You should definitely buy other shit first

geobaskets are boots built on thickened sneaker soles in the vein of massive hi tops from the late 80s and early 90s. there's nothing about them that's difficult to pull off, there's no requirement to pair them with more rick owens. that's why they sell so well in the first place, because there's a broad appeal and they're so easy to wear.

>>7386464

The hunger for geos is killing me. I'm not entirely sure what to buy around them, though. I like them with black skinny jeans (I was thinking Acne?) but I obviously also like RO lounge pants.

Should I go pants -> t-shirt -> geos? Or I could probably just go pants -> geos

>>7386484

if he just wears them with anything he might end up looking like a nigger

>>7386491
you're just caught up in the hype son
geos are def not worth your 1100 dollars if you don't know what to wear with them

>>7386491
you're deluded.

>>7386502

i have a p big supreme collection that's worth shit that i could sell for the money if i really wanted, that way it's not coming out of my pocket entirely

inb4 fuccboi idgaf get at me

>>7386511

we were all there once

>>7386520
yeah, but maybe if I say it enough people wont have to go through it

>>7386511

What's wrong with wanting to do it right? I don't want to spend a ton of money on shit I don't need, like I don't need four different long t-shirts before I can look good wearing geos, I want that eventually, I just want to get started somewhere and i have no idea where.

>>7386491
Save up some more money and buy a pair of RO cargos with your Geos. If you live in NYC, walk in the flagship and count out the twenties. Wear 'em both with AA tees, something cheap. You just spent all your damn money, but you look dope.

when are you idiots going to figure it out? if you can't fucking walk in the store and buy a full outfit you arent the target customer, rick doesnt give a shit about you, in fact he probably laughs at you living on ramen for months to afford a single pair of sneakers

>>7386565

lol

>>7386565

I'll be there eventually. But now I'm a student who's supported by his parents, I can't justify $1,000 sneakers and I don't have a job during the semester. When I get out of college and start working, that's another story

>>7386565
rick isn't exclusive

>>7386565

this isn't how fashion works anymore. Post-Kanye wearing a Givenchy skirt on national TV and ASAP Rocky blowing up, obviously they're thinking about those customers (as marginal as they may be)

if money wasn't an issue I still wouldn't buy geos
they don't look good. and no casual/versatile shoe should cost fucking $1100

>>7386591

I was about to say that I wouldn't wear them all the time, rather sparingly, but obviously I have to beat them up.

>>7386450

>>7386585
that's what he says but we all know they look so fucking bad. Fat people shouldnt be allow to fashun.

>>7386614
how long can you hold your breath

>>7386565
>>7386579
nah. read any interview with rick or, more importantly, the people in charge of sales at both owenscorp and his flagship boutique:
>Rick’s vision has been adopted by the most amazingly diverse clientele imaginable: the planet’s rock and roll elite, successful underworld characters, movie stars, rock stars, film producers, fashion savvy millionaires/billionaires, opera divas, fashionistas, bankers who are tired of looking like bankers, students who save their dollars painstakingly for months to buy a T-shirt ...
rick was a penniless goth a few decades before you were.

>>7386952

>>7386952
I remember this thread

>>7386754
The first I've seen where the geo's don't completely dominate the entire silhouette.

>>7386754
>be asian

>>7386450

>>7387026
God damnit, why does everything look better on a black person. Life's fucking unfair

>>7387104
but hey at least youre not black

>>7386952
is it bad if i actually like this? obviously none of the fabric matches but the way it's tied or whatever looks cool

>>7386512
lold

First you got suckered by Supreme, and now you turn your Hypebeast mentality towards Rick Owens

>>7386604
So fucking bad

>>7386754
>>7387026
>>7387579
So fucking cool. Contributing.

>>7387583

What exactly is getting "suckered in?" Everyone likes things for different reasons, why do you like what you like? If he saw someone wearing Supreme and liked the fits, he's allowed to like Supreme. If he likes fits of people wearing Geos, he's allowed to like Rick Owens.

