People seem to confuse fashion tragic hipsters with fashionistos far too much. The difference is I don't wear 510's and a V-neck to complement my ear gauges when I wear these.

These are excellent. The laceups are still not quite up to par with the Ervell x Common Projects collab though. Personally I have two pairs of Achilles mids, for stacking dark denim overtop of there is nothing better imho.

Also kids hating on the suede / burgundy captoe low lanvins are basically idiots removing all doubt. But most people really don't know what the fuck they're talking about anyway so it's okay.

Those who actually know anything should browse Styleforum.net a bit (also superfuture but it's about as much of a mess as NSG). If you're among those posting nike dunks and shit you can get at the local mall though you'll just get hated on much as you would if you came into SG and started talking about how awesome your new rossignol cuts are and how fun it is to carve around on blue squares.

yes, and calling people idiots for thinking something that is functionally worthless is ugly makes you a pompous doucebage.

Of course, I think there is something wrong with you if you worry to much about how your shoes look...

It's all of personal opinion, yet i don't clearly see how you can declare your hipster shoes, which i do not dislike, are better then other peoples shoes. i mean yes, there are some ass ugly skate shoes here, yet for the most part alot of the shoes do have taste. all serve functionally.

Yeah because function is the only thing that matters in the world. Which is why everyone drives toyotas, all houses look exactly the same and everyone has a closet full of black suits and white shirts.

You're a) not a very smart kid, b) an asshole for acting like your own perspective as to what is worth spending time on is the only worthwhile one, c) a scrawny little bastard who would and does not talk this kind of trash in person for fear of getting knocked the fuck out. Big tough guy on the internet though.

To the other guy: music is also personal taste, but Nickelback still sucks.

Again allow me to list,

1) You don't know what you're talking about, so your comment is wrong and you're likely to continue to get things wrong because as mentioned you're pretty much like a dude in gear talk going on the carving skis you bought at sport mart,

2) Shoes don't "say" anything,

3) There are a lot of shoes that look beat up, but it makes absolutely no sense to say that about Lanvins which are about as luxe as sneakers get outside of Balmain or something,

4) A lot of money is a relative term, some people spend lots of money on cars, other people spend it on other things, and given that good dress shoes start in the $1k range, 300 dollar sneaks are not really pushing any envelopes.

So wrong. Want to spot an american/canadian/western european? look at their shoes. Shoes are a dead give away.

When trying to figure out who is in charge or the highest esteemed, you look at the shoes.

Want to get a quick idea of what someone is capable of? look at the shoes.
The guy in the tight fitting pants with the hipster shoes : probably less then capable.
The guy in the light hiking boots/shoe cross over with a loose fitting shirt that hangs below the waist: Someone I will pay attention too.

Someone's shoes tell you the story of their life.

Uh, no. Lots of people wear vintage americana workwear shit when they have absofuckinglutely nothing to do with the "implications" and have never worked manual labour in their lives, because they like the look. The fact that you link work or hiking boots to "someone who's worth paying attention to" is beyond hilarious, even if footwear was a universal indicator of background why would a concrete worker be more worth paying attention to than a barney's salesperson? And capable of what, anyway? As usual you're just spouting off nonsense.

Shoes don't say anything because peoples' taste in shoes doesn't really indicate anything important about them,. It just indicates their taste in shoes. Fuck, I'm wearing a pair of those Lanvins right now at work, monday I'll be wearing one of my pairs of dress shoes, I'm still doing the same stuff. Attempting to glean anything from someone's clothes besides their taste in clothes is stupid.

I concrete worker is much more likely to be able to beat the shit out of me. People who wear work boots tend to work outside for a living, and are accustomed to hard physical labor. When push comes to shove, the concrete worker is much more likely to be able to handle himself.

People who wear some sort of work/utility boot are also more likely to be caring a weapon. (I also pay attention to the cut of people's cloths)

Someone's shoes are a very good indicator of their regular activities and thus you can gain a good indication of the person.

why do you get nice dress shoes? because they are part of your lawyer's uniform.

