Oh wow, I had no idea LVMH owned RMW now.
And this happened in 2014?!

It’s also when prices went up about 200$ per pair.

I bought two pairs of RM boots after the company was sold to LVMH. I think they're nice.

Also bought a pair of those Ranch Road boots last year. I haven't handled Thursday boots, so can't compare, but RR also seems nice to me. Some of them have a stitched-on rubber sole, but so do some Edward Green shoes nowadays. Rubber soles are often more flexible. Just seems like a trade-off.

Anyone know why some stores list the Hoka One One Sky Kaha different from Kaha? Same shoe?

Check out the rmw thread on here. Seems like that's all unfounded. A local store started carrying carftman and gardener, and I gotta say, the brand new ones are just as good as mine from 2015-18, and tons of folks have 10+ yr old pairs on here that seem identical as well. I wouldn't not buy just bc you heard a rumor about the quality...

How else do you think they got Hugh Jackman?!

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Because Hugh Jackman is a ******* legend

 

[whorishconsumer]

No, Will Smith is Legend.

I’ve owned pre acquisition and post acquisition rmws. Haven’t noticed any difference.
