ugly like geobaskets
wnc even for $150

off topic, but what do you crackers think of these bad boys

>>7125574

>>7125078
hnngggnhhhh

why haven't i seen these before??? holy shit

I would really like a pair of these, just not sure if my wardrobe matches them

>>7125541
The black hi's look great there. You size down a half to a whole right?

>>7125748

>>7125541
are those the new or old ones ?

Are Raf velcro low tops discontinued?

Are his other low tops (talking about the ones which look like CPs only they have blue holographic details) worth copping?

so i really like the velcro high tops, especially the whites and the white/green holos, but i'm poor af

do you guys have any suggestions as far as similar cheaper shoes go?

>>7123935
no one knows.
maybe next season? white seems more likely to be released for spring/summer.

How do you even manage to keep white shoes clean?

I don't buy into the whole "they age well" thing as I don't like when shoes look dirty. So what's up with that? How do you manage to keep your achilles and rafs from looking all yellow-ish and shitty?

>>7126319
>How do you even manage to keep white shoes clean?
how about you fucking clean them? same as any other leather shoe

>>7126319
we dont

>>7126323
there's a difference between dirty and beat up, you can't clean away scratches and beaten leather

>>7126326
that's not dirt, those are scratches like you just said, why would you think you could clean a scratch off?

>>7126325
Yeah but how? I already tried cleaning white leather shoes and there are always some black scratches and shit who don't get off.

>>7126316
no other pure velcro (as in not having laces as well) sneakers compare imo

>>7126316
just save up, if you buy any other velcros it's going to make you look like an autist that never learned how to tie his laces

What is considered a good price for buying black highs in 8/10 condition/little wear on the sole?

>>7126346
around 230-260 dollars

>>7126346
250$

This is the only way I'd wear Raf velcros.
They look like sneakers for kids with down syndrome otherwise.

>>7126466
looks like sneakers for kids with down syndrome who can't even wrap their head around velcro

>>7126346
got my white/green suedes for 145 in the bst

holos were 240 on sale

wait for the sale mate

>>7126883
Where?

>>7126883
where and when

>>7126899
>>7126907
both from b/s/t threads here, i think.

i remember the white / green suede ones going for $145 a while ago

the holos might've been on sufu

>>7126910
>wait for the sale
I thought you were talking about a seasonal store sale

>>7126913
this

>>7126899
Holos were at s sense
Raf green suedes I bought off of a dude here.
Boxing Day is the big sale

>>7126910
stop trying to be me

Here's an old one of my holos. Was forced to sell these recently because of a need for money but I'd love to get another pair so if you've got any available let me know.
Also any Rafs you have in size 42 or 43 let me know :)

>>7127063
what sites are the best for this? what prices can I expect and sho

>>7127255
ssense is good
anywhere from 180 - 350 I'd say dependng on the colourway

>>7126316
all white Vans sk8 his are in a similar vein. Obviously they will never look as good or last as long, but if you skate in them i think they could look great for a year or so broken in

I'd really like to buy a pair but the white ones are my favorite and you can hardly find them anywhere. I don't think I have enough steeze for the holos.

>>7127267
are all the normal sizes normally sold out?

>>7127234
Looked great :)

>>7127303
This is why I wasn't too sure about my pair but after wearing them for a couple of days i noticed the holo-shiny parts on them aren't that in your face at all :)

>>7127234
if you look at >>7127303 you can see they aren't even really that flashy

>>7127331
if you ask me the printed/neon coloured ones are much flashier :)

>>7127338
those are just ugly

>>7127310
thanks man :)

>>7127308
not if you're fast

>>7127331
yeah they're not that flashy


here's my green suedes, i still have these :)

>>7127381
those and this one >>7125078
hnng love em.

I thought i'd not like mine as soon as I got them and would sell for a profit (got them for a large reduction) but darn now that they are here I can't part with them. even my more conservative friends were positive but those white ones are the best :)

>>7127438
how much did you cop them for? It was so hard for me to let go of my holos, I really want another pair.

