thoughts on raf simons x adidas stan smith?

smiths are literally meme shoes. then you add a raf r on and jack the price up.

why would you want that? to feel special by having the special meme shoe?

Some anon here claimed that they're made of a thicker and ice leather than the basic ones. Personally I would just get the made in Germany ones because I like Adidas and a European made shoe is a kinda special collectable from them, especially a contemporary one.

Stans Smith x Raf are not worth the price. almost same shoes with an R. However they come in different collors which is it's only appeal. If i were rich i probably would buy pic related

I really don't care for the design of the "R".
The shoulder is too top heavy. If it were like this, it would be much better in my opinion.

I find the r looks cheaper that way

Well done Raf, very funny. Wouldn't buy, but commend regardless.

You don't know shit you're talking about. The Stan smith silhouette was released in 1965 for a different tennis player until Stan smith came to their attention and the shoe was made his and given his name. The campus is a low cut basketball shoe from the 80's.

Same concept as the cdg play converse in some respects, paying a premium to be a part of a special club. But they cant reasonably expect people to pay $300+ for these though that's ridiculous, might as well get the other raf adidas since it serves the same purpose and at least has some designer flair.

honestly i like a lot of the raf stan's. the pink ones and the red ones and even the light blue ones are all dope. but i dont get when raf releases stan color ways which already exist. like this is the exact same as just a regular stan smith but with an r on it. like >>9645590 said im all for splurging on shit you like but these are just so similar to the regular ones I could personally never justify it

>> No.9649715

>>9645573
They are very nice shoes, but for full price no way. I got mine for free, but given how they feel and the quality if you find them %50 off then go for it. I've never seen anyone else wearing them and I get compliments whenever I'm in a more fashion conscious area.
