RED WING SHOES | CUSTOMIZED POSTMAN #101

yes, yes, yes – this is it! i love the #101 – the POSTMAN. my first pair was a present from KLAUS c/o VOLLS.DE. i know this post is something special for shoe nerds … but sorry, this is a RED WING SHOE for real RED WING LOVERS and not for fashion pussies! and the best: the customized #101 means for me one step further. hm, what do you think? would you prefer the one with the original cushion sole or the customized #101 one with the nitrile black cork sole, you may know f.ex. from RED WING’S black IRON RANGER #8114? i love the #101 look with this heel construction. it reminds me a classic U.S. navy officer shoe. but i like both and i won’t give one of them away because for me they are different shoes. KAMI c/o RED WING SHOE STORE FRANKFURT/GERMANY made the customized #101 for me. i can’t remember if the first miles with the original #101 hurt so much as they do with the customized one. damn. everyday i wear them just a few hours indoor and i am happy to get them off. but … it’s okay. the day will come when they got broken – this shoe is worth the trouble! pics | LTG

LUST AUF GUT | RED WING SHOE STORE FRANKFURT & B74

saturday evening i went to frankfurt, main, to meet ALEXANDER from BECAUSE BLOG with MARIA and UWE from AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION. all together we joined an event and small fashion show at B74. this show was organized by the city of frankfurt in context of the MTV EUROPEAN MUSIC AWARDS which took place yesterday. they used the B74 as a location for a small fashion show of frankfurt located label COCOLORES. all the stuff has had nothing to do with the stuff KAMI sells at B74 and RED WING STORE FRANKFURT. but it was nice to meet some friends there and exciting what was happening. beside the show i found LUST AUF GUT journal with some very well done sites portraying B74 and THE RWS STORE.  cool layout, really well done. pics | LTG

FILSON: WHY YOU NEED A WHEELED CARRY ON BAG WITH YOUR PADDED COMPUTER BAG | OR KAMI THINKS FOR COMFORT

BREAD & BUTTER SUMMER 2012 is over and it’s nice to be back home. from now on i will post on LIFE TIME GEAR again. but just for 1 1/2 weeks because i will make a 14 days break because of holidays in spain.

back to this post. it was so funny when i saw KAMI, owner of B-74 and RED WING STORE FRANKFURT, the first time putting his FILSON computer bag to the empty wheeled carry on bag. a great surprise, but on the one side so funny and on the other such a great idea. if you have your PADDED COMPUTER full loaded the bag will be really heavy weight. maybe it seems a bit luxurious and snotty but KAMI sells and distributes FILSON – questions? for sure, i was a little bit jealous about his comfortable way to transport the big computer bag because mine hurt on the shoulders all the long ways through the booths of BREAD & BUTTER. great innovation KAMI. i like it! pics | LTG

BOOT OF THE DAY | #130 | VINTAGE RED WING “FRANKFURTER” SAND ROUGH OUT # 8118

he guys, if anyone will find an #8118 in 9.5D please send me an email – QUICK! i am so sad, because i owned this boot 20 years ago and i sold it! what a mistake!! at this time i did not like the SUPER SOLE anymore, but today i love it – great look! phantastic. this #8118 i found on japanese LOSTANDFOUND site. it is sold. from 1990 in absolute perfect condition; for luck it was a 8.5D.  my wife has had the same boot: her first RED WING BOOT ever. bought at B-EBENE frankfurt, main, from KAMI. before, we were at the RED WING STORE frankfurt. at this time the shop was owned by a grumpy american and he just told us “Ick harbe no schuhs for frauen …” and send us away. when we were at home i impregnated the boots with a BLACK spray by mistake. with the first spray kick the toe was black – what a disaster! so i sprayed on the other boot the same dosage, took a sandpaper and rubed the boots off: after that they looked more than perfect. hm … long time ago …  pics | LOSTANDFOUND
