Am I the only one who is immune to them?! [72]

Of course you would be immune. Don't you hate designer sneakers in general? RO is just another subset of that.
[/quote]

Well, I find these especially grotesque... which is Rick's point, I suppose, and maybe a highest compliment paid to the man. But, yea, you are right - I do hate designer sneakers overall. However, don't take this as a sweeping aesthetic generalization.

Over RO, or sneakers in general? RO's got an ugly~beautiful thing going. I think it also stems from his body being so perfectly honed, that he sees distorting it part of the allure. But also, he's got a freaky aesthetic overall. I really respond to that, even if it doesn't necessarily always work for me.

Wire.artist- that piece looks excellent.

Faust- Nobody I am close to likes my RO trainers, my gf calls them "nikes on steroids".

Hahaha, sounds about right.

Designer sneakers that is. You know I like ROs clothes a lot. I love his aesthetic, since my (clever, I thought) "grotesque" comment.

"Steroids" is too normal. I think they're more like gamma ray-irradiated.

There's a pop-culture geek in that man - he did say he called his last Fall collection Exploder because it reminded him of "Transformers," and I think he was referring more to the cartoon thn the recent movie.

Re: Your recent purchases

I've looked at all-white RO hi-tops next to nike AFI his and can tell you this is a direct hommage if there ever was one. They're pretty much exactly like AFI but with a longer tongue and top partand, surprisingly, a slimmer last. There's even traces of a pseudo nike logo.

wire.artists, my dreambox has one less item now! [:(][86]

Lovely, lovely purchase, your gf is very lucky.

[quote user="Faust"][quote user="laika"]

[quote user="Casius"]That dress is hot. Simple, but hot.[/quote]

I'm glad you like it. It is WAY more "fitted" on me than on the model, so it's very sexay.[:$] I'm stillgetting usedto it, butafter several seasons of smock/tent dresses, something more body-con (but still very covered up), seems really fresh.

Re: Your recent purchases



I'm sure she will love it wire.artist...sounds like she has great taste! [66]

Faust, lol, I need to get used to it first.[86] To be fair though, I am probably overstating things, as I am generally so conservative in that respect...it's just very different from what I have been buying the past few years, yet feels like a nice change. [73]
