I think they are different enough to justify having both! Love them. I don't think you would ever regret having a plain black go to pair, even if Hawaiian is similar.

Thank you! This is my thought process as well. While they look similar they are still two completely different styles and colors, of course. :D

You will never have too many IM Bekkets. To add more varieties, maybe a pair of all leather black Brian instead?

I'm perplexed by the Brian for some reason...I wonder if I'm the only one that finds them kind of hip-hop looking? Not a negative thing so much as a styling thing for me, like I won't wear them right. I don't know what it is.. :thinkin:I think it's a first impression that has just stuck. I hear they are cloud comfy too! Thank you for your input!!

I saw some discussion of the Bekett if it is jet black or dark gray black. Yours looks like has some variations of Blacks which makes it interesting. As the above mentioned, Brian would be a great options as well since it is all leather and will fit your feet like gloves. I tried on both but decided to keep Brian since they are SO comfy to wear, compare with the suede Bekett. No matter what, you have mile long legs and pull off any shoes you wear. :smile1:

Yes! The variation is awesome. I thought for sure they'd just be jet black all over but I was pleasantly surprised to see the different types of black represented. :yes: I love them more because of that. Have you ever shared any mods of your Brians? I rarely see outfits with them! Only a close up of the shoe. They really do sound fabulous and so comfy! And thank you for your very sweet compliment :hugs:

I think they're too similar... how about the cream/off white ones? They're also pretty easy to wear and really look different from the ones you already have. The Brians are nice too and less similar, but also black and I would go for something really different.

I saw the cream ones at LaGarconne! Kinda bummed they're not the stone ones from the previous Season(s). I wish they had an Anthracite type color...something with greys! Then I'd be in trouble. Or if they brought back the cobalt blue ones. I would just :faint:. Thank you for your input!!

They both look great, but I do agree that you don't NEED both pairs....but...

Haha, I love your reply. That "but..." says a lot! I played dress up in my closet last night and I think I'm going to keep them. There's a huge difference in the feel of both shoes. I find the Hawaiian ones are more casual (I think it's the print) for shorts and cute, quick outfits whereas I can see myself wearing the black Beks with some of the more refined looking pieces within my minimalist, Helmut Lang aesthetic. Leather pants, zara skorts, AW ruched skirt...things like that..and a lot of black and white. :yes: Thank you for your help! :smile1:

Finally got hold of the Bobby in taupe. My order was cancelled by Matches 3 months ago as they couldn't locate them after I placed my order. Was so disappointed that time. When I knew they've restocked them, I couldn't resist to get them at once. All pictures are originally shot by my phone with no retouching.

My IM collection grew so fast in the past 3 months. Guess I better stop for some time. ;)

love your Bobbys! Do you like your Baltimores? I'm about to buy them (navy/red ones), they're on hold for me right now but something in me is not sure. I like the sporty look, that's different from my other IM sneakers. The canvas is also nice and easier than suede. The only minus: I would only wear them in summer (and maybe a few times in winter) and I already own 4 pairs of IM sneakers... Every outfit the Baltimore would be nice with, the others will too. But they just got a completely different, sporty, look! Help! :p

Yes, Baltimore is good for Summer as the look and feel is lighter and more sporty. I love the way it looks. The only no good is, they are not as comfy as the Bobbys. I found the canvas and insoles are rather stiff. Could be better after several wear I believe. I have no problem in having both as they are in very different color tone. If you like the red/navy combo and the other IM are in different shades, why not give a try?

Thanks! I ordered them, was too much in doubt so I'm gonna try them on and see! They should be arriving in a few days. Do you wear yours much?

Glad you are keeping both :) I absolutely love my black ones....they were pretty much my go to shoes when im not working...even in the summer lol
Although lately I've been trying to make use of my other shoes...what's the point of buying if I don't wear them....(don't answer that...lol)

Great! Do let us know how you like them. I only wore them several times as it has been raining in my place since April. I don't want to ruin them so fast as mine is a beige combo.

Thanks for convincing me :D

I received the Baltimores a few days ago and I really like them. I was a bit on the fence since I like my other IM sneakers more, but they don't go as well with my summer outfits and I really wanted another pair of wedge sneakers. Bobbys in a light colour would also work but in that case I prefer the more sporty Baltimore since I already have Beketts in a light colour and dark Bobbys. The Baltimores are really different and fun and sporty, I like that for a casual look. The canvas is easy too (for stains...) and I like the really soft leather on the inside. They are really comfortable, I think they are a little bigger than the other sneakers. I have a bit more room length wise and I think they're also a bit less narrow (not sure since I don't have wide feet). It's a small difference though, I'd still buy all sneakers in 38.
