A quote that concerns the whole "Is this trend dead, should I wear this" issue
"I believe that fashion isn't about what is trendy or no longer trendy. Fashion is a form of expression that every one of us manifests in a unique way. The way we dress says a lot about what we feel and think inside. I therefore advise every person to wear pieces that help you express how you feel, and not just follow general trends."-Gaby CharbachyI read this in the Projecteurs Magazine, and I think it was the best formulated opinion about this insecurity people have whenever they're considering wearing something different on this sub and tend to conform to what the majority wears.What do you people think about this quote, and what's your whole opinion and comment to this issue? via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2tRTW08
[REVIEW] Rick Owens x Adidas Low Runner BOOST
Howdy r/streetwear! I bought these shoes for a week ago, as I've been wanting them since release. However, I couldn't justify the retail for them. By coincidence, I stumbled upon these on sales, (or a more proper way to formulate myself: I FORTUNATELY stumbled upon these shoes) as I regularly check Lyst to check if any of my grail's on sale currently, I arbitrarily bought these shoes with no further thought, as I knew how quick people were on FarFetch.I also regularly check Grailed, but the specific colorway for these shoes weren't posted.I absolutely love Rick Owens' shoes (and just his clothes in general), as his clothing's somewhat versatile yet unique with his meticulous execution. It always feel luxurious.My initial thought about copping these was that I felt compelled to compose a review about these shoes, as I didn't find one single review concerning these shoes. ONE. SINGLE.Design 9/10Undubitably, the design's imbued by NMD's - It's a glorified version of the NMD in terms of design. However, Rick Owens also has hints and revisions in the design, for example the sole's reminiscent to Rick Owens due to the 'shark teeth'.The shoes also has some exaggerated proportions; another hint at Rick Owens.To summarize: Rick Owens' take on the NMD - unique and unprecedented.EDIT: Apparently, These were actually released before NMD's, which is in my personal very interesting, as they remind me a lot NMDsComfortability 10/10You can feel they emphasized heavily on the comfortability, which is what I prioritize highly concerning my choice on shoes!When you're first planting your foot in these, it feels odd due to the completely exposed boost inside; there's no actual sole (Can be seen on linked album). However, when I walked with the shoes in a few minutes, you feet begin to cherish how comfortable it is to step on raw BOOST.The leather on the toe front's deceptively thin: Whenever I lift my toe, it's visible that I'm lifting it and prominent, which tells how thin the leather's on the front, but that's only on the front conceived for comfortability, otherwise the rest of the shoe's leather is sturdy and heavy.The shoes might seem big, which usually reflects on their weight, but on the contrary, they're as light as typical trainers.They're also padded on the heel of the shoes, which can be felt as they embrace your ankles.Quality - 8.9/10The shoes are allegedly composed of calf skin and the sole's made of rubber (If it's necessary to include: The laces are composed of cotton).The shoes were made in China, which initially disappointed me, especially due to the fact that these were advertised and described as luxury, which - in my opinion - should be manufactured by Rick Owens' factory for Quality Assurance.Although they weren't made in Italy, it's surprisingly difficult to differ from Italian shoes and Chinese manufactured shoes, which most likely is because the shoe's manufactured in Adidas' factory.The shoes have some glue residue along the blocks on the side of the left shoe. However, it's VERY difficult to spot and I'm very keen eyed on such 'mistakes', as I tend to excessively inspect my shoes.As you might already have picked up: These shoes are very high quality, but not to justify for almost €800: I own a pair of Cargobaskets, and those retail for approx. €1.1k, which is somewhat more justifiable, as they require zippers and more length of material to produce.Okay, let's get to the point: I haven't properly checked the quality of the shoes yet, but they feel and look quality; almost similiar to other Rick Owens shoes, which are characterized by their renowned quality.To summarize: Although the shoes are manufactured in China, they feel and look like they're manufactured in Italy and by Rick Owens; not Adidas. I also heard that the Rick Owens x Adidas collab used the same leather as Rolls Royce, but I don't want to claim that's true.Final verdictYou might think as these were my grails, I'm attempting to justify my purchase and falsely commending them. However, I want to be brutally honest:The shoes aren't worth retail, in my opinion. However, they're definitely worth it whenever they're 50% off, as they're outstanding and most likely an eye-catcher in public with their deviating proportions; the way we love Rick Owens.The shoes can be worn with almost everything and I actually planned to replace them with my vans. Yes, they can be that versatile. However, it depends on your style of course!PICS OF THE SHOES via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2tXplT0

