/fa/ - Fashion

i bought trainerendors 2day le happy face

w2c black hightops (perhaps with white trimmings and such) for cheap?

for sneakers generally, what's the best color scheme

-all black
-all white
-black with white features (soles, laces, etc.)

>>7035957
> best
you're fucking retarded. just buy the ones that you like/work with your wardrobe

>>7035957
you mean most versatile?

>>7035962
versatile = basic
prove me wrong

>>7035967
i have no intention to
was just wondering what the guy meant with "best color scheme"

Just bought these Loake Churchills. I like them from every angle, except this one. The toe looks way to narrow for my liking - I was expecting something rounder.

Is it just me, or does it make my shoe look like I kick shit for fun?

Any suggestions for a quality shoe with a rounder toe?

>>7035957
>-all black
looks basic as fuck but it allows you to wear a non black/white top
>-all white
works the best if you wear all black clothes
>-black with white features (soles, laces, etc.)
you can't wear a coloured top but it looks really good with a white tee

this is just what i have noticed but you can obviously do whatever you want since you're clueless and dress like shit anyways

>>7035967
different words, lol! to easy troll

>>7035981
I think that would look fine when paired with the right trousers, but Allen Edmonds Park Avenues are a captoe that's a good deal rounder.

>>7036008

I want something versatile, to wear smart casual. I was going to pair it with black jeans (might sound whack but its my thing).

I'm based in the UK, so AE is expensive to ship and awkward to return :( anything british based ~£200?

>>7036016
Tods are British, but idk how much they cost. (not the original replier).

>>7036016
Not a britbong sorry.
You guys don't have any AE stores over there though?

Can anyone recommend sneakers that will stand up to being worn daily without falling apart, and that are also moderately fashionable? Also these Nike Rosches and Flyknits people recommend look flimsy as hell. Budget is like max $150. I was thinking getting some of those suede New Balances. What's the build quality on those like?

>>7036035
>sneakers
>not falling apart
sorry that doesn't exist

>>7036032
Unfortunately not. Just looked, at it'd cost $480 to get a pair of Park Avenues shipped to the uk. And would take about 8 weeks!

Is there any reason to buy the original Flyknit and not the Flyknit Lunar Soles?

/r/ing fits w/ grey suede geos

superior geobasket model imo

>>7036035
>CPs
how fucking new are you

>>7036203
>CPs
>max $150
>buying used CPs
lel
just save monies and buy THE GLORIOUS GEOS

I read the geobasket era is coming to an end, and that they are on their way out in terms of popularity.

What do you think will be the next luxury sneaker trend? Giuseppe? KVA? Or is it still going to be Geobasket domination?

>>7036164
they're from two seasons ago, right? i haven't seen them anywhere since. and i think they were like 25% more expensive as well.
current season black matt leather, with "normal" black leather detailing is looking pretty good.

>>7036210
lurk more

>>7036274
Those are one of the best colorways I've seen

>>7036274
there are def some this season too i saw them instore, and yeah they were more expensive

and yh i rly like the matt ones too

pic unrel

need some slim black boots for under 200, no chelseas please. Does anyone have experience with Doc Pascals?

Adidas slvr?

should i get white flyknits?

>>7036780

flyknit lunars or trainers?

Still looking for some interesting white lows
Anyone got any suggestions?

btw theres a little sale on cp's here

>>7036780
What are these? Where to buy? They look nice.

>>7037491
>Adidas slvr?
>What are these?

seriously

>>7036164

pretty hard to find, amost every fit is with the black/white colorway

>>7036780
I love them but is the metal on the tongue blank? kinda puts me off

Although I could scribe something on there myself which wud b pretty cool

I'm looking for a pair of white hi/mid tops. AF-1s are too chunky for me but something like Raf Velcros or MMM Paint Splatter.

>>7037622
Same question, anything that aren't CP's?

>>7037564
>307€ for CP lows
>sale
lel that's more than retail at porter and others

>>7037638
Just seen them in the link you posted, thanks. They are very nice. Might grab them if no other suggestions.

>>7037672
I was surprised how pricey these were too

>>7035982
>works the best if you wear all black clothes

not true.

