i wish my bf had these :((

op you literally 'don't get it.'

in the first place, those style of trainers generally are a template designers can work with. just like basketball sneakers, german army trainers, the cap-toe chuck taylor style, or tennis shoes. the asics/adidas jogging sneaker style has been neglected and rarely, if ever considered seriously and its no surprise designers have found it ripe for interpretation. raf is just one among many who have looked into the possibility. lanvin off the top of my head (pic attached).

second, ugliness is an aesthetic in and of itself. carol christian poell makes clothes that can be considered ugly or garish (ghoulish might be more appropriate). issey miyake is another designer interested in elevating or thoughtfully producing clothes that are ugly or tacky.

third, theres something going over your head when it comes to raf himself. the shoes follow a streak of retro-futurism present in rafs designs since his collections in the 1990s. this often includes juxtaposition of bright RGB and CMYK sets of colors.

i can understand your perspective since you probably dont really know what youre looking and cant appreciate what's going on. to some degree there is personal preference or taste involved, but there is also an issue of being able to 'see' it. real asics/adidas jogging sneakers look much different than adirafs.

I don't even understand why everyone gets so riles up about these, like everyone is copping them ironcally. They are such beautiful trainers, they are just loud and whacky. People who don't like them seem to close their eyes and act like nobody REALLY likes them in order to validate their own taste.

smh dude.

the shoes are rad but it's sad how fast blog/board hype has killed these things, or are about to.

>>7571277
shame you had to drive poet off.

>>7571206
those lanvins look kind of dope.

you can spout all your fuccboi aesthetic criticism but at the end of the day, the rafdidas are just ugly shoes. plain and simple.

they were pretty good

>>7571306
aren't mazzy star that band with the one good song

>>7571206
Did you seriously just claim that miyake utilizes "ugly" styles. Have you seen his accessory line? It's basically cookie cutter Japanese designer


>opposes sedieat

>>7571319
yeah but they're good other than that too

>>7571319
kinda, fade into you was a one hit wonder, but they have some more good songs if you like that genre.
>>7571315

>issey miyake only makes watches

>>7571323
>>7571717
AND i just remembered that miyake watches themselves are mostly designed by other people, just released under "ISSEY MIYAKE" as a brand name

>Please watch designed by Jasper Morrison
>Vakio watch designed by Harri Koskinen
>Twelve watch designed by Naoto Fukasawa
>etc

dont step 2 me

I think these would look good with black pants cuffed with a couple inches of ankle space(no socks) paired with that green/black raf sweater
