Just handled the Mastosneaks IRL for the first time. Gotta say the quality seems great, but the Rick aura that surrounds most of his pieces is missing. They could easily be misinterpreted as Common Projects.

Anyone else feel like RO footwear range is kind of "limited"? It's good, but i wish there was more variation.
I mean i'm still waiting for sock sneakers without cap toes. WHAT THE FUCK, maybe he has no plans to release them at all? "Cyclops" had all black as a season exclusive (with questionable hooks though), so i guess there's still hope... Also it would be great to have a choice of material (leather or suede). He's done all black / black w/ white sole / no cap toe / suede versions for women previously, why not put it on mass production for men? We only have the "standard" version, and it's literally everywhere. I don't get it.
Oh, and i would definitely like to have something like Boat Sneakers but without cap toes, like super basic slip-ons with a signature RO sole.

Taking the cap toes off of shoes that already exist doesn't seam like much of an expansion. As odd as I think the Mastosneaks are I like that he was switching it up. Other than being more proportionate to a regular shoe I don't see the skate inspiration in the Geo thrashers. Skateboarding has transitioned heavily into vulcanized sole construction which looked closer to his original stapled sole. I am sure for manufacturing's sake it's cheaper to make 1 or 2 sneaker soles with a bunch of different uppers. Casting a new sole might be expensive. We may be stuck with this Masto sole for a few variations.

I commuted up to the sample sale from Philly. Here is my report. The items are mostly from the past two seasons. Sizes mostly 50-54 with the occasional smaller size, though the oversized pieces barely vary in measurements of course. There is a selection of pretty much everything: outerwear, leathers, tunics, button ups, shorts, boat shoes, tees. Basically any item you've seen at some last season retailer is present, including some coats from Moody. There were no accessories unfortunately. I'm sure the more basic hoodies etc have been mostly cleared out by the younger, Hypebeast crowd that showed up in droves, but that leaves all the truly Rick pieces and fuzzy knit onesies for you freaks out there. Markdowns are either 70% or 80% off. Feel free to pm me with questions and I'll try my best to remember. If anything it's worth a trip if you're like me and lust after pieces only to later try them on and quickly decide against.

Small question, but Rick Specific.
As Rick has started releasing more and more "traditional" shirts, like the field shirts for example, do you guys feel like the shoulders of these are increasingly small— relative to all his other pieces with tight shoulders? I love my blazers with his tight shoulders, but the shirts, even the sleeveless versions seem to have gotten more and more tiny, with 48's being around 15-16 inches— even though basically everything else about his clothes seems to have gotten bigger.
What do you guys think? Am I imagining it? Isn't it odd? Even if you look at various retail sites, they can barely seem to get the shoulders to even fit on the models.

I dare you to make it past the 1 minute mark, but I guess it belongs here...
Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.
