honest, I was a little put off by the "Nike Air" tab on the side of the moc. Don't get me wrong, I like Nike, but something about it on my leather mocs just kind of cheapens them for me. But who's getting that close to my feet, anyway?

After wearing these sinfully attractive shoes for a full day I must say, any wariness I had due to the Nike Air logo was completely trumped by how incredibly comfortable these shoes are. Every step just feels better and better. Not to mention how good they look. A man even approached me to inquire as to who they were by and where he could pick up a pair.

Cole Haan Air Grant- because top siders have become WAY too common.

Whale of a Time

To be honest, I never really go "shopping" for myself. But sometimes, you just cant pass up a good deal. So, this past weekend, while accompanying a friend to Nordstrom, I found these:


I figured it was time to replace my old Cole Haan Gunnisons. After all, they do have a hole in the heel from wearing them so much.

Later after a Central Market lunch we found ourselves at St. Bernards Sports store where I purchased my first series of these:


Sans popped collar, of course. We leave that to our friends above the Dixie.

And lastly, I purchased a replacement pair of the classics:


Reviews to come.

Driving mocs

Hey y'all. So about 4 months ago I bought a pair of the Cole Haan gunnison driving mocs. I love

them, but the toe seems to be wearing very quickly. This bothers me seeing as how they were $165.

I feel like a good driving moc to preppy men is like what the tory burch flat is to preppy women. It's a daily staple. I'm over the whole sperry craze. I love(d) my sperrys since high school. I've had three pairs I've successfully broken in and worn out. But whats up with the hipster kids taken away our style?

I mean, urban outfitters sells them now. C'mon y'all, give me a break. Just the other day I saw a guy wearing skinny jeans, an american apparel deep v-neck, and a pair of deck shoes. If that guy has ever stepped foot on a sail boat, I'll bite my tongue may God himself strike me dead.

Point is I need some new driving mocs and I don't know where to go. If I ever get anyone to follow my blog, please give me some advice.
