OTZ-1 by OTeZI3300
Firstly the title is not some error in code, it is actually the name of this weeks product. Anayway onto the post.
Now I have a little problem. A problem that affects many men out there. My ankles are as big as a Twiglet; come to think about it they actually look like a Twiglet, so when it comes to sandals, I momentarily hesitate. But after one look at this sneaker/sandal concoction, all that doubt and uncertainty flew straight out the window.
This suede sneaker from OTeZI3300 is sure to get people asking the question: ‘Just what they hell are they?’ This style is known as the OTZ-1. It has an internal stretch sock membrane that contours the foot for maximum comfort, warmth and breathability while its anti-microbial cork footbed is anatomically designed to promote a healthy posture.
It comes in a variety of colours but we feel that the sand-colourway provides most value for the average chaps wardrobe. The Velcro toe-strap is a design feature that really drew us in, plus the minimal branding is something that appealed to us even more. Subtle and stylish- just how we like it.
Now onto the look……

GOOD LOOK
This first picture is of something I spotted whilst in Traid. For the uninitiated, it’s basically a franchise of charity stores that specialise in clothing. They have a special section in which they stock customised designs from customers garments that have been recreated and turned into new dynamic designs. A prime example is this stylish blue gingham T-shirt pictured above!
The second picture comes courtesy from my good friend Jerome. I spotted him rocking the new Adidas Ransoms. Adidas haven’t always done it for me personally, yet I feel they’re on to a winner with this series; tTouching on the shoe/trainer hybrid trend is a step in the right direction. Read More

Shoes, Shoes and more Shoes!
Firstly may we introduce you to our revamped Good Look/Bad Look. The pictures that are posted in Good Look/Bad Look aren’t supposed to look amazing, rather a reflection of my weekly observations. Now I’m not sure about you but taking a digital SLR picture of a bad look is pretty difficult (especially if the offender is sitting directly in front of you on the Central line). Consequently, the best way I can snap many of these pictures is through the use of my trusty iPhone, thus the quality suffers a little. Anyway the main premise behind this post is that it’s a visual diary so to speak, so we thought we’d gloss it up a little.
So enough of my self-convincing and onto this week’s lessons…

Apolis Activism Navy Cotton Cashmere Pullover
We don’t really do sportswear here at Individualism and to be honest, we’re not too sure why. Maybe it’s because it’s hardly the most elegant category in menswear or maybe it’s because wearing a hoody in East London doesn’t hold the most positive connotations. But like Will Smith’s lyrical masterpiece, we thought we’d switch it up.
This week’s ‘P.O.T.W’ comes from US brand Apolis Activism. The brand are famous for their red stitched cross which means: ’The sign of relief and an icon for all global citizens committed to quality and change. Apolis Activism applies contemporary design, premium fabrics, and an opportunity to share the value of Trade.’
Their ideals are certainly apparent in this modish navy hooded pullover. Boasting a French twill contrast placket and pocket trim as well as natural Caruso buttons carved from Tagua Nuts (I know it sounds like some sort of India Jones relic), this piece is ticks all the right boxes.
- Comfortable
- Understated
- Stylish

As always,
Stay Stylish