Someone needs a lawyer to represent them on court. They go talk to two different lawyers. Both are wearing complete well cut conservative suits. One is wearing nice dress shoes, the other is wear casual everyday shoes. Which one will the customer pick (everything else being equal)? They will pick the one with the dress shoes. Why? It represent's completeness, when someone is a professional, they dress the part. When someone is trying to imitate a professional or new to the game they often overlook the shoes.

How do you manage to be this dumb? No, no one is saying they're better than other people because they have different interests. You're posting in a fucking sneaker thread. If someone gives a damn about sneakers they're going to talk about it in such a thread. If you don't care, good for you, makes no difference, go talk about whatever you're interested in. If anyone's coming off with a shitty attitude it's the people offended by others caring more about their clothes than they do.

No, I get nice dress shoes because I care about what I wear and I like the shoes, and I know enough to be able to tell the difference. Most people can't, first of all, and clients don't give a fuck what you're wearing. They care if you can produce the result they want. That has nothing to do with the cut of your damn suit, it has to do with whether you've dealt with 1000 short form prospectus distributions in your career.

There's a dude in our Securities department who bills massive hours, crushes multibillion dollar deals and looks like a UFC fighter right down to the tight fitting fight-oriented t shirts. I want him on a file wearing that t shirt before some dude in a perfect conservative suit with a nice pair of bals who's going to end up forcing me to spend an extra couple mil on disclosure because he doesn't know what he's doing.

If you're judging people based on their ability to fuck you up, that's pretty weird, but I don't think that group is going to be limited to the construction workers.

And the above is why NS needs a multiquote feature.

I don't even know what this means. You're free to like whatever you want, just like you're free to have bad taste in music or movies. If you don't care about plot or cinematography or lighting or acting and you just want to catch an action flick and watch shit get blown up and hot girls get won, that doesn't make you a worse person, it just means you're not big on taste. Meanwhile if you're posting in a thread about movies about how you think The Marine is a great movie, someone might just reveal that lack of taste to you. It isn't rocket science.

People get too defensive about shit.

i didnt quote, or single you out, it was about 3 different people my original post was directed at. (basically the entire page) yet you (did i hit a nerve) came in here viscerally attacking me.

its pretty obvious you came in here with a pompous king of the world attitude.

i dont even think i ever said anything about anyones personal sense of style, sure im not the belle of the ball everywhere i go, but for christs sake being "put together" is not fucking rocket science.

Apparently it kind of is rocket science since so few people manage it.

You are in general really quick to judge peoples' motivations and perspectives and you're usually wrong. You should work on that, because it makes you look kind of dumb insisting that people are thinking in a particular way, as if you can read minds.

No one "viscerally" attacked you, you just did what was obvious - assume that people who care about things you don't care about think they're better than you. How stupid would it be to think you're better than someone because you like skiing and they like golf, or that you're a big wine conoisseur and they just drink whatever? Nobody actually thinks that way, it's ridiculous to impute those motives to people especially people you've never met.

Dude. You're being offensive whether you're trying to or not. Quit the shit talking. No one here is a "6th avenue fashion diva" or trying to be something they're not. It's clear that JD has his own personal sense of style and you're not respecting it because you don't understand it. Neither is Cobra Commander. You go in under the assumption that Fashion is about status and conveying a message by using brand names to assign class. You forget that some people just like to wear fashion because it's like art for you body, and it makes you feel good. Looking good feels goo. Don't hate, and if it's not your thing, just don't post because it's useless to contradict someone who's opinion is not based in any sort of reason. Just look the other way and stop the shit. He only sounds pompous because of all the stupid assumptions people are making about shoes, and he has to to get the message across.

You offend personal style when you tell someone they're trying to be the belle of the ball, a diva, a hipster, full of themselves, or attempting to convey something they aren't. Just stop.
