^^^^ @RFX knows what's up and I wasn't referring to Balenciaga's clothes only them making a size 48 sneakers. I like the feathered response. I'm just glad some people know the real.

What do you mean how do you pack them?  Do these shoes have any special needs or requirements?  Why can't you just pack them in their dust bags?

If you're flying and planning to check in your luggage, I would suggest carrying on or wearing your expensive shoes… just in case anything happens to your luggage.

It's quite simple my young lad. First you will need a suit case preferably one that you can roll. Always important to fold a layer of clothes to make a base in your suitcase. Being as though this is the high end thread your shoes have dust bags, if so put them in the dust bags like how you place them in the shoe box in the suit case. Depending on the size of the suit case and your shoe size you should be able to fit all 4 side by side making the shape of a rectangle. Then you want to fill the left over space with other clothes. Be sure to put another layer of clothes over the shoes so that acts as padding to keep your shoes protected. That there is how you pack shoes. Or if you have around $70 you can just buy Mayor's Flud Sneaker Travel bag.

Eh, I don't want to make this a race thing but I will say this. Givenchy may be fine without the "black dollar" however it was the black influence that has propelled Givenchy's menswear to what it is right now. Let's be real you will say Kanye/Jay-Z blew up Givenchy for black people but no, Kanye/Jay blew Givenchy up for every race regarding men's wear. Again, if you look back from the start of Tisci becoming the creative director in 2005 he didn't really start playing with the graphic prints until 2011. Say what you want but influence is everything and if not for the black influence some of the brands have got, they might still have been in the negative *cough* Versace. Why do you think all these high end brands are now making sneakers a priority in their collection? Why do you think Christian Louboutin started making up to size 48.5 or Balenciaga making 48? Why do you think Salvatore Ferragamo a fine Italian brand specializing in shoes and suits would make "big boy" buckles of their alternate logo for their belts? Or Giuseppe Zanotti showing so much love to black artists? The evidence is clear as day the black influence is strong, we culture!

I think the key for these kinds of brands is not to fall in love with the three-point shot.

The trrends set by those like Jay are fickle and fleeting. So, ride that wave while it's breaking, but don't shift your business in a way that you overly pander to it and rely on it too much, because no matter what, it won't be there for long (and the more you try to cultivate it, the quicker it will recede). And, when you overcompensate in that direction, you risk alienating your core audience, who you need after the hype-chasers move on to the next thing. Lots of brands takle missteps when they start believing their own hype.

Going to be putting these 44 (deadstock) on the bay soon..looking for a 45 if anyone has it, hate that i made the mistake and bought my arena size in these.

 

[hennessy]

Wow this thread sucks now. You'd think do proto j was posting in here or something.

Hadegbite those are fire! With they were my size.

 

[typerpinoy]

Have been holding off buying anything for a while but matches just sent me an $80 coupon. It's single use so if I do t end up using it I'll pass it along

 

[hadegbite]

How did you get the coupon TypeRPinoY? Just a valued customer?

Thanks Hennessy they are my AVI i hate to sell them but i have given up on the hunt. I guess they were more limited than i expected.

 

[solefx]

Contrary to much popular belief.. celebs actually devalue brands these days except a very select few. (IE David Beckham, Kanye West, Pharell, ETC)
Its actually the noncelebs, socialites and regular people that keep brands afloat and usually are better dressed and more stylish. Celebs kill brands lol

I agree with this 100%

Too much useless personal opinions, too little pictures and useful info.

Actually the opposite lol. Guess I haven't bought from them in a while. Hopefully they stock something I'm interested in soon.

Too much useless personal opinions? Is this not a forum? Too little pictures? Was it not the recent post of the Floral Givenchy Sandals that sparked recent personal opinions? If there's nothing but pictures, this will become Tumblr not a "forum board" for discussions. Not enough useful info? I myself along with many others have been answering user's questions and helping out. I'm not sure if you're waiting on a SSense 70% off info or 50% off Sneakerboy code however we are at the mercy of the sites and just overall the opinions of others to bring the "useful" info you want. The thread at times might get derailed occasionally but for the most part it's mature, insightful, and these past several days entertaining.

useless imo, carry on

These will have to hold me over until I get some RO Ramones.

Honestly, these brands only interest me from business, branding, marketing, and sociological standpoints.

I think almost all the shoes posted in this thread are horrifically ugly. I don't spam the thread posting those kinds of opinions because there's really no value in that. But, when the thread touches on the topics pertaining to these brands on which I have opinions that can contribute to healthy discourse, then I'm eager to chime in.

So, this is no different than the pedestrian sneaker threads. Some people only care about the shoes, other people care about these things on deeper levels.

Culture, art, and fashion arereally only as valuable/interesting as the discourse they generate. Without the broader discussion, this thread and whole forum is literally a worthless homage to conspicuous consumption.

 

[scarsorscabs]

Anyone know where the High-End Designer Shoes thread went?

 

[kevineg6]

RFX, are you looking for low or high top Ramones? I know a shop in Asia have low top in 43 if you are interested.

 

[rfx45]

High-top and I need a 41 and on sale.

One of these days I'll catch it on sale in one of these webstores, I've always been a few hours slow in most cases.
