Lol poor Ryanhast. To be fair tho Rick sneaks have become just as hypebeast. Something about the bandaid color of those sneakers is pretty disturbing but nice design.

request was for rick, not hypebeast.

Slowly backing away from this thread now.

Was that Adidas + RO image for real? I thought that was a joke.

i would also be curious to hear your first impressions [especially as an avid collector of all things Rick].

i'm also curious to see a worn pic from the side / profile, as i'm having a hard time picturing them - do enlighten me / us!

great pickup! does the leather feel as amazing as hlorenzo's pics suggest?

Thank you! They're very substantial, and literally fairly heavy. Sharkskin is overlaid on calf leather, soled with buffalo leather. As to the texture, it ranges from something analogous to chamois to a more granular, linen-like feel. Bought them more or less on a whim (was looking for a heavy winter coat), but have been impressed with what he's done with layering in the past - namely fiberglass and linen over leather. I like that these things evolve, so to speak, and become a kind of record of their use (to my mind, in a more visibly immediate manner than other pieces).

Looking forward for the review on the RO sneakers!

mrbeuys - the pilgrims landed in nicer shoes than those. And from that angle, they give the appearance of bunions.

I love you dearly but please stop drinking & shopping.
