/fa/ - Fashion

Man I'm so pissed. I don't get paid for another week and I know that sale is going to be over when I do

What is that sale everybody is talking about?

>>7121270
hanon shop and crooked tongues
most good colours and common sizes are sold out

>>7121270
Hanon-shop, CrookedTongues.
Raf x Adidas for 70 quids

>tfw no other sales
>tfw lost a pair on ebay last night

Might just have to shell out for a pair.
Gonna wait a while longer to see if there are any other sales though.

>>7121277
Which are the good, sold-out colorways?

>>7121313
u decide B)

How do these fit? True to size?

>>7121313
the ones i like hehe
if the ones you like are still there u should get them

>>7121331
small

>>7121335
The ones I like are 1 size to small, would I be able to fit them? :(

Also, did you get a pair? Show me the ones you like, which are sold out, I'd like to see what I missed out on (I don't suppose they had all colorways)

>>7121331
the general consensus seems to be to size up by a half if you can but also tts would work but slightly snug
i talked to a guy in a shop and he said most customers find them to be tts so i dunno

>wearing high fashion shoes
>wearing mountain climbing shoes
>buying shoes with more than 3 colors

LYL.
Who's going to be the first fuccboi to say "BUT IT'S A RAFFFFF"

>>7121349

Confirmed for no swag

>>7121345
probably not :(

i got these
>>7114287

Would I be able to fit a pair that's half a size too small?

Wish I had heard about this earlier

>>7121349
great, another shitty newtrip trying to le trik people, how refreshing

>>7121349
i agree w you m8
they remind me of the cheap knock off sneakers i wore when i was in elementary school :/

>>7121349
>high fashion
lol

god these are so ugly

they look like someone an autstic 8 year old would wear, and not in a good way

>>7121367
shut up its satire you just don't understand

>>7121378
>wearing clothes ironically

oh god please kill yourself

>>7121383
when did he say that
who even refers to 'irony' in 2013

>>7121367

I don't think the people wearing them are doing so ironically. I think sometimes people just like a little ugly or awkward in their clothes and accessories. It makes things interesting.

>>7121390
"satire" implies that he's wearing rafs to mock people who wear non-raf shoes that look like rafs, because these people are seen as being unfashionable, so he's only wearing them ironically, not because he thinks they actually look good

>>7121399
the guy who said satire was obviously mocking people who like them
they aren't satirical, but they do show influence from trainers traditionally considered ugly
this doesn't mean that people wearing these find them ugly or are wearing them ironically

>>7121405
how could you NOT find them ugly? i get that people have different standards and all, but cmon, even the plebbiest of the Asics wearing plebs would call those shoes hideous

>>7121410
> how could you NOT find them ugly? i
uhhh i like the way they look

>>7121413
i find this incredibly hard to believe

>>7121418
lol well that sounds a bit autistic mate no offence
but cool as long as you're happy but i hope you don't lose sleep at night knowing that someone likes something you don't like
i fucking hate mushrooms but i'm not gonna tell everyone who likes them that they are only eating them ironically

>>7121424
>i fucking hate mushrooms but i'm not gonna tell everyone who likes them that they are only eating them ironically

how is that similar at all? you don't buy mushrooms for $350 and eat them in public and match them with other food on your plate

pretty effay for RUNNING
but seriously, who cares what you wear when you work out
the 15€ running shoes they sell in lidl (which is walmart of EU or something) won't destroy your feet

>>7121435
well you do match flavours when you're cooking a meal lol
but anyway that's not what i'm saying brother.
i'm saying just because you find something so repulsive that you can't understand the appeal doesn't mean someone else is wrong for digging it :)

>>7121418

I hate this style of thinking in the arts.

>"if i dont enjoy it then there's no possible way anyone could genuinely enjoy it"

>>7121418
You're probably the kind of person that thinks "ugly" sounds in music can't be used to create something pleasurable to listen to.

>>7121463
what does this even mean? give me some examples

>>7121486

I assume the anon is talking about achromatic music, syncopation, ambient sound, distortion, etc.

