KEEP These In Mind

100% Cotton Canvas Hi-tops inspired by traditional, indigenous woven-art – technically these come in women’s sizes, so if you are a Men’s 10(US) and under, you’ll be fine with size conversion. Otherwise, for guy like me with size 12, these are not for you. I am showing a few of the styles that do not have wool products in them.

Dudes can be feminists. KEEP’s new hi-tops pay homage to age-old traditions and the handiwork of women everywhere. Stripes abound in woven Mayan fabric straight out of the highlands of Guatemala and hand quilted morning star pieces light the way on our latest Guerra offerings. Tip your hat to the labor of ladies around the world, sit back and get inspired. 100% cotton canvas. Molded rubber sole. 

DBs Etiquette Recommendation: Many people believe that harvesting wool does not involve any cruelty. A few of the styles do utilize wool. For info on why not to support products made from wool, click here. 

Hi-Top Sneaks & Low-Brow Eats

Spring is coming and John Fluevog Men’s Shawn Hi-Tops and Adams are pretty sweet. Totally vegan, synthetic leather details with a crepe rubber sole – these shoes are creeper-inspired and were made using water-based glues. That’s good eco-news to me. On sale right now on at Habitat Shoe Store or Zappos !

FOODSWINGS

If you are ever in Brooklyn drinking until 1:30 am, and you get that drunk-hunger, Foodswings – masters of indulgant vegan junk-food – are open until 2am on Friday and Saturday, 12am on weekdays (closed Monday). Thats right – drown your drunken sorrows in soy milkshakes, buffalo sauce, or gravey-drenched french-fries. Sometimes, there’s nothing better! Menu.

DB’s Etiquette Recommendation: It’s only ok to get grease on your shirt at the END of the night. Just make sure you share your fries and tip generously. Nothing is worse than a stingy drunk.
