This is some Tom & Jerry shit right here.
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit in the wind and you don’t make these types of changes to the Cookies.
I’m all for change. Change is good. Obama championed change. I change my underwear every morning. I change my mind several times…per sixty seconds. And I’m all for brand recognition & the Horse is easily more recognizable to the general public. But that’s the point — a little pretentiousness & flair are what made these unique. The strap. The height. And the logo. It’s always about the nefarious logo. So these types of bland changes? These joints are a close second to the whole Jordan Fusion fuckery.
I ain’t Rack-Lo or no shit, but I’m disgusted @ Lo for this because that change is pure design negligence. I know the recession is here but cutting back from the one of the key elements on an ill boot is weak sauce. As if it wasn’t bad enough, they’ve already been slacking back on the leather over the years, to the point where it’s flimsy & not as sturdy as it should be for a boot. At the end of the day, that leaves me with these from circa two years ago.
Not pleased. Not pleased @ all Ralph-Lo.





Tell ‘em why you mad G.
Remind me of some boots I woulda wore back in 88′! Fugly!
lol. Damn son.
Turk, you’re in LA. Something tells me you wear flip-flops instead of boots. Scram kid! lol
You end up copping those things? I’d grabbed another yesterday actually.
And those boots are flawless man. You just gotta have the style & nuts to pull’em off.
Luckily, I have both in ample reserve.
Polo Fuck Dat Hilfiger !
but can’t fuck w/ Tim boots !
The Lo-Life’s are infamous! Dudes used to be shook to rock Polo, especially down on 42nd Street. You were asking to get vicked.
rugged neva smooooove
Gotty, you bastard. I hate you for having those boots.
I copped some Safari AF1′s for $74 yesterday, & those black/gums are growing on me
Gotty gets gallons of that sauce from Harolds to drown out the bad taste of the food he has prepared for him. That’s why he has a preference for cereal
Would you flam those boots with jeans tucked in? That would be a very Brooklyn look
I got on Timbs right now (snow in the forecast). I have NEVER even seem some shits like that… kinda fly. I got on all Polo right now too.
What a coinkydink. I got on a ‘Lo rugby & 6″ wheat Tims as well…
Let’s turn this into a TSS TWDYWT post
Or not
Personally, I rock the Lo boots that have the waterproof leather on the toe box. My first ones just had two vertical zippers instead of laces, but the most recent ones I copped had a strap going across the front. Didn’t like them at first, but I love them now. With that said, Gotty, maybe you can learn to like these…maybe.
I got Lo moccasins but haven’t really seen any of their duck boots that caught my eye.
WDYWT — 569′s, Lo longsleeve w/the P-Wing logo, navy/white AF1 baseball eds, navy Mets
them shits look like the eastbay joints all the spanish cats had back in high school
AND A P-WING TOO? Bastard squared
yo gotty, just came up on the duck jawns…if you cop immediately you can still catch the second version with the P…but i refuse to cop the ones with the horse on the side…just not a good look…thats for cats that need people to know that they are rockin lo.
Man they really messed up those boots; the orginals were hot to death. Gotty were did you pick them up from, I need a pair in my life.
Dave – Link? Email me on it if need be john. gotty at gmail dot com
Bigga – I picked them up a long while ago. Hard to believe they’re still in “decent” shape. Long gone from where I copped though b/c I’ve been checking.
Sorry G…..I didnt always spend my time in LA. After high school in went to Louisiana, North Carolina, and Michigan.
Jeah….I still rock house shoes with socks not flip flops! Flip flops are too 1990 ish to me. Only at the beach they gets play.
I didnt pick em up…..we couldnt agree on a price.lol
And those boots shouldnt be considered boots really. WTF??? A strap and laces? Get the fahk oudda heaah!!!!
Look like some 1985 preppy going to a campsite with all the amenities of being at home type boot/shoe shit.
I passed on some shoddy-looking Polo Sport duck boots at Burlington Coat Factory that were glued together
But for the most part, Polo is a classic, quality mainstay…been a ‘Lo head for a while…I can’t get with this Jim Jones/Lil Wayne quasi-rock-star look
There are in good shape; I seen a pair at a Daffy’s a year and half ago but they were a size 9. I haven’t seen a pair since. These new fangled joints aint cutting it. I would have to rock them with the jeans tucked in one side so I could cover up that hideous logo. Push comes to shove I will have to build a time machine and go back to 89. LOL!!!
Amp: you aint lying, I was glad I couldn’t afford Polo growing up. I seen many a cat catch a bad one on the 2 and 3 train for their lo gear.
*vomitting* these are beyond hideous!
“But for the most part, Polo is a classic, quality mainstay…been a ‘Lo head for a while…I can’t get with this Jim Jones/Lil Wayne quasi-rock-star look”
Couldn’t agree wit you more Teef!! Been a ‘Lo head for well over 20 yrs. since pop dukes slid me my first boatneck crizzy knit…still got that same knit to this day……but shit got real stupid in ’92 when I started college at Howard Univ…..got nuff skinz off the power and prestige of dat ‘Lo!!
Those re-retros don’t look that horrible from the pics, but I heard they got velcro on the strap now…wtf?!?!? Like Gotty, I still have my og country joints, hi & lo, and 3 pairs of the retro joints just cause I neva knew when Ralph would dupe up some more, but now he comes with these with the obvious “I have on Polo boots by Ralph Lauren” horsey smack dab in the middle of the cookie…..smh…..but watch tho, these shits will disappear faster than u can say ’87 Cross Flags’…..and the majority coppin will be us ‘Lo headz….
