cool. yeah there are some doubles but i think if there are pics of all the shoes it will make a cool archive like ARsix stated. also, the fit of two shoes with the same sole may be different. and as you can see by some entries, two shoes with the exact same outsole measurement have two different "sizes" (i confirmed this with kelvin).

the swag scale is 1 through 5 + infinite (reserved for extremely special flowers).

I will PM you measurement of my shoes tomorrow, i am simply too tired right now.

cool thanks.

sq, did you create style guise? i just browsed through the links from this thread and it seems your more active there.. just curious?

can i play?

I think people are going to tend to overstate the swag level of their shoes. New sole lanvin lows are really not all that swagtastic. Rafstros, meanwhile, are kind of the pinnacle. Or DBSS pony sneaks I guess. I see it thusly for sneakers,

Infinite - Rafstro level / DBSS / some KVAs
5 - Rick dunk level / KVA's
4 - Lanvin high level / some MMM GAT highs
3 - Lanvin low level / Other MMM sneaks
2 - Common Projects
1 - Most Generic Mans, SF approved leather PF flyers, etc.

They are size 42. I am a US 10 and am wondering whether they would fit me. My size 43 rafstros fit me fine, basically like a 10.5. I am tempted to see if I can make a 42 work, but it could be an expensive failure.

I was going to wear them with random diors (black/indigo/waxing moon/gray waxed).

AR_Six · Mar 2, 2011

Fixed.

Well that is where things become more subjective. Some say Rick Owens and Rafstros are swagtastic but others just plain hate them. Like the low-top Lanvins, you may not like them much but when I wear my khaki suit, crisp white shirt and lace up my navy suede/patent cap-toe low-top Lanvins, I feel like a million bucks.

AR_Six · Mar 2, 2011

It doesn't have much to do with whether you like them or not. I am not a fan of most KVA jawnz and I dislike most DBSS but they are undoubtedly replete with swagger. Meanwhile I own 4 pairs of Lanvins and wear them in numerous contexts. I think you have equivocated "swag" with "nice looking".

RFX45 · Mar 2, 2011

Nah, swag is the way it is carried or it's presence. RO dunks and DBSS certainly has their precense but it depends how it is worn and which ones. Not taking shots at anyone but if you stuff the Rafstros under your jeans cuff it carries the same swagger? I think we can both agree the answer is no. Current RO's aren't as "swagtastic" as the RO dunks (the one that actually has a check silhouette).

I am not saying that all Lanvin low-tops has it's own presence, but certain colorways does. The navy suede and red captoe just has that presence. So does the navy suede/patent cap-toes, it has an understated presence being simple and all but still spits at all the sneakers in the room with it's hint of cockiness.

Tanner · Mar 2, 2011

RO dunks swag way harder than rafstros...

Also, in case anyone is wondering, the clear soled Balenciagas run ******* huge. I am a true 46/13 and the 45 was big on me by a half size. Comfortably big though.

Lupo · Mar 2, 2011

That chart is difficult to read...i think an excel--google docs--would be better imo.. sorry if this has been discussed already

dmash · Mar 2, 2011

WTF are you talking about, the chart is easy asa **** to read?

and wow sq, this is going to be AWESOME!

Added a few things to CP achilles. Will upload measurements for a 41 soon.