>>7036780
someone just told me that the quality is really bad

>>7037265

>>7037682
Nah that's just a shitty site... you can score the basic lows on ebay for ~200€

>>7036307
Rick is always related

>>7037713
Good to know

I'm looking for some black hi tops. Budget is max. €150.

Was thinking about the adidas slvr hi tops, but someone just told me that the quality is really bad. What about these?

http://www.allsaints.com/men/footwear/allsaints-blaze-hi-top/?colour=5&category=315

Anything else?

>>7035939
Quick question:
What the fuck do you like about those shoes? Other than brand name.

>>7037717

although all saints have nice designs and fairly high prices, they are usually pretty bad quality. especially not recommended for items like shoes which will go through a lot of wear. all saints knitwear is usually good though and so are their jackets (if not a bit overpriced)

>>7036032
trickers or john lobb but those r more expensive
try sum Italian ones maybe Prada and ferragamo have nice shoes
testoni also

Where can I buy some all white raf velcros. Also open for suggestions any other shoes similiar in aesthetics.

What do you guys think of the black and white CPs? I see a lot of debate for monochrome white and black, but I personally like these the most, I think they mix the best of both black and white into one. White one I think looks stupid unless you're wearing all black, black ones look good, but again, with mainly black outfits and I'm not entirely down for the all black.

>>7037837
Try looking/asking in BST threads. Sometimes pop up on eBay and SuFu.

Uhhh should I buy CPs /fa/?
Uhh should I buy geobaskets?

STOP BEING A FUCKING SHEEP AND BUY SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY APPEALS TO YOU INSTEAD OF JUST DOING WHAT THE INTERNET TELLS YOU. FUCK.

>>7038407

>>7038407
fa is srsly the most insecure board
people get all jiggety about buying a black hoodie like it's a big fashion deal

>>7037854
i have the hi version of those and they are sick. would def recommend

w2c some vintage CPs? not that bothered about used/new as long as they arent beaten to shit

I need to get my first pair of /fa/ sneakers. All I have right now are vans and some gazelles. My max budget is about 200 dollars. I'd like a low profile sneaker with some pretty plain colors. Grey or black

Any suggestions?

>>7036035
Would recommend copping New Balances. Definitely hardwearing, especially the 710s, 1500s and 1300s. eBay is your best bet for cheap. Running shoes in general would work because they're made to take abuse. Asics Gel Lyte III and Saucony Grid 9000 for example

Putting my boots all up in your shoe thread.

>>7037655
Never been a fan.
Go on some sneaker boutique sites (Bodega, Kith, Renarts, etc.) and find what you like

>>7037713
You are comparing the price of brand new to used ones.
Also the CPs on Yawn's link are newe models. They're even more expensive on thecorner for example.

good site for used sneakers? wanna cop some CPs

>Cop or not
http://www.6pm.com/radii-footwear-hampton-slim-black-black-oiled-leather

hey i know this isn't really a boot thread but i was hoping somebody could take a look at these. i was thinking of the dark brown color but i'm worried it will look weird with most other colors.

how does flyknit trainers do in the rain? should i even bother? What b some gud waterproof shoes or something to wear in a full waterproof outfit?

pls respond

>>7038673
nice taste

JUST KIDDING LOL

>>7035982
>you can't wear a coloured top but it looks really good with a white tee
ugh what?

not true

>>7036242
Eternal geobasket dominion.

hello /fa/, this is my first post here. i was looking for some new shoes that are skinny like those Vans or Toms people wear.

i usually buy vans because theyre cheap but i dont want to buy the same looking shoe again.

so what are some shoes that look like those that are relatively cheap? $60 max, $50 preferred

i love you guys thanks

Thoughts on these?

>>7038968
Keds, Tretorn, PF Flyers, Superga

>>7036096
the trainers look better

>>7038856
Pretty much every part of them apart from around the heel are full of little holes. Gr8 for ventilation and comfort but not waterproof at all. I never wear mine in the rain.

cop or not

>>7038968
Adidas (ZX 750), New Balance (574, 373), Nike Roshe ($60 after $10 off coupon you get for signing up for Foot Locker VIP)

w2c shoes

where the fuck can i buy white sk8 his in canada?