Tips to Surviving Posting Fits on /r/streetwear
I've been a lurker here for the past month. I'm new to streetwear and want to get a better understanding of it to improve my style. So I started posting in the WDYWT public thread. I feel the WDYWT is a good resource to improve your fits and understanding of streetwear in general.It was daunting at first. I'd like to share my takeaways for anyone curious or hesitant about posting fits in the WDYWT public thread.This may be common knowledge, but hopefully it will encourage others to participate more.When someone gives a critique on your fit, don't take it personally. Ask them to explain further. If they can back up their critique, then you've learned something new and can potentially apply it in the future. If they can't, then you can probably disregard their criticism.Realize that WDYWT comments and /r/streetwear represent a specific group of people interested in this style of fashion. This group is knowledgeable, but it's not the final say on streetwear. However, I believe it can give you a good foundation, as I had little knowledge of streetwear before coming here. I still have a long way to go.Be willing to try new things with fashion. Streetwear isn't my first style of choice. This is evident in my struggle to wear a fit that can be categorized as streetwear. In the process of trying to put together streetwear fits, I've been exposed to new looks and styles. What works for /r/malefashionadvice may not work for /r/streetwear. And that's OK. This process has given me a broader appreciation for the different fashions out there.Post fits. I doubt that I would be able to progress in my streetwear journey without sharing my fits. It gives me a visual record of my fits and any feedback that accompanies them. This helps to compare my various fits. Also to discern why one fit worked another didn't. Keep in mind points 1 and 2 when given criticism.Have fun. There's no point to this if it's not enjoyable. I admit frustration at times, trying to figure out a fit. But I feel that's part of the process. I'm still working on putting together a good streetwear fit, but the process is part of the fun.The /r/streetwear community has been great and has treated me kindly since I first started posting. Just don't take things personally, realize there are other streetwear communities out there, be open to new things, post fits, and have fun. via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2uai9yk

/r/Streetwear Census Results
Thank you to everyone that participated in the 2017 /r/streetwear census.I've summarised the results below - with some of the questions it can be hard to get an accurate reading of what were the common responses, as there may have been 2,000 different responsesTotal responses: 2,104Personal DemographicsGender94% Male5% FemaleThis is as expected - streetwear is typically geared towards, and adopted by, males. The subreddit sees very little female representation.Orientation89% Heterosexual8% BisexualNot much to say. Sounds about right, maybe a lower number of people picking homosexual than expected.Relationship status75% Single23% In a relationshipThis seems typical of the subreddit, if not a higher number in a relationship than expected. To be fair we're all H A N D S O M E so how can the ladies resist right?Income (USD)28% Prefer not to say46% 0-9,00011% 10-19,007% 20-39,000Most of our users would not be financially independent, and I'm sure many don't have jobs at all. Very few would be considered high paid.Age38% 18-2035% 16-1714% 21-2510% Under 16This really goes to show who we're working with - most of our users are young. We have a very low number of older age users, so probably don't expect the most thorough and mature responses all the time. Remember who you're working with. Typically, the sub is really good at this despite the relative young age and we don't see too much bullshit.Location68% North America10% Europe (Not UK)8% UK7% AustraliaMost of our users are from USA as you would expect and can typically while browsing the sub. Aussie boys getting on the map tho.FashionTime as a member of /r/streetwear?29% 6-12 months28% 12-24 months14% 3-6 months12% 1-3 months11% 24+ monthsFairly well distributed - most users have spent a moderate amount of time on the subreddit. This also shows that typically when a user says they like the way the subreddit used to be they don't have a clue what they're talking about as there is less than 11% of the sub thats been around longer than me (that answered the survey). This really shows through in a lot of the rule change requests we recieve - for example with WDYWT threads, most users haven't been around for the 3 different systems