What are some good athleisure tech pants? I'm thinking gyakusou shell, ACG.07.kmtr shoes, patagonia atom sling, and an Arc'terynx neck gaiter

>>12626858
Any of the older season ACG pants, or just go full running-core with tights and shorts.

I have no idea how kmtr's will hold up as athletic shoes though.

Nobody could find these boots in the last thread, let's try it again

>>12626871
what shoes would you suggest?

>>12626956
Gyakusou will usually drop one of the Nike running shoes in a colorway that goes with the latest season.
Trail runners are good all-purpose shoes, I've beaten mine to hell and back.
I don't think the kmtrs are bad, but they're below the line of function your fit is going for.

>>12626969
when does nike drop the gyakusou

>>12626984
Usually the end of October for the winter line.
Spring line this year is absolutely sold the fuck out.
I'll see if the spring line is going to restock or not.

Anyone got some recs for a barefoot/ minimalist shoe?

>>12626952
those boots are sick

>>12626952
Really like the fit except the pants.

>>12626821
This seems to be a restock of past season items. AW17 should drop around mid sep.

Not surprising since those are the two cheapest entries into tech.

Step #1 is to read up on tuxbell on your fashion basics.
Step #2 is you can read the techwear guide.
Step #3 is to buy up basics. For you, Uniqlo, Adidas, Nike, The North Face, Patagonia, etc will all do. Stock up on T-shirts and pants. Find a pair of running shoes and then hiking boots.
Step #4 Research what kind of hardshell or softshell you're going to need for what you're doing. Be it running, hiking, etc.

And that'll be your entry into it from there. Aim for a more casual hiker look so you don't look too out of place at school, work, etc.

>>12628495
r/techwearclothing is slow and a cringe fest in how bad all the fits are and the general knowledge is basically a step up from r/streetwear

supertechwear on sufu is dead slow, has no fits but the cringe of how bad the posts are more than makes up for it. supertechwear is especially bad because unlike reddit and the discord where most people acknowledge they are still learning, the sufu retards actually think they look good and know what they are talking about (they don't)

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Acronym and Techwear in general makes you BALD!

Errolson Hugh, Acronym designer and infamous cuckold, is hellbent on making other males share his bald-headed fate by infusing his polyester rags with dangerous phyto-hormones and toxic chemicals that cause your hair to permanently fall out.

I will provide evidence of this in the following three posts. Three big influencers all who wore Acronym products, all who are bald or balding terribly. This is no joke everyone. Beware.

>>12628642
First up is reknowned scammer and beanie wearer (we now know why) Fernando Ruez. He started out as a hypebeast just like you or me, made it to Big 3 Instagrammer status, then was shamed out of the game as his hair fell out thanks to Errolson's trickery. He's since deleted his Instagram account and gone into hiding to live out the rest of his bald years in solitude.

>>12628645
Next we have jah_eel aka real_russian_spy from Reddit. The innovator behind StreeTech who changed the game when he through a Nemen x ACR shell on over his Supreme Bogo tee. Now sadly, his hairline in shambles, he drifts off into obscurity, dying and then rebleaching his hair over and over, trying to will the baldness away. Sadly, that's just making it worse.

>>12628650
And now for the latest of the "Big Three" influencers to fall victim to the Acronym baldness plague: Karl Nikolai. This swagapino won our hearts with his charming smile and elf-like physique. That look doesn't quite work with a side comb over to hide the heavily receding temples. It remains to be seen if he can hold on, but with another ACR drop just around the corner in 6 weeks, it is not looking good for our spritely young friend.

Don't buy Acronym, don't wear Acronym, don't even talk about Acronym. Not if you value your hairline.

>>12628416

It's not bad. I think what's wrong here is that it's a bad photo, not flattering to the clothes and taken at a weird angle. Also everything is new and crisp, I think this fit looks better after a bit of wear, which helps give it some comfort and character.

not awful, just need some things replacing mainly the standard main thing being the stone Ireland jacket and the shoes

>>12626943
if you wear them like that. I think the intention is that it's part of your base layer, these would be perfect for winter time.

some jackets already have these built in but my current one isn't as comfortable so i'll probably cop some of those

Start out with stuff on the cheaper end like Uniqlo if your budget isn't very big.
Read Tuxbell and the Techwear guide.
Learn about fabrics and what their purposes/properties are.

