if I had that money set aside for shoes, I'd get either a pair of nice shell cordovan shoes

or

guidis

modern raf highs are made in portugal fyi

Ultimately there is no best shoe, just get what you think suits you/your wardrobe.

>spending $1000 on shoes without knowing for sure what you want
not a good idea lmao

The rafidas all black Stan smiths.

Those margielas in that one post Malone vid.

>implying anyone can tell the difference

OP here. Cool suggestions, but I already have boots and am really just looking for sneakers.

>>10802481
I have the money. Why not spend it? I'm not one to feel buyer's remorse, so I'd rather cop something this week.

>>10802484
are these the margielas that you are talking about? I like them, but not as much as the velcros

>>10802485
you're retarded

I just ordered the last fucking pair of Velcros in EU44 from Tres-Bien and it says Made In Italy

http://tres-bien.com/raf-simons/classic-velcro-sneakers-black

How the hell do I notice the difference between the Portuguese and Italian leather pairs? I've heard the tongue on the Italians say Size number/style code and "Made In Italy" in Gold but I've also heard that their also exists a pair with JUST numbers in Silver.


Also there are pairs with black metal straps to make it Triple black and there are pairs with silver velcro locks like in pic-related.

How do I paint them in black/make them all blacked out?

i wish i have the heart to buy raf his, i have the money, but buying raf means i have to eat like a poor man, no bars, no outings, no shoppings for 3 months minimum. maybe next year. maybe.

>>10802540
yea, im not sure. Might only be possible with an in-person comparison of the two (quality and whatnot)

Surprised that Tres-Bien is selling new made in italy velcros. I think they haven't been in production for 2-3 years now.

>>10802540

i tell u why there's so many differences

1st made in italy
2nd made in portugal
3rd now made in italy again
4th now slimmer heel/ankle

each of those models is slightly different

>>10802408
If thats the style you like, get some Margiela Futures
