Vintage Style BURBERRY Shoes: A Kinda Sorta Guide (My Opinion, Mostly)
Right, so Burberry…it’s like, *the* name, innit? Proper posh. And their vintage shoes? Forget about it. We’re talkin’ style, baby. I’ve been eyeballin’ ‘em for ages, mostly drooling over ’em on Poshmark ’cause my bank account isn’t exactly screaming “Burberry shopping spree” right now.
First things first, there’s this *whole* vibe going on with vintage Burberry. It ain’t just shoes; it’s history, darlin’. You’re basically steppin’ into a time machine of checkered goodness. And honestly, the price? Yeah, can be a bit of a sting, especially if you’re chasing a specific style, but if you hunt around (and I mean *really* hunt, like a bargain-bin ninja) you can snag some decent deals. Poshmark seems to be the place to start, plus, you never know what kinda hidden gems are out there, right?
Now, I gotta say, the variety is mind-blowing. You got yer sneakers, obviously. The classic check pattern on a pair of kicks? Timeless. But then you see the slides… those open-toe Vintage Check Slides in the Burberry Archive Beige/White/Black/Red? Talk about a statement piece! Though, are slides *really* shoes? Debatable. I mean, you wouldn’t wear ’em to a fancy dinner, would ya? Unless you’re, like, *intentionally* being ironic, then go for it. Be brave.
And let’s not even get started on the pre-owned scene. Hundreds of stores selling vintage Burberry for men? Hold up, do the mens’ shoes look different? Probably not, honestly… Maybe the sizes are just bigger? I don’t know! This article is getting off track… Whatever, you might as well just wear whatever you like!
The thing that really gets me, though, is the… I dunno… *authenticity* of it all. You can walk into any department store and buy brand-new Burberry, sure. But a vintage pair? They’ve lived a life, y’know? They’ve probably seen things. Spilled a pint or two, maybe. Okay, maybe I’m romanticizing it a bit, but still!
One thing I’m still trying to figure out is the whole “designer sneakers” thing. Like, sure, Burberry makes awesome sneakers, but are they *really* worth the StockX price? I dunno, man. That’s a personal call. Me? I’m more of a “thrift store find” kinda gal. But hey, if you got the cash, flaunt it.
