>>
>>11215598
Recent Qasa's have turned into such shit that I don't even care if I own anything Y-3

Especially when the entire silhouette/sole design has been mass ripped off by other corporations for plebs to wear
>>
>>11215607
elaborate? i like them enough to plan on buying a pair but i won't if they really are just overpriced shit
>>
>>11215627
the sole gets worn down after a few wears, ive heard that the neoprene keeps your feet pretty warm, which can be a turn off for some. they are well memed but decent shoes. definitely not worth 400 shekels
>>
>>11215651
i'd never pay retail, still worth? would a cobbler be able to fix them up?
>>
okay they might be memes but these are without a doubt the single most comfortable thing i have ever put on my foot

i feel like the meme status comes from people styling them poorly, you've really gotta commit to the tech/comfy ninja aesthetic to make them work imo

They are the OG tech ninja shoes and have yohji tags so they'll always be "cool" enough for y3 to put them at a 400 price point.

As for the shoes them selves the leather, neoprene, and laces are nice but the sole is super soft and scuffs easy so im always paranoid about fucking them up when i wear them. They the best looking "tubular" style sneaker but if they didnt have yohjis name on them they wouldnt be worth more than 250 imo.

Try to find a better sneaker though. Nothing adidas Nike or any designer brand comes close to this y-3/adidas sneaker in the past 6-7 years

probably needed to pay some designer a shitton to come up with the design

Nothing warrants a $400 price tag. The materials are only slightly better than those on the new Tubulars..

If you are looking for a good quality to price ratio, get pic related.
>>
>>11216723
shit
>>
>>11216723
what a fuck ugly silhouette

also, don't get Qasa. Get Tubular Dooms. You can find them online for around 160-230 and they're probably a lot sturdier and worth the money than Qasas. Have a somewhat similar silhouette and the elastic strap over the toebox is still there which is nice.

say what you will but my tubulars are the most comfortable pair of shoes i've ever owned. breathability in the toebox due to primeknit fabric, extra cushioning due to tubular sole, soft insole, flexible fabric around the entire shoe. say what you will, but they're functional, practical, look nice, and are comfy as fuck.

Here's the thing. You can get shoes made with similar amounts and qualities of materials by Y-3 for a third of the price around the holidays. I love qasas, but I got a pair of comparable y-3s for 117 after shipping last Christmas. I just don't think they're worth it.

>>11215598

I've owned both tubulars and qasa highs, and I've worn both a lot. The tubulars went to shit early on, as the construction fell apart, it got really nasty, no breathability, etc. They ended up becoming disgusting after about 6 months of heavy usage.

I've been wearing my qasa highs regularly (read: every three days or so, during both summer and winter), and they've lastet for almost two years (fall 2014).

I don't know what it is or why it is, but in my experience, the qasas have lasted way longer than the tubulars, breathes better, and is way more comfortable. My only gripe with the qasas is that the sole gets worn down too quickly. It's very comfortable, but you have to be careful. My qasas are now barely usable due to a hole in my sole, but that's also partly because I've stepped on glass.

Anyways, the real reason for the price tag is the Y-3 brand, but don't let that fool you into thinking quality is not a factor.

Pic related: my qasas after two years of heavy wearing, including during rain and snow and all sorts of shit. They still look decent as long as you clean them once in a while.

>>11218332
Yeah, the soles are extremely worn, but then again, it should be noted that I live in norway, and I've worn them a lot during winter (snow/ice + salt) which means they get a lot of extra stress.

I still rock them from time to time when it's dry outside.
