ITT: /fa/ items you've never seen worn IRL

I have never seen meme apparel irl

Except maybe the peasant ones like Nikes

I've only ever seen rick shoes on short Asian teenagers 100% not joking.

Never seen any Raf sneakers

Saw a guy wearing white cp achilles mids while I wore my lows. We gave eachother a nod.
A dude in a store wore all black geobuckets. We talked about clothes for 30 mins. Never seen velcros or any other /fa/ items.

>>8622197
I've seen them a few times, usually at clubs or in the CBD. I live in Sydney AU

>>8622197
i've never actually seen Stan Smiths, seen plenty of AF1s and Roshes though

I've seen a lot of stuff, geos, raf holos, rafdidas, trent reznor wearing his pod shorts and rick boots...
What I haven't seen yet is someone wearing CCP drips or Y3 qasas
I'm in Paris so it helps

>>8622228
this with any designer clothing

>>8622294
i've seen real and fake around sydney

>>8622354
what do fakes look like / what's the tell?

This is your homework for today. Fill in the 3 features for both shoes that let you tell the real one from the fake.

>>8622213
I've seen a guy wearing a fedora with cutout rage comic faces taped on.

Seems pretty meme-y

>>8622379
- offwhite sole, possibly different rubber?
- zipper
- short tongue

) detail on the side doesn't connect to the bottom
) no zipper, longer tongue, eyelets seem further out
) shorter toe

is that okay?

>>8622197
i've only ever seen geobaskets on a fat, middle-aged man dressed head2toe in rick with his wife dressed head2toe in lululemon.

this was at barneys btw

>>8622400
+ material seems more like pleather than leather

>>8622354
Yeah I've seen fakes on a few fuccbois but there was a photographer at a club i was at a few weekends back with nice distressed ones. He was comically short though.

I've never seen any of these things irl apart from wearing most myself

-Anything Rick Owens
-Anything Raf Simons
-Anything Ann D
-Anything Yohji
-Anything Y-3 even
-Any other Nike Runners apart from Roshe and Free Run 2.0

There's more but I can't really think of anything. Amsterdam is not very fashionable really

>>8622402
Before the internet high fashion was for rich middle aged dudes to play dress up in on the weekends

>>8622406
>>8622400
good job young fuccboi ;)

>detail on the side doesn't connect to the bottom
On some geobaskets it doesn't connect to the bottom, it depends on the size of the shoe. Dreamboxes have really poor quality stiches on the back. This is what they should look like.

>>8622438
Back of some fakes, note the thinner sole too.

>>8622435
can you elaborate on any of the points?

>>8622438
what's poor quality stitching? i'm imagining loose thread, missed holes and generally loose material

>>8622414

I've only seen Rick Owens, Y-3 and other Nike shoes in Rotterdam and at some festival.

I think the person I saw wearing Rick at the fesitval was an old tripfag, Lesbian Vampire Weekend.

>>8622379
the joke is that both of these shoes are fakes

>>8622443
>>8622452
posted before i saw the picture, thanks

Do you ever think about how many people (apart from your friends/fam/..) who see you actually know what you are wearing?

>dressing for anybody but yourself

>>8622455
hahaha you ran into lvw

live in nz auckland and surprisingly have seen most of it, and some other cool pieces overseas too.

Oh well, I made this anyway. Note the smell thing isn't a joke.

I live in ohio... The only shoe I've seen that caught my attention was a pair of air yeezy's. But those aren't /fa/. or fashionable.

>>8622484
thanks dude, appreciate it

>>8622478
mad jelly

>>8622487
you in cle brah?

Some stuff i've seen more recently.

I saw a guy wearing raf velcro highs, but they were a really weird colourway and he looked like a massive faggot. Was really near LCF.

I saw a guy wearing dreamboxes who was sitting opisite me on the tube. I made sure he knew I was taking a picture on my phone while sniggering to myself.

I've seen a few guys in Common projects, one guy in Achilies black lows, he was also wearing a dress, and a couple of other non-fa uniform ones.

I also saw a guy wearing one of those dress nappy looking things with rick shoes.

Yay East London.

>>8622545
Cheers bro

It's the weirdest thing I own at the moment and surprisingly enough the response among my friends has been largely positive. One guy said it sounded terrible but when he saw it he said he wanted to hate it but he actually thought it looked cool.

>>8622228

if you can't tell the differences and claim to love the shoes you are a fuccboi

I've never seen dreamboxes in person but they probably look unbelievably shitty and the differences would be glaring inb4 some nerd who bought them and has never handled designer shoes comes in saying "nah dude they are great just like my nikes :) "

>>8622650

you probably met shui

he's a nice dude, dude.

