You're not alone. I think they look like shit, personally. That is of course my own opinion, but I think they look like a cartoon character's shoes. I know /fa/ is all up on this current trend's dick right now, but these shoes would never "grow on me".

>> No.6641666

I like their silhouette, but the soles are too big and they are too bulky. I'd never wear them. Just not my style.

>> No.6641683

>>6641647
I thought the same thing when I first saw them, it really took some good time for them to grow on me. I think they look amazing from the back now. With that said, everyone still has different tastes, its ok if you don't like them, even if /fa/ chews you up for it.

Well, as I said—it's my own opinion. I had the opportunity to try them on so I took it. I think they're too bulky, plus they just don't fit my own appearance. I didn't really like how they felt on my feet, either

>> No.6641744

>>6641712
That's kind of the point of rick though, he makes outlandish clothing that's meant to look very different from the rest. He does not like subtlety. If you don't like the style, that's fine. Wear what you like, not what /fa/ likes.

these are well designed shoes, a fully realized thought. outlandish and made to look different isn't an excuse to use that sole as a raising toecap thats virtually grappling with the vamp at the front. what's with the bottom of the sole? where the is that complimented, anywhere. WHY is the tongue extruding that much, I understand that he's being outlandish and ~different~ but this is still a sneaker; practicality and utility cannot and should not be thrown out the window

No, they are actually just shit and fit horribly. Have you ever worn them? They are uncomfortable.

Yeah, you're right, all fashion designers should craft for practicality only.
His sneakers are satire by the way, he's making fun of ridiculous sneakers. If you don;t like them don't wear them. How is this hard?

fashion designers can be conceptual, and I was aware that he is a conceptual satirialist. His execution though falls a bit short. Just because you are making fun of something doesn't mean you make something bad too. enter Young Lean exit glasspopcorn

German's being classy doesn't make Dixiefolk classy.
Besides, during the civil war the South boasted Anglo-French ethnic nationalism.
