B..but it uses the CP sole, so it must be high quality, right?

lol that's so bad
replica velcros are better quality

looks like tissue paper leather

>>8805080
why would raf copy this

Aw FUUUUUUUCK

>>8805080
wanna see these on feet, hopes are not high

>>8805090
its ironic that you say that because raf velcros use the margom sole

i guarantee this sole is a lookalike and not an actual margom

>>8805134
it uses a real margom sole.

>>8805080
w2cop?

>$200
Asos pls

>my sides

have been obliterated

>>8805415

i would tbh those look terrible and rafdidas are fuccing sicc

It's not from ASOS in-house brand you guys.

>>8805423

m8 I think rafdidas are fucking hideous. But those asos ones are even worse

>>8805433

but i wont lie and say that i respect it, because i dont

>everything on asos site must be asos brand
smh you dumb niggers

>>8805080

Dreambox x Asos collab.

Where is your god now?

>own real raf velcros
>soon everyone will be wearing these
>"oh cool anon are those the asos ones?"
>"heh...n-no these are much more expensive"

>>8806344
Except nobody will ask you. They'll just think you're the Asos wearing pleb.

>>8806344
>"heh...n-no these are much more expensive"

you sound like an asshole, why not educate your peers on the design origin and superior construction of your shoes? your choice to define them by the price says a lot about your taste

>>8806357
the fact that he actually wears raf velcros says a lot about his taste lmao

probably portugal shits which arent much better than asos anyways

>>8806364
>>8806366

>>8806364
hey trunks did someone who owns the portugal velcros ever say something mean to you or something like that? coz i cant understand the hate

>>8806344
>implying ugly moon boots will ever be mainstream

whatever you say, space commander

could find the hightops on UK

>>8805080
Plenty more clones on their site.

Did anyone see the imitation Raf t-shirts?

>>8807470
those were h&m and fucking pathetic
these raf simons imitations arent even asos either though
theyre from a brand asos stocks called 'selected'
the rip is still fucking pathetic, but at the very least place the blame where it actually lies

>implying you can verify quality from a 2d image
Don't knock it til you try it.

>>8805125
tup kek

>>8805415
Oh my god this is so fucking hideous.

>>8807488
H&M did it as well

>>8805080
>yfw they arent actually asos

>>8808473
decent design, it's just ripping off raf so hard i can't like it
>>8805080
so poorly built that it's not even a consideration. this is a fucking JOKE.
>>8805415
this is actually decent... still the quality looks sub par, but the design is fine and isn't going for a direct rip off.

>>8807559
It isn't about the quality as much as it'd about the fact that they're blatant ripoffs, moron. Also they're probably shit quality

But shitty velcro knock off owner detected

>>8809362
So they are blatant ripoffs. Who cares?

Granted, these and genuine Raf Velcros have a noticeably different shape. But imagine two products visually identical, the only difference being that one is a ripoff/fake/replica and the other is the genuine article. If you like the design of the genuine, then by force of reason you should like the design of the ripoff/fake/replica.

I was merely pointing out that it is incredibly misguided to try and verify the quality of a product from a mere image of the product, which is common occurrence here. Quality is, at the very least, somewhat subjective and you cannot ascertain it without the item in hand.

For the record, I don't own any velcro shoes but if your first inclination is to call me a moron and then announce that you believe I'm being defensive, then you should seriously consider the amount of time you spend on 4chan and its effect on your argumentative skills.

>raf simons

>>8805415
is....is that rubber?

>>8805141

All real Margom soles have their stylized M below the tread at the front of the foot.

>>8809745

Corrected grain leather, hence the fake-looking finish.

>>8809784

Image for reference of their logo.

why dont they just release more white velcros?! does raf hate money or something

>>8809795

You mean my $500 sneakers uses knock-off Margom soles?

>>8809851

Maybe you got ripped off. I've personally never seen Margoms that didn't have the logo, but there might be a chance they produce un branded ones? Doesn't seem very likely to me, though.

>>8809851
dunno man, but all of my sneakers that have that have the logo as do my friend's

>>8809860

They're V Ave Shoe Repair. Made in Portugal. Not that it really matters if it is fake.

>>8809973
5th ave garbage isnt even worth ripping off lol, if they were going to make fakes theyd do it from the original designer that those scandinavian cunts ripped off

shit sells for pennies, and for good reason

>>8809973

It's probably not a Margom sole, that's all. There are tons if rubber factories out there and it's not like Margom is the only one making a rubber sole for stitched constructions. Also, I imagine that few folks would use an Italian sole and pay to ship it to a Portuguese factory and add more cost when there are plenty of Portuguese rubber suppliers.

>>8809979

I mean fake soles, not the shoe itself. I rarely wear them anymore.

>>8809982

Makes sense. Thanks.

>rafael simons

>the son of jaques simons

>>8810008

Wow. I only JUST realized the heel counter is in suede on the Rafs. Huh.

>>8805436
I love raf's shit
but rafdidas are fucking terrible and never grew on me.

>>8810012

another idea stolen by the son of jaques simons

ayy trunks you still here?
what are good places to cop/try on shit in van?

>>8805415
that leather looks ass already xD

why do some raf soles have this fucking square here and others dont?

i also notice theres no margom M

>>8810056

Because many styles have been moved to Portugal for production.

>>8810071

this is what ive heard

is there any difference in actual quality?

>>8810075
hah yes
the gap between those rafs is like the intellectual gap between me and you
it's like an abyss
and you're made in portugal :^)

>>8810087

literally reddit tier

>>8810075
portugal's leather is shinier, can't speak of the quality cause I haven't had a pair on my hands. The construction is a bit different too, the toe box looks kinda weird in the pics I've seen...

>>8810191
shoes are for feet, not hands

>>8809860
pretty sure silent uses margoms and my saturs don't have that mark

>>8809784
ASOS actually uses real magroms. Somebody got a quote from the company on the soles before and screenshotted it, they're dirt cheap. Something like $4 in a (relatively) small order. I'm sure Asos get's bigger on their production scale.

They're nice and thick, but certainly nothing distinguishable.

>implying raf is even good
it's always been shite, who cares if it gets ripped off?

>>8810279

>uneducated fuccboi detected

>>8810232
If they don't have that mark they're not margom soles. They seem to be almost identical rubber soles produced by a Portuguese manufacturer since the mark doesn't appear on damir doma sneakers or new raf velcros which are all made in portugal
