Hey guys,

I just got my hands on the Loro Piana Weekend Walk (DG batch) and had to share some thoughts.

Please note this is not AP batch but I think it's still nice to have different price range batches. Also I'm not an expert when it comes to comparison to retail.

About the shoes :

The suede texture is pretty soft and it reflects light beautifully without looking too greasy. Not sure about the type of leather tho, I can't tell but quality seems pretty good.

The shape seems a bit bulkier than retail but it's also because I didn't put them on yet. I find the toebox pretty well done, it’s not too overly pointed or bulbous. But again, I'm not an expert.

Regarding the sole, the rubber is a very light and well finished. It looks clean and good compared to retail.

On the foot :

The comfort level is very good. The insole provides a soft, cushioned feel. They seems to be breathable and don't feel restrictive at all. I think they will stand the test of time.

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison with the retail version, but from a distance, the finish looks pretty clean. No loose threads, no visible asymmetry. They seem well-packaged too, arriving with double protection (plastic wrapping and a mini shoe tote bag, and also a cardboard bag).

Sizing:

I'd recommend going true to size (TTS).

Overall, a solid addition to the rotation. Would love to hear if you guys have tried the DG batch specifically!

W2C : LP Weekend Walk DG

Hey fam!

Just received my latest haul: 3 pairs of high-quality sneakers

Rick Owens Vans Vintage (M8 batch): RO VANS

I went for the all-black model. The finish on the M8 batch is very clean; the leather quality is evident, and the stitching is tight with no loose threads. As for comfort, they're spot on. I really like the insole, which provides excellent cushioning. I think I'll be able to rack up some serious miles in these! Not an expert on comparing these with retails so if you guys can help out, feel free to comment.

They come with a tote bag and an extra pair of black laces.

For sizing, I recommend going true to size (TTS).

Loro Piana Week End Walk (DG batch): LP WE Walk

Another light and comfortable pair for the summer. The shoes are made of microfiber and tobacco brown suede with a touch of dark purple at the back (there are other colors). The suede is clean and reflects light nicely. I haven't compared them properly with retails (€890!!), but the finish looks pretty clean, with no loose threads or asymmetry. The rubber sole is ultra-light.

They arrive well-packaged with double protection: plastic and a mini shoe tote bag, and a cardboard bag.

For sizing, I recommend going true to size (TTS).

Rick Owens Concordians Minimal (GZ batch): RO Minimal

Another beautiful finish; the leather is super well-treated, evident to the touch and in its flexibility. The pair is classified as women's' so the style might be particular for some. They give off a very minimalist Rick Owens vibe. They are also very light; I'm thinking of using them as summer shoes.

They come with a tote bag.

ATTENTION regarding sizing: I wear a 42.5, ordered a 43, and they are too big. I should have ordered a 42. Maybe even a 41, as I have very narrow feet. So, go 1 size down.

Salut la famille !

Dernier Haul reçu, 3 paires de chaussures haute-qualité.

Rick Owens Vans Vintage (M8 batch) :

J'ai craqué sur ce modèle all-black. La finition sur la batch M8 est très propre, on sent que le cuir est quali, les coutures sont bien j'ai pas vu de fil qui dépasse. Niveau confort, c'est nickel aussi, j'aime beaucoup la semelle intérieure qui a un bon amorti sous le pied. Je pense que je vais pouvoir leur mettre des kms dans la tête !! Après je ne m'y connais pas assez en comparaison retail mais elles ont vraiment l'air solides. Si certains ont des avis, n'hésitez pas.

Elles viennent avec un tote bag et une extra paire de lacets noirs.

Pour la taille, je vous conseille de prendre TTS

Loro Piana Week End Walk (DG batch) :

Una autre paire légère et agréable pour l'été. Les chaussures sont en microfibre et daim marron tabac avec une touche de violet foncé à l'arrière (il y a d'autres modèles), le daim est propre et reflète bien à la lumière. Après j'ai pas comparé avec les vraies (890€) mais je trouve que la finition est propre, pas de fil qui pend ou d'asymétrie. La semelle en caoutchouc est ultra-légère.

Elles arrivent bien emballées avec double protection, plastique et sorte de mini tote bag pour chaussures et également avec un sac cartonné.

Pour la taille, je vous conseille de prendre TTS

Rick Owens Concordians Minimal (GZ batch) :

Encore une belle finition, le cuir est super bien traité, on le sent au toucher et à la souplesse. La paire est unisexe donc le style est particulier pour certains, je peux comprendre. Elles donnent un côté très minimaliste Rick Owens. Très légère aussi. Je pense plutôt à utiliser comme des paires d'été. La semelle est plutôt fine

Elles arrivent avec un tote bag.

ATTENTION à la taille, je fais du 42.5 et j'ai pris 43 et elles sont trop grandes. J'aurais dû prendre du 42. Peut-être même que je rentrais dans du 41, après j'ai les pieds très fins. Donc prenez une taille en dessous.

Je vous mets tous les liens en commentaire !!

Went to lose myself in the woods this morning.

Wanted to share some pictures. Nature is beautiful and we're lucky to be part of it
