Kiddie Havs and Crocs

I got my first born last October and it topped the happiest (momentous) day of my life. By the way, my partner at S-CRED also had his first son (2nd child) last december.

Im posting in here, my baby’s future tsinelas…

crocs and havaianas

These are hand-me-overs original havaianas and crocs from his cousins (soon to be 3 years old and soon to be four years old, thanks kuyas), still very mint condition.

I’m thankful. Im excited.

Havaianas Solo Shoot

In the middle of the silent night, I played around with the havs and gave the slip-ons the time of its life. I gave it, one-on-one photoshoot. After this shoot, it will go to where its supposed to be, back to earth.












Speaking of slip-ons... A different story altogether...

Manila Vanilla’s Air Tsinelas. Here’s a take on Pinoy’s brand of basketball playing on, as the author puts, “pancake rubber” AKA, tsinelas. Nice work.

To add… Nung araw, Spartan brand is the king of Air Tsinelas, tigas nito ‘Pre! For the sosi Air Tsinelas, I think we got the “Beach Walk.” And you think Beach Walk, already priced low would dominate the market? Not for long. The Air Tsinelas market got a little more competitive after the release of the “Beach Walk” clone, the “Sun Beach.”

For the porma Air Tsinelas, we got the “Islander.” It’s on the thicker side to use as ball gear, but at least, you have a little more presentable chinelas pag mangliligaw ka sa kanto. Meron pa ngang RAMBO (or rambbo), I could go on.

Today, Havaianas is the way to go. The simpler ones hovers around P600.

I bought the Havaianas yesterday, P1200 for a pair. The photos above, priceless. =)

On bashing Havaianas and getting one





My wife really wanted to buy me a pair but I am not really buying it, so to speak. I feel like if everybody has a pair, it's not cool to wear one now. Everywhere I go, havaianas all over. Like, it's the official footwear of the middleclass and above. Just to stop the push, I just offered, it’s her who needed one and that I’ll just give her a havaianas pair instead. It's here. What a way to counter the offer.

What I really wanted this xmas is a pair of orig classic ray-bans, the very big lenses. My wife says she's willing to do a 50/50 on me for the Ray Bans. But the price range of 6k to 10k is too much right now. Other bills to pay at this point. I just went home with the Sprinto sunglasses. It's around 1900. Got it sale at around 950.00, with 2 free extra lenses and 2 free mini eyewear for the kids (later given as gifts).

Good Lord, I spent half day of the 23rd bashing Havaianas (with praises to Crocs to boot) and repeating countless times that I don't need one and I don't want one. Then, on the 24th day of Christmas, my modah gave to me, a pair in a pear tree.

I am wearing it now at home, and I'll go back to mall wearing this, and I'll buy another one again for my wife coz the high heeled one she has is a pain in the foot.