>>7387579
michael cera with long hair

>>7387609
Because of internet hype, Supreme becomes the coolest thing ever. You spend a lot of money on it, only to realize you don't really like it a year after the sense of hype has left you.

But what's this? You discover another subgroup of the internet fashion community, and they idolize these cool shoes. You must have them.

Rinse and repeat. A little long term planning and thought might be a good idea, if you don't want to end up with a completely incohesive wardrobe made up of hype pieces.

Spend some time developing an aesthetic that you like. Buy pieces that all suit this aesthetic. That way you'll also like your clothing next year.

This dude must feel like shit.

>>7388310
I know i've seen that type of shirt/singlet a thousand times, but the colour is really starting to grow on me, w2c?

>>7388357
>>7388355

why do you guys care what people say about other people on a forum

>>7386491
What that one guy said. In NYC there is a RO boutique downtown around SoHo. I visited it the other day. In my opinion they don't feel like they're worth the full price. They did give me free water with RO signature as branding.

>>7388371
its probably rick

>>7386604

is this even real

>>7388310
is this kid like 7 feet tall damn

is that poet?

#protectpoetatallcosts2k14

>>7388596
Take me.

>>7388310
Serious question time: Would you sign up for a journey to Mars on a ship captained by this man?

>>7388573
>>7388586
>>7388596
so whatever happened to the guy? he pull a case? just disappear? found a life outside of /fa/?

>>7388596
poet's not the captain. poet's the hyper-intelligent android who nevertheless possesses an unusually intense capacity for human kindness and caring. at the end of the movie he sacrifices himself to save the rest of the crew, but no one realizes.

>>7388640
man, you need to get off of 4chan for a bit...

>>7388655
you can't tell me it isn't true though

>>7388634
He wrote a lenghty diatribe against /fa/, gave up his tripcode and left. I don't know where he is now, or if he has joined another internet fashion community.

>>7386565

Dude, alot of people buy used rick stuff. There's no shame in that. It's people like you spouting bullshit, those are the real idiots.

>>7386585
his prices are

>>7387579
Fucking Jay from clerks

>>7386754
high quality leather looks soo amazing

>>7387669

But like, what's to say everyone isn't going to just buy what they like? All of the kids who are into it now obviously aren't all into it just because it's a trend - who's to say I'm just following a trend? Where does it become genuine?

I say this because my first example of Rick was actually in Paris, not on the internet, when I saw a bunch of dudes wearing drop-crotch pants and stuff and asked where they got it. I wasn't influenced by any of these new celebrities who wear them, it was seeing it in the "wild," if you will.

>>7390255

basically, why is my interest any less genuine than anyone else's?

>>7388933
>He wrote a lenghty diatribe against /fa/

where can I read it?

he seemed pretty cool but everyone made such a big deal over the fact that he put thought into his posts and contributed, like everyone should have done, but since he was the only one doing it it suddenly became a big thing

>>7387026

Where do you get jeans like that?

I've always liked the look of light jeans, despite /fa/ mostly hating them, but can never find nice ones anywhere.

>>7390255
>>7390267
I'm not saying it is, as I can never know what your interests are based on.

I can however say that it will do you good to do some long term thinking and develop a personal style. That way you won't end up selling your Geos in a year like you're contemplating selling your Supreme shit now.

That being said, I see nothing wrong in just buying a piece because you think it's cool.

Why does everyone rave over Rick Owens? He looks like a dick... you're all sheep. Be different you faggots.

>>7390442

For lighter washes, I think a few brands really excel at them. Geller, BLK DNM, old Dior Homme come to mind. A lot of Japanese-y brands do some rip-and-repair stuff, too, like PRPS and whatnot.

>>7390822

Yeah. I mean, I'm really far from getting the Geos, I've been thinking about them for months and months and months, it isn't like I've thought about that I'm just following a trend, but we'll see. I gotta get the other stuff first.

>>7387104
>being brainwashed into hating your race
If everything looked better on blacks, why are most models white?

>>7391013
Because the most prominent fashion designers of our time are from countries where people (and therefore models) prodominantely are white.
