Hey /fa/ - Found these on sale for 50% off making them $500, and I have been thinking about it for the past week and wondering.

How do I justify spending that much money on shoes as a broke ass college student? I mean I do live at home and have no other bills to pay but that is half of a grand.

How do I justify spending that amount of money on shoes that I really want, but god damn taht is a shitload of cash.

Any opinions /fa/?

I don't care. Just fucking buy them. If you have the money saved, and you have a vested interest in them, buy them.

Yes, if its something you really want, the feeling of fear will dissipate and you'll be left with a growing love for the garment that is requited every time you wear it or even handle it.

Do you have $500 that you aren't using? Then buy them. Do you need $500 for other expenses? Then don't buy them.

That's about all there is to it.

>> No.6294213

Alright then, one last thing.

Here is the website I will be purchasing them from? Is it legit? How can they sell them so cheap?

if it continues not to sell, it might make it to 70% reduction. once it sells out, it's gone, but she frequently reissues the sneaker, so you'll have another chance in the future.

Well, the Castro is just west of the mission district. It is the Gay community.

Also, teenage girls in this city are pretty much exposed to it all. Most of them are taking acid and 25-I by 13 at raves. So a partially naked guy isn't much of a shocker.

Though as I said, you don't see it very often anymore. It's only widespread during Bay to Breakers.

>> No.6294364

>>6294357

They were just tops and shorts with long panels down the front. They've been done in various forms in different collections. The eyes had a really big wing (a leaner, more pointed version of the make-up that you see in GLEAM A/W 2010) and the hair is just pulled back really high, though the model on the right does have a prominent forehead.

>> No.6294366

>>6294350
You're a moron. No one is butt naked, and no one sodomizes each other. Also just because its labeled the "gay district" doesn't mean they are corralled there like Auschwitz. Gays are all over the city, ain't nothing wrong with that.

My only high tops are my converse in teal, but those are just converse. I can consider any other pair what you thinking at?

Also they fit like Adidas right? And similar quality or what?

>> No.6294369

OP, what's your wardrobe like?

I tell you something: DON'T buy them if you don't have a wardrobe that harmonizes with the product.
I see this all the time - some poor ass guy buys ONE piece of a high-end brand, still the rest of his wardrobe is Walmart tier. In the end, it shows, definitely. It would look much better if the same guy would have taken the money and distribute it evenly to build up a decent wardrobe. Of course, you can buy basics like tees at H&M, Zara etc. But remember; especially the stuff that is supposed to look "nice" (like skinny fit chinos etc) are often of extemely bad quality in the low-priced sector.

No real particular pair, but just wondering if there was a reason you had the more vanilla ones as options. My personal favourites are the Kubo, Honja (high and low) and Trailer. Dunno about the quality and fit, i don't own any, considering copping a pair soon though.

You are right, it's easier with sneakers than with, say, a trench coat - especially since many people don't give a fuck about footwear and wear the same shoes erryday. I still think it's legitimate to bring this point up for OP to consider it. I wouldn't buy the shoes, btw.

>lmao, how is he supposed to build the wardrobe without buying a piece first?
By thinking about what kind of wardrobe he can actually *afford*. That's what I do. If I could choose, my wardrobe would be mostly Dior. But I can't afford that, and being broke after having bought 4-5 pieces will not leave me anywhere. So I find alternatives, settle for a price level that is suitable to create a solid wardrobe without making me a poor man.
Isn't this obvious?

>>6294405
no, it's not obvious, because it's not a requirement that your whole wardrobe comes from a single price bracket, or that you pay retail for it. and again, these shoes are really basic, they beg for a lot more minimalism than you get from fast fashion i suppose, but you shouldn't have trouble building a wardrobe with them in it without spending much money.

you're acting like it isn't possible to integrate higher and lower-end items in the same wardrobe

no, your post states that he can't afford the shoe, and he shouldn't buy it, and you then back it up with your own example of not purchasing dior because you can't afford it, at no point do you suggest mixing dior/ann with low level stuff or copping on sale or second hand.
