Tricky Ricky

[Anonymous No.12658346]

Hey /fa/ggots,

I recently purchased a pair of DRKSHDW canvas-upper high-top ramones. I absolutely love the shoes and have been wearing them as summer sneakers with shorts and large t-shirts most of the time.

Yesterday I found some calf-leather low-top ramones for $550 in my size and have been thinking really hard about whether or not I want to get them.

While I love the high tops, I feel like the leather low tops are more versatile (I think they would look great with some cropped pants) and seem like better shoes for the fall and winter.

Could any of you guys give me your opinions on whether or not it's unreasonable to own two pairs of ramones? I think they're both great shoes in their own respects and could both be used in different ways. I also feel like I could spend the $550 on another pair of shoes or more clothes that are a lot more different (I really love these ramones though).

Another option is to trade the canvas high tops I have for the leather low tops (user on grailed said he's good with the trade if I don't want to make the purchase).

What do you guys think? Am I getting tricky ricked or is it understandable to want two pairs?

I agree that they look similar but I really like the chunkiness and distinctive look of the ramones. If Chucks looked more like ramones I would definitely get those instead :/

I have had people tell me that the highs look like "Chucks on steroids" but I don't think anyone would ever actually confuse the two shoes with each other

if you really wanna get them i think you should. in my opinion shoes are the anchor of a fit, so if you have the wardrobe to support it and you can structure really nice fits around your shoes then it's worth spending the money. I loved my high top ramones, love my geos and really wanna get a pair of low ramones for the same reasons as you, just dont have the funds bc im in college rn. if i had money i would have a pair. so it all comes down to asking yourself "is this how i want to spend my extra cash at the moment"

I don't have "rick fits" bc I can't afford the drop shorts or pants so I typically wear mine with more snug black jeans and then a larger t shirt to balance out the look. If I posted in a waywt thread I'd probably get called a pleb or brokeboi or something but I like my fits.
