Literally the worst thing that they as a team could have put out short of adding pony hair. Maybe the toes aren't as exaggerated in person but I've seen lot of photos of these and they don't sit right with me.

These look like the first sneakers ever made.

I just don't see the punk influence at all. Did they go as far as leaving it as a Converse collab for that one?

My best sneaker cops lately have been ALD NBs and Lemaire high tops.

Highly recommend the Lemaire. Perfect blend of kinda chunky and boxy, and also slim around the top. They're on sale at their website too. Size tts for sneakers (I'm usually an 11 in sneakers and went with 44).

The RO converse are fine -- nothing to write home about, but not like Triple-S level ugly either. They just added a square toe and extended the tongue like Geobaskets.

Just looked up the Rick collab. These look like they're part of the Fry's Electronics collection.

I got a solicitation from Converse for them, too. I was trying to think of useful things to do with the toebox... Maybe scraping dogshit off the sidewalk?
those RO converse are for teenagers, please leave some for the teens

I wanted to try and see them in person, dont know where I'd be able to find them in the city so I was up for a Nike drop anyways and clicked away... I agree compared to ramones these are odd looking but also very true to what RO does