I've had mine for a while.

>>7121530

I wouldn't mind the high-low concept of this is the jacket had some actual interest or cut to it. Think like Balenciaga egg coats, but in puffer form? Or even just something boxy, but slightly cropped.

>>7121530

>>7121530
Forgot to say that I bought a second pair from the hanon sale, because they are so beautiful.

>>7121530

were you intentionally trying to look like a plonker?

>>7121530
i dig this
would be better if the trackies were slimmer at the bottom too tho

>>7121530
this is a joke rite

its gott b a joke

rite

a guy on sufu is selling these in 41 for 200 euros

You are legitimately fucked in the head.

I don't like. I'm not a fan of these with jeans.

Thinking about copping pic related.

just get regular rafdidas.

>>7123737
I like shoes like these. Any more similar? Gotta add to my collection...

>>7123737
that pink band around it is just too much.

>>7123781
Don't have file names on mobile : p

>>7121663
i like these because raf has managed to literally incoporate everything i dont want in a shoe except branding into one shoe. if it said "raf/adidas" all over it it would be the perfect opposite shoe of what i would potentially want

>>7123807
you can rotate it to the back of the shoe.

>>7121530
huehuehue

>>7123737
cop. Buy one for your mom too

>>7121435
he is just expressing his opinion on these shoes because, UNDER /FA/ standards, (pls don't start that bullshit of "hurr durr, who said we have pleb standards" because you fucking do since every time someone posts a fit all you guys do is say how horrible it is) this shoes are disgusting and I myself find it amusing that you guys like it taking into account these standards.

>>7121684

>Not quoting "got to church"
>wtfareyoudoing.jpg

jesus christ these are disgusting looking.

I honestly don't get the appeal at all. They *legitimately* look like something autists wear.

>>7124603

I have never seen anybody, autistic or otherwise, wearing these or styles quite like this, so I have a hard time seeing where you're coming from.

I do see how they can be off-putting, but I also can imagine how they would add an unexpected, tweaked athletic note to a certain type of style.

>>7124611
You've never seen anyone wearing overly colorful and plasticy running shoes?

These are just more colorful versions of what was all the rage in elementary school.

>>7124626
They literally just look like 80s/90s kids running shoes. Where the velcro at?

>>7124611
>>7124626
he's probably thinking of asics runnings shoes like these. people who 'don't care about fashion' often wear shoes like these with baggy stonewash jeans, a graphic tee, and/or a hoodie of the local sports team. or else khaki cargo shorts.

i see his point, but i ultimately disagree. the rafs are different enough, and if a person knows what they're doing, they can make the rafxadidas sneakers work. i feel the same way about the recent raft of sneakers in this style from other designers; lanvin and dries especially.

>>7124626

Nothing in these color combinations, in these proportions, with these details, no.

>>7124648
why did this picture happen. i specifically went to google images and saved a pic of asics men running sneakers. ive never even saved that pic of that actor before. is anyone else seeing that guy from cheech and chong or am i just crazy.

i didnt save this picture. am i really this drunk? what the fuck

>>7124683
its a 4chan bug
when 2 people post at the EXACT same time sometimes the pics flop
someone somewhere on another board just posted the pic you actually tried to

>>7124648
>>7124683
Speaking as him - yeah, basically it's these shoes with garish colors.

I get the idea, is it supposed to be super different than more minimalist running shoes and all attention grabbing? My problem is that I can't see these going with any outfit, and every fit I've seen w/ them looks awful.

>>7121206
If you were "that guy" that wore all black, what'd be the issue with these shoes?

Second from right looks cool. Imagine someone kicking you in the face while wearing those - that'd be embarassing

>>7121435
Nigga do you even truffle? fucking pleb.

tfw :)
order was confirmed today and shud be getting them in 2 weeks

>>7121675
someone else made it for me B)

>>7124683
The confusion of unsuspecting posters when this happens is always top lel

>>7121206
>multicolored shoes
haha wow

is the quality of these that of regular adidas? also, do you think somewhere like mr porter will have them on sale whenever the next one is? the hanon sale didn't have any of the colourways in my size

>>7124929
Mine too, brother

>>7125449
The quality is different than regular adidas and it's kind of funny because by Adidas standards they are WORSE quality.