How the hell can I wear any of this stuff in the summer? Do I need to move somewhere cold to look good?

>>12632200
Since we're talking backpacks.
I use bicycle as the main way of transportation while living in a fairly shitty climate. I want to find a backpack that conforms to the following criteria:
1. Can be strapped securely to the torso so it doesn't bounce around
2. Has some sort of water-proof and/or repellent exterior
3. Can be bought in EU because fuck paying import tax.

From that pic I personally liked Chrome Barrage, but it looks like it doesn't have any sort of zipper or drawstring on top - only the belt fastening. And it's only shipped from the US.

>>12634157
coolmax shirt, waterproof polo/coach for evening, shorts & a pair of suickokes/light sneakers.

leave the cargos & shells for colder seasons

>>12634158
For what it's worth, mission workshop came from chrome and if you decide to go with chrome, try and get one of the made in America bags instead of made in China, they've had a long running difference in quality

>>12634273
Well, ordering to EU from their website including tax would come out at 310 USD. So I'm looking for alternatives. I'm sure there is something nice that can be bought within EU.

>>12634481
You can get both chrome and mission workshop in the EU

>>12634495
I think he's saying his budget isn't that high maybe?

>>12634495
Yea, I've found two EU-based online stores that have them, and the price is either the same or even more expensive. Might as well order from the US store.

And yes, >>12634527 is correct. While I can afford this, I would prefer not to feed my money to 3rd party retailers, shipment company and government. And there might be pretty good options that are produced here and don't require such ridiculous charges.

It's a label that allows hypebeasts into techwear by giving them an easy pass requiring less functionality and more emphasis on brand names. Which is really what most of the techwear people are on reddit, sufu, and discord.

>>12638054
Maybe reddit and the discord. Sufu has always been at the forefront of techwear and still is. The level of communication and the depth of conversations that goes on there is second to none. If you're into techwear and not posting on supertechwear than you're probably just a poser or a wannabe.

>>12638085
>Because you're not in any social circle you don't care
You can be into techwear and not be part of any of those communities or anything in matter of fact.

>>12638093
If you're just some autist who isn't talking to the others leaders of the techwear movement over on sufu, then you're not really going to be doing anything special. No one cares if you DIY a bag or mix discount Adidas with Northface or whatever dude.

Techwear is a social movement and if you want to be involved in techwear then you need to interact with others. That's just the basic concept of fashion.

>>12638222
Better than anything you could put together from your poor person closet. And if you haven't noticed, supertechwear is focused on discussion and not on waywt style fits. You poor 4chan boys can play that here or on Instagram. The real techwear crowd has more knowledge of ACR and other specialist brands in just one or two of its good members such as Inkinsurgent, JimBob or CARLOOA than all of 4chan put together. And they don't need to be validated by your childish fit photos. They already know they are ahead of the pack. So stay mad but you're never going to get it if you aren't already on Sufu for at least 2 years minimum.

Buy basics, save up for essential techwear items like base layers, mids, and outers without the extra fluff.
You'll be buying less, but getting so much more mileage out of your clothes if you pick brands with actual quality.

No.

It's the only style.

>>12641160
Buzzcuts/High and tights are definitely it right now.
Undercuts are played out, and most techwear looks outside of hiking look nice with a tight and short haircut.
But as always, don't go and get a haircut for the sake of a style if you'll look like shit with it.

I'm not going to spend $1000+ on a shell. I live in the PNW and am trying to have some sort of athletic/urban tech ninja/ /out/ tech look. Also navigating the urban spawl

If you're lucky you won't even have to spend that much on a shell.
I got lucky enough to catch a White Mountaineering Goretex Pro Shell Raptor jacket in new condition without tags off of grailed for not even half its retail.
That jacket will be a good start, the quality on the WM x Adidas collab is sometimes above that of even Y-3.

Standard goretex and paclites you can find at like $100-$200
Don't expect to find a pro shell for anything less than $400

that travelwear stuff is weird. It feels like a bad infomercial item or taobao tier stuff.

