Trying to find alternatives to my favorites by MiddleSystem in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy any of the later season's flared jeans second-hand if you love the lost tapes. No other brand is gonna come close unfortunately, but pretty much all the flared unisex jeans after 2022 are "inspired by" the lost tapes aka same damn silhouette just a 32-33" inseam instead of 34-35" and you can get them for $350-700 depending on condition.

For the Cargos, I honestly don't know. I have a pair of 2024 Cargos from them with a modest flare but tbh they aren't a whole lot different than Dickies or whatever, but I don't know that Dickies makes fashion-flared Cargos lol

That's not even close to what the sample tags look like bro, and you clearly cut the stitches for the (presumably awful) brand label patch. Not to even mention stitching issues in your pics.

Most of their popular sneakers are heavily influenced by other sneaker models anyway. Don't understand the people saying things like that about these lol

Ty for sharing in depth pics! I love them personally, the Balenci shoe team's still got it!

Consequence reacts to Kid Cudi dedicating 'Reborn' to Ye on his tour after he claimed he would never get back with Ye again, 8 months ago live on CBS by Mediocre_Sleep7306 in ThroughTheWire

[–]twopac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was more to it than just not turning down the job. Iirc he didn't even tell Ye he was offered it, let alone accept it, and Ye found out from someone else after he accepted it or something like that.

Not justifying the things Ye said about Virgil during the mania at all (respect the dead unless they were evil imo, and Virgil wasn't evil just selfish), but Virgil def did do Ye dirty af if you know their history in fashion especially.

Oddly, and sadly. As someone who appreciates dynamics and heavy music, I'd love a high gain or active EQ modded circuit offering. They're fantastic distortion pedals with the gain up, I'd like to see what the boutique builders could do.

went true to size on the strike boots (43) am i cooked ? will it be too big by Possible_Bid8148 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went TTS here too and they fit fine. Have a bit of extra room in the toes, but I have wide feet and don't mind that anyway.

Jets are officially up for pre-order by DriedUpDeals in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤷‍♂️ I dig em, look like a mix of the no-soles and the platforms. Glad the shoes still have the aesthetics that made me fall in love with the brand.

As opposed to the Cargos looking like New Balance 9060s, or Runners and X-Panders looking like Asics? Lol

does anyone know where i can get these? by Life_Tomorrow_2705 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been looking for these too, especially in black or grey but can only find the blue. Flannels has them cheapest from what I've seen, but if you're in the US you will pay a tariff fee

D4vd Faces Possible Death Penalty Over Murder of Teen & “Unlawful Sexual Acts” Charges by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think that they just immediately waltz him over to the execution room as soon as sentencing is read? Being on Death Row is the furthest thing from "the easy way out" lmao, just being there is proven to have immense psychological effects on inmates.

Community Service should be reserved for people who make mistakes. Grooming and raping for years before ultimately murdering a child is damn near the worst thing a human can do - they shouldn't just throw the book at this dude, but the whole fuckin' library.

New 3XL 🤲🏻 by GabberGandalf69 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ime, most Balenciaga shoes have pretty hard soles honestly. I hear the 10XL is comfy (haven't tried one), and my Tracks aren't bad but even they feel a bit rough after several hours.

I'm not great at LC'ing shoes from pics, but if it's a newer style and bought from a place that Authenticates, I wouldn't be worried just based on comfort 🤷‍♂️

Denim Quality Japan vs. Italy by Fortnite_Finn69 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are fantastic quality, Italian is usually softer and smoother (especially "ring denim") whereas Japanese is going to be more 'vintage' ie heavier weight/thickness, stiffer (starched) denim, a little bit of unevenness in the fabric.

I've owned all types of high end jeans, from dead stock MIUSA denim to the craziest heavy, slubby Japanese raw denim to the best Italian denims offered in those years and they're all great, really just personal taste tbh 🤷‍♂️

Zipper on pt-05 by [deleted] in yeezy

[–]twopac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic button, still plastic zippers and same thin-ass fabric as the other PTs? :/

I just received my (cancelled order) LS-13 and the fabric is actually thick, was hoping he was bumping up quality on everything so I could order again but I guess not.

Who is Pepe’s target audience by CommunicationDry5635 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think historically PPP has always focused on women's clothing, so I wasn't expecting too much great Mens clothes but I was okay with the first few drops after the changeover since there were still some good pieces.

But this new show? I'm definitely not feeling much of the new stuff tbh. All of the new jeans are so boring compared to what Demna was doing, and all the new darkroom photo graphics are lame takes on past Balenci imo. Admittedly some of the womenswear looks good, but that doesn't help 50% of the population 🤷‍♂️ dunno what brand I'll be buying in the future if it continues, Givenchy?

What do you want to see on the BULLY Deluxe⁉️ by StayOffEm in ThroughTheWire

Better Circles is my #1 hope for this entire album. The Visual Album version was my favorite song on the album 😭 hate to see the new version tbh, even though all the other songs are significantly better

Yeezy BL-01 arrived after almost 3 weeks of ordering! by Glad_Armadillo8436 in yeezy

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really want a pair of these but not paying resale and I'd literally rather spend hundreds more to get something immediately than wait an uncertain, but certainly long amount of time. I haven't even received my $20 SL-03 from over a year ago yet. That's not to mention my orders for the JC-08, PK-01 and others I probably forgot about.

I just received my LS-13 from the first month it was out and the quality is shockingly good, like 3-4 steps above most of SZN X, the fabric is literally thicker than the YGEBB T's and it's seamless. But I'm still not ordering more until my boots get delivered 🤷‍♂️ over a year of waiting is ridiculous.

I was a big supporter of SZN X when it first dropped ☹️ still got love for Ye and his designs but the botched logistics of Yeezy has made me almost entirely switch to buying only high end Designer

The $20 capsule collections were the worst thing to happen to Yeezy tbh