The Rafs are supposedly made from higher quality materials, therefore they will break apart if you run in them.

So they are higher quality, but if you treated them as you would treat Adidas, Adidas would come on top.

>ITT: babbys getting their first "designer" piece

>>7125511
>tfw it's gonna be my first designer piece
>tfw it's the only designer shoe i've ever really wanted besides some OOP Vandals

>>7125511
but it's not designer lol
still cool tho

>>7121349

They're supposed to be a loud piece you ignoramus, they're supposed to be a focal point that you build the rest of your fit around.

How to improve this?
>>7123588

>>7125494
The 2014 look much better quality so far.

>>7125689
personally i would keep the fit black/white/grey apart from the shoes so it's not too cluttered
i also think they look better with cropped/high cuffed jeans so give the shoe room to breathe

>>7125694
wow they don't look pig disgusting
still near-unwearable
but at least a little more interesting

>>7125762
Probably gonna cop that colourway, and if I don't think i can wear them, ill put them on display somewhere.

pretty much sums it up

buyer's remorse: the post

>>7125891

are you implying that guy is srs tho?

do u think i could buy a pair and then sell them for like $200 later on?

>>7125935

there's really no sizes left nigga

>>7125772
What colorways do those orange ones come in?

I've think I've seen the green one but is it just those two?

>>7126005
Apparently each model comes in 3 colourways for a total of 21 different shoes. A lot of the colourways havent been shown yet.

What the hell are you talking about? At least substantiate your ridiculous claims.

>>7125545
>Designed by Raf Simons
>not designer

>>7125797
I love you

The amount of ill will against these shoes is staggering.

>>7126051
I'm not crazy about these. It's like he's buying into the trend of minimal sneakers, which I saw the AW 2013 collection (among other of his shoe collections) as a reaction against.

>>7126099
Not really higher quality in terms of strength, but different and more expenisve materials that don't hold up with intensive use like running.

>>7126125
What materials are you talking about?

>>7126142
Leather paneling, silicone bubbles, holographic material under the silicon, weird nylon-ish paneling, rubber paneling, unconventional mesh style and colours, etc.

When these first came out, there were no posts or hype in /fa/ and now everyday a new thread dedicated to these rafs.
Viral Marketing at it's finest.

>>7126158

how is this an example of viral marketing?

main thing that changed is that they dropped to insanely low sale prices at a couple shops, and thus became attainable for a lot of folks here. that's what sparked all the conversation.

>>7126155

I think it's hard to say how they will hold up until someone tests them out, unless raf n co said not use them for running. a lot of true running shoes that exist on the market have similar material arrangements. I think they would be fine but not great. I would just get nike gyakusous if looking for something that looks cool/different and you can definitely run in.

>>7126231
The reason why they dropped to sale prices was because they just weren't selling at all, anywhere. They may have been the ugliest colab , but when has cost ever been a factor in sneaker hype in /fa/?
>geobaskets

>>7126247
A card comes with them that says:

"Due to the exclusive design and materials, these shoes are not guaranteed to perform like adidas athletic shoes. Unique materials are at times used on our products to create distinctive looks. These materials may require special care. Some recommendations include avoiding damp environment, prolonged exposure to sunlight and other conditions that may stress the materials."

Doesn't specifically say don't run in them, i think they just wrote that as a precaution.

>>7126271
They are selling well on loads of sites

>>7124929
What website

>>7126155

that fucking fit, top haha

you adiraf fags are cancerous

>>7125772

>mfw size 13us

Anybody know if any other sites are eventually gonna put them on sale? I''m considering shelling out for a pair but if they go on sale right after i will kill myself.

>>7126632
Maybe email them but they probably won't say :)

has anyone who ordered from hanon got dispatch yet?

i haven't heard anything

>>7126870
I ordered mine and got a message saying that my order was processed an hour ago

>>7126881

mine processed on the 22nd, lazy scottish are prob smoking weed or eating battered mars bars

>>7126888
whoa what always thought hanon was german lol

>>7126870
Ordered on the 18th, dispatched yesterday.

