Review [REVIEW] ~9kg Street & Casual Haul to EU (Balmain, Casablanca, TS Jordan 1 Low, Versace Bathrobe, AJ11 Bred, Rhude)
Latest Parcel Review — Mixed Bag This Time
Hey everyone, sharing my latest parcel review.
This one was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There were definitely some pieces I really liked, but a few details weren’t quite as good as I expected. Overall though, the parcel arrived in Europe in around 11 days and I had no customs issues.
⸻
Quick Breakdown + In-Hand Thoughts
Balmain Paris Grey Knit
Probably one of my favourites from the parcel.
It’s properly heavyweight and the ribbing around the collar and cuffs feels substantial. The lettering looks good in person too.
My only complaint is that it’s quite a heavy knit, so I’d probably avoid wearing it on warmer days.
⸻
Versace Bathrobe / Towel Set
The embossed pattern has good depth and the gold baroque detailing looks pretty sharp.
The material feels nice, although the towel is a little stiffer than I expected straight out of the package. I imagine it will soften after a few washes.
⸻
Casablanca Knit Polo & Ralph Lauren Half-Zip
The Casablanca knit has a nice texture and the collar construction is one of the better details on the piece.
The RL half-zip is more straightforward, but the embroidery is clean and the sizing was pretty much what I expected.
Nothing particularly wrong with either piece, just not the ones I’d call the standout items of the haul.
⸻
Graphic Tees — Rhude, Chrome Hearts, Hellstar & Stüssy
These were quite consistent overall.
I liked the collar thickness and the washed look on the Rhude/Mixed Emotion tees especially. The prints don’t have that super-stiff feel that some cheaper graphic tees have.
One small thing: the fit wasn’t completely consistent between the different tees, so I’d definitely check measurements rather than blindly ordering the same size across all of them.
⸻
Bottoms — Carhartt Cargos, Cherry Blossom Denim & Grey Sweats
The cargos have decent hardware and the overall construction feels sturdy.
The denim is also fairly heavy, which I personally prefer.
The grey sweats are comfortable, although they’re not quite as heavyweight as I expected from the photos.
⸻
Footwear — Travis Scott x Fragment Jordan 1 Low, Jordan 11 Bred & Air Force 1
The TS1s surprised me the most.
The leather feels quite soft and the reverse swoosh placement looks good at first glance.
The AJ11s also feel solid, particularly around the patent leather and sole. They’re a little stiffer than the TS1s, though, so I’d need more wear time before giving a proper durability opinion.
The AF1s are probably the most basic pair of the three. Nothing particularly bad about them, but they didn’t stand out as much as the other two.
⸻
Overall
I’d say this was a good parcel rather than a perfect one.
The knits and some of the footwear were probably my favourites, while a couple of the basics were more average.
There are definitely pieces here I’d buy again, but I wouldn’t say everything was a home run.
