today something very special for the wishlist: super rare RED WING boots #8150. there are still some pairs available at B-74 and RED WING STORE FRANKFURT – nowhere else, just exclusively @ this 2 locations and online @ www.b-74.de. this camouflage RWS is one of the finest boots in my collection: a-never-ebay-item, life time gear. if you want so more pics please check my post from january 2012 when the #8150 was my boot of the day #111 and another post with some more facts. pics | LTG
KAMI from RED WING STORE FRANKFURT made me a big surprise! some months ago i asked him for an # 8118, because i am a great fan of the called FRANKFURTER RWS boots. they are and were made in three different colors and two leathers. i know that KAMI has an archive in his basement with some old worn and dead stock RWS – so, why not asking? he told me, that maybe there is one but he couldn’t promise. three weeks ago i helped KAMI in layouting an advertisement over night for his distribution firm. when i saw him the next time, it was at an event in the context of the MTV EUROPEAN AWARDS at B74, he took me aside and told me about a surprise for me. holy shit – he gave me an #8118. i was speakless because i know that the boot isn’t available anymore and i forgot asking him for the boot at this moment. the one he gave me is a vintage one, a return because of a small defect of the SUPERSOLE. KAMI and his staff restored the boot and it looks really really good. what a great piece. KAMI thank you so much again! a something special memory to your person – indeed. pics | LTG
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
this boot has a crazy story. i bought it in 2006 at RED WING SHOE STORE FRANKFURT. i saw this oro-russet BECKMAN and it was an absolute must-have. i knew this style just in the colors dark brown (the centennial – #1908), black, chestnut featherstone and black cherry featherstone. in 2011 i sold it to my buddy PETER because of an exploding boot closet … WHAT A MISTAKE. always when i saw PETER wearing this boot i got crazy. so i bought it back. since this day i wore my beloved 1912 just 3 times to preserve it. there is no information about the #1912 in the web … nothing. yep, i think i own a really rare and so awesome RED WING BOOT – MY1912 MOC TOE. pics | LTG

the evening time was running through so fast. just a few “SAUER GESPRITZE” two shots of STETSON WHISKEY … STETSON? i have to ask KAMI for the whiskey: it was STETSON labelled, genial smooth and its caramel taste was awesome: i want more of this! meeting a lot of friends and got to know some new friends, especially ESTHER, WHYTSE and MATTHIJS from the european RED WING HERITAGE headquater were so kind, wonderful, funny and liable – great! i have had a lot of interesting talks about boots, RWS and some other unimportant things that make life so livable if you understand what i mean … beside there was the exhibition: great stuff to look at and to read the stories. thx the RED WING STORE FRANKFURT TEAM for the evening. bad pics | LTG made with my new mini LUMIX with the wrong tune-up – damn …

it is years ago i saw this damn, f***ing, fancy boot the first time. i even remember the man who wears this shitty boot: it was PETER HECKMANN and i asked him “what the hell happened to this RED WING 875?” some years later i met KAMI from the RED WING STORE FRANKFURT and owner of B-74 wearing a rugged 8150. and i did not know what to think now about the boot: it was looking strange but really, really cool rugged and vintage like it was. now 3 years later after asking myself several times to own this boot or not i bought it some weeks ago. and believe me i am so happy about my 8150. it is really funny seeing the people staring at me feet … i think the RED WING STORE FRANKFURT and B-74 are the only shops worldwide selling this boot. aren’t they? the 8150 is based on a 8138 but the leather is printed with a classic “DUCK HUNTING” camouflage pattern in cooperation with MOSSY OAK®. for even a better camouflage effect you should use brown laces. i am sorry, but there is no information about the history of this boot – nowhere! come on and get one of the last 8150s ever … pics | LTG
the BOW TIE LACING method looks simple and it is indeed. beside, this minimal look fits my vintage RED WING SHOES #8131 very good. KAMI from the RED WING STORE FRANKFURT, germany, gave me the tip to use new laces when i show some different types of lacing – and he was right. it looks better now … pics | LTG | Ian Fieggen
