still lol’ing at larssen calling my shoes bad when they’ve been written about in GQ as ‘all time classics’.

the fact im dating a fashion designer in one of the world’s most fashion-conscious cities doesn’t matter … she wears dr martens!

an anonymous, faceless faux-german who won’t post any details about himself because he thinks he’s going to be the next sebastian kurZ really knows how to dress.

get cucked

An ugly pair of new balances doesn't get any prettier if you sprinkle american commercial accolades on them, uziq. It's like saying the grammy awards are truly reflective of the best music made in a year. Ha

Who wears american dad-bod sneakers under a nice trenchcoat, tut tut. So many better options! I thought you spent about half your annual salary on custom made, perfumed french shoes.

Also a kippah is headwear for jews, uziq. It would be the funniest thing, Dilbert would be beside himself.

He even said sneakers work with a suit

sneakers do work with a suit. why are you affecting this bourgeois sneer about formal wear? people have been wearing smart high-end sneakers with suits for decades. i have some linen suits that don’t look formal enough for dress shoes, and do look good in new balance or, say, a crepe soled desert boot (yes, i have the nice handmade french shoes too.)

why are you even giving out fashion advice when you’re too lame to even post a picture? it’s just funny.

new balance 990s are considered a classic shoe. fashion magazines write about them. i don’t have some outré opinion here. even GQ has written editorials about them. this is mainstream, normie fashion opinion. i’m not trying to justify some questionable decision on my part here. the 990 is an iconic sneaker.

if you think i’m the first person to pair a nice trench coat with some comfortable shoes, may i suggest you walk around paris, london, berlin, new york, seoul, etc, sometime? you sound like a hopeless sap. i’m sure you have perfected formal menswear, larssen, between your management consultancy work and your EU stooge postings. well done. have a biscuit. now post a picture.

You literally posted shooting shoes. Probably quite trendy in the competition shooting world, no?

Some of the engineer/STEM guys I've been around could've probably done with some fashion magazines. 70s suits in the 90s and other kits straight out of Revenge of the Nerds.

Shooting shoes are functional.

What next?

"Ooh he has Pirelli P7s on his car. Justin Bieber is rocking Continentals now, Pirellis are so last year, who puts them on their car IN 2021? ONLY LOSERS! LMAO!"

Bruh, NB sneakers are pretty functional.

Today I learned - uziq reads fashion magazines

i googled 'new balance 990 fashion' and the GQ article was right near the top.

i imagine larssen is far more solidly in the demographic of people who buy male 'lifestyle' magazines or aspire to the well-groomed, debonair, businessman/bachelor thing. safe to say i don't read GQ.

'memorizing a trainer brand and model' -- no. that trainer specifically is just as iconic as like a pair of converse or dr martens boots. it's not as if i have the new balance product line memorized. the 990s are their flagship trainer and have stood for everything from 'steve jobs' to 'seinfeld' in the last 25-30 years. they are very recognisable.

your average person could probably namedrop air jordans or some iconic basketball shoe without being a 'sneakerhead'. this is just a case of you being firmly disconnected from youth culture or, well, any sort of culture at all, really.

i don't collect trainers, don't read fashion websites, never spend much time at all thinking about what clothes to buy, really. as i said, i've repurchased the same shoes, coats, shirts, etc. for years now. i don't expend much time or energy on it at all. and yet here i am romancing beautiful fashion designers and there you are ... a useless cuck making 'elbows are pointy'-grade remarks. maybe go and bark up another tree?

It is almost time for bed. Really looking forward to some sweet dreams.

Wait, I thought I was criticised for looking things up on google.

OK

you’re criticised for hastily dragging in any scientific article or newspaper factoid you can find to service your crackpotism and weird obsessions. half the time the academic studies you enlist don’t even say the things you think they say, because you skim read the abstract for one or two sentences that seem to parrot your bilge and then link away.

the 990 is new balance’s most recognisable shoe. that’s why they became associated with the (now ironic, now not ironic) ‘dad shoe’ look. they’ve been NB’s most expensive and most comfortable, do-all shoe for almost 30 years. as i said, they are to the comfortable office sneaker what converse are to punks or vans are to skateboarders. anyone who has done their own clothes shopping at some point in their life will probably be familiar with them, in appearance if not name.

google any picture of steve jobs or ‘1990s seinfeld’ or even google a recent fashion trend like ‘normcore’/some other 90s revivalism and the NB 990s won’t be far away.

again, nobody is expecting you to know anything about youth cultures, fashion, fashion magazines, etc. you are a giant fucking nerd who spent his uni years piddling about with target pistols. but don’t make out like i’m some sort of weird obsessive fashionista because i recognise an extremely popular shoe. i’m younger than you and actually go outside. your habit of positioning yourself at the fulcrum of human experience, as if you are by default the representative universal man in your views and knowledge, is alternately very quaint and very fucking depressing. dilbert doesn’t always know it best.

yeah you’re just going to make inane remarks. good job.

If someone who doesn't know needs to find out what the heck constitutes business casual, business formal, whatever, then googling fashion stuff is probably an OK idea. Going to a friend's wedding and don't want to embarrass yourself, well better not be caught googling faSsIoN. That stuff's for sissies and will get us cOnQuErEd bY tHe ChInEsE!

I would probably wear socks with sandals to a meeting with Larssen. If it's not the official footwear of Washington, it should be. Just representing my fellow citizens.

For pizza, make it pineapple-cheese.