I also really like yours, any chance you'd let me know where to cop?

>>7127451
I got them from a boutique that was doing a sale because they were moving. so I didn't get them from the internet sorry.

>>7127459
wow so lucky.
No shops where I live now stock Raf, but when I go home to Toronto I'm definitely gonna try and find some mint sales.

Do you have any on feet pics? I've never seen those ones in a fit pic

I'm sorry I don't have a decent fit pic of them. this is the best I could do

>>7125533
w2c cop all of those jackets?

>>7127494
cool bro, love em.

I also really like >>7125078

Honestly I don't think there are any that i don't like, I hope Raf continues to make them

do more people have raf velcros then CPs?

>>7127538
I don't think so, there's sorta a pretty small group of us here that have them. I've probably seen 10x more CPs irl than I have Rafs

>>7127538
I think most people on /fa/ who are into sneakers have 1 of each.

>>7127538
got cp's, waitin for sale to get rafs

>>7127558
When will they be on sale?

I'm thinking about buying velcros when my next pay check rolls around

I'm just worried about the shine, will they dull through ware?

>>7127550
I'd rather just have Rafs since they're more unique than CPs.
Plus I'd rather spend $300+ on a cool looking shoe, than just a basic low top.
I have my AF1s for those :)

>>7127574
Also are they true to size, I'm usually a UK6 but might cop the UK5's

A cool fit pic of Giraffage and his black rafs.

>>7127574
:) those aren't super shiny at all so don't worry about that :)

>>7127581
yeah they are extremely basic but tbh raf's leather doesn't compare to my cp's when it comes to comfyness.

Did anyone ever buy these or do fit pics exist of it? For some reason they are ridiculously expensive.

>>7127597
maybe .5 to full size big. They feel really nice when they're a little big so mine have both been 43 :)

>>7127622
There's a pair on ebay now for not that much
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/331049718023?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
But I don't think many people bought them, and I also don't think there were many made
I like them though.

>>7127624
giraffage like the artist giraffage? literally swooning

>>7127708
Lol we all know you're the one sellin them jolien
>really expensive
But niche, simply a myporter collab, no one is really going to shell out more than 200.

>>7128019
Why would I buy those when i already have the flower bomber, I'm not a maniac. nah it's just that no1 ever talks about those and i thought they would get some more attention since they are a unique pair.

>>7128040
Selling. The design itself is flamboyantly gay. Not to mention printed and on cotton twill.

>>7125748
stop pissin on them

thanks guys, i guess i'll just save up for the velcros...

in the mean time, do you guys know of anything good and cheap with laces in the same vein?

where are places i can buy raf pieces? I know of ssense but nothing else

>>7128418
vans sk8 hi have a similar silhouette

>>7128455
>forward by elyse walker
>farfetchd

>>7128474

aight thanks man
$60 is defnitely doable

also, for when I do buy myself some rats... how do they fit? I'm usually a size 8 us, that would be what, a 41? do they fit true to size? I've heard that I might want to get a size down

>>7128698

>rats

u kno what i mean tho

>>7128704
these?

>>7128698
If you want them to fit regularly, size down to a 41.
They are VERY comfortable though (I'm the holo/green suede guy) when they're sized up. I wear a 42 or a US 9 and I buy 43 in my rafs just because I like the fit better.

to each his own mate

plain white ones are impossible to buy because they're not sold anywhere. waiting for some random guy on sufu to sell them hasn't worked for me after like 4 months of waiting

>>7129689
>tfw mines are new in box sleeping

>>7129748
sell them to me

>velcro shoes
The fuck is this, 3rd grade?

>>7131000
pleb go

>>7131000
trips confirming nostyle

>>7127624

hehe, cool.

I remember seeing on his twitter "just paid $500 for velcro shoes" and all of the comments back being jokes / shit talking, etc.
