The tag is like that due to the wash and distressing. Current season tags look like that as well.

I believe he's referring to the actual content of the tag and the product code. That's definitely a 2011 or earlier design.

Hey i'm wondering if I could get some help with some shoes. I searched the thread but there wasn't tons of info.

I'm interested in the RO Ramone lows. What is the difference between RO and RO darkshadow? Also, if I wear a 13 in nike sneakers, 12 in converse chucks, and an 11.5D on the alden barrie last, what size should I be looking for the in Ramone low? According to what i've read, some would suggest 45, and some 46. My foot is a hint on the wide side, but I don't have a high instep or anything like that.

you need a 46 0r 45.5 and don't listen to anyone who says otherwise. they are very narrow so a 45 will hurt

also, drkshdw sneakers are not leather, ro sneakers are

@thekunk07 Much appreciated. I was leaning towards the 46, as the only t hing that works for me in a sneaker in a 45 (12) is a chuck, and everyone says those fit large. Thanks again.

Also, thanks for clearing up the RO vs drkshdw. I think i'd want the canvas ones, those ones look awesome. Either all white, black, or olive. Cant decide. But i'm going to wait till I can get a nice sale price. Can't see myself paying $500+ for sneakers.

they run narrow? since when? i have slightly wide feet and a 45 fits my sz12 feet. but i cant get used to this fit for some reason. it may be the angled toebox or that i may have needed a 46 but it does fit a little funky. anyone else feel the same?

btw, ive seen drkshdw ramones go for $300 before.......

i never knew why people said to size down in rick geos i barely find the 46 comfortable for long stretches and i have a high instep which doesnt help. the rick adidas with the big geometric heel though are one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned.

Does anyone know the difference between each of the seasonal releases of the Memphis jeans?

SBW is black wax, SBM is black mineral

Thank you for the super fast response. I'm fairly new to RO bottoms as I'm more exclusive to his tops since I love his double-layered tees and work jackets so much.

Do you know what the differences between black wax and black mineral are? Or better yet, do you know if there is a denim encyclopedia that describes these in detail (i.e. explains what DU stands for, S, model #, etc.)

Black wax/mineral is the treatment of the cotton parts of the pants. Wax is shiny, and mineral is more matte.

DU stands for DRKSHDW Men's. ##S/F is for the season, and the model # is the last 4 digits.

The tags have just recently changed to this, iirc during Plinth.

I see.

How about strictly comparing the three different black wax models (DU3356, DU13F03004/SBW, DU15F5356/SBW) - are there any differences between them? What are the minor nuances that make one season/year stand out from the rest?

Not that I can remember.. think both versions have the dick bib so they should be pretty much identical