>>7038655
CPs obvs. Acne, Visvim, etc. Patience on eBay should yield results

Otherwise: Reebok Classic Leather, New Balance x J Crew, Nike Roshe Runs, Nike Air Max, etc.
again, like I said earlier, find some sneaker boutique websites and poke around

>>7039178
>>7039178
free shipping on the roshe? if not might as well go zappos.

>>7039216
I think their website is free shipping but should be a store in your local mall

>>7037706
Oh well. Just bought that exact pair on ebay for 75. Can't go wrong. :)

>>7039206
are classic leathers /fa/?

Just got some CPs. Arrived today, how long do they take to break in? They're pretty snug, anyone got a bunch of fits with CPs?

>>7037537

lol @ this 35 year old manlet trying to rock rick

anyone got solovairs? how do they fit?

>>7039234
sure
but never worry if something is /fa/, do what feels right

>>7039246
be patient, give it some time. They should be snug as they adapt to your feet

>>7039272
I appreciate that.

Does anyone on here credit for their cps? I was wondering what leather treatment works best. I have some mink oil I use for my boots, but the leather used to make common projects feels different and less porous. I'd like to be able to wear my cps for the next 5+ years, I'm not trying to make them appear ratty within the first, I get the "beater" thing but it's not for me. Thanks guys.

>>7039292
Are you me?

>>7036242
I doubt they are on their way out...when they get name dropped by someone other than a$ap, maybe

I can't think of a replacement atm, geos are just too sexy, easy to wear, recognizable and versatile

Why do these get me so hard

>>7039308
they were in the goddamn Zendaya video shut the fuck up

>>7039340
probably the colorway. Reminds me of GATs. New Balance and the Adidas ZX line have similar colorways on certain sneakers

What are those dbss sneaks that mamma dod wears?

>>7039177
w2c?

>>7039351
to be fair, they probably dressed her up in costume shit they just had around. I wouldn't doubt her having the money for them though.

>>7039387
Why would they have teenage girl sized geobaskets lying around?

I need some -$100 hi-tops.
I was thinking about going for chucks in all black
are there any better alternatives?

>>7039387
they don't just dress these stars up in shit they have lying around, people are paid to create outfits for them

>>7039177
bump

please help me find white high tops for $200 or less that don't look like shit

Found these in my bro's wardrobe. Like 5 years old, said I could have them.
What does effay think? They're a bit bulky, but otherwise pretty dope imo.

>>7039502
probably not. you get what you pay for. if you really want cheap beaters go ahead. not worth it for the long haul
>>7039407
eBay some hi-tops. I'm not a huge fan of chucks, it's hard to wear them without making your fit look immature. If you can't find anything else that interests you, look into Converse First-String hi-tops. They're made to last longer and i prefer them over chucks. If you must get chucks, consider all white

>>7035939
are toebox moccasins /fa/? i love to use moccasins and slim fit jeans, its like the basis of my outfit

>>7039528
not feeling them at all. i like chunky weird shoes that toe the line between ugly and /fa/ and i think these are a little too dad

>>7039580
I found some black generic surplus that I think looks all right. Is there much of a difference between "Generic Surplus" and "Generic Man?"

>>7039633
nah. they're alright i guess but they look like they went for four or five different looks, did none of them well, and just consolidated. I don't dig them.

I'm having a hard time trying to find a shoe I can wear casually to work, that can wear as an alternative to my boots. I generally wear chinos, and every shoe I find is suede, which I feel won't work in the winter. Suggestions? Bonus points if it's from NB because I get 50% off.

Pic related - My current shoes

>>7040075
yeah.
that's not really all that much money. You want high quality sneakers, you're generally talking >$300 brand new. I.E. Lanvin, CPs, Acne, Saint Laurent, etc.
I was referring to the construction, which is likely acceptable. For the lower price you sacrifice the quality of the materials used to create the product as well as the quality of the craftsmanship that goes into creating the product

>>7040067
Can you please suggest something for me, I've been looking for 3 days straight, I honestly have no idea what is good?