I seriously hope none of you mongs run in these. I've had them for a few months and they're not built to withstand it. It even says on the card that comes with them

I hope this isn't this the new trend. Fuckin /fa/ pushing shit. I've wanted these since last season when they were shown.
>inb4 special snowflake
i am.

>>7126960
Lol
Have you never wanted something for a while then bought it when it was on sale?
They've been pretty consistently discussed since their release

>>7126988
sure. but why make a thread for just a shoe god damn. make a raf thread
but i guess its the only raf piece you guys could wear anyway.
sort of like how certain rappers can only wear gucci belts :)

>>7127000
Why are you upset that someone else owns the same shoe as you

Bump

oh yeah my one shirt is worth more than your entire closet

Those are the kind of hideous ass shoes I would expect to see someone who wears athletic gear as their daily clothing to wear.

>>7128962
I really like this, one of my fave fits with them
If i was gonna nitpick i'd say it's a bit too matchy for me
would look dope with an oversized black sweat imo

>>7129089

literally no one cares about your opinion that has been stated countless times

>>7129087

>>7128962
That looks great, defiantly something I'd wear, probably one of my favorite fits with those shoes.
I've always loved the sweater/shorts combo

No
You guys don't get it
This is a contest between Raf and Rick
The one who designs a shoe so ugly that no one buys it wins
It started with Geos
Raf threw in Holos
Then Rick came out with his Adidas collab
Now this

>>7129204
rickidas came after this

>>7129204
YOURE A FUCKHEAD

wqhat mixed style lol.

>>7129213
Makes sense since Rickidas look worse than these, if only by a little bit.

>>7129204

>>7129224

he is referring to the style of wearing a sweater
with the style of wearing shorts
with the style of wearing rafidas

aka he's an idiot and has no clue what he's talking about

>>7129239
none of that is style? maybe together sure. everyone can create a style. maybe he thinks it looks bad but its not 'mixing styles' and yeah i agree

>>7128962

nice, is this yours?

>>7128962
i fucking love this

>>7129330
did you cop a pair in the end?

>>7129343
i haven't yet

gonna do eet when i get some mo cash


>tfw i'll end up paying mr p price for em

>>7129367
sneakersnstuff has em for p cheap, not as cheap as the sales but still p cheap

>>7125689
bump. what kind of pants?

>>7131117
Black

>>7131117

i think the trick might be a less conventional silhouette. some slightly looser fitting trousers either cuffed or cropped would be cool

also i think you need to balance out the whole 'bulky' aesthetic with something more on top, whether that's a bigger, looser tee, a sweater, or a jacket over the top or something

its no mean feat to pull off these shits thats for sure

I could cop them. Right now. In my size. In the color-way I wanted. For the sale price.


Should I do it?

>>7132107

these kind of cops usually don't end well

how much do you really like them? ahve you figured out what u'd wear with em?

>>7132107
Yes, obviously.

>>7132107
Would you wear them? Do you only cop because it's on sale?

By the way, are those comfortable? Bought them as a Roshe substitute.

>>7132074
i agree with this
needs something bulky on top
also i would lose the watch cause it doesn't really fit in

>>7132107
Yes.
Even if you change your mind you'll probably be able to sell them for at least how much you paid. And if it's the colorway you want what reason is there not to cop?

>>7132107
w2c

Has anyone owned a pair of these that they bought tts? I've got a pair on the way and all I've read is that they'll be a bit snug, which I'm fine with, but I haven't actually seen anyone saying this who say that they own a pair.

>>7136351

Obviously shoes like this are the reference, but the difference in color and detailing make them pretty different shoes. That's the whole point. They're styled like these shoes, but they don't look like these shoes.

>>7136359

i'm impressed by that stitching lol

So is /fa/ buying into the fedoracore trend or what?


w2c fedora

they're fucking ugly so no
not to mention only autists wear running shoes when they're not running
