/fa/ - Fashion

>>9622406
Do you mean the most fashionable shoes or the most /fa/ shoes?

If we're talking fashionable shoes the answer would be any number of timeless classics. If we're talking about how the most /fa/, we would be talking about knockoffs of timeless classics that cost three times as much for no discernible increase in quality.

Call me a nigger, but Air Jordan 1s are classics.

>>9622414
How are af1 mids knock offs of timeless classics? Dick dunks are based off of af1s. Also they're only 90$ so you can buy multiple pair. Not that you need to since they look good dirty and creased.

>>9622406
This man can afford any shoes he wants and he's wearing af1s. what does that tell you?

>>9622452
that he's a fucking idiot

>>9622421
this colorway is elementary school-tier though

>>9622452
This man can afford any shoes he wants and he's wearing Lebron 10 MVPs. what does that tell you?

any how, I still think af1s are cool.

ADIDAS STAN SMITH

COMMON PROJECTS ACHILLES

>Common Projects
>anything but a shit-tier meme brand

It's over, CP lost.

>>9622452
What shoe is the manlet wearing? Some generic nike crap. He should have gotten AF1s instead. Only nikes worth buying tbh

>>9622470
Why the fuck would someone buy a knock off of stan smiths, that cost almost quadruple the price.

>>9622492

because they have sick numbers on the side, you fucking poverty-stricken hermaphrodite

>>9622421
cool colorway but god all of those on foot shots are awful
why can jordan fans not understand pants and what looks good with shoes

>>9622487
I disagree.

>>9622492

>>9622503

Nice middle school fit.

>>9622500
No fucking clue.

An asian girl much too short to play basketball. She's wearing them not for sports but because they're a fashion staple.

>>9622468
LeBron isn't into fashion. Ronaldo clearly is

here they are broken in.

>>9622523
>Ronaldo
>into fashion

Wtf he clearly is not you massive idiot. This fucking board needs to be purged.

>>9622546
Then why is he wearing AF1s. He's not a basketball player. He's wearing them for fashion

>>9622561

These are being worn for fashion too.

>>9622503
>>9622508
>Jordans
I don't want to be associated white hype beast and shoe collectors

>>9622569
That's not a celebrity.Celebrities have stylists. So a fashion expert recommended those shoes to him. Therefor AF1s are fashionable

>>9622572

>>9622600

>>9622616

>>9622616

>>9622600
Does this black cunt ever smile

>>9622475
Wow holy fuck I didn't know about that.

Well I've got this version of SS's because I didn't like that green piece.

>>9622635

>>9622406
Any shoe from Gaziano & Girling on the MH71 last.

>>9622452
he dresses like a dirty latin shirt lifter.

>>9622452
That he's better at football than at dressing himself.

>>9622626
>>9622633
Yes he is

>>9622421
I don't get the hype over these shoes. They're Dunks, just with the Jordan name attached and a crappy colorway.

m e m e smiths

>>9622503

>>9624216
Noticeably higher quality and brand. You need to respect artistry.

>>9622870
most versatile, valuable shoe design currently on the market

true classic

It's always going to change, depending on where you are and who you are and what else you're wearing. But as much as I dig some wacky shit too, I think I have to concede that some of the most traditional European (I'm partial to the English) shoes and boots have an elegance that is unmatched in anything else. There's something really remarkable about them.

it honestly makes me kinda sad sometimes when I think that some kids wake up every morning and try to decide whether to wear their stan smiths or new balances. when I think about how amazing it feels to wear some of the finest shoes in the world, it feels odd to compare that to how it must feel to get up and try to decide which mass produced trainer is more in-fashion this week, or will make a more recognizably "fashionable" outfit when combined with black jeans and a parka. I don't mean to come across as an asshole on this; I do understand how people get into that situation, and what it feels like to get caught in trend cycles. but it seems a little empty.

there's something about the heft, the suppleness of the leather, the rich brown of the dye, the perfect evenness of the stitching, the sound of a leather sole on a wood floor. It is a child of centuries of the shoemaking tradition and an artifact of old world craftsmanship. And it's as essential and untrendy as all the best parts of life. It is vanity tempered by a deference to the past; an ostentation that revels in restraint.

It is a manly paean to the foot, our main point of contact with the world, the Atlas that bears all other limbs, the brutish and sturdy answer to the dexterous and delicate hand.

If a shoe is just a shoe, then Stan Smiths are as simple, as unassuming, and as uninspiring, as befits being no more than shoes. But if a shoe is something more, if clothing can mean anything beyond simple fashion, if art and history and craft and feeling have a place in something so utilitarian -- then -- well, I've lost my train of thought. But I do think a classic shoe is a classic shoe. Maybe (probably) it's all nonsense, yet I think there's something beautiful about the man-shoe relationship, and I don't think the cheap leathers and synthetic lining of a mass-produced sneaker are good enough for it. I think shoes deserve to be taken seriously.

holy fuck. you people have terrible taste.

>>9624379
Very much agreed, though you could have expressed it less autistically.

>>9624574

fuck no

>>9624379
You have a problem with accepting the fact that other people may have different thoughts from you

Also the way you phrase yourself sounds very autistic

>>9624379
neeeiiigh, go and eat some straw hoofboi

I'll post my thoughts however they come to me. I've been talking like "ayy fam shoutouts to my the squaddd, waywt im reppin them norwegian stitch niggas fly as fuck tho" for as long as I can remember and I'm fucking sick of it. If elevated tone, latinate words, rhetorical schemes, etc. are "autistic", then I can't go on worrying about what's autistic. I'm not going to brutalize every thought to fit it to the limits of some popular or fashionable diction. I'm done with caring whether some nerds on a cartoon forum are going to think I'm using affected diction out of misplaced nostalgia for a vanished aristocracy.

I have to hear this from people who think the pinnacle of English is Vonnegut or Kerouac, the kind of common speech bigot who would think Pope stuffy or Spenser boring. I have no regard for their whining or their opinions.

>>9625765

You really are a massive fag aren't you?

>>9625795
By your definition, no doubt

>>9625765
> I've been talking like "ayy fam shoutouts to my the squaddd, waywt im reppin them norwegian stitch niggas fly as fuck tho" for as long as I can remember
why would you talk like that you autismus

Is there even a question?

>>9624227
lmao

/fa/ I'm about to cop some Nike Air Force XXV's
How good are they in terms of looks and quality?

>>9626167

>>9626209
>not dunks.

>>9624379
go back to /mfa/ with this shit

>sneakers
>/fa/

>>9624168

My weed dealer wears these. I've never seen him wear another pair of shoes...

>>9629011
>back to mfa

if you knew anything at all about this, you would have said styleforum. or, if you wanted to be funny, you might have said fedoralounge. but mfa doesn't fit. who on mfa wears >$1000 shoes? do you see no difference between Saint Crispins and Clarks Desert Boots?

There is no single "most /fa/" item of anything. If there was, it would get boring quickly and wouldn't be most /fa/ anymore.

With that in mind, there is only a handful of good designers/sneakers that differ in silhouette from everybody else:

Saint Laurent: High court sneaker, wth all its variations.
Raf Simons & Raf x Adidas: Everything he designs
Maison Martin Margiela: Everything as well
Rick Owens: Ramones, Geobaskets, and variations

Other than that there are: Balmain, Lanvin, KvA, Prada, Giuseppe Zanotti, Versace, but I personally don't like them very much

That's all I know and I have experience with. As for shoes, boots or sandals, I just buy anything.
