Should I cop these fake/rep Ramones? Can't justify 600+

>JUST CAN'T JUSTIFY 600 ON CANVAS AND RUBBER
Never going to make it

All Rick replicas suck balls, complete waste of money.

Reps aren't /fa/

Either you save your pennies or buy something you can justify

korean reps are 1:1

just want to try a new aesthetic before full commitment

You can't just into a style without having some idea of how you could pull it off

you're aware you can get ramones on grailed and shit for like 300 right

link?

The previous owners always treat their gear like trash though

Yeah but there's no way to tell how it would look on you or incorporated into your daily wardrobe. Its hard to judge exact fit based on pictures. Buying a rep would give OP the ability to get a pretty good idea of how it will look and feel.

Plus I hate this notion of "just save up for it", just because you can save up for it doesn't justify the cost. If you told someone you spent $600 on some chunky converse they'd question your judgement.

OP, buy the rep. The people who notice (which will be a very small group of people) will give you shit if they're assholes, only a dick will silently judge a stranger because they of their choice in shoe purchases.

Did you get a job in a Circus as a clown or something?

if you have the money but can't justify it, honestly ramones (and rick footwear in general) can take a good beating and look better the more thrashed they are. theyre one of the more versatile RO silhouettes as well. I spent $290~ish on a brand new drkshdw canvas pair on end of season sale.

I've gotten so many compliments and inquiries about my pair and it's fun to discuss how they're actually designer footwear inspired by converse. can't imagine telling someone "o yeah the shoes i'm wearing are actually replicas of designer replicas of chucks" lmao. plus fake quality is trash and if you actually like the silhouette you'll immediately want the real thing.

if you still don't wanna cash out just get 70s converse

>>11871091
yes. all these self fulfilling poorfags are full of shit, get em

>you will always be aware that you're wearing fakes

trust me. It's so much better when you've got the real thing. If you've never had the real deal and keep buying reps, then you'll never know the feel.

>>11871091

how do these look though?

>>11871363
yeah man i'm sure you get a lot of compliments on your $600 oversized chuck taylors and you're really the life of the party. there's definitely no chance that people don't think it's weird or cringey when you talk about your $600 chuck taylor shoes.
