So I went through the phase of, "oh man I need/want to cop geobaskets."

Now that I learned a bit more, I was hoping we could have a thread where we talk about the shoe.

What do you like/dislike about Rick Owen's Geobasket?

i like the bulk

i like how some panels of the leather are smooth while others look almost pebbled

i like a thousand little details that aren't even worth talking about

i don't like the classic colorway

i don't like rick's laces
they're a bit thin for my taste to begin with, and they stretch out like a bitch once you start lacing and unlacing, so they're even thinner at the end of the day

i don't like the jingling the zippers make
i'm basing a lot of this on my cargos, and they have 2x the zippers which means 2x the jingling, but i imagine the geos still jingle a fair bit

>> No.7201502

If you don't care that much about quality is there any reason fakes are bad? Like say you approach it as a cheap shoe that you like the looks of. Like if I'd never seen rick shoes but someone showed me the shoes in the OP and I bought them what is wrong with that?

It isn't hurting designers because the people buying 37 dollar fakes are never going to buy the real thing anyway. Besides if they can make a rip off that looks good enough for people to buy it then they are basically doing his job better anyway. Obvious this wouldn't apply to enthusiasts because the quality of a fake would never be enough to satisfy them but for people who don't care its seems alright.

That said I dont have the style to wear either the fakes or rick, I'm just always confused why there is so much hate on fakes (as long as the buyer isn't trying to display status by passing them off as real).
