I don't understand how these are meme shoes. They're rarely posted or talked about, much less recommended. I think that some people just say that about these because they feel weird about cdg stuff that's affordable. CPs and af1s are meme shoes

Because they were constantly posted and fanatically recommended when /fa/ materialized

Currently for this quarter CPs fits the bill since people mindless buy into "muh quality""the only shoes that goes well with shorts" but can't justify similar pricing towards a decent jacket or a few shirts.

"meme" clothing is a buzzword to describe anything that's popular on /fa/. As everybody wants to be a special snowflake and not have the same clothes as someone else they discard this piece into a "meme" so it becomes inherently bad because of this status.

IMO this is dumb because if you like the shoe just buy it and wear it.

>> No.8454071

Anything that's popular.

>> No.8454076

>>8454068
/fa/ is the place where cop or not threads are filled to the brim. People dress for /fa/'s approval and to seem cool, not for themselves.

If you like something, get it. Not buying it because /fa/ says it's a "meme" is just as dumb as buying it because Asap Rocky wore it in a music video.

>> No.8454079

>>8454068
I agree with this partially.

once something reaches a certain amount of popularity and how often it's recommended, people start to hate on it and call it "meme" when they probably have a pair already.

whenever I hear a garment called meme it seems like people hate it and love it at the same time, it's just part of /fa/ culture and it's so damn stupid.

wear it if you like it and there's nothing wrong with having someone lead you to something you realize you like, but there is something wrong with someone telling you what to like.

>> No.8454328

I never really liked cps. I don't think they're that superior and you just can't justify the price.

Geobaskets and almost anything by tricky ricky looks fucking autist outside of a fashion show.

AF1s are plain bad and for niggers. Roshes are kind of ok but look cheap. I like trainerendors better.

Some rafdidas are pretty good, but the rest are just meh. Raf velcros are kinda ok I guess.

But the worst thing you can do is owning every single piece that's discussed on this board or any other internet site. Because it means both you suffer from a several lack of personality and you're dumb enough to waste that much money on screaming to the world you want to be cool.

so normal converse cost 0 dollars? Regardless, most people don't ask you the price of the clothes you're wearing. Even so nobody freaks out at $100 sneakers, that's pretty standard.

I don't really feel anything about generic basics with the CDG Play logo. I think about them little.

They seem like they'd function as an easy way to signal that you know about fashion in an otherwise super-basic fit, but usually IRL it just seems abused in that capacity. Like with the fits it's usually deployed with it's usually not, "ah, I see, clever under the radar fit, fellow fashion person." It's "hah, this fuccboi thinks slapping on CDG Play is supposed to mean something to me."

As far as "meme shoes" generally, >>8454068 is right. And worse: it shows the people using it are so trapped in the 4chan echo chamber they don't realize that there's a fashion Internet outside of it and things getting saturated and then PTFO is old as shit.

It's also not worth paying attention to like AT ALL. Most of the supposed "meme shoes" aren't even PTFO, they're classics or just plain good stuff.

I don't remember fa changing "overplayed" to "meme" until recently because of a couple of shit posters.

Ill always think that meme shoes (or anything else) will be something that is backed by a lot of controversial hype that triggers impulse purchases and turns most of them into sheepless fashion victims.

People tend to think "Oh I like X" and then justify it by saying "Well it goes well with everything stop liking what I dont like""Enjoy your pleb shoes while Im wearing shoes made from Italian tears" while a few post later asking "What pants match with my latest cop"
