/fa/ - Fashion

ebay

if you're poor you probably shouldn't pay for overpriced shitty faux-designer status symbol luxury sneakers and just get some zig zag winos or something

common projects are just vans that look slightly different without any logos that cost 5 times as much

no sneaker should ever cost more than 100 dollars

Haha cool thx bro!

Can someone actually answer my question now?

how come everyone is buying cp's all of a sudden?

the new ones rent even as nice

>>7001079
>>7001063
why do these faggots who dont know shit about fashion even trip
i mean like, really, the amount of retard and ignorance in your post is astounding and yet you have the audacity to trip
it boggles me
>>7001217
your best bet imo would be websites like sufu/stylezeitgest/hypebeast etc.

>>7001063
as a dude whos been through 5 pairs of winos in a year, just dont.

>>7001230
Alright, thanks dude.

>>7001227
Why do you say this?

>>7001230
self-conscious person who spends too much time online bought full-grain leather sneakers because he subscribes to a system founded on trying to make him feel inadequate and insecure about himself to sell him stuff he doesn't need

he's critical of others because it's the natural recourse of those who are aware they have wasted money on overpriced goods to attack others and call them inferior for not buying the same product. that's what you're really buying with luxury goods. an idea of superiority. no one cares if your leather is full-grain on your sneakers. you are still going to die.

>>7001246
.. So why not die wearing some dope shoes?
Fite me irl

>>7001246
OP here, I still want CPs.

baby them. take care of them. blog about how nice they are and get a canon camera and take pictures of them in low light so you can take the f-stop down and have a nice bokeh so they look way nicer than they actually are and you can smirk to yourself that you're better than others.

on some level, in the back of your mind, you'll always know how silly you're being and how you probably should have just bought the 15 dollar plimsolls

hierarchies of the mind are poison

>>7001254
attractive shoes can cost 12 dollars

>>7001255
But I don't think I'm superior to anyone, and a pair of nice shoes certainly wouldn't change that. I'd certainly rather not buy a pair of vans like everyone else, though. Is being (dare I say it) different such a crime?

or is he still "trolling" after posting here for like 5 years

"stop buying what i dont think you should buy you're wrong buy what i want you to buy. also while you're at it stop being happy with things that i dont like be happy with the things i actually dont really like aswell"

>>7001276
I probably get more compliments on a weekly basis than you have ever gotten in your life.

>>7001255
>>7001246
you sound like a person who is above this all so why bother?
you also sound like a teenager who's grown up observing adults on the internet, you may not realise it now but later on you'll realise that the traits you've picked up will screw you over
nobody likes a smart-ass

>>7001284

>>7001284
>nice fit ct
>thanks ct

-ct, 2013

>>7001255
wow cooltop its like youre still stuck in 2008 cps arent considered grails or w/e anymore theyre #standard footwear and are treated as such now. you can find for ~$200 if you look diligently enough and theyre certainly nothing that anyone flexes.

i mean yeah i guess thrifting was cool 5 years ago and your ralph lauren flannels and florsheims were considered /fa/ back then but you dont have to drag everyone else down just cause fashions moved beyond you

>the new ones rent even as nice
What's worse about them?

>>7001282
if buying material goods is what makes you happy, then so be it. i'm just one opinion on the subject. if you have such a problem with it, though, it makes me think you might have come here for validation and are angry you're not getting it. this generally results in people banding together and calling you a plebian idiot on a fashion forum. people who are into fashion are so insecure because they know their hobby is stupid and meaningless and people are dying in africa while they spend 300 dollars on shoes.

>>7001295
alright dad sorry for buying expensive shoes ill give the money to little starving black kids from now on

>>7001291
they're just mid-range shoes.

expensive enough to make the buyers feel superior to others, but not well-designed or anything. literally the main difference between them and 90000 other shoes that come up when you type in "wino" is the price.

>>7001295
yeah i like it but nah i havent come here for validation i'm not OP
well yeah if you're into fashion you're more insecure because its about aesthetics and none of that more-than-meets-the-eye stuff
pulling the dying kids in africa card isnt going to work on me
i've realised that the packet of gum i bought yesterday could of extended some dying kids life so he dies later (as you said before why bother you're going to die anyways) but i've accepted that i really, dont, care. maybe i'm heartless, maybe i'm cruel, i dont give a fuck i want my gum.

>>7001301
do you like yourself?

if an african kid who was starving had a knife and stabbed you in the gut for saying that, would you feel you deserved it?

>>7001305
why dont we just rename this board to /starvingniggers/ and instead of buying clothes we can just discuss giving our money to starving kids in ethiopia

I could get brand new high top CP's (black) for £260 right now

FUCK WHAT DO I DO THEY'RE THE ONLY SHOES I LIKE

>>7001318
You buy them

>>7001295
top lel go donate all your belongings to africa you retard

most people spend money on junk like tv's, phones, expensive food, other entertainment devices, hobbies, guitars, gym memberships, movie tickets, concert tickets, etc...
spending money on fashion is just the same, might as well send all your money to spend to africa while you're at it

>>7001295
There may be children starving in Africa, but we also have more than enough intellectual mediocrities here to remind us of their plight whenever they need to make an empty rhetorical gesture.
