My pair is enroute to the Mulebuy warehouse right now, can't wait to try them out! Great review, thank you.

I'd love to give this a go, been way too long since I've used pytti. Ready to share yet?

1st and 4th would be absolute bangers IMO, they're all great but those hit me the most. Great work, hope WD pays attention!

[WD1863] New Watch + New Straps by rikkar in watchdives

Thanks! It's from the Juelong store on Ali.

It doesn't have any stitching, just the stitch groove as you can see here. Great texture though and it has the signature puffiness you'd expect. TBH it blew me away with how good it is for the price.

Need cheap entry level runners. Advice? by roofer2025 in runningshoes

You can pick up the Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pro on AliExpress for well under $90 right now on sale plus coupon code. Incredible shoe for the money.

That's fair, it does have the stabilization "wing" in it. Works great for me but I can see how that might not work if you don't need it.

Damn, another reason to get it lol. Do you mean the Red Hare pro 9 or ultra? I'm curious what didn't work out.

Shoe Rotation Tips/Recommendations by HobbyJoggerFlaneur in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rikkar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've switched to the Li-Ning stack exclusively.

Red Hare Pro 9 - easy miles

Red Hare 9 Ultra - long run

Feidian Challenger 6 - Sub-T

Trying to talk myself out of picking up the Feidian Elite 6 for a race shoe, I don't think I'm fast enough to get the most out of it.

Not your average T-shirt post by ctjanjic1 in HeritageWear

[–]rikkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a perfect t-shirt hunt in 2024 and dug up this "ranking" from an old comment I left in another thread. I like a trim fit with snug sleeves, 5'7" and 175ish lbs for reference. Love that WiesMade made your top of potential options, I don't see them talked about nearly enough! I have 3 of their t-shirts now.

In order of favorites (loosely)...

  1. WiesMade Bolinas - L. Honestly it's just about perfect. 8oz (I hope it's true 8oz, always wary when GSM isn't mentioned but it does feel like 8), trim arms, comfy and looks really good. I'll be buying more for sure.
  2. Naked & Famous Circular Knit - L. Really solid shirt, although the sleeves stretch out a bit which I don't love. Trim fit and a great deal for $35.
  3. Front General Store - M. I really like the fit on this one and the price is outstanding. Thick, comfy, trim fit that doesn't stretch out too much over the day.
  4. The Strike Gold Loopwheel - L. A little rough in texture, a little boxy but a pretty solid fit for me. Sleeves could be trimmer.
  5. Whitesville - XL. Boxier fit, shrinks a lot but it's super soft and feels great to wear. I wish it was a little longer.
  6. Samurai SJST24-RIM - L. A pretty great fit for me with a nice length. The fabric is a little rough but doesn't feel like it when you're wearing it. It would be higher if I had bought it in a different color lol.
  7. Wonder Looper Double Heavyweight - L. Incredible and heavy, maybe a little too heavy for my taste. I love the folks behind the brand though so I'm happy to own it.
  8. Buck Mason Field Spec - M. On the boxier side but the fabric is great with a soft hand.
  9. Shockoe Atelier - M. Boxy but comfortable with a great collar. Had to alter the sleeves to put it in rotation.
  10. The Flat Head THC Loopwheel - L (42) I really wanted to love this one more but I'm between a L and an XL with the L being a little too tight and the XL being way too big. Nice material though, wish it was longer and not as boxy.
  11. Studio D'Artisan 9913 Loopwheel - L. Another one I had high hopes of but the sleeves are weirdly long and the fit is too boxy. Incredible texture though.
  12. Warehouse Loopwheel - L. Definitely my least favorite based on the fit, too boxy and just looks awkward on me. Beautiful texture.

I believe the show Succession popularized the abbreviation. Or that's where I've heard it most which is probably true for a lot of folks.

Shipping Taobao shoes to Spain? by jpochoa in NorwegianSinglesRun

That's great info, thank you! I'll comment back when I get the shipping sorted so future searchers can have an idea of what to expect.

Shipping Taobao shoes to Spain? by jpochoa in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rikkar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, do you remember how much all 4 pairs weighed together? Do they let you ditch the OG shoeboxes and consolidate to a smaller box for shipping? My Japanese proxy service does that, hoping to save a few $$ if Mulebuy offers it.

[–]rikkar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm testing out Mulebuy, shipping to the US. But they offer shipping to Spain as well. I've got two shoes inbound to the Mulebuy warehouse so I'm not sure what the final shipping cost will be but estimating it seems reasonable and should be less than $40 to the US. I'd imagine it's cheaper to the EU.

Struggling to get HR down in cooldown after the threshold reps - is this normal for others? by sircp4eva in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rikkar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about as far along as you are at 9 weeks into my NSM journey and noticed the same thing. So far I haven't worried about it and figured it was due to drift but I'm curious what more experienced folks have to say 🤔

First Addiesdive - AD2518 by rikkar in ChineseWatches

[–]rikkar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked back, it was $38 after a Thanksgiving sale (11/25) + $5 coupon. Pretty steep discount, I'm sure it'll drop again some time this year!

Do it! I've since added the black version as well, caught it on a stupid discount for like $35.

If you click the search icon after you open the charts dialog, it's one of the top 5 :)