I personally like these. The other ones look pretty gay.

Has anyone ever copped any techwear from taobao? There's a guy selling some rep acronym on reddit and it looks pretty good. He claims it's waterproof but I'm dubious about the quality

>>12646530
>Reddit
>Buying reps

Just stop

>>12646530
Buying reps is sometthing you can get away with when it comes to Gosha or any other streetwear brand that is more logo than quality.

Buying a rep of a techwear brand will almost always end up looking bad because the whole point of techwear is the use of higher quality fabrics and construction in the clothing itself. Chinese merino wool for example will more often than not won't even be 50% merino.

>>12643480
only if it's made out of carbon fibre and other technical materials like kevlar padding and lining for your butt and legs

anything can be technical, but not everything can be functional. So ask yourself, do you really need an exoskeleton seat with you at all times?

So how much longer until Acronym stops being a meme and becomes affordable?

>>12647475
>affordable
There's that word again. when is it not affordable? assuming you have a job you should be able to buy from acronym.

Also if it was cheaper, everyone would be rocking acronym and making it uncool in the process, we don't want that do we now?

>>12647488
So you define how cool something is by the amount of people that use it?
That's some hipster logic right there.

Besides, Acronym is expensive. You can literally buy an old used car for the amount of money that they ask for their jackets.
It's basically expensive designer clothing that sometimes uses technical materials as a gimmick.

>>12647475
This looks really bad.

>>12647494
>So you define how cool something is by the amount of people that use it?
obviously. hipster logic or not, popular things tend to suck because it gets ruined by profit. there's only so much acronym gear made and so limited, they could decide to mass produce it and cut the price in half but it takes away from the brand and their success thus far.

also if you have to decide between a car or a fancy acronym jacket, maybe you should rethink your priorities and stop being a poorfag. buy columbia or north face if you want to be tech on a budget

we inch closer to "cooler" techwear

>>12647911
I would say that there are definitely people who think that Acronym is good because of the exclusivity and cost, and that's the part of the business model. There is a correlation between the cost and quality that people perceive even if it's not necessarily there.
Personally, I would say that 90% of their clothes don't look good (my own opinion, taste is subjective), and going through the item description reveals that they skip the tech materials in some cases.
Sure, they could lower the costs if they wanted to, but it's not their business model. They create an impression of exclusivity by having high prices and having their own small production. Why bother with large scale operation when you can make a small company with dedicated clientele that will buy your stuff at triple of what it costs to produce?

>buy columbia or north face
I like how you mention these, when these are not cheap brands either. Poorfags can't afford these either.
Poor people don't bother with fashion and aesthetics, they just want to survive with the little they have.

You're not naturally warmer, you have a higher tolerance of the cold.
That doesn't mean if you stand out in the cold for too long you'll get sick or frostbitten like everyone else will. (Me personally I live in a place where it can dip into the negatives with extreme windchill.)
Techwear is about dressing for your environment. So if all you need is a sweater. Just wear a sweater.. Doesn't mean it can't be a cool sweater though :^)

>>12647475
There are other brands giving the same quality if not better for cheaper without the ninja look. Experiment and look around unless you really have your heart set on Hugh's vision.

Business idea: boots that that can be switch between being fully waterproof and being a water shedding jungle boot via some kind of adjustable drainage port

Absolutely.
Dress for your environment. Techwear isn't limited to jackets, and even the jackets can range in technical materials from Schoeller Dryskin, Gore Windstopper, up to a Pro-shell.

>>12652043
Thanks. I'm still trying to get the concepts from the guide but I got a bit discouraged from seeing lots of jackets. I'll keep doing my research then.

Living in a place with temperatures of up to 100° is still a shit though.

yeah, if it wasn't for artificially low supply and high price it would only be another garbage bag coat manufacturer in a saturated market

their claim to the research that goes into designing pieces is dubious at best

At worst it's shitty marketing and you're paying thousands for rebranded nike tier materials with straps and ninja aesthetic sprinkled on top

Hey, if it sells well though it's a great idea.

Not that there's anything wrong with that if you're not actively pursuing quality
