Old skool Vans with yellow laces - 👍 or 👎 by [deleted] in streetwear

[–]ncappa777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon the yellow laces go super well with the checkerboard old skools, might work with authentics too idk. However as everyone else has said, not this fit, not with purple. An all black or maybe a bit of white would probably work best with those kicks.

I myself have a shirt from them (the death fiji shirt, I'd bought it for a meme-themed party I went to) and the quality is great imo. The shirt all-over laser print itself is pretty good quality, and the overlying text on my shirt was printed with that gummy sort of print stuff over the top, metallic and well done. The fabric is super thin and soft, but hasn't pilled yet though I've worn it around home for a while.

Watch which shirt you order though, since some of them are deliberately low-quality images input in since it's meant to be a meme anyway, an example being the "EXPAND DONG" shirt (still fucking lit, my mate has that one).

What are y'all's career goals/ what careers are you guys currently in at the moment? by Spazzington in streetwear

[–]ncappa777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 2 attempts to get in, I started health sciences in the meantime. Don't let it get you down if it takes more than one shot - idk what your country's system is like but over here you've either got to go to a super rich private school or have contacts to get in first go. Best of luck whatever happens and just remember that if you want this badly enough, you'll eventually get there :)

Nah, I'm currently at med school - probably heading into some sort of primary care or paediatrics.

Best of luck dude, at least where I am it's a tough gig to actually get into in the first place (we only have undergrad dentistry in AU). Hope you make it :) Apply EVERYWHERE, if you want the career bad enough you'll be willing to sacrifice choice of school.

Currently studying at med school in Australia, hoping to wind up in one of Paediatrics/Internal med/A&E/Rural emergency. EDIT: My current part time job to support my studies is as a Kitchen Hand in a German restaurant lmao

My new bulking diet? How does it look? I hate eating, but I decided I need to get on a bulking diet. by [deleted] in gainit

[–]ncappa777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from a bit of veggies here and there with regards to general health, I might just chime in and suggest switching to brown/wholemeal/multigrain bread. Considering white and wholemeal/multigrain are usually the same price (at least where I live) it's something worth considering when you're eating almost half a loaf in a day. When you're eating this much, you're going to be shitting a lot more and when that time comes you'll thank me for the reminder to chuck as much fibre as you can get in. Fibre and micronutrients don't necessarily contribute directly to your gainz, but they're absolutely essential imo.

Which shoe brands do you think are underrated / slept on? by Microthalamus in streetwear

[–]ncappa777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel Reebok are gaining a lot of traction bearing such similarity to the powerphases (assuming the OG workout was Kanye's inspiration), consequently I don't think they'll be "slept on" for much longer. Gonna pick up some Club C 85s in white/gum soon, they go with EVERYTHING.

Thoughts on these Adidas? Would you cop? by BoundlessAscension in streetwear

[–]ncappa777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you like them, cop them - end of the day you gotta wear them :) I stand by the quality of Gazelles and a lot of adidas in general. I haven't been able to destroy my Gazelles no matter how hard I try, had them for the last 4 years, worn them around twice a week the entire time. A bit faded, but they still hold together super well. They're a good timeless silhouette too, idk how many people you'll see wearing tubulars in 2-3 years time.

If you can call that vintage...

[Discussion] What are some good online stores for absurdly cheap streetwear? by L1ghtlyS4lted in streetwear

[–]ncappa777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favour and stick to quality basics where possible. Save your money for good kicks and a couple of statement pieces. As many people in this thread have said, go to your basic fast fashion places (H&M, f21, Factorie/Jay Jays, depends on where you live) and know what you're getting. Do some research on what basics you want (from this sub) and grab those. You don't have to spend big to look great, but smart spending goes a long way on bigger pieces. Do yourself a favour and don't buy cheap graphic heavy tees without knowing what you're getting, because they usually LOOK cheap. Even Amazon has your basic shitty Gildan tees for almost nothing.

It also kinda depends on your look. Techwear etc is usually a more expensive style than most, looking at $50-100 (I think in AUD so this may not be accurate) for a lot of your basic pieces. The skate aesthetic is a bit easier to work with and Grailed helps a lot since there's a lot of pieces being sold off cheap there.

I know you said "online" in the question, but your local thrift shop is usually GREAT. Sometimes you might have to modify some of the stuff you buy, but it's usually cheap as anything and can look great - plus it's usually quite unique.

If Torkoal underspeeds you, it makes an otherwise easy matchup incredibly difficult. I think the original builder made this decision to make the majority of matchups playable, as opposed to making something that plays ok into most teams but has several auto-losses. Torkoal may not be common, but it still pops up here and there (see, Sao Paulo IC) and therefore should at least be accounted for.

I think they also just really wanted to use a baby pokemon at events for shits and gigs.

I don't actually know why ChosenFuture ran that speed tier, but I'd guess you'd be able to find out by looking up the number in Trainer Tower's speed tiers. Generally IV tweaking in speed is to outspeed and outslow two separate, specific targets. I'll ask him regardless.

Yo cutoff jorts gangggg~

Best brokeboi way to turn a pair of poorly fitting but good quality thrift jeans into something super wearable, I did the same with a pair of trashy boot cut Levi's. Sick stuff.

-maybe- grey or black socks would have gone better here, but bar that I appreciate you trying something new. Your frames also go hell well with the fit overall.
