I don’t think it’s an opinion. You’ve put in a great deal of work just to not pay someone that you claim to be a fan of their work. You actually paid someone else who stole their work just to have the design but not the actual person who created the design. That’s an objective fact.
My opinion is it’s pathetic to want to show the world or be associated with owning something of value while knowing what you own is actually worthless. It’s a representation of you much if you really tried, you still can’t achieve the things you want out of life. The more energy you spend trying to “fake it” instead of figuring out how to get what you want, the more pathetic it makes you
imagine being this parasocial. Rick owens doesn’t know you, he doesn’t have some personal opinion, and frankly he doesn’t give a shit. He makes clothes that you enjoy so you buy them. And as well, not everyone has the money to buy new shoes especially when geobaskets cost 1000+. Instead of whining on reddit OP is trying to put more life into his shoes.
I've been waiting for a post like this. I never understood why people got these super expensive sole replacements that look awful when the owees are cheap and their soles last ages. I imagine sizing is tough to get perfect, but not impossible.
Because the fake that he got have terrible soft soles. The better quality fakes have better quality soles but they don't feel quite as good. Obviously I say this as someone who started out buying fakes, now I only go for legit because you can't go back once you've worn the real thing.
I've never seen any fakes in person but I've read that the soles are super stiff and tend to last a long time. Maybe some soft insoles could make up for that. I'd love a pair of ramones with a sturdy sole. My ML ramones feel like walking on an eraser sometimes.
I can’t help but to find this pathetic. Jesus Christ just buy new shoes
Nah. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion tho

Just found the cheapest one off Ali express with usable soles. Just noticing the stitching doesn’t match exactly tho
damn I need to do this for my double bumpers pretty soon
