Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

[LA Guy]

I got a couple of pairs of Adidas NMDs, which are also pretty comfy. Those are okay, but I think that they'll date quickly.

@nicelynice definitely not stupid; i wear my pair more than anything else these days.

@nicelynice I'm a fan of the VaporMax so I'd go for them. They're definitely not as versatile as GATs though imo.

I wasn't aware there was a laceless version outside of the CDG collab. I wish I had known before I got my pair.

 

[penanceroyaltea]

Yeah the vapormax look great! Go for it man.

I need a new pair of sneakers, my Margiela GATs are on their last legs.. I prefer something I don't need to lace because I mainly wear sneakers when I want to slip something on and cruise around the neighborhood. Before I just buy another pair of GATs, I've been thinking about Nike Vapormax SEs, which are crazy comfy as well.

Are these stupid? I can only find them for like $50 above retail, too ($270). I'd mainly pair them with jeans and sweats

Same as these, but without the Comme des Garcons branding

you can also wait for these:

I’ve been recording colors and brands everyday for about 9 months now. It’s pretty easy to punch in the values while my morning coffee brews.

I noted the color of each article of clothing as well as secondary colors in some cases. Then it’s just a matter of gathering all the colors for each month, getting the frequency table of each color and plotting out the percentages.

Do you control for visible area? Or does a tie count as much as a shirt? Oh, this could be fun... I can see a colortracker app that analyzes daily selfies and autopopulates the tables...

Some of the NMD/Ultraboosts look really good

I got the Sean Wotherspoon Air Maxes and I can't help thinking I'd rather have another pair of GAT's or CP's.

There’s a pair of Margiela plaster GATS in 43.5 I just returned to RealReal

Well yea, they're ugly af

 

[Tabooku]

I cannot figure out why anyone who isn't a sneakerhead would wear vapormaxes, they are honestly awful.

 

[hendrix]

yeah I don't get the vapormaxes. Other much better Nikes, and if you want to do that kinda old tech shape there's better options from Reebok and Puma etc.

you can flip those for like 600 and get what you want...

Probably what I'll do, just list for cheaper than Stockx/Goat through another method?

ugh so my greatest clothing related fear has come true and I appear to have been hit with wool eating moths. Didn't have time to fully survey the damage this morning but they put holes in a howlin' knit as well as my sns stark at least. I have cedar blocks but apparently they didn't do much. i ordered some sweater boxes as well as traps and camphorwood blocks. i also bought eucalan soap to wash my knits with and am going to remove them all from the drawers and clean the drawers pretty well. anything else I can do?
