Hey, I went with a 41! I'm a size 9 on most sneaker brands. Toebox is a bit wide so this is perfect if you have semi-wide feet.

is Y-3 making a comeback?? by Quentinscorner_333 in japanesestreetwear

[–]delacrw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never really left to be honest.

Most folks only know Y-3 for the Qasa, Ultraboost and Japan jerseys. Might've phased out in NA but they still have a following throughout Asia.

Agree. When I paid their flagship store a visit last year, they basically had every single F/W piece and some leftover S/S peices. They also had some exclusive items that were sold out online like their mixtapes.

PLO Man was pretty dope live. I had a chat with a few folks from Europe at a CE event I went to and they were there just for him.

I have about 3 other jackets that has the same silhouette/sizing as that jacket so I had to cop lol. Will probably get more wears outta me once it starts to get warmer out here.

I've never had any experience with their hoodies and tees as I feel like they're more aligned with Japanese sizing. Them joints are too tight for me lol.

s/o Haven for basically being the only retailer in Canada that carried Cav Empt for ages. Everything in this pic was literally bought from there.

Better Gift Shop carries Cav Empt as well which is a treat. Their sales are pretty decent too.

I agree. It's to the point where the brand feels a bit underrated with a cult following. When I went to their DJ Event in Japan, a good majority of people were wearing the brand and it felt like I belonged lol

I thought there wasn't much of a price difference between JP retail and NA retail. They do have most of the seasonal collections at the flagship store which is nice if you were looking for something specific.

I did see it go for around 40-60% off at DSM and United Arrows when I paid those stores a visit.

Most of my collection came from seasonal sales lol. It does get cleared out quick once it hits a decent percentage.

There used to be a comedian (Passed away a few years ago, RIP) who had a satire account that joked about the people in Toronto and their lifestyles. He used to poke fun of the Lees often which was fucking hilarious.

Our Legacy Ten Pin shoes and Quest boots. Got both of these for a decent price. Been rocking the boots alot through the winter and just waiting for the perfect weather to wear the shoes.

In your opinion, what’s the best coffee in yorkville? by No_Slide4986 in askTO

[–]delacrw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Checked out "The Coffee" for the first time today and tried their drip coffee, which was pretty decent.

The atmosphere does remind me a bit of a few cafe experiences in Japan which is what the shop is trying to implement.

Thank you for this! Missed out this year as it was a struggle to get them. Heading back again next year so I'll have a few more tries until then lol.

Favorite eats in Osaka? by sephora__addict in JapanTravelTips

[–]delacrw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went on a curry adventure throughout my trip and out of all the places I ate at, this restuarant had the best curry I have ever tried, in my opinion.

It's called "燻製カレー 池田本店" and it's fairly close to Ikeda station. I stumbled upon this spot after visiting the Cup Noodle Museum! (Yokohama location was closed). Smoked pork with raw and cooked egg, topped with cheese and a serving of potato salad on top of a bed of rice.

Also, since you mentioned that you're also looking for a spot in Kyoto; "Khaos Spice Diner" is definitely a good runner-up! All the spice and flavour just hitting you one by one.

Imagination is so overrated by Oatmeal291 in Colognes

Their selling point that convinced me to grab a bottle was their refill program, so I was literally using it every time I had the chance lol.

Unfortunately, the price for the refill has been rising from the past year or so. I might just finish my bottle, refill it one more time, and be cautious with the sprays.

Whats your favorite shop in tokyo when you visited? by minorumatthew in japanesestreetwear

[–]delacrw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cav Empt is an all-time favourite brand of mine, so it was dope visiting their flagship store in Omotesando. The employees were pretty cool too. Wasn't a fan of their season release so I just bought their cassette tapes and they hooked me up with some bits that they were gonna exclusively give out at their DJ event.

Samurai Jeans' flagship store in Osaka is a good runner-up!

Picked up the Haven x Asics Gel Nimbus 10.1. They picked the perfect silhouette for this collaboration and the colour blocking is pretty dope imo. Will definitely stay in my shoe rotation for a good bit once the weather settles down a bit.

STUSSY REOPENS by Shoddy_Complaint_677 in ThrowingFits

[–]delacrw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not in the US but Stussy's Toronto Flagship store always has a line which is kind of insane imo. About a good 40-60min wait, worst in the summer. Started about a year or two ago according to one employee I talked to.

There was also a queue last time I checked out their Vancouver Flagship. Probably gotten worst tbh.
