Fix Up! Look Sharp v11: "there's like 8 of us here" - General

[QUOTE=Mbbird;50302903]it's a shame that there's so much "prestige" in purchasing particular streetwear brands. The budget fake option is regarded as that bad because you're faking more than just the look but also the "reputation." It's all very stupid but there's a reason people hate fake yeezys in particular, and it's honestly subtly depressing, but it makes sense if you take into account those rules. Imitation brand watches are exactly the same thing, like Invicta or Armani, but watches aren't as popular and so the "reputation" of owning a real classic luxury watch is perceived to be appreciated by basically nobody, so faking that it isn't a big deal.[/QUOTE] Ok, if you flaunt it around like its real and say that it is real you can fuck right off. While I don't LIKE fake clothes/shoes, if you are wearing fake Yeezys I'm not gonna hate you or anything like that but I still think it's lame. I can't buy Yeezys so why would I wear a fake pair? Not for me.

[QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;50302887]I don't fuck with fake shoes at all.[/QUOTE] there's certainly a moral dilemma to be found in buying fakes and supporting ripoffs but it doesn't sound like that's what you're on about at all, you just come off as elitist

it's hard for me to judge the quality because that's the worst colorway

[QUOTE=Mbbird;50302981]it's hard for me to judge the quality because that's the worst colorway[/QUOTE] its pretty much 1:1

I don't like fake shoes and I think if you buy fake shoes it's ugly. I don't own a pair of Yeezys so I'm not "being an elitist."

[QUOTE=Firecat;50303064][url]http://imgur.com/a/58sTr[/url][/QUOTE] the one's that mbbird posted aren't even davids. new player showed up last week and people are getting their orders today.

new ultra boosts drop in foot locker tomorrow and i want them but i'm so short on cash :cry:

[QUOTE=Dysentery;50303733]new ultra boosts drop in foot locker tomorrow and i want them but i'm so short on cash :cry:[/QUOTE] damn, i wonder if my local store is just being discluded then? or they just have no idea what they're doing or talking about.

i dunno if it's in stores but it's definitely online

[QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;50303482]I get what you're saying. Let's just leave it at that I don't like fakes and wouldn't wear them.[/QUOTE] ok

[QUOTE=.Lain;50306131]ok[/QUOTE] Someone's upset they wear fake shoes lmao

[QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;50306343]Someone's upset they wear fake shoes lmao[/QUOTE] Dude it's already been established that you don't like fakes, there's nothing more to say about it. nobody cares stop posting about it

People call out retail Yeezys too, the fact is that rep's have become so good unless you're lurking r/repsneakers every moment of your life and are fucking inspecting them two inches away it's going to be hard to tell high end reps from legit one. Anyway stop being so anal about what someone else does. Would you go around in real life calling people out for fake sneakers? Nobody really gives a shit if they're not being tools about it and flaunting like they have money. (People wearing fugazi 50$ ones is still hilarious tho)

My friend is legit walking around school as we speak with someone else's FAKE Yeezys and saying that they're his. That's just so lame to me, don't you think?

you're an idiot lol i don't own any rep shoes

[QUOTE=.Lain;50306497]you're an idiot lol i don't own any rep shoes[/QUOTE] But would you wear reps? Serious question.

[QUOTE=Firecat;50306684]Because resell prices are rape and the only legit shoes id buy are <100 or shoes like common projects Shame on someone who doesnt want to pay 1.2k for burlap sack shoes w a pattern[/QUOTE] Then just don't buy it?

I love my pair of patent leather Carolina 1s. So fucking icy.

this thread is like being on reddit

fuls is an r/streetwear rehash

hip Fam

Ralph Polo's still in fashion?, kind of went on a binge shop of them and bought one for everyday of the week.. First post here as well. Yoo!

my boy took me to zara today, thought it was a women's store but damn they have some nice shit for guys. not as expensive as i thought it'd be too [editline]12th May 2016[/editline] Looking for a simple watch like this, it was $199 in-store, but I could probably get the same thing (not armani) for a fraction of the price online right?

Maybe give a Timex a shot. [URL="http://www.timex.com/watches/weekender-fairfield-tw2p91200"]This[/URL] one is sort of similar, though the band is a lighter leather. $75 [editline]12th May 2016[/editline] Mbbird might come up with some better choices though [editline]12th May 2016[/editline] Hell, there's a dedicated watch thread, head over there and ask
