I love these shoes and am considering buying them. convince me not to.

You're paying maybe $400 for the quality. If you want to pay close to another grand just for the name, sure why not, but it's dumb.

>You're paying maybe $400 for the quality

even for a guesstimate, that's a pretty definitive figure. how you'd arrive at that?

>> No.8349307

>>8349299
I was going to say $200, but I feel that's more like CPs. Idk man, it's a lot of sneaker.

>> No.8349359

anyone who buys these shoes is a fucking /fa/ drone dressed by the internet and should fucking kill themselves

>> No.8349378

>>8349299
i'd also guess 400, because any brand without rick's hype putting out leather sneakers at higher prices has more interesting and visually nicer leather. balenciagas, for example. i mean i'm sure the leather is great feeling to be sure, but high tops made out of 'pretty good' feeling leather do not a 1300 dollar shoe make

since baskets are so absurdly flashy they're way more of a "look everyone i know who rick owens is and i dropped two months rent on my slavish devotion to letting everyone know it" thing than an actual fashion thing. it's like one step above a gucci belt, if only because baskets are more aesthetically pleasing

Geobaskets are the perfect example of peer pressure influence. Seriously they're like 7/10 shoes, you're paying over a grand for mildly interesting shoes. Don't do it man. I don't get how Owens fanboys can sleep at night.

Bullshit. Quality and durability on these are a 10.

They'd last forever if you kept resoling them. User had a pair of dunks from 2006.

You're an idiot. why do you think he keeps releasing them every year, they are his most iconic work and there is a reason beyond the hype that definitely surpasses trends like "goofninja" or "board culture". I bet you think neutral milk hotel is only popular because of /mu/

/fa/scist where are you I wanna hear your opinion on these meme dunks

>> No.8349552

>>8349531

I think they're overpriced and I think that people who buy them know they're overpriced and don't care because outside of Skovgaard's "version", there aren't any comparable shoes. Nobody said they're $1300 worth of shoe, but if you like Rick's designs and you want to put money into the pockets of the people who work with Rick, work for Rick, etc. and you don't mind paying, then who cares? Enjoy your shoes and stop overthinking it.

Is it possible to rock these with a few different designers besides rick and not instantly be lumped into "meme shoe" "goofninja" territory or is that just all part of it

They were posted as a GTFO to newfags for 3 obvious things:

1-They are expensive
2-You can only get them at ultra high end (pretentious) stores IF you live in a big ass babylonian city (NY, Tokyo, etc)
3-They are kinda out-there - in your face, and require a high end wardobe to pull off

I have two pairs and love them. comfy as heck. don't pay retail, it's easy to find these for less.

But what if I actually like them? I get that you are a fashion/music victim if you listen to shit you don't like to fit in or buy shit you don't like to fit in, but if you actually like them then how can anyone argue you are being inauthentic?

How new are you to think fashion is all about quality? Construction and aesthetic is far more important. I'm not going to wear Geobaskets because I'm climbing a mountain. I wear them because they cool as fuck.
