No shame releasing this

>dreamboxes are ''''''high fashion'''''' now

>rick owens' designs are literally ripping off other shoes then making them exaggerated
>people complain when his designs get ripped off

>Originally he ripped off raf velcros
cmon son
if you have to draw raf inspiration, it's way closer to vandals which is just straight up nike rip-off on rafs behalf

this can't be real

how the fuck is fog a thing anyway

these are the people who buy FOG.

rappers wore it

Kek

Huge difference between ripping off and mocking, kid.

this actually angers me
this son of a bitch has no shame at all
im sure rick just laughs at it/doesnt mind it but HOLY FUCK this hack motherfucker needs to be stopped

the best part is that he constantly badgers other brands for 'copying' fog designs

>Every brand is inspired by chucks anyway!

this

oh but when rick copied the nike shoes for his dunks it was ok?

yeah because rick had the original idea to make a high-end parody of dunks like ten years ago (and fully recognized it was influenced by dunks) and jerrbear is just riding the wave without acknowledging it's a geobasket copy.

not to even mention that FOG has copied other rick shit like pod shorts with long drawstrings and elongated tops.

dude's a complete hack.

>every brand is inspired by chucks anyways

what did he mean by this?

kanye wore it, caught on with everyone else, and now it's a huge meme brand. you can easily find people wearing that shitty fog inspired style on /r/streetwear or instagram.

How the fuck does he keep getting away with it? How do people still support him and his shitty Instagram-core meme brand with basic clothing not even worth $300 being sold for $800+? He bitches and fucking moans when another brand uses """his""" design and goes on a tirade in Instagram comments sections over it, but then goes on to pull shit like this, LITERALLY a hybrid Geobasket/Vandal ripoff. Jesus Christ, what a fucking shameless hack.

kanye's also his friend so it's more than a styling connection that gave jerry a push

same goes for virgil abloh which is another fucking hack just like jerry.

virgil's women's is actually really great
his latest men's show was good because he's actually designing from his own life and not just manipulating famous designs and screen printing

his men's is definitely just a cash cow that caters to the same demo as fog

...

my blood is boiling
rick needs to end his existence NOW!

so how is this different than when raf copied stan smiths or vandals, margiela copying GATs, hedi copying breds?

>That shoes as been designed more than sixth month ago!

Because Dunks/Geos only came out a few months ago...

Ugh.

>tfw will never make millions ripping-off fuccbois

see
high end parodies of low end sneakers are taking something from a different market. jerry is copying.

what makes it a parody? theres no parody behind hedi making his own version jordans, its just a blatant rip off. jerry did the same thing, no reason why he should get heat for it

jerry catches heat cause he whines when other people rip him off

he catches heat because he doesnt have his own aesthetic and copies trendy designs thats why

yeah, I feel like hypebeast culture is totally dying and they're just look for brands to hop onto at this point. All the fog stuff is heinous but I feel like the Vans especially everyone deep down knows they're wack, just buying them because they need to buy something

he's the j cole of fashion

learn how to read, faggot

>stan smiths
Those are an actual Adidas collab
>vandals
They only barely resemble actual Nike Vandals.

they're parodies because it's taking a cheap, mass produced shoe and redoing it in higher-end materials and associating it with a high-end brand/designer. it's supposed to be ironic/juxtaposing. heidi's is a parody as well. copying someone else's parody is retarded, especially claiming there's nothing wrong with it. the idea was already done prior. that's copying.

I meant vandals not velcros my bad

rick wouldn't give a fuck

it would be hilarious if kanye criticised them though

the swoosh and the toebox are obvious references but rick will be the first to tell you "yeah lol i wanted to make my own goofy nikes"

jerry lorenzo takes himself really seriously and would probably debate you hard if you told him he was a hack

>there are some people's lives that currently revolve around arguing over a shoe

incredible

like my life depends on this shit lol. fucking normie

>tfw just realized he calls himself Jerry Lorenzo because his father is Jerry Manuel
Kekrekt

his whole brand is fucking built on jacking rick's style and then just adding "streetwear" esque designs to it

vaguely related because these are knockoffs of geos which are parodies of dunks - am i just not looking hard enough or are dunks not easy to find? i'm looking online, there's only a few on nike's website and most are SB brand, and then anywhere else i see them they're all shitty unwearable meme colorways.

yes, that is a sneaker

I own a pair of the original FOG military sneakers in black. Quality of them is alright as far as sneakers go, but just turns to absolute dogshit when you stand it next to something else of the same price bracket.

Jewish Jerry is a fucking hack. Would never buy anything of his ever again for that reason alone. He needs to be stopped.

he had to stop selling them cuz nike gave him a cease and desist

he's not talking about rick dunks, he's talking about actual nike dunks, learn to read

>potato chip sole

o i am lafin

Why would Kanye criticize when he's buddy buddy with Lorenzo

that image is referring to some different streetwear faggotry.

some brand called ndg studios released a shoe a while ago, then FOG released a really similar looking shoe shortly afterwards and this jerry fag claimed that ndg was "jacking his shit" or something.

maybe someone who actually follows this garbage can clarify but he seems like a fucking cunt

oh fuck lol i didn't consider nepotism but now him and his whole shitty brand make perfect sense

can there be a good old Veeky Forums destruction of jerry loripzo?

he didnt use his dad's name to avoid nepotism
his dad didnt even father him correctly, the dude was working retail until he took "his ideas" to a full service manufacture in la

hi jerry

lol the name is irrelevant the fact is he had a rich ass well connected dad

he just started a made in america cut & sew brand with his retail salary and suddenly kanye wore it and he exploded? ok

not a fan of the dude
making fun of him for being in his late 20s still working retail while his dad was actually successful

im still trying to figure out the jerry kanye connection
my best guess is ibn or virgil

it doesnt take that much money to start a company, especially with the pre-order model
that kanye cosign still bugs me because...why? nothing about it is even that great

all these la brands that gain followings are made by guys who dont even have formal training
this is why la fashion will always be trash
