What's in The Based Update's Mailbox feat Radii Footwear

We have our second footwear review in the line of 'WITBUMs' aka What's in The Based Update's Mailbox! We got some more footwear, yes footwear! Not too long ago we got an incredible package from Radii Footwear! This is yet another pair of kicks in the 'Straight Jacket VLC' series. Please continue below to see what they hooked us up with!!

Packaging: The packaging from Radii Footwear comes together perfectly and even more as I statedin the last review, the packaging itself is unique! When it comes to inside the box, everything is as footwear always is; you have the shoes under some paper and then extra padding with more paper inside of the shoes. But, lets get to the box, it resembles a cereal box with a Radii twist! With sayings like "Jumpstart your steeze," "The Footwear of Champions," "Fresh Kix Guaranteed," and even small marked percentages of "100% Jealously and Leather Freshness" you have to love the effort to make the box of the shoes stand out!

Design: This overall shoe design from Radii Footwear is what caught my attention from the very beginning. With this particular shoe style, the 'Straight Jacket VLC,' it's not just the 'White Warm Grey' color scheme that already catches a second look; its the side zipper, the multiple straps... its the whole shoe! This shoe will enhance any outfit you have because its just enough of a shoe, but not too much which is what makes it perfect! Then with this shoes colors you can practically wear it with anything! Obvious observations are that this shoe is unique, stylish, and now at least for me, a necessity. Radii really did a great job by making a shoe with the concept of a straight jacket. A comment I mentioned in the last review I really like and I agree with is, "they are beyond a rating, they're a representation of a status."

Quality: The quality from Radii Footwear continues on with only great things to say in the Straight Jacket VLC series. I have worn these shoes multiple times on various occasions and they are nothing but comfortable. The normal break in on the first day or two is normal, but after that you are all set! There is over the top padding all around the back of the shoe where you would feel the most wear and tear and moving forward, when you fully lace up, buckle up and zip up your feet are going nowhere! I mean these shoes are ready to go! Very comfortable and they seem to be very durable as well!

What's Left: Usually in this part of the review I would talk about accessories, but in this case again, it's a shoe review so lets dig in to what I think is an extra! To take your shoe to the next level Radii includes an extra strap with a different color and laces to match, so you can easily switch your top strap and laces to a another color! Its simple and useful because you can change colors to get a different look from the same shoe! Even though it fits in with the overall color scheme you can make a quick edit and make it look like a different show. Going back to the cereal box in the packaging, Radii Footwear continues its effort to take it to the next level with an actual spoon on your shoe! As you can see below the tag is a spoon to go with your cereal box! I just want to applaud Radii for that because I pay attention to those little things and I think its genius! Also included in this package were stickers that took effort as well with Radii's takes on iconic logos like Gatorade, Trojan, Los Angeles Kings and more!

Is it Approved? Of course it is, I will be getting a few more pairs myself in the near future! Go get yourself a new pair of shoes! It's just a few days after Christmas, so go and spend that Christmas money your Grandparents gave you! As a side-note, if you like crazy color combinations or you like to just keep it plain there are over 25 color schemes for you to choose from on the website! Spread the word!

Another BIG Shoutout to Radii Footwear for lacing me up!
