Having trouble deciding whether to shell out for Black MMM mids from Oki-Ni:

Or these neil barret joints from Yoox.

okay let me broaden this out - I want some high to mid non CP interesting/detailed sneakers that are well made and will look good when they are fucked up. Budget around 5OO USD.
Any recommendations? KVA? Raf? whats best.

Well you could get the high version of those MMMs but the problem with that, imho, is that they'll always be second best to the distressed leather version. I dunno man there are a lot of possibilities out there. If you're into the DBSS thing those just dropped recently, you could snag a pair of Rafstros (or Vandals but I dunno where to find them in black on black right now). Black high tops is almost TOO broad, I just don't like either of those mids. If I was going to choose between them I guess I'd get the Barretts.

Ann D., DBSS, Raf Simons, YSL, etc.

Edit: DBSS reissues sold out for preorder in every colorway except blue (Only size 1 and 2 too) I believe.

Saw the Barrett painted highs (the ones Synthese has) on the 'bay from a Taipei seller, not entirely sure I'd trust it, but they fit the bill quite nicely There are better choices on yoox, aren't there?