>>7040166

how "quality" can the material really be? I don't doubt CPs might be made with better material but not enough to justify that crazy gap in price. It's mostly outrageous markup from having a hype brand.

That being said, I think I agree that the Adidas in particular looked pretty cheap.

>>7040123

20. I love spectators. I realize they look try hard, but most of my outfits are pretty modest. My shoes are always the things that "pop" in my outfits.

Not for me. Sister have been wanting them and I'm planning to get some for her birthday.

She's around 5'2 and pretty skinny, so I dont think anything chunky would look very good?

>basing your taste in basic shoes because a group of dadcore plens also enjoy them

IT doesn't subtract from the aesthetic value

Do primarily black and dark shoes not go well with indigo jeans? I copped a pair of Clae Strayhorn's to be my beat-em-up sneaker and noticed I looked a bit funny with my deep indigo jeans and darkish red shirt. Is it honestly just me? Are the sneakers too boring with no contrasting features? Or are the colors just clashing in general?

can't wait for common projects ss14

>>7040419
>>7040419
These are the sneakers.
Don't be fooled by the picture. They are black, not a light black.
Shirt is this one and I doubt you need to see jeans.

>>7039272
Where could I buy this specific reebok shoe? reverse image search isn't giving me anything

>>7040425
>mfw af-1 inspired
>i have no face
also you can see some in the other picture in the center table with black and brown accents.

>>7040428
(from alternative apparel since they have the only shirts that fit me)

But it looked a bit off to me, but I'm not sure if that is because I have always worn converse with that contrast stitching or what.

I want to buy these for winter

cop or not?

does anyone know w2c a shoe that looks like pic related? Basically a nb shoe without the obnoxious branding

>>7040654
those are common projects

>>7040654
those are CPs bruv

>>7040654
fuck i can't wait for the cp af1s to drop

>>7040671

ew why is the rubber showing
those look like walmart shoes

ur better off buying actual af1s

>>7040698
e p i c

>>7040654
I honestly find that runners need to have a brand on them because they just look cheap without one. I love minimal sneakers but that's just how I feel about runners. Those CPs are pretty much uber high quality walmart sneakers.

>>7040680
Clark's

>>7037398

>>7038407
>>7038485
ppl just want reassurance that they're making a good purchase from those they perceive to be more knowledgeable, i don't rly see that as bad

more of a human trait than an exclusive /fa/ trait imo

>>7040486
>yfw they were 50% off at ssense
use ebay m8 they aren't uncommon

>>7040698
Quality mother fucker, do you understand it? You can resole CPs, af1s get thrown out and replaced.

>>7040716
asking strangers on the internet is not reassurance
if people dont know how to spend their own money then give it to someone else.

there isn't a gene for 'uncertainty'

>>7040723

so

i own cps as well

a lot of their models still look like walmart tennis shoes

>>7040727
How is it not reassurance? I mean sure 4chan isn't the most credible place but if you sort through the bullshit you can get some decent advice. If you don't know how to spend your own money you should educate yourself to know what to do with it. You're so clean cut and narrow minded.

>>7040727

nobody asked for ur stupid nerd opinion

>>7040740
not walmart, more like adidas rips offs (what most of my pleb friends refered to them as)

>>7040785
just go to /b/ and have fun, you're just embarrassing really.

>>7040791
that doesn't mean its reliable or meaningful...
something like brainless consumption ratified through empty reinforcement?

>>7040791
O-okay, Pic related. Does the size vary between styles or something?

>>7040802
do not buy those

>>7040744
it's reassurance in that you're looking to fuel your own ugly consumption by throwing your liabilities on the shoulders of someone that doesnt actually care. Something i dont consider reassurance.

>you should educate yourself to know what to do with it
there is a difference between that and asking strangers for their opinions.
>something like independently formulating a conclusion opposed to requesting spoonfuls.
idc though since you're looking to argue obviously.

>>7040804
Whats the problem m8? Idk I just dig the strap.

>>7040805
I'm just high and don't want to go to sleep. I don't mean to be a dick.

>>7040804
Also it actually doesnt display it like that.

