Wear low Ramones out to social gathering. Mixed crowd.
"What's with those Mickey Mouse shoes? They look kinda like chucks, but they look weird."
"Uh-oh, no-nothing.."
>goes to car, takes old ratty gym shoes from trunk and return wearing those instead.
god fucking dammit Veeky Forums
Letting your shoes wear you, hue hue
I think they can look nice. They just require an understanding of proportions.
those are clearly too big for whoever owns them
based on what you wrote you got not business wearing ramones or any rick really
you seem the normie type
I was gonna make a separate thread but I'll just comment here.
Veeky Forums isn't the real world, and the real world isn't Veeky Forums
If you were the kind of person those were for, your friends would be the kind of friends who would know.
I moved to LA recently and everything coveted on the internet looks like a fucking joke in real life.
Yeezys on chubby jew kids at Taco Bell on Beverly Blvd. Geos on squat, out of shape Chinese guys. It's laughable.
I'm sure at some fancy loft party there is someone wearing geos and everyone knows its Rick Owens and goes "Oh look, more expensive clothing on my rich pretentious friends."
The thing is, you just wanted to get in on it, and that's totally fine. But it isn't for most people. I got a load of Homme Plisse and I get roasted by anyone unless I'm around my peers at work (fashion design. not retail)
tl;dr get better friends
Is this some kind of meme? Here in Germany I get compliments for Rick all the time. I don't even care about memes, I like it for moody Goth aesthetic.
they're just shoes who cares
Here people would call them fake converse
Fuck being in a flyover man
They def. don't look cheap. Leather and sole stitching alone tell it. It's like saying CPs are fake Stans.
But again you can't impress normies with "obscure" designers. They only know and are impressed by some shit like Gucci, LV or Armani.
They're boring for what they are. They're fucking horrid shoes.
>going to a social gathering where the people wont recognize ramones
>going to a social gathering where the people wont appreciate the shoes for what they are, even without recognizing them as Ramones by Rick Owens
>changing shoes mid party for no apparent reason other than that someone commented on them so everyone can see how insecure you are
>not simply answering with something along the lines of "yeah theyre kinda big huh thats the point"
>not having the ability to wear clothes that are even less "out there" than rick owens, but having the ability to pay for it
start again. learn how to dress yourself.
I've heard the joke with "mickey mouse shoes" too. I still like them though. Just ask "what's wrong with them?", they are just shoes after all, it's not like you're wearing turbobaskets.
if this is a real post, it has nothing to do with this board and everything to do with you being insecure. did you purchase the shoes because you liked them? or did you purchase them solely to show off? because not only are ramones not the flashiest ro sneaker for your buck, they just look like kingdom hearts shoes to your standard pedestrian. but they are still interesting and like any other rick item they're a good way to make conversation.
a normal, well-adjusted response might be "oh yeah they're a parody of chucks by this high fashion designer I'm a fan of who likes weird silhouettes"
if I lived in LA I probably wouldn't hype half of the things I see on the internet up to myself as much as I do. walking down melrose and seeing 10 pairs of the same yeezys in a row on some awkward looking chubby teenagers with ripped blue jeans and sunglasses is the weirdest thing ever.
Rammone lows look like shit, either get a high top or a different shoe alltogether. The whole idea of them is to look exagerated, but exagerated shoes focus too much on foot length and toe size (Mickey mouse feet). Should return them if you can. Otherwise buy a better pair of Rick shoes/boots. Personally I think his sock boots look nice, you should look into those; Ive seen them on sale for around 500 brand new.
this
>caring what other people think
kill yourself OP
This. Your average person doesnt understand Rick or any kind of high fashion style, why would you care what they think? You should dress a certain way because you like it, not because others do. Because when you live according to what others want, you lose yourself just as much.
Awkward Veeky Forums stories are my fav :,)
these guys know whats good.
Growing up in LA put me off of the idea of trend hopping. Every trend you can think of is beaten into the ground within a couple months.
Fairfax Village used to be groups of skaters doing dope shit in front of the stores they worked at. Now its 13 year olds struggling to do ollies and carrying chipotle drinks while they go by on penny boards.
Dress for your actual style. Your lifestyle. Kanye can dress like Kanye because he's Kanye. His income comes from fat kids in LA who think they can be like Kanye by wearing Kanye clothes, but they could never look like Kanye in Kanye's clothes because they ain't Kanye.
lmfaoo not using that opportunity to flex on people

this was satisfying to read
damn fucking normies
>wearing gosha reeboks
>normie friends starts talking about shoes and his brand new fake chucks, literally fake chucks
>asks me what are my fav shoes
>well, there are many, this is one of them
>how much?
>200
>there are lame converse blows these outta water
real world is cruel my friend, best you can do is laugh at them in your heart and make yourself feel better about yourself for your le patrican taste
god i can't imagine being this self conscious. u shoulda defended yourself? like, this is a high fashion item you obviously coveted. u didn't need to go on an all out explanation of fashion and blah blah blah but you coulda just said "...they're rick owens". don't let people walk all over you user.
thats because gosha reeboks look like materialized autism
>He bought low top Ramones
I don't know what you were expecting desu.
they are just normal reeboks with gosha written on them, just cooler colourway and thats it
i live in country where zara is top tier fashion, anything above zara is seen as weird or bad
>Talk enthusiastically with family and friends I trust with my gay fashion hobby
>Show them some grails
>They see the price
>"Oh come on, user. That's a scam, don't fall for that shit. It's so overpriced"
>mfw
yup. seems like most of Veeky Forums acts like this. Have some fucking confidence in what you fucking wear you beta
>they are just normal reeboks with gosha written on them
literally my point.
