Lots of Japanese stuff is pretty derivative save for a few exceptional designers actually.

ps: there are 3434343 styles and 423843278473829 colors: I'd go for the classic style without laces, with metal buttons...

Thanks for the suggestions!
I've actually looked into Rombaut and Masnada. I think especially Masnada has some good stuff going on, I really dig these. However, albeit 50% off RO at retail, I still cannot afford them unless at sale.
I'ld say 200-250€ max or a sale

But you're right, they don't just copy Rick. They copy other designers, like undercoverism:
I guess it's unfair to pick on the Japanese, though, most designers aren't that original. Originality isn't everything though. I do own those shorts, I'm still considering the sneakers, and maybe someday try some of the outerwear that they're more known for.
And yes, dunks were a major game changer during a time when luxury sneakers meant Common Projects/Lanvin/Raf/Dior. They were all about slim and subtle, costing ballpark $500? Then along comes Rick with his $1000 moon boots.

wow one of dbss 1000 colourways ended up being black and white instead of leopard print or bright blue patent leather, what a fucking surprise, must be a rick ripoff because of course he invented making shoes in those 2 colours. and the fact that you think common projects were considered luxury in 2006 says a lot... they retailed for like ~200$ and went for 75$ used
undercover did not invent scabbed pants, theyve been around since pants have and were quite obviously ripped from punk culture
rick did not invent big sneakers, he ripped them off nike down to the swoosh

YYPH Grey/Green Camo Pants
I need some help finding the current season YYPH Grey/Green camo pants in size 3 or 4. I've got the matching jacket but I've been looking all over for the pants and no dice. All stockists/auctions I've seen have had the brown/green version with side zippers. Any leads would be great! Image of the pants I'm interested in finding:
