YOUR BULLET POINT 3 IS INTERESTING TO ME
Just a question for you all. Are you guys liking the way Fieg is starting to put his name on his shoes and RF on the heels and so forth? I feel like it takes away from the shoe and he's starting to put himself before the shoe. Thoughts?
I think its worth mentioning there is difference between RF doing a shoe, and athlete or musician doing a shoe. Jordans, KD etc were designed from the ground up d for that person. The design team collabs with the athlete or whom ever with the intent of creating their shoe. RF on the other hand takes an already existing shoe and revamps both color and material. So I wouldnt mind a Jordan or KD. I would mind these a design like these pumas with that stuff all over them.so just out of curiosity, does it stop any of you from purchasing a pair of shoes when lebron, kd, kobe, melo, iverson, d.rose, shaq, p.rod or any other athlete's name/logo is on a shoe from a sneaker brand (nike, jordan, adidas, etc.)?
Only 114 of the red toes and only friends and family
I feel exactly the same way. In my opinion, subtle things like the lace locks, or what St. Alfreds does with a hang tag, or on the tongue labels, insoles, are fine, a nice touch, but when you start getting deeper with dropping the branding on all over the shoes like a few shops have done, it gets tacky. Granted on the Puma's they're not that bad, but the fact that RF's getting bolder and bolder with the branding on the shoes is of concern. No mind given on his own clothes like joelom mentioned.

My overall opinion is he can do whatever he wants, but its kind of lame to take a design that someone else did, change colors and materials and the throw you name all over it. Kith I can understand being thrown on a shoe. Overt Just Us and Ronnie Fieg- im not sure how that sits with me. I think the daytonas and the americanas were done tastefully. subtle logoing on the laces and lace lock and the kith brand on the insole. Kiths clothes I don't mind. its there/his brand.
and the whole me being banned from kith thing.
Size DOWN half, and yeah you could probably stuff something like sof soles in there to fill it out if you can't find your size.
The Ronnie Fieg x New Balance 577 Americana is one of the shoes I want but I have been hearing to size up half a size because they are a bit big....I wear a size 8 and i want to get them in that size but I worry that it might be too big? Any thoughts or are there insoles to make shoes fir pretty snug? Any help would be appreciated.http://www.highsnobiety.com/files/2013/12/Ronnie-Fieg-x-New-Balance-577-“Americana”-1.jpg
Size down or you will be swimming in them. Insoles will help a bit, but it won't really affect the length much.
