/fa/ - Fashion

depends on a lot of things like the construction, type of leather, etc.

but yeah, leather is generally good for winter.

>>6916568
I'm deciding whether to buy a pair of black krisvanassche high top sneakers, but I need some justification because I already bought about 5 pairs of shoes this summer. But I don't have a lot of good shoes for winter so that would be a good reason to get them.

>>6916561
those are rly gash

>>6916561
The only thing that you need to watch out for is salt on the sidewalks, but that applies to most footwear.

>>6916579
fashion is gash, whats your point fuccboi?

>>6916582
thanks for the tip

>>6916589
if u dont like fashion y r u on a fashion board ? ;)

>>6916593
gash =/= something I dont like.
also OPs picture are pretty simple I don't understand why you think they're over the top. But gash has a lot of other meanings so explain yourself

>>6916595
gash just means bad m8 where the fuck are you from
"m8 that supreme hat is gash take it off"
"mcdonalds is gash lets go kfc"

>>6916597
someone get this guy a dictionary

>>6916597
Also, why are these bad? I personally love Balmain. Sage for double post

>>6916600
sorry u dont know slang r u the queen

>>6916603
they look mad cheap and tacky
like they are trying to look like "luxury sneakers" 4 rich kids to buy so they feel better than their m8s wearing nike but without any actual interesting design features to differentiate them from cheaper shoes
those in the OP lit look like they could be asos design with nicer materials

also too many details for how simple the shape is

>>6916608
I think of these as a replacement for geos to be honest. I prefer the smaller toebox and sole shape.
I guess what I'm saying is that they're supposed to look kind of goofy. There are a lot of details, but I think that they're subtle enough to work with the shape of the shoe.

Are you telling me you wouldn't wear these over nikes?

>>6916575

tbh it depends of what winter is like where you live.

if youre in a city where all the streets are cleared and you just walk to the subway/tube/metro then kva's would be fine...but if youre in like montreal where there is salt and snow and shit everywhere get some boots dude

like for me im just walking through rain so i can wear sneakers no problem generally

>>6916614
>Are you telling me you wouldn't wear these over nikes?
Yes
Even if they were the same price as Nikes
i dont think they look anything like geos, the shape is what makes the geos

>>6916621
alright.

>>6916618
>if youre in a city where all the streets are cleared and you just walk to the subway/tube/metro then kva's would be fine...but if youre in like montreal where there is salt and snow and shit everywhere get some boots dude
I'm in Germany, where winters have become uncalculable due to global warming. Most of the time it's just massive rain, but then suddenly there's half a meter of snow. Basically I wonder how bad the snow would be for the leather of high-end sneakers. I don't mind spending a lot, but I don't want them to be fucked up until spring '14, as I want to use them for longboarding, so they should be in good shape next S/S

>>6916635

the snow shouldnt be an issue, its more the rock salt thats used to clear sidewalks and roads that will basically disintegrate shoes

maybe considering finding a pair of sneakers that is more boot like, with minimal seams on the upper so there is less chance of water leaking etc, but of course the clunkier they get the harder it will be to stake in them.

idk i would say go for it and if they get fucked up, it might make them look interesting

plus if youre going to skate in them they dont need to be pristine anyways

>>6916600
I think the work you are looking for is "gauche" bray bray

>>6916635

>longboarding in balmain sneakers

not sure how I feel about this

>>6916643
thanks, user. your sound advice is always warmly appreciated.

>>6916651
yeah i mean you already look like a cunt for longboarding no need to wear horrible sneakers too init

>>6916648
nope. but thanks anyways bruh bruh

>>6916648
pretty sure he's looking for the word gash
gauche is different

>>6916665
if people would stop writing like illiterate 16 y.o. wiggers on here redundant discussions like this wouldn't even occur.

>>6916671
*tips trilby*

>>6916673
this has nothing to do with a sense of "class", but with sheer practicality. some people here are writing so bad I sometimes have a hard time deciphering what they are trying to say. also this is an international board with people from all over the world writing, most of which won't be familiar with certain slang terms.

>b-b-but muh m-murica

Then again, people writing like that usually don't have anything meaningful to contribute anyway, so there's that.