>>7040810
the problem is the strap, let go of your steampunk fantasy

>>7040796
i didn't say it was reliable or meaningful, ppl just want corroboration

you don't rly need or rigorous validation for a clothes purchase either imo it means very little in the grand scheme of things so it doesn't need 2 b meaningful

My dad wears shoes like that, he's a 65 yo Jew. Is that what you're going for?

>>7040825
do you think support which isnt reliable is meaningful or worthwhile?
empty corroboration isnt something worth soliciting.
having said that i dont think people actively look for empty reinforcement but rather dont know of other means to educate themselves.
.... or maybe the will to consume is greater than the will to understand?

>you don't rly need or rigorous validation for a clothes purchase either imo it means very little in the grand scheme of things so it doesn't need 2 b meaningful
point being...?
i think this is just a difference in perception...
maybe akin to brainless consumption.

>congrats u have diagnosed the greatest malady of the age emperor tunrleft
this facetious remark is kindve telling of your insecurity .___.
consuming without thought is not an obligation.

Probably going to get the brown leather version of these soon.

Cop or not?

>>7040892
why do you want their perspective, isn't your own good enough?
idk perhaps i just dont subscribe to this paranoia of random peoples perception because i knocked my head when i was younger...?

but tbh if you arent comfortable with your own justifications and intentions (especially with something as personal as dressing/composing yourself) and need to seek haven in others peoples ideals then perhaps take a moment to reflect and put your wallet down.

>>7040918
Maybe some people actually appreciate having a second opinion? A lot of people, myself included, don't NEED another perspective, but it helps to see what others think. Whether they know you or not, whether they know if it will fit your style, your personality, your body type. Isn't it better to get the opinions of anons who you "relate" with? Granted, I don't know any of these people. But the time I've spent on this board has shown me that these anons have similar tastes to mine. Their faceless opinion does matter, while maybe not enough to be the deciding factor, but it does have some effect on me.

My perspective is absolutely good enough, but shit I won't like when I say if I'm having second guesses about a cop, and I get 3 people saying DON'T, 1 of which actually gives an explanation as to why not, it will push me towards a no. Plus, sometimes we don't know the quality of a product and if a few people tell me it is shit, then I will be moved to rethink the purchase, and research the product more.

>>7040915
sure, i like mine. they fit a little tight though.

>>7040949
if you dont need it then why?
how can a stranger know yourself better than you know yourself? their incomplete knowledge can only confound your complete.
give yourself more credit, i think everyone has a unique angle and no one completely sympathises with anothers perception, especially something so intricate.

i dont care but i dont think it's a good idea to let random opinions which are probably not meaningful or accurate dictate your life otherwise your end up second guessing everything and kind of rely on it...idk you're saying one thing and then contradicting it...
if you don't need it then why?...you're no better with it given the circumstance, if anything it seems like you're a burden. Perhaps try understanding your own perspective before requesting random peoples dictation which may/may not represent you.
so in the end you may avoid representing a conglomerate of faceless figures opposed to your own real?

idk again maybe my perception is weird but it seems like a real deleterious waste of time to me.

>Plus, sometimes we don't know the quality of a product and if a few people tell me it is shit, then I will be moved to rethink the purchase, and research the product more.
this is what you call research, many academics and respectable people indulge in it. It usually gives a meaningful/reliable view (if not you can research more).
so maybe in the future you can look to your own wealth of knowledge opposed to seeking solice in a pool of faceless figures.

yes or no's work with non-affectionate things, like facts or maths or other ubiquitous shit but something as subjective as design isn't a yes or no thing.
this is seriously some MFA shit.

Cop? Just want some nice minimal black sneakers.

>>7040999
if they're real cheap. otherwise get ones that are all black or gum soles.

>>7040994
how would you suggest we improve /fa/?

i need new basic shoes because my ugly old shitty allstars are disintegrating. i can afford maybe one good pair but i'm not sure what to look for. i need basic, versatile, everyday-wear shoes that won't kill my legs.

what would work with both dark blue jeans as well as with black pants?

pic related, it's my shitty ugly torn old jeans-colored allstars.

>>7041008
those jeans should be your immediate concern

>>7041011
it only looks baggy because it's from a weird sitting angle. they're nice and skinny.

>>7041018
If they look that god awful to look down on then I know that you're lying. Post a front on to prove me wrong.

