***The Official Rick Owens Thread***

Thanks!

Also, while I'm still here. Is the sizing of all RO sneakers the same? I've got my eyes on a pair of island dunks atm but I'm hesitating as I don't if I should get them in 44 or 45. I had the pleasure of trying on some Ramones highs in 44 a while back but I couldn't even fit my foot into it due to the fastened tounge. I'm a 44 in common projects and 11 in Nikes and I've heard that RO footwear is supposed to be really roomy in general so I was quite confused. Any input as to what size I should get?

get a 44 in the island dunks, they have a side zipper.

side zipper actually makes them fit tighter and cuts into the heel. i'd go 45

Goddammit sneakerboy is really ******. I've been trying to buy a pair of cargobaskets from them and they keep declining my transactions, from different cards no less. Do they actually want to do business or not

 

[thekunk07]

they're saving you from yourself they are just about unwearable and will scar your ankles

I wear the same size across the board in all RO sneakers (Geos, Ramones, lows, dunks), which is a 43. I also take a 43 across the board for all CP footwear. So my recc would be to actually go with your CP size, or half a size down from brannock.

what the **** all sneakers fit the same 46 in one is 46 in another. except actual nike or adidas if you're a 46 you're a 46

you have to call your bank to allow the transaction since it's an international purchase. i know for a fact a bank like Chase will decline it unless you authorize it via phone.

Nah my banks (I've tried two cards) are okay about it, I've called and checked. The transactions went through on their end and I have no problem using the cards for buying anything else. They say that it's them (or their Australian bank or whatever) actually issuing a refund back for whatever reason. Just really ******. Oh well I didn't really need $800 kicks anyway

Are drkshdw ramones usually the first items to sell out? Can't find a pair of black highs anywhere.

a lot of them sell out in the first round of discounts in good sizes because they're pretty popular

These came in today. Ordered last Wednesday from the Sneakerboy sale, 7 days from ordering to my door...not bad.
