Was considering buying this shoe recently, dont know whether to choose between all black ramones or these.
This week on my youtube feed i click on a video by frugal aesthetic shilling a pair he bought. This naturally got me thinking if geobaskets and Rick Owens in general is/was the next objective stepping stone for 2017 era hypebeasts. You also see meme pages on instagram pushing this meme.

If you have to ask, its not /fa/, but im torn on deciding whether I should go for ramones instead, simply because of the fashion victim hivemind

Picked up a pair a month ago after years of going back and forth on whether I actually wanted them and once I put them on they ruined all other shoes for me.

>> No.15447549

don't bother.
geobasket ship has already sailed imo.

i prefer the more outlandish colours of ramones that aren't seen on every explore page hypebeast introduced to rick through meme -pages. they can be more pricy than the standard ones though, and most likely will have to be bought pre-owned

Rick Owens is boring as fuck and yes, just the next thing for the former 350v2 wearing strappy skinny cargo-fags. And also for gays (ESPECIALLY FURRIES) trying too hard to seem cultured and artsy but suffering from being American, or worse and more likely, CANADIAN

Cop if you like, can afford, and have clothes that pairs well together with them.They are just pricey leather sneakers. Why do you need to ask some nerds on 4chan?

OP here, in all honesty this silhouette has a lot of flexibility with exotic materials and different color schemes. It’s a shame that pairs similar to the images you posted are considered so underground, and the stock geos are currently on the way to being treated in the same fashion as Jordan 1s.

Personally if I got my hands on a pair, I would go for the standard, but wear them to the bone. Age gives it character, and it will look good not because of the fashion victim hivemind, but in spite of it

Buy reps.
Wear them for a month.
If you still REALLY like them, buy retails.

>> No.15448980

i had a pair for a while in the winter, and while they were comfy and really cool to own, i found it very hard to properly style the rest of my outfits around them.

You sound like you really like them, and they're a great shoe. Definitely better than Ramones.
I'm really not a fan of the classic colorway though. So many ways to style it just look played out. Black or all milk would be far better, and a less rated color that goes well with your wardrobe would be even better than that.

The only way to wear these is hyper ironically.

>> No.15449126

they are hard to style. if u go all black or reverse leather, then it could sort of work as a military boot replacement, but in gen I'd say dnc

Bruh... These looked like literal clown shoes at their peak 10 years ago. Now they're even only more absurd.

>>15447909
>nobody except flyover state life crisis geeks wear rick owens past 2010

Basically.

I never liked Geos, but they're so past their prime at this point in the game; you'll look like try hard idiot to anyone who knows what they are...and like a literal clown in bloated clown shoes to 98% of the general population.

That said...if YOU genuinley like them...buy them. But they're about as far away as you can get from fashionable in the current year.


Tbqh, if you're looking for a dated, formerly hyped silhouette... Raf Vandals are the patricians choice. They still go with anything, lightweight, durable... just a solid go to everyday shoe.
