>>6577067
fabric selection and usage combined with italian wages and laborious construction methods

while rick is hardly artisanal, a lot of the stuff is biased which requires long preparation and a lot of garments are patterned in ways that are fairly wasteful and somewhat difficult to sew, to speak nothing of the necessarily high r&d; it's quite a lot different from mass production.

see the materials issue is just another reason rick is worth what he charges, but it's also smth that seems totally beyond the person who decides to make these kind of threads -- the dude who maybe lacks a complete or even satisfactory understanding of what the brand is but still wants to put something with rick's name on their body.

but nevertheless they always seem to be trying their hardest to ignore or forget about the fact that for like $50 they can not only own a rick piece but also just a great-looking shirt or skirt or w/e in its own right

also i like the viscose blend a lot ~^____^~

I wanted the traditional black/white, because it's a bit more versatile than all white, and all black designer shoes are too easily mistaken for other things, you know?
Even though Geos have a distinct silhouette for you and me, when they're all black I feel the details dont grab people in that first few seconds, you feel me? Of course, if you want a more understated look this might be for you.
Also, I can see someone wearing the white ones all the way down the block, but that could be just me.

They are all completely viable and versatile options for a first or only pair of hightops. The main benefit of the black/white or black geobaskets is that the color will blend into your socks/leggings/pants since you will probably be wearing mostly black over white bottoms.

White Geos would just be slightly harder to incorporate into every outfit if you are short or have trouble playing with proportions/silhouette.