Also, they dont have to be skinny to be good, just not disgusting.

>>7041001
I like the white, I think that it'd bring a nice contrast with black jeans/jacket.

>>7041003
for every fuccboi that doesnt know how to spend his/her money, send that money to me instead and let it be my salary.
i will cop more sruli recht and you will never see a penny of it.
in the upcoming robot uprising i will make sure to gown every man in state of the art sruli anti-AI so as to obscure us from their anatomical recognition scans.
we will a-mass a horde of limp wristed nerds weilding unorthodox horse leatherd guns to destroy the robots while their scanners detect nothing but hairy cactuses shooting meterite pellets.

this is the true fate of /fa/ V___V

>>7040994
>this is what you call research, many academics and respectable people indulge in it. It usually gives a meaningful/reliable view (if not you can research more).

I know what research is, you don't need to speak to me as if I'm retarded. And that's the point, we always need a review of products we are interested in. Does it matter whether it comes from anon, or from some random fucker on his review blog?

If I never have anyone to tell me I'm wrong, how will I ever know? We can't be so egotistical to only listen to our own perspective, and think of it as absolute. Outside influences ARE important.

>if you dont need it then why?
>how can a stranger know yourself better than you know yourself? their incomplete knowledge can only confound your complete.

Yes, you're right. No one can know me better than myself. But you can't assume that every stranger whose opinion I ask for is going to confound my own. Sometimes strangers, and anon especially in this case, can be blunt and tell you you're fucking up.

All I'm saying is self-doubt can be an issue for people, but having absolutely no doubt is worse. If you never second guess yourself, then you're never wrong. You'll never grow.

>>7041054
Or Inaisce :-3

>>7041024
fine. i don't see how this is even relevant and i don't even have money for both shoes and new jeans, but if that's what it takes to get some shoe advice around here then here you go. also turns out my phone camera is fucking atrocious.

>>7041090
fuck inaisce

>>7041096
why the fuck?

>>7041093
hahahahaha

>>7041093
your camera phone is jewel compared to those jeans man.

Just get some NB's

>>7040858
what are those? w2c

>>7041087
research isn't limited to anons and review blogs.

design isn't like maths or spelling. there is not a objective right or wrong, there's only things you like and dont like. it doesn't mean everyone wont like it or not like it. hence everyones perspective is different but equally as correct - not like maths.
it's not being egotistical, rather pragmatic and/or confident.

in regards to shaping myself my own opinion is absoloute, it's the one i consider most important - if im not comfortable then i wont do it, whats comfortable it what i think is comfortable --> own opinion bes opinion.
outide influences exist but are not important, why would you adjust yourself to someone elses standards when in the end it's not a comfortable position for you...unless what makes you comfortable is conforming to someone elses ethos then maybe but i think it'd be impossible to conform to everyone.

i never said it'd be confounding you might share a similar interest/perspective but yuo'll differ somewhere else, the differences in regards to artistic manifestation are confounding.
blunt=/=right

>aving absolutely no doubt is worse. If you never second guess yourself, then you're never wrong. You'll never grow.
wrong way around buddy...
if you always conform to the average then you'll always be the average, in this sense it's just like maths you'll be the lowest common demoninator, not worth mentioning.
if you cast aside lame af social trappings and just do what you feel comfortable you will always be true to yourself and comfortable while always changing in regards to your self (yourself changing through experience constantly) a better representation and more satisfying result - always growing.

>>7041090
inaisce doesnt do anti-ai - you'll be fucked for the robo uprising

>>7040861
bro i'm not saying reassurance is automatically a fantastic thing. it just makes ppl feel more secure, but ur taking it as a bigger commentary on consumerism which is not my intention at all

and i think ppl definitely look for reinforcement (on /fa/ at least); lots of cop or not threads, etc

>this facetious remark is kindve telling of your insecurity .___.
i dont mean 2 b facetious ily turnleft
'telling of my insecurity' is a weird thing 2 say tho i was just being sarcastic cuz u were talking about consumption and internet consensus like it was something new n unheard of

dont h8 me ;_;

>>7041317
>not a fantastic thing
>reassurance that they're making a good purchase from those they perceive to be more knowledgeable, i don't rly see that as bad
go

> just makes ppl feel more secure
we're arguing that it doesn't btw - you're regurgitating.

