Debating to cop:
700


700


700


(Choose 2 out of 3 above)

Or the SLP destroyed denim, although I have a really hard time justifying paying that much for a pair of jeans.

Also, thoughts on this year's Balenciaga Low Arenas? I need a pair of black low tops.

I didn't really like the Balenciaga lows. The perforated ones? Would skip everything you posted pics of... maybe the SLP if it fits you well. Otherwise, in that price range you might as well get Balmain. The Goyard is pretty whatever unless you can get for a great price (not sure how you would though).

Everything above would be copped at almost 50% off. The SLP denim you would cop or the bag shown above?

The Givenchy slip ons are insanely occult-like and I want them for some reason- I know it's a bad choice.

@nahneun Yeah that's true, I'm only somewhat on the fence because I haven't tried the double zips on in person and am unsure of their fit compared to the other a1923 that I've tried on. Also they weren't as comfortable as Guidis but eh I'll probably end up getting them anyway

Denim. The bags are "OK". Maybe at 50% off or so? MMM's backpacks this season are nice too and similar if you want a comparison.

@coolron Not to play devil's advocate and talk you out of a grail purchase, but the a1923 are definitely a much more aggressive boot that looks best with other aggressive clothing. Guidi are pretty versatile when you get down to it. So to choose between those 2, it would be a good idea to consider what you'll be wearing with them.

MM on Barneys is only leather. Trying to go away from that as I already have a leather bookbag. Thinking of Want Les Essentials now as it's almost half the price of SLP, but really unsure.

it's cool but you need to be really slim to pull it off.

I don't understand this part.

it's probably just poorly worded. he probably meant the a1923s he tried on were not as comfortable as the guidis. but yes, engrish!
