Hold on to your indigo caps, it’s time for another Fade of the Day! Jason from NYC sent us his pair of Oni Denim 546ZR‘s at five months in and two soaks, and they have a lot of character to show for it. This is a pivotal moment in a pair of jeans life span as the indigo hue starts to lighten and the true fade marks start to take shape, as can be seen here with the distinct formation of some tight honeycombs and pocket fades throughout.

As far as how they were achieved, Jason tells us he pretty much rides his motorcycle to work, sits behind a computer and occasionally fixes that bike on the weekends and not much else. Whatever it is, keep it up and these things will be Fade Friday worthy before the year is over.
