Creative Recreation Dicoco Hi-Top

I’ve been eyeing Creative Recreation for some time and now I finally own my first pair! Gilt had a nice selection of Creative Recreation sneaks the other day so, of course, I had to get in on the action because I am a consumer whore. I nabbed a pair of the Dicoco Hi-Tops. Stylish, nice colorway, comfortable, awesome leather velcro ankle straps, love the little ‘Creative Recreation’ logo detailings by the show laces and on the back/side of the sole – I love this shoe! These kicks retail around $110. Next pair of Creative Recreations will probably be Cesario’s. These guys make some awesome metallic colorways, too!

Generic Surplus Military Hi-Tops – Fresh Kicks

Quickly becoming one of my favorite brands is Generic Man’s Generic Surplus, fashionably understated sneaks that are surprisingly affordable. Because I have no self control and Generic Surplus keeps popping up on Gilt, I, yet again, went for the gold. If I had been a little quicker I might have ended up with ten new pairs of sneaks, but instead I only managed to nab a pair of Mililtary Hi-Tops in white/light grey in my size. Check out the hip photo from Generic Surplus’ factory in Korea of the beautiful shoe.

This shoe is awesome. The shoe features a simple design of white canvas and very light grey suede. Comfortable and sleek (kinda retro too), Generic Surplus does it again. I need to grab these in grey at some point (and knowing my condition, that point is coming along very soon. In fact… it may have happened already.) Retails at $72.00

More Kicks from Generic Surplus

Because I just can’t help it when there’s a good deal on Gilt, here I am buying more discount Generic Surplus sneaks. You may remember Generic Surplus from my post on their badass Pointy Oxford Sneakers. With this recent sale from Gilt, I acquired two more pairs from the brand that was founded in an NYC loft in ‘97. Both of these kicks are hip as hell. I got two different grey pairs, the cotton lo top and the canvas lo top.

I love the cotton lo tops’ simplicity. With only three lace loops, the loop pattern really stands out and you have a really slick pair of sneakers. Very comfortable.

The canvas lo tops are not as stylish as the cotton ones, but they are very simple and remind me of Feiyue’s lo tops that are often bootlegged for cheap kung fu kicks.

Kudos, Generic Surplus. I am a fan, indeed!
