Thinking about copping these motherfuckers from ioffer.

Why shouldn't I? I don't have the disposable income for real ones and the fakes are probably at least worth their price. I've seen unblocking videos with fakes and, although it's obvious they're fake compared to the real ones, I still like the look.

Also nobody knows who the fuck dick owens is around here so they won't even know I'm an extreme fuccboi

You should cop them and post a fit on here so we can insult you like the fuccboi you are.

It's easy. That shoe does not only look bad but must feel awkward to wear too.

Besides, I don't get why people look for cheap ways out. because let's face it, if you had a job, were interested in avant garde style and knew how to make them work you'd cop some real dunks.

But your not, so either save yourself from the humiliation /fa/ will provide (because that's what you will do when they get delivered right? Put them on and go to WAYWT) and just get the real sneaker.

I just want a nice looking sneaker to wear around university. I know they won't look as nice as the real ones but they'll still look passable. I'm not trying to impress /fa/

you're basically telling us you're going to do it and you didnt ask for opinions so just buy them and wear them

Ok then, buy it nobodys stopping you why did you make a thread about it?

It seems like deep down inside you know they aren't worth it and you're just trying to prove to yourself that they are by reassuring yourself through making this thread and rebutting any arguments other people make against your "opinion"

Saged.

This is honestly probably good advice

How many years should I expect to get out of a real pair?

>> No.7051181

>>7051174
They're sneakers. That said, it depends how you treat them, and if you get them repaired on time. Years maybe, depends how often you wear them.

>>7051174
it depends on how hard the previous owner wore them

dunks are hard to find in mint condition

any shoe can last ten years, if you take good care of them. any shoe can also last just one year if you really fuck them hard.

be sure and have other shoes to rotate.

watch where you step and walk properly so you don't wear the heel as fast.

I own the black/white ones and they suck massive dick. If you are in Australia i will sell them to you for 30+postage

I'm actually torn because I know real ones will make me feel great, last longer, look better, and grant me more respect from /fa/, but fake ones would still look alright, be decent shoes for their price, and look great to practically everybody I see in real life. And obviously cost less

Can you post a fit? What don't you like about them?

>> No.7051234

The real deal will always look better than a knockoff, even if it has imperfections.
If your on a budget, wait for sites to have final sales. You'll be happier with that than with a knockoff. And the discounts can be pretty large.
I got Gareth Pugh sneakers from Barney's Warehouse for $540. Retail was something like $1200 or $1300.

The shit in the OP doesn't even look like real leather.

Get the fakes with the white jagged soles, they're less suicidal than those flatsoled with the brown bottoms (rain happens).

im also in the same boat

i bought the most wearable colorway and felt disgusted w/ myself after they arrived

they are absolutely gorgeous sneakers but i'm really unhappy with my proportions when i wear them, even though i'm model thin and 6'3 and have a reasonably well curated wardrobe coming along


i think i'll have to flip them and just get some ramones :(

for like 1/16 the price and save your money.

by the time you have the money saved you'll know if you really want the real ones

>> No.7051455

buy them if you want them and if you dont care about them not being authentic rick owens or not having being the exact same design as his sneakers.
,else you should not.

imo I think both fake and real ones look like shit so I might be a bit biased

I don't understand where the mentality, "Anything less than $300 boots, they'll fall apart in a couple of months." Seriously, what the fuck? I've bought sub $100 boots and they've lasted for the last year, not even oiling them or anything, and they're still in great shape. Fucking sheep mentality, yo

I suppose they could be VERY convincing wax sculptures... But why put them in a mall? Perhaps a social commentary on consumerism?

you cant tell the difference by looks on shitty photos everyone uploads but you can easily tell that they are most likely fake by looking at the rest of your outfit

It's ridiculous that someone would want to call attention to their fake ricks by pairing them with some shitty jeans and a tshirt

>> No.7052808

go for it if you want it, 95% of the time no one is even going to know or care.

5% of the time, so effay douche will give you a dirty look, but I have a pair of both real and fake ones (I bought the real ones afterwards) and the really good fakes you can't tell unless you have them side by side, despite what /fa/'s guide may tell you.

i got a pair and i regret it
most people dont know RO anyways so whatever
but they are incredibly shitty made (inb4 fa told me so) thin as fuck, literally zero support so my feet hurt after wearing them and therefore they look like shit when worn because they dont even hold up the shape
with customs i paid around 150€ and thats way too much for some shit like that
but i guess it was a mistake i had to make, now i know not to do it again
