looks more like lavin than rafe imo

[fix.]

There's no "Don't buy fakes" on your poll.

I would personally save up the money and robokop some Lanvins.

I just like the name; Hwang KUM.

Kum on dem shuz. Kum. Kum. Kum.

[la-vvoc]

i def wont be buying the lanvins, i just cant justify the pricetag.... im still in college, cant afford to drop that much on shoes alone...

as for knockoffs...i dont mind it...im not buying it cause it was raf simons, i wasnt even aware raf made this style till i saw this shoe on yesstyle, and seeing how i prob cant afford the rafs (and wouldnt even if i could) ill stick to this cheaper alternative....

what you guys think on the styling tho? thanks!!

[mr_smartman]

save up for the real thing or just gething something different...for 100ish including shipping and other shit id rather spend it on something that i can count on...

I am in college too! And I will be kopping some Lanvins!

GG - I love your comment!

[Advantage]

I"m not feeling the whole thing being patent.

It doesn't look much like Raf Szehumuns but more like Lanvuhn.

If it floats your boat then go ahead but if I were you, save up the money and look for either the real thing or something more expensive but better designed. Cheers.

well any recommendations for something in the similiar category and equally priced...im really not willing to spend more than $140 on shoes (you may call that stupid, but thats a lot.. lol) its not even that i cant save the money, i just cant justify spending that much on shoes (sorry.)

any recommendations of similiarly styled shoe for same price??

btw what is the reason you voted against buying the shoe? merely cause its a knockoff of rafs or what? thanksss

[la-vvoc]

btw i actually think that they look a lot like actual raf simons shoes.... these are the ones they are copying i guess (other than the colorway)

[dismalfuture]

wtf. findmybetterhalf when were you in Korea?!?!

[mutt225]

ha i think the knock offs looks better those are just plain ugly

[goldengloves]

I don't get why this thread was even made, it seems like you've made up you mind already. If you like 'em, then cop. If you're second guessing 'em, then don't cop.

I jus' copped the chrome Raf ones. I like my shuz ugly lyke my womenz.

[mutt225]

Dats right, black and shiny

[la-vvoc]

geez the dont buys are piling up lol....could you guys voice your reasoning? is it ugly..thats my real question..

i really like the shoe...i like the style, how it looks worn, and i really want a hi-top with a slim toebox and long tongue like that, but my only worry is the "wear-ability" of the shoe...does it look too costumish to be worn? if that makes sense... lol

[goldengloves]

Dude, it's a knock off of the Raf Simons sneaker. Do you like the real ones? All of these other people aren't the ones buying them, you are. It sounds like you like them.

I like the Raf version, but honestly, the white knock offs look like shit, the black's are better.

[magus1234]

they fakes

prolly fall apart

gotta wait on shipping

look funny

or

they cheap

look cool

might last you till your next pair

it's up to you:confused:

[la-vvoc]

i dnt mind waiting for shipping... hmmm i think ill prob pull the trigger...im just worried about the fact that these shoes look so "left field" that it would look odd worn... i cant explain what i mean really lol hope that makes sense....

also quality.... im not expecting the greatest designer quality, but im just hoping it wont unravel with three wears... id obviously be rotating them with other shoes, so theyll b worn lightly... thanks for all the help eveyone (especially golden gloves) and still want opinions on the look...thankss!!!

[goldengloves]

Honestly, they're not gonna fall a part jus cuz they fakes. I've seen plenty of fake shuz and they are made decent. They cut corners on certain things usually but the basic concept is there.

Not condoning fakes in any way though.

[case87]

i personally wouldn't wear them, but that's not the point. i wouldn't wear lanvins either (not saying i don't like them or appreciate the design, they're just not for me). it sure sounds like you like these, so i agree with gg - if you like that kind of design and would wear them, but don't want to buy the real deal, then get em.

[la-vvoc]

thats what i figured lol

btw the poll is becoming even....please, people voice your reasoning AGAINST the shoe. thanks!

[mr_smartman]

fuk man...stop buying stuff to impress or satisfy others. buy the things you WANT and like. seriously...don't be a an dumbass

[mr fluffernutter]

i have the real ones... and i wouldn't mind getting a pair of the white (i dont think raf produced a white one)... they look pretty accurate, not as slim as they are irl though

[backinthetrees]

can't you fucking make up your own mind

[lms]

The kangaroo pouch on the back of the shoes ruin them. The pouch looks good on the original Raf shoes but doesn't quite work with the knockoffs.

[fndmybetterhalf]

wtf. findmybetterhalf when were you in Korea?!?!

the fuck? :confused:

skip on anything yesstyle and zipia. buy some clothes worth paying for.

man with the truth!

[la-vvoc]

ok so basically everyone who is voting against the shoe is doing it cause it is a "knockoff"? and not because of the styling?

u got pics of u wearing the real ones diamonds?

[la-vvoc]

ok people...i really would like to know why 20 people were against this shoe..merely on the fact that it is a knockoff or based on the styling? thanks