>>8622484
I have noticed on fakes (I have seen fake jordans some guy I know likes to buy smh) and the leather is always cut really half-assed and it's all crooked

the eyelets for the laces usually look bad as well

i live in a mall town in the middle of nowhere and a guy passed me in legit white geos yesterday

i've never seen any variation of flyknits irl

>>8622197
I've seen two swagfags with geos, dick owens shorts and oversized black sweater. They looked so silly.

>>8622379

The BIGGEST difference with all these rick fakes is that the real ones have this nice cream/off-white color

>>8622701
They make me want to buy some ben and jerries cookie dough ice cream.

I've never seen any sort of Rick.

I've seen Yohji, Raf and MMM, but no Rick

>>8622701e!
Tripfags go home! This is an anonymous website!

LMAOOOOOOOOOO I know that weird looking nigga with the lame haircut that comes up at :33

well I don't know him i've seen him at school

I saw some guy dressed goof ninja style with Rick shoes and a manbun when I was at Six Flags. My family and friends laughed at him while I was secretly mirin'

>>8622734

Montreal is the /fa/est city in Canada tho

>>8622769

>going full goof to Six Flags

While I can appreciate Rick's aesthetics behind his style, things like these is what make me laff and realize that outside certain certains, goofninja is truly horrible and awkward

r/ing that screencap/pasta explaining this in detail

Saw a guy wearing Geobaskets in Brooklyn outside of a Barnes and Nobles , a friend of a friend has Raf velcros. Uber jelly.

>>8622787
if it's clothing he likes to wear i don't think he would give a fuck if commoners cop feels over his fits

>>8622797

>implying that's my point
>unironically using the term "commoner"

a couple months ago I got excited about seeing fucking cdgp converse in the wild. pittsburgh sucks, literally just now exiting 07 hipster phase

The only thing I've ever seen that gets any talk around here is CDG Play. Two asian tourists on separate occasions, both wearing white shirts with a big red heart face.

I've never even seen anything like roshes or stan smiths.

Saw some guy wearing carhartt pants but he was obviously some kind of construction worker.

Never seen geos, af1 or anything /fa/. Then again I don't go out as much cept for workplace.


Saw a qt asian wearing a cdg headpiece the other day though.

>>8623151
>never seen af1s
really?

and are you sure it wasn't a "COMME DES FUCKDOWN" beanie that's not the same thing

>>8622962

those are items that are worn by regular plebs. Do you live innawoods?

Never seen any CCP, Rick or Ann D.

Live near Toronto, seen KVA a lot.

>>8623203
>>8623198
lol not innawoods, just a backwards ass town of 60k

It's not even that small of a town, just maritime canada.

There are even a few retailers that sell roshes, but I haven't seen anyone wearing them.

I did however see a black guy in a comme des fuckdown beanie at winners lol. Couldn't stop laughing

Apart from /fam/
All I've seen were a few pairs of mayfly and a few pairs of jawns. Never any serious meme wear and I've been lurking for about a year now
-LA

I saw Andreja Pejic with those a couple weeks back here in NY

>>8622197
live in the middle of england and I have yet to see any /fa/ items

>>8623174
Yea.

It's cdg headpiece from this season, I'm sure of it.

>>8622307
I've seen a ton of Stan smiths. And its usually while I'm wearing mine lol

>>8622737
i had to go back like twice before i realized that kid was wearing canvas ramones lol

>>8622655
"ive never seen them in person"
"if u cant tell the difference ur a fuccboi"
u dont even know if u could idiot

i used to work at a mall where A LOT of Asians would come down from Vancouver to shop.
i've seen ONE pair of fake ricks, which I called him on and he got visibly flustered.
i've seen ONE fake Supreme x CDG hoodie, but she was HELLA chinese so i dont think she spoke enough english for me to rek her.
One guy came in wearing CP achilles lows and was surprised when i complimented them.

thats all

>>8622197

I guess the only thing that really stands out is probably Sruli. Everything else shows up in most of the cities I visit sooner or later.

>>8622379
thats a different side of the shoe in each pic you fuckin fucc
the dreamboxes have a zipper also

I go a high dollar mall and I've yet to see a single person in ANYTHING effay.
It's all Pakis and Brazilians in straight leg jeans, football shirts, and Pumas.

I saw Asian tourists wearing CDG play tees and a tattoed guy with what looked like a Rick hoodie.
I moved to the fashionable part of my city, I hope I'll see some /fa/ people sometime.

do friends count?

outside of my friends & myself ive only seen 1 pair of yellowed as ricks looked amazing, some y-3, mmm & lots of bape cause nigs

>>8624254
& a fuck load of nigs wearing cdg shirts, jesus that shit is almost as played as nigs wearing comme de fuck down, shit is cringe

I've only seen geos once. There was a guy on a techno party dressed in full rick if I gathered correct (goofninja in any case), he had them. Was bald, chubby and had a hipster 'stache. Reminded me a lot of Fantano if he lost all his muscle mass. He looked very amusing dressed in all that as a matter of fact. Wouldn't be surprised if he browses /fa/.

seen countless CPs, ended up sitting next to a dude at the airport and we both had white lows on
saw this dude in a great fit with full visvim and hender scheme new balances

never seen visvim fbts in real life, never seen any super high end workwear stuff like vibergs

I remember the first time I saw someone wearing rick it was a girl with the ramones boots and a long dress. I followed her for like a block for no reason just looking at her clothes. Fuck I'm weird.

>>8622655
this. The quality of clothing is so obvious up close.

Especially if you look at the notions on things. THe dreambox zippers are probably gross.

>>8622464

One of the retail assistants at Gladys Sym Choon on Rundle has a strong designer sneaker collection. GATs, Adirafs, Raf Stan Smiths, Rick Tech Runners.
There's this one guy that I see all the time on Ebenezer with MMM x Converse chucks.
There's some guy at Adelaide Tafe that wears fucking Dream Boxes.
Plenty of Asians wearing Balenciagas, Balmains, Lanvins.

if u see somebody in the cbd wearing our legacy runners it's probably me :^)

Plenty of rich asian students wearing their geo's(maybe fake) with PS, Givenchy or HBA. Generally bad fits.

Spotted rafidas in the wild for the first time today.

>mfw i saw a homeless man wearing completely worn off black velcros

he looked like raf's retarded cousin, too

I've seen Rick irl while I've been on exchange in Tokyo, and it looked pretty sick.

I've rafdidas a few times though, and they look even worse in person than they do on the internet. I really struggle to see the appeal

I have seen Michele Lamy in Paris around rambuteau if that counts

>>8622414
>implying wearing anything other than those brands is infashionable

>>8626921

Not what I meant, I've haven't seen anything other noteworthy brands else I would've mentioned them. Amsterdam in general has very few fashionable people and a few Asian tourists with interesting fits. Most people wear Hypebeast like Obey or wannabe high-class stuff like Ralph Lauren polos etc.

I've seen pretty much most /fa/ things in perth, not that often though, but saw this guy who was hypebeastin p hard. I've actually had /fa/ namedropped to me a few times in conversation with people about fashion

I seen guy with geos I said shoulda copped af1s

>>8627545
I was in Freo today and I saw a guy wearing a HBA shirt. Was also in the city, effay quality between the two is quite noticeable. Most effay guy was in skinny black jeans, docs, and a cable knit. Also saw a guy with Ramones in the old Myers building today. Was at Karrinyup on Saturday, 16-20 year old girls all dressing tumblr sports-goth without realising it as its just what's getting pushed here atm.

Personally would never cop anything grail, I don't earn enough to justify it, haven't seen anything amazing.

>>8627569
I saw a cute couple with matching HBA tops, and every now and then i see people wearing p decent stuff like undercover and neighbourhood. Its definitely not like sydney where ppl can buy this shit in a brick & mortar, but perth is peppered with ppl that kno their shit. Aren't they mildly pushing sports goth stuff at general pants? idk.

>>8627536
Where in cfl

>>8627586
Most of the effay people I see are Asian, gay, or chill as fuck surfy looking guys rocking the austhetic.

General Pants is so irritating, its arming the plebs with memecore. The internet doesn't dress me but its pretty funny seeing every 18 year old in Stussy or Vision Streetwear. But hey, I'm a big box retail manager, and we're selling the the sports number shirts, and cargo / sweat pants and other shit.

Went and did all the mens stores in Northbridge and Freo today. Both were really disappointing, Pidgeonhole had some okay stuff but would not cop any of it. I'm happy to pay $$$ but not when I know the markups vs the quality of the clothing.

I saw a 9/10 chick wearing geos in croatia. The outfit was pretty bad, tho

I won't lie, i'm always scared when i wear raf velcros. I'm scared that someone recognize the brand and judge my fit. I don't want him to think something like "he is wearing expensive clothes but he looks like shit" or "he is wearing expensive clothes but he is ugly and his haircut is terrible"

fuck

saw an old lady wearing dreamboxes on the tube in london, i was too confused to take a picture

>>8628020
just imagine you wear them to the supermarket because they were the first shoes you grabbed at the door and someone takes a picture of you in your "whatever-I-threw-on-while-I-was-half-asleep + raf velcros"-fit and uploads it

underrated post

have not seen geos in the wild, but have seen pretty much every other type of shoe/boot /fa/ has jerked to since 2009.

it's always on people that don't fit the stereotype of the footwear at all either which I really like. Madison can be kind of cool sometimes.

>>8629246
oh and then the FOB type are always sporting shoes exactly how you'd expect. which i'm surprised i haven't seen one of them wearing rick yet.

You know almost all zippers are ykk, right?

>>8629255
