This amazing pair of Gustins prove you don’t have to go the heavyweight route to actualize your dream fades. Maryland’s Mark Acton shows in today’s Fade Of The Day, all you have to do is consistently wear them. Day after day, after day.

Mark’s Gustins come in on the lighter end of things at 13.6 oz. He’s owned the pair for 3 years, and gave them their first wash at the 6-month mark. He says they’ve had about 3 straight years of “hard road wear” and if that’s the recipe for this kind of fade success, then we’d all do well to take note.

Verging on a Fade Friday thanks to the wealth of high-contrast fades throughout (particularly the whiskers) and an overall unique character unto themselves, this pair is ready to be retired and framed on the wall.