>>6916678
i've never seen a post on /fa/ that was hard to understand unless it was in a different language
4chan is an english-language website even if there are a lot of visitors from non-english speaking countries, it's silly to change the way you type just in case some people don't understand

>>6916685
>it's silly to change the way you type just in case some people don't understand
no it's not. it's user-friendly.
especially if the alternative is purposely trying very hard to sound like pic related.

>>6916690
>le why cant everyone type le classy like le me

>>6916690
nobody's trying to sound like that
don't be autistic just cause you aren't about that life

>>6916685
>i've never seen a post on /fa/ that was hard to understand unless it was in a different language
uhh ... have you even read this thread?

Thank you for saying what I always thought. It's annoying to constantly look shit up in urban dictionary just to find out that a sentence is utterly meaningless.

>>6916698
> It's annoying to constantly look shit up in urban dictionary just to find out that a sentence is utterly meaningless.

and I thought I was the only one...

>>6916695
you're totally right, noone is trying to sound like that.
they just end up sounding like that unintentionally.

>>6916694
I understand all those posts

>>6916701
if you find the meaning how can it be meaningless>?

>>6916705
so you knew what >>6916579 meant when he used "gash" and what >>6916589 meant when he used "gash", although both used the word with a different meaning? Then you are ahead of us all, obviously.

>>6916711
Sorry you can't keep up

>>6916717
you impled it

>>6916707
why do you imply I found meaning

>>6916720
if you find the meaning of a word on UD, it does not mean that the sentence in which the word was used was meaningful.

>>6916726
pls share an example

>>6916730

see >>6916579

>>6916735

>>6916741
exactly. the word has a meaning.
but the whole sentence is meaningless.

OP asked about the durability of leather sneakers during winter with a random pic of a high-end leather sneaker. he couldn't care less about whether some random person on the internet thinks those particular sneakers look good or bad (especially since the sneakers he wants to buy are kris van assche and not balmain), this comment does not add anything meaningful at all to the discussion, ergo it is meaningless.

>>6916750
damn you are coming of p anal bruv
someone posted a pic of some sneakers, someone said they didn't like them. That's pretty normal for this board. And you can see that the comment did actually create some discussion about them.

>>6916756
i didn't say that's not normal. I was just giving an example like you requested in >>6916730

>>6916756
>damn you are coming of p anal bruv
thanks for posting another example. A few months ago that sentence would have wasted a few minutes of my life on UD. Fortunately now I know that it's just bullshit.

>>6916774
What? No offence but I can't see what you wouldn't be able to understand about that sentence.

>>6916850
I speak English only as a second language and I can read the sentence, but I spend a fair amount on /fa/ and have done so for a couple years, and I can see how someone might have trouble understanding that sentence. half the words in that sentence are either misspelled, abbreviations or slang terms.

And I agree that excessive use of that kind of language is pretty annoying, not only because it's hard to understand, but also because I feel like I'm writing with someone who recently had a lobotomy, having trouble pronouncing words properly and finding it difficult to speak without drool dripping off his chin. Just my two cents.

>>6916905
I don't understand why someone with English as their second language wouldn't want to learn new words.

>>6916618
tfw live in montreal and there is salt and snow and shit everywhere

>>6917002
usually I do. but learning words like that has absolutely no purpose for me other than making fun of people talking that way. I'm just not around people who say "m8 that supreme hat is gash" or "damn you are coming of p anal bruv" much. I don't think that's a bad thing, either.

>>6917026
They serve the purpose of helping you understand different people. You will meet people who speak differently at some point, and understanding as much as possible is always good in my opinion.

Just out of interest what don't you understand about "damn you are coming of p anal bruv"?

>>6917032
when I'm around in english-speaking countries, it'll usually be around business colleagues who are (hopefully) talking different. if someone on the street talked to me like that, I'd not have a problem saying: "sorry, I don't understand a word you're saying, could you please repeat that sentence without chewing on a massive penis?".

also, I understand that sentence completely as I have pointed out, because I'm here a lot and learn that kind of stuff on the side. but I also see how other people wouldn't.

>>6916711
fuk off m8, I'm gonna plow your mum's gash.