we've employed, and don't have much to compare it to. That isn't to say that they're wrong, and can't create their own well informed opinion.Other fashion forums used?54% None22% 4chan7% KTT5% The BasementFor most people, /r/streetwear is their only source of fashion news and discussion. For around 40% they participate in some other form of fashion related forum who9ch is great for us - this means users are getting opinions and ideas from a variety of sources.Favourite type of post?47% WDYWT34% Discussion7% Review6% News6% ArtThe WYDWT is the most popular post - this brings up the question of what the current state of the subreddit is, and if it should change. I believe the growing whitelist will have a positive impact as it continues to get more users on it to create a steady flow of high quality fits.Time spent on fashion related websites per day38% 30-60 minutes26% 0-30 minutes23% 60-120 minutes8% 120-180 minutesMost users get a 'quick-fix' or otherwise browse the subreddit for under an hour - this means that quicker to digest posts may get more attention. For example, standalone WDYWT threads are really easy to look at and don't take up time to read a bunch of text to get the benefit of the post.**How would you rate your knowledge about fashion?1 1.6%2 16.9%3 48.4%4 30.1%5 3%Most users believe they have a moderate/high understanding of fashion as a whole. Very few users believe to know very little, or a lot. This is probably a good middle ground.How many pairs of shoes do you own?5 (252)6 (235)4 (199)8 (177)7 (168)10 (165)3 (162)A variety of other responses. I fucked up by making this a text box.Most users have between 4 and 10 pairs of shoes. This should have been multi choice, shit was so hard to read easily.Average Yearly Spending (USD)32% 500-100031% 1000-500024% 200-5005% 200 or less5% 5000-10000Most users spend a moderate amount, but not enough to be copping multiple 'hype' pieces every year. Tying back into the income question, and age question, most users will not have the disposable funds to be buying expensive clothing regularly and may go for more basic pieces as a result. And I'm sure many users are working off their parents budgets.Do you have a skincare routine?52% Yes48% NoHalf the sub does, half doesn't. I would encourage those that don't have one already to have a look at /r/skincareaddiction. If you have skin issues this will help you endlessly. It's just another part of looking good. Take care of yourself, you're worth it.Do you style your hair?68% Yes32% No30% of our users do not style their hair - this may be due to the haircut (long, or very short), or just a lack of interest. If you don't already have a haircut you are happy with, check out /r/malehairadvice. A good haircut can change your entire look.Should people that don't skate be allowed to wear thrasher?78% Yes22% NoA majority of the sub believes you should - bringing this up is a great way to start an argument on /r/streetwear.Why should/shouldn't people that don't skate be allowed to wear thrasher?The responses in favour can be summarised to 'who gives a fuck, wear what you want'The responses in favour of burning non-skater thrasher wearers can be summarised to 'poser, it's made for skaters'We had over 1300 unique responses to this question, so gaining an accurate understanding of the responses is very difficult.How is /r/streetwears's friendliness to beginners?1 5%2 24%3 40%4 24%5 7%Most users believe the sub is quite beginner friendly - I would say the sub can be hostile, but at the end of the day it's most peoples first exposure to the style. Most of the content is beginner level, so we need to be accomodating where we can.Who is the best mod100% MrRikkaDuhHow satisfied are you with the moderation of /r/streetwear?1 2%2 1%3 2%4 5%5 10%6 11%7 25%8 27%9 8%10 8%Most users are quite satisfied, although I would love to see more responses in the 8+ range next time we do this. We can't please everyone but we do our best to keep things fair and smooth.Other FeedbackTo the ~150 users that said something similar to 'love me rikka' - I do. I love you all <3Lots of comments asked to abholish the wdywt thread again. I remain unconvinced cause that shit sucked when it was like that. 0% discussion, 100% fits. via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2v8Cfxj

Met a 12 y/o hypebeast at Mickey D's today
So on my way home from Atlanta with my girlfriend and her friends, I stopped at a McDonalds to use the restroom. When I was walking out of the building, a kid I had never seen before in my life turned to me and said, "you like NMDs?". Thankfully I've heard of them, and said, "Yeah the shoes? They're good stuff."Hypebeast: "Oh, well I got some."Me: "Oh, cool."Walk back to my car, get settled in the back for the ride home, and I see this kid getting into his car which happens to be right next to mine, holding up a pair of grey NMDs and pointing to them. I gave him the thumbs up sign and he pulled away.Tl;dr you guys are p young and p cool via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2u9olq2
