Fade of the Day – LVC 1966 501 (~3 Years, 14 Washes, 2 Soaks)

Sandlot-core fans rejoice: today’s Fade of the Day is here to deliver some classic ’60s fades for you.

This pair of LVC 1966 501’s come to us by way of Evo Ronald Jørgenen of Denmark who says he wore them daily for the first 15 months. After that, this pair was worn once weekly, so as to prolong their life. To wit, they’ve required several repairs to the pockets, seat, and more.

Still, what Evo has achieved is a very classic, vintage look with this pair with subtle fades befitting a ’66 pair.