I don't fucking understand the people on here who think you should wear ramones as if they are chucks. I see this shit posted all the time. Ramones aren't fucking chucks, if you wanted to wear something like chucks, buy fucking chucks.
Ramones look goofy as fuck and really need an exaggerated outfit silhouette to be pulled off properly or you WILL look like a clown. Rick shoes aren't for short people either.
>Show them some grails
thats where u fucked up
lmao fucking loser
mods need to start enforcing bans for all flyover state ip addresses that post here
>choosing friends based on their fashion knowledge
what a vapid piece of shit you are
>"oh yeah they're a parody of chucks by this high fashion designer I'm a fan of who likes weird silhouettes"
>normal, well-adjusted
out of touch with reality the post
are u implying hi ramones are somehow the better choice?
because all rick footwear is fucking trash
clown shoes, str8 ugly, you look like a fool
i wish i knew your friends so i could send this to them and show them what a faggot cunt you are
They look ugly alone on pictures, but really nice on feet if you wear them right like any designer stuff.
I myself hate niggers and chubby white streetwear kids who nuy Ann D, Raf and Rick shoes to wear them
with their ugly ripped blue jeans.
You will never succeed, bc your submissive nature holds you back. You let society dictate your future.
didnt he die irl?
Based on what? Rick makes a few extremely normal looking shoes. So get off your high horse, fag.
t. somebody who doesn't even like rick owens that much but is willing to realize when somebody is an idiot
thats not how the t. works u insecure fag
they are even more of fags then me
exept few
People buy this shit which doesn't suit them, their lifestyle, their personalities, etc ect because someone on the internet told them this was high fashion and will make your taste better than other peoples.
Sneakers like ramones/geos are literally supposed to be functional shoes, in a certain kind of context and lifestyle
It ends up looking ridiculous out of context and the people who wear them are almost always oblivious or uncomfortable
He killed himself
you don't naturally drift toward people who you share interests with?
i spent a long time with people I didn't share anything with, and it was the most miserable time of my life.
only after i developed completely new relationships in a new city in a new country did I start to feel like myself, and like I belonged.
being with people you can't connect with sucks.
Mind if I ask what you do at your job? And does it pay well
Not him, but I'm process engineer for logisitics. Wear Uniqlo during work and full Rick in free time. Earn 3000€, but living alone I have nothing else to spend it on.
2 Options
>Get some fucking confidence and dont get all depressed because of some twats opinion
Or
>Accept that Ramones are a much uglier and much more expensive version of ine of the most popular normie shoes
Cool, thanks man. Sounds complicated
Not that complicated, I basically oversee all processes in the warehouse and analyze them trying to find out where to cut costs and where to update to save some time. It's fun and everyday is different. Also everyone, be it management or warehouse plebs, likes you.
>implying anyone has ever recommended ramones apart from beta fags that bought them but are too embarrassed to admit how awful they are
So, I got quite far with my Rick warderobe. Have all black Geos and Runners, which shoe should I get next? High or low top Ramones?
buying shoes before jackets means u shouldnt be buying rick to begin with
It's meh, i don't care most of the time, but it can be lonely
pods or prisoners or cargos
Yeah I think a better thing to say is more like
"Yeah they're like chucks but chunkier, I like big shoes."
Some clothes
cargo baskets
no offense but this post was dumb as fuck
and nice colorways
Best ramones is the white one
Its ok user some people tell me my disruptors are ugly. But remember..
There are always people who will be absolutely obsessed with them
Did you read my post? I said I already have enough Rick stuff to wear.
>2 detroit jeans
>3 cotton level tees
>2 silk level tees
>2 longsleeve tees
>Pods, prisoners
>Bauhaus leather jacket
>Denim jacket
What else do I need? Also, what is a good winter Rick fit?
>implying people on here understand Rick
wow you guys are a fucking joke
How the fuck did you buy all that Rick without knowing how to make a fit out of it? How fucking retarded are you? Kill yourself faggot.
What do you do with your life
I meant which items are warm enough for winter? I don't own any sweaters of him and all the jackets I tried are more of a fall-type.
your more autistic for changing shoes, be confident desu
hahah that's my mom when i show her anything i want to buy, she usually likes it but wishes i would save my money instead.
my brother is a hypebeast fuccboi but atleast he understands most higher end fashion and thinks it's cool
true I really only hang out/ converse with people with at least a fringe knowledge of fashion, maybe that wouldn't fly with absolute normies
Low Ramones give much more of the "Mickey Mouse" look than the highs. it's the combo of the very large toe-cap without any height to it whatsover--they objectively look like clown shoes.
Literally clown shoes
>like Rick on other people
>would never wear it myself
Anyone feel the same? It wouldn't suit me at all, but I always appreciate a good Rick fit