>bigger commentary on consumerism
when you support false ratification of bad consumer habits then consumerism is implied.

>talking about consumption and internet consensus like it was something new n unheard of
translating idea =/= novel discovery.

im going 2 bed
i h8 u

Could any1 give me some idea's what shoes I could buy.

Looking for something preppy but not overly formal or dadcore, I basicly just want something that's not a sneaker AGAIN but isn't going to make people ask me where the funeral is...

What do you guys think about these from A.P.C? They don't have to be black..

>>7041143
I feel like the last 10, 15 posts I've seen you make have all involved some sort of groundless superiority complex wherein you try to make anons who are quite clearly not as experienced, well-read, or involved as you feel badly for, say, wanting to buy a pair of Nikes (or anything that isn't Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW99 vintage rarest jacket only two made so authentic.)

I think you should try a little harder to remember what it was like when you were just starting out. I don't think you were always such a paragon of fashion knowledge and decisiveness, and you shouldn't expect everyone else to be either. Or maybe you think you should, and I just read you the wrong way all these years.

But we all remember that boat shoes/chinos fit.

if u read a superiority complex then perhaps you have a inferiority complex?
if you want to promote slave wages, go ahead - promote zara, H&M and nike.
if you want to bitch about being too poor and stupid so you default to buying stupid shit and posting stupid shit, go ahead - do that,

Those soles will turn to ugly blackened shit after a few wears outside. That crepe sole trend will pass soon. Leather soles will endure.

Just get some black Allen Edmonds or something man.

Hmm yeah I get what you are saying about the crepe sole so that isn't maybe such a good idea. But I'm trying to avoid overly formal shoes like the ones you are posting (without necessarily buying sneakers again) . I'm still in university so I would look to much out of place in those.

>>7041447
Yeah I love those as well, they are so gorgeous. Not sure if I can pull em off, I might look too young for them, still awesome shoe

Picking shoe's is like 10 times harder than any other piece of clothing.. takes me weeks and then I often take the safe bet.

Need some advice on some chunky white sneakers that look great beat as shit.

Pref shoes that go with a techninj wardrobe.

No geos pls. Thinking some Af1/vandals

>>7041435
What is the point of posts like these?

>>7041462
AF-1s are great. I was thinking of getting a pair but they are generaly too chunky for my wardrobe and preference. And I'm not black so I couldn't pull them off. Just search around really on any website. /fa/ will only rec about 4 different shoes,

Anyone know of any mid fashion tier SIMILAR TO raf black velcro high top style sneaks? By mid fashion I mean 100-250 dollar range or smth. And by similar to I mean all black and good looking. And fuck them converse hi tops

>>7041479
That's the milion dollar question m8. There isn't one. There is a gap in the market for someone to make raf velcro lookalikes. Not identical but the general shape. Not too chunky either.

first off supra and cringle sole
find one with a less disgusting sole?

you may like these, probably cheaper too and probably will be on par with the quality of supras (not like they are good or anything lol)

radii do fall apart but with this model personally only problem for me was the zip was a bit annoying to use at first when you haven't stretched the shoe with some wear yet

>>7038407

Anyone know any designers or shoes similar to the KVA lace up shoes, I love them so much but I don't really like the shiny leather, was hoping I could find some from an older season where he used suede/not so shiny leather but there isn't any in my size (US 7)(lil petite manlet edition).

pic related, it's the KVAS

Stay far away. I bought them for $40 bnib and they're rotting in my garage. The quality is awful, they feel cheap, they're badly designed. The velcro straps are the wrong dimension to actually do anything and the stitching was half off the velcro anyway. The "metal" on the tongue is chromed plastic btw.

>>7038673
how long have you had the 1ks?

What do you think?
I just got them but now I'm not sure about them

>>7040042
I bought these, but had to take em back and get 875 because the heel of the shoe didn't hold my foot in and would slide against the back of the shoe and give me terrible blisters even though they were the correct size. def try em on before you buy

>>7042247
