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!
