>Made in Italy
nice

no white no buy
yea ima racist

>>9420834
I like the other ones better

>>9420834
$1k

Thats so fucked up. If the price was still $450 i'd still get the whites but fuck that shit.

>>9420834
>$1k burger bucks

Fucking retarded

Do all raf high top velcros have the 'R' on the pull tabs? I've seen pictures where only one of them do, and others with no 'R' at all.

>>9421390
Both of mine do...

>>9420881
This.

are they true to size?

>>9420834

You can keep that

>>9420834
that's a really bad photo

>>9420834
Why the fuck are these 1k now?

>>9420834
That price is ridiculous. I bought mine last season for 380 usd. How come they marked them up x2?

>>9421688
because theyre made in italy & (might) be better quality than your made in portuagal holographic yugiohcard ones. I doubt any new iter's quality will live up to the ones produced before 2008

>>9421694
Bought black ones actually and they're still crisp as fuck. To be honest, I find it hard to belive the quality is going to be any better this season compared to last.

>velcro shoes for $1K
you man children need to learn to tie your shoes

>>9421694
>holograpahic yugioh card ones

my sides

>>9421398
>both of mine do...
god I feel sorry for you

SMH at the price. They were I think $440 new two years ago. Absolutely disgusting.

>>9421933

but muh made in eetalee

>>9421390
Some models don't. Floral velcros don't have them

>>9420834

Ian connor shit and a price bump?
LOL
Raf shit is WEAK you can keep that

really lost respect for raf cause of this

obvious shilling jew move, just cause they are stamped with italy instead of portugal they somehow believe they are worth more than double the price.
this hack has not made anything notable in the past 2 decades, unless u consider making hundres of ugly recolored velcros, walmart running shoes, the most awful adidas collab and terrible graphic prints/decals groundbreking.

niggers ruined raf

>>9422107
this

>>9422107
yeah this tbh, blacks appropriated white culture

i was stopping by my sister's high school to pick her up today, and i saw some nigga wearing real white high velcros but the rest of his outfit was like thrifted. damn nigga

>>9422228
how did you know they were real. did you go up and inspect his shoes?

>>9422223

in a less racially phrased way - it's more that hip hop culture loves dropping luxe brands without actually taking the time to appreciate design, fabrics, history, etc. that normally is part of the organic development of one's style and cultivation of taste.

it's more that this crude, cred-seeking culture thinks that it can appropriate style and class (i guess you can say haute couture) without putting forth the time and effort to truly understand it

>>9422247
so basically blacks are too primitive to appreciate designer items for values other than the item being expensive and to show off?

>>9422277
"muh dik"
"muh chainz"
"muh hoes"
"muh raf"

holy SHIT 1000 fucking dollars?

who the fuck is willing to pay 1k for a pair of shoes, just cause they're made in Italy

>>9420834
>$1k for velcro shoes
LMAO

>>9422277
where did i say blacks?

there are plenty of white fuccbois

but if you want to get into a racial discussion, the hip hop fascination with luxury goods is motivated in part by a history of oppression. luxe goos could be seen as the white man's doman, or the barometer of success. so for a historically oppressed culture (and i'm throwing hip hop in here), yeah, it is appealing to name drop luxe brands.

i think it's pretty fair to say that most of the current obsession with luxury brands and products is materialistic and not aesthetic...regardless of race.

>>9422105
Wow looks like you know nothing about Raf idiot

idk why the black hightops are liked as much as they are... the whites are nice but imo the order goes lows>white highs>any other designer sneaker>vans sk8 hi>black hightop velcros

>>9422311
so what you're saying is blacks are appropriating white culture?

>>9422339
Yeah basically

>>9422339
when blacks buy anything expensive they go full nigger and tryhard to show it off because they feel less inferior to whites
when whites buy expensive shit they act cool and calm about it

are all black portugal velcros worth copping for $350?

>>9422328
the white lows are too nice it's true

lol when i cop a pair of 10/10 condition 09 italian white low's for 450 last week and these come out for 1k... raf you dissapoint

>$785 USD

>>9422703
I'm not going to sell them for 350$, I got a guy asking 420$

>>9420834
why is the fucking sole curved?

>>9420834
It looks off for some reason, as if they changed the design.

>>9422703
The portugal version looks better than the italy ones

>>9422230

the real ones have a rounded top strap, whereas the fake's is more square. i really only looked at the top strap cause thats the main way you can tell if the shoe is fake or not. his were rounded.

>>9423968
Definatly, the toebox on the Italy ones are too pointy

What would you all be willing to pay for a pair of 06 black highs? The "og", if you will.

eternal reminder that modern day Raf is a talentless hack

>>9423968
Portugal feels like it's made of plastic compared to Italian ones

>>9423980
>Definatly
How can so many people get that word wrong?

>>9424036
Not that guy, but it's a word I've fucked up so much I have reworded entire sentences because I could not spell that word in text

>>9420834
can cop geobuckets at this price. what the actual fuck. Raf is a btich.

>>9422328
I think ur opinion is pretty shit tbh

>>9423930
>420$
Lmao yea sure you're not being troled at all

>>9424059
High-tops are almost always shitty, all they ever do is fuck up pants and people never seem to understand that Raf has always covered his high-tops with the pant hems.

You don't need to showcase the high velcro's but since everyone's a fuccboi they do, and it makes the pants fit like shit.
Low-top masterrace.

>>9424056
yeah, but why would you want to?

>>9421688
Because you probably got some poo colorway that was deeply discounted. They have always been around $700 but it's still a ridiculous markup.

>>9422703
W2C?

This is a smart move by Raf. By pricing his items higher he's giving his brand more prestige/desirability. He was probably sick of seeing 15 year old Australian scum dragging his name through the dirt.

Guys, it's fucking ssense, they have dumb prices for all their items. Don't blame raf for it just yet.

>>9424079
Made in Italy, more shoe, better shoe, better materials etc
I already have.

>>9424053

>>9424091
>>9424120
>made in Italy
There's no markup from the originals, these are different shoes than his Portugal velcros.

You can only wear this with black pants or shorts
that is limiting as hell

>>9424421

Why can't you wear it with gray or navy pants? How about jeans?

>>9422362
I've seen a lot of dumb ass shit on 4chan over the years but this has to be one of the dumbest statements I've ever seen. Lol

Fuckin post pics

>>9424507

A cuffed gray tweedy trouser with Velcros and a nicely fitted dark sweatshirt with a jacket seems like a ridiculous easy, comfy fit.

>>9424580

Can't wait to see what ballsy old dude will fuck with these in SF.

>>9424602
You can't even image such a simple fit without the aid of pictures?
If you really think only black goes with black then you really need to broaden your horizons.

>>9422339
Are you lretarded? Do you need to be spoonfed everything? Cant you fucking read you stupid nigger?

Do you know what an analogy is? I've owned both and there is a considerable difference in the quality

what is the sizing like? pls help before they're sold out again for a year

>>9428901
Italians are TTS
Portugals you'll need to size down

>>9428901
Just take true to size. You can fasten the straps to your liking.
