So a few weeks back i finally had the opportunity to connect with Shawn and Danny of  The LoveWright Co., and was graced with an amazing terry crew sweater.   This past Friday i received one of there new product offering called the “Califas” boot via Etnies Plus, LWR has combined forces to create a boot that is all quality, style and function with the world renown sole from Vibram. Here at MOSLEY TRIBES we are all about the reinterpretation of timeless classics and this boot is clearly that. I have to thank Shawn and Danny for these amazing boots these are definitely ready to be broken in, i know i will have theses for a very long time.

A little history on the Vibram Sole:  In 1935, Vitale Bramani led an expedition into the Italian Alps. The climbers used heavy, hobnailed boots for the approach, but then switched to thin-soled rock climbing boots for the assault. These climbing boots proved fatal when the expedition was hit by thick fog and a blizzard. Six climbers died from frostbite and exposure.

Vibram soles have gone on to conquer Mt. Everest, indeed since 1962 Vibram soles have been on the shoes of K2 conquerors and still now the interest for the competitive ascent and researching the Himalayas and on Karakorum is very much alive. Vibram often takes part in the expedition organized by the CNR (Italian National Research Council) to reach what many define as “the roof of the world”: Everest. On this mountain, at the altitude of 16,568 feet, is the laboratory “Pyramid Observatory”. This facility was created for the purpose of developing high-altitude scientific and technological activities for testing products and executing medical and physiological research. Vibram had detailed studies done on its new products at the Pyramid. By relying on the great experience of the mountain-climbers and technicians of world renown laboratories, Vibram conducted tests whose results are considered absolute, the utmost safety guarantee for mountain- climbers throughout the world.

Puro Califas, from the streets to the mountain tops

The deep bourdoix color is the truth, always worn unlaced with tongues out..

This past friday I had the oppertunity to style MOSLEY into the LWR shoot @ the social trust, I have to say that the new lyndel in fatigue green is amazing, it totally went with many of the looks that were featured, stay tuned for the complete fall looks from The LoveWright Co.

This past week i received a box from my friend Jannio who works for ETNIES+.

The last pair of ETNIES that i wore was back in ‘96, which was the SLB 23 model by pro skateboarder Sal Barbier. I think i still have them in my closet somewhere, super classic skate low that will always have that timeless clean look.

I was excited to see that the box contained the ETNIES+ FreshJive collaborative chukka, i have to say that this is the most comfortable shoe that i have worn in a while. I love the minimalist design aesthetic and canvas upper of this shoe, its definitely a good look. So check out some of the new offerings by ETNIES+
