insanely nxtlvl

mfw those shoes

>>6405721

my thoughts exactly

I wanna see someone run in them

Rick should do a video

>>6405761
they aren't for running in

>>6405577
Still looks like Y-3

>>6405778

>"“I work out like a fiend but I hate, hate, hate cardio. I realized I’m in my fifties now and I need to do something for my heart and lungs. So, I’ve got to start running."

is rick a lying piece of shit or are you wrong

It's fine that everyone has opinions about the looks of these shoes, but it's pretty ridiculous that people are judging how "comfortable" or "functional" they are without having ever seen them in person, much less tried them on.

>>6405870
they didn't do any ergonomics studies for starters. it's just a shoe.

>>6405884

then why have the pretense of making a running shoe?

Rick could've designed this w/o adidas

>>6405895
he also could have, and does, release bags under mainline.

>>6405904

not sure what you're trying to say

>>6405577
wait didnt they say there was around 10 different shoes for the collaboration like 6 mens and 4 womens?

>>6405938
i'm not sure what your point was, is what i was implying.

>>6405950

Why design a non-running shoe when you advertise the fact that you want to start running (Rick may not have advertised it, but hypebeast did)?

Why collab with adidas in designing non-sportswear?

>>6405970

I bet if he had just released a running shoe on his own, there would be a throng of whiny posters who would make complaints like: "Why would he do this on his own? Why didn't he go to someone like Nike or Puma that knows how to make running shoes?"

>>6405970

Hypebeast didn't "advertise" it. I'm sure they sent out a press release and Hypebeast just ran a really long story about designer activewear that just happened to get lots of exposure.

>>6405938

He's saying that he could have made bags, but he made bags with Eastpak to produce a very specific product using their manufacturing capabilities. Rick has manufacturing in Italy for things like casual shoes and boots and whatnot, but given that he's never had any factory that does technical athletic wear, doesn't it make sense to go to someone who has those resources available for you?

>>6406016
>>6406010

but twerk said

>they aren't for running in
>they aren't for running in

And advertise was a poor choice of words, I meant to emphasize that Rick was making public that he wants to run

>>6406010
this is where i was laboring towards. rick's footwear factory probably does not own the equipment to make the soles this collaboration uses. rick went to adidas because he wanted to riff on the idea.

>>6406029

That's splitting hairs. And what a person chooses to do with their shoes is their own business. The designer made what he thinks of as a running shoe and to parse it further than that is pointless.

>>6406033

this makes more sense

still silly that someone would use running footwear material on something that will never be run in

>>6406033

It's just not a cost-effective approach to designers to form production contracts for every single item they use in their shows. Why does LD Tuttle make shoes for complexgeometries, Helmut Lang, and VPL? Why does Comme des Garçons use The Generic Man and Pointer? Why does Junya work with Tricker's? Why does Aldo have its RISE program? Because many fashion companies don't have the time or resources to produce every single item they need when putting on a runway show.

>>6406045
his bff raf was doing it, rick felt left out. poor guy.

>>6406045
>on something that will never be run in

It's ludicrous to proclaim how people are going to use an item that hasn't even been shown to buyers and press, much less won't enter retail stores for well over six months.

>>6406053

>"I work out like a fiend but I hate, hate, hate cardio. I realized I'm in my fifties now and I need to do something for my heart and lungs. So, I've got to start running," the Paris-based designer told WWD yesterday. "I thought to myself, 'What shoes am I going to wear running?' I can’t wear my big chunky basketball shoes — I'd look like a dinosaur running through the Tuileries."

>>6406052

Would it be a complete surprise if there was actually a savvy VP in Adidas that has convinced the company to push further into forging relationships with designers like Yohji, Jeremy Scott, and Rick?

>>6406053
it's like, you can run in them if you want to buy cost aside, they didn't do any ergonomics studies, they are probably not a great choice of shoe.

>>6406059
not at all; of course you go to talented professionals when you want to design great items.

>>6406039
But the latter half of that sentence is wrong.

w2c?

>>6406178

Well, now I absolutely must buy them. The sneakers with a pair of Geocargo shorts and a really structured jacket as armor. Oh god. It's coming together in my head now.

>>6406216
does anyone else remember the guy who told the story about putting a motorbike helmet on then going for a walk?

>>6406231

Oh god, yes. The guy who talked about how he loved having a barrier between himself and other people and flicking up the visor and shit, right?

>>6406216
omg
gundamcore x battlemech chic is happening

>>6406231

>>6406237
yeah i think he went out at night and walked around the shopping centre or s/t

it was actually really endearing
(and also really weird)

>>6406251

It was akin to watching a special needs child work one of those shape in hole puzzles and be confused why the circle refused to go through the triangle slot.

Right. Yes, I'm 32.
32 and self employed and a homeowner in NYC.
And I wear sneakers, and I have an xbox and an old NES and an Atari in the other room, and I have a plastic robot on my shelf. I also have some comic books.

You see, the thing I like best about being an adult is the freedom to live how I want, dress how i want, and not have to answer to anybody. That last one is especially important, and it's why I insist on self-employment.

In my book, success means doing whatever the hell you want and still making money.

'Acting your age' is something you do when you have to, because you have no other options. When there's a B&E in one of our buildings or there's a toilet emptying into someone's living room at 4 am because the asshole upstairs decided to unclog his potty with Drano, that's when I act my age. When I pay for a vacation or a dinner in cash, I act my age. When I do my accounting and pay my taxes, I act my age. Other than that, fuck it, you know? Let's have fun!
