What’s Dappered Threads? It’s our forum. Launched in 2011, Threads has become a not too big, not too small, just-right-sized forum that doesn’t put up with snobbery. All thanks to the users and hardworking mods. Once a month, one of the mods from Threads provides us with a highlight package of the last few weeks.
For this Friday Challenge, Dappered readers were challenged to show off their favorite denim and sneaker casual combination, no t-shirts allowed!

It was great to see the wide variety of Dappered sneakers from Converse, to Opening Ceremony, to Keds, the aforementioned PF Flyers, and more. Check out all the entries here.

In this thread Dappered readers discuss their favorite shoes for Summertime and, yes… argue the merits of flip flops outside of the beach or pool. Share your personal favorite Summer shoes and weigh in on whether or not flip flops have become unfairly reviled.
Has the excitement and appeal of Record Store Day been all but killed by Hipsters and mainstream media, or is the shift and publicity ultimately good for art? Did you attend Record Store Day this year or did you skip out like a few Dappered readers?
