    we still rock Lugz over here in Cali, the working class, workwear heads especially, very niche but still lookin’ fly in 2023💯

    I wore Lugz growing up because of the sponsorship of True Crime: Streets of LA. Always thought they were cool and wondered why they fell off. Thanks man

    I'm from NY and almost fell out when you said dudes used to wear their Timbs everywhere lol! I got so sick of seeing them everywhere even on the damn basketball court. Although I never owned a pair of Lugz I never really connected with the brand. And I agree that they should have branched and tried to become mainstream rather than relying on Source and Vibe ads to carry them.

    I'm thinking of buying a pair just to wear for shoveling snow and doing errands around the way. Never realized that Biggie, Nas, DMX, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan and other favorites of mine wore Lugz.

    I just randomly thought of lugz when my 15 year old son said he wanted timberlands and I said “you can get lugz” and he said what’s that and now I’m here. Thank you lol

    I remember lugz in the late 90s and the 00s. I just figured they fell off for the same reason as other streetwear brands (fubu, rocawear, etc)

      Another great brand that got ruined once they blew up. All these lines were at their best when they were more underground. Once the big garmento money got behind them the lines crashed and burned.

    I'm older now so I don't really care about looking like everyone else. Actually, I never really cared to. That said, I was just looking at a pair of Lugz Eevee boots that are 29.99 on Walmart and to be honest, the look like EXTREMELY great quality boots for winter right now. Plus I think they actually look good ... I only came on RUclips looking them up cuz reviews are important to me before I buy anything and they only have ONE verified purchase review. That's kinda sad. They really look worth way more than they cost. I bought a diff pair.. Ozark trail duck... they are high and LOOK like amazing snow and winter boots and have TONS of reviews but truth is, they're horrible.
    I really hate that the lugz aren't getting any acknowledgement cuz they ARE up there in quality like timberland. I'm from the 80s and 90s so I've worn the Tim's, I've worn fubu boots that looked like Tim's. And lugz. It's sad how if a brand just gets mentioned by the one right person they'll skyrocket weekender they really even good and if that one person w reach says something bad, true or not, it'll ruin them. The internet today . I really wanna get these boots but ONE review? I KNOW they're good quality but I just wish someone had reviewed or posted about that particular boot. I don't care if ppl like them or not, that isn't what's gonna make or break my purchase. I just wanna know how they fit, wear. . Feel.

    Never wore Lugz, had and still have Timbs. Timb wheats are still good quality but seems like Lugz are not well made now. I don't think they are even real leather. Sad to think that they fell out while Docs are still popular (and uncomfortable blister machines) and they never changed much as far as looks.

    I purchased a Set of Black lugz at Burlington store, in I was surprised at the Quality of the boot..for the price i paid it was a complete Steal.
    I know it's not a Timberland Boot. BUT When I wore them...Compliments every time..the Rich black nubuck gets them all the time..don't know why they not that Popular as Timberland. 😢 But I still like 'em..😂

    I still rock Lugz, til this day! I ordered four pairs a week back and they got to me yesterday noon. I love them still! Stylish and if you order a true work oair they last. The problem is ppl buy the $40 pair and wear them at work. Doesnt work that way. Knasas City still runs with Lugz. It was an era!. You have the cheaoer stylish boot and the bir more exoensive work pairs. Im only 30 YO and love them.

      Question I’ve been thinking of getting a pair of lugs probably some red ones. Which ones would you say are good for every day ware? I know you didn’t make this video, but you seem to know a thing or two about the booth so I thought I’d ask.
