Why do the black ones cost 600+ but ive seen the white holos go for 400 ? usd btw

>> No.7692757

Well, in general I think black leather looks bad on sneakers. Most especially when it's glossier like the new rafs.

>> No.7692770

>>7692753
holos are gimmicky. Raf's velcros are impeccable in design and shape (IMO), but i've never seen him release a non-ugly colorway aside from plain leather and that one blue suede pair he released.

black ones went on sale for 400 on ssense and a couple other places as well

anyways op the new ones wont be as good quality, i doubt theyre "shit" tho

u could ask teddy hes owned both

i got my og blacks for 300$ so if u have 600$ to spend im sure u can cop og italian ones if u can find a pair

how'd u get them for 300

>> No.7692918

Idk about the all black, but I have the navy/green one's from this season and everyone was hiveminding the "lol portugal enjoy ur shit quality" when I bought em, but honestly its a load of shit. They're fucking great quality, lined in supple ass leather, the texture of all the non-leather materials is nice and substantial as well. The green part even has a semi-holographic quality to it where it looks black when you look at it from certain angles. The soles are stiff and will obviously handle a ton of wear.

Portugal Vs. Italy quality arguement is just fuccboi hearsay

he bought used. I'm down for a good deal, but shoes are the one thing I can not bring myself to buy used. Not even just the "ew germs gross" side of it, I just like breaking in a fresh new shoe so it hugs my foot perfectly. Fuck walking in a shoe the shape of someone elses foot.

And the new black holos made in Portugal are really good quality from what I can tell from my pair. Don't have an Italian pair to compare though.

nah, never handled the italian made ones. They probably are made from slightly better leather or something, but the portugal ones are definitely nothing to complain about or regret.

It's like, if the decision is between new, high quality Portuguese velcros; or used, slightly higher high quality italian velcros. . . I'd personally go with the new ones. Still ridiculously well-crafted shoes.

could anyone tell me theyre experience with the sizing on these? I read a few people saying that they run a bit large so you could actually get your regular size or a size lower. Then i read a website (shoebaloo) that they are true to size.

I suppose they are tts. I am a size 45, and I bought them in 45 but they feel kinda loose. They are still super comfy and wearable though. I imagine I could have fit into a size 44 and the fit would have been snugger.

They're pretty shitty compared to the old ones. The old ones use way better leather and are a lot more comfortable.

wow, didnt notice the toebox difference, the new ones seem slimmer though width-wise and a big taller.

some people say to size down a whole size. i think it's too much though. so it depends on if you're on the small or big side of 42.

They have the same sole as cps so yeah size down to a 41. That's the size I wear in cps and I'm a 42.

IDK if you should size down that much. I have 43 CPs that fit perfectly and I got the same size in velcros and they're a bit big, but 42 would likely be too tight

thanks guys, Ill just have to wait until they arrive and see if they fit good. I could always resell them I guess. I would be terrified to sell them on marketplaces though since ive never sold anything worth that much money before and im afraid of getting scammed by a buyer.
