I’m glad you said something not many people know about raf bunny boots then the raf ozweego bunny and how yoon paid homage to the history with this shoe.
This and the MC-18 that released last year take inspiration from the US Bunny Boot which is used for extremely cold weather. The same writing is found on those boots and you would keep the gusset closed to insulate the boots. The bunny boots also featured the size on the back pannel of the shoe which is why it's present here as well.
Not gonna lie this is not comfortable at all. Walked around for around 2 hours and got so many blisters. But it's a beautiful pair of shoes nonetheless.
Honestly that was my first thought too, and yes they certainly didn't focus on comfortability. But nonetheless I just wore some thicker socks (or maybe also 2 pair of socks stacked) and it felt way better. Wore them at a party for like 6-7 hours and I had no blisters at all.
@@Arschnart Yea that should work. But my main problem I think was that I was walking around Paris on cobblestone streets and that's pretty challenging.
I went half a size down, took out the insole and wear the laces loose and they fit perfect. Its interesting how theyre two different models but look almost identical. I wish the black pair had the same text.
3:05 that phrase 'keep double laced...' is also written on the lace holes in converse moutain club -18 (mc-18). I think converse reused those leftover material from making those (mc-18). Even their silhouettes are similar to each other. Converse wrote the double laced thingy for mc-18, because the concept of the shoes was a hiking gear.
I was able to grab them super late at ubiq, they only had a size 11 and I’m a tts 11.5 they don’t fit to bad, as far as styling I’m paring them with all saints cropped trousers. They give off a rick owen vibe (more than most converse)
@@picsoleated anyway, those ambush chucks looks like those bata bunny boots used in Alaska. Imagine someone living in a tropical country using bunny boots. That'll be hilarious. 😁 😁 😁 😁
Should I base my size on what size I am in converse ? Bc I find that my size is 4 in convers but everyday shoes I’m a size 5 ... what size should I get ?
Not faint of heart? I don't know about you but i'd been looking forward to these since i saw sneak peaks in september, them being pretty particular with their inspiration from the bunny boots, they were perfect for the retro/futuristic alien look i was looking for. That being said they ended up retailing for 180$ and I'm guessing they got shouted out in a couple hype sneaker pages because they sold out withing hours... For me they were the perfect shoes apart from the kinda split sole/platform and since they were so expensive I was hoping to get them maybe on sale, but alas they sold out super quick. I'm glad they're getting love from all sorts of places but I've also seen many people who just bought them to resell and that's a bit sad. Nevertheless hope you can rock and enjoy em a whole bunch! Thanks for making dope content.
They are copies of army "Bunny Boots" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_boots which Raf Simons has used in his shows multiple times in the past few years and made a replica of with Adidas for his Sterling Ruby collaboration. It's a nice take on the shoe though.
The writing below the eyelets is taken from the bunny boot, a boot used by the us military in the past. This whole shoe takes inspiration from them
Thank you for clearing that up
So Theres No "puma" associated with this at all...?
I’m glad you said something not many people know about raf bunny boots then the raf ozweego bunny and how yoon paid homage to the history with this shoe.
Raf simons made a version of the army shoes too, in collaboration with adidas. Looks a little bit different tho.
They are actually pretty amazing bro. After seeing it from most angles, it looks less rain boot-y hahaha
I know what you mean, they grown on ya haha. Still not my size so there's no hope for the boi. You gonna get em?
Copped cuz there basically $180 Rick Owens 😭
I fucking died, i was thinking the same 💀
I wouldn’t even pay $20 for them shits
exactly!!!

Same it's not comfortable
@@Arschnart Did they end up breaking in and becoming more comfortable? Or not at all?
Just ordered a pair of size 13's on GOAT for $245. I am a true to size 13 so I am hopeful. SO DAMN EXCITED!
They're gonna look like clown shoes in size 13s lol. Wish you luck though!
L you should’ve ordered a 12
@@Criiies they DONT. hahah. I'm 6'6". size 13's are small for a man of my height. Next time thin k about the possibility of scale bud!
@@elizabethm7951 they are perfectly sized.
@@alexandre56k33 not at all. They are true to size. Fit perfectly.
Love this format of whole video being on feet footage. Much better than talking to the camera.
Been doing it for years
@@picsoleated yes. I found that out last night and subbed you instantly. Time to binge :)

ahh good to know thanks for clearing that up for me!
To add, I love, love the shot of them in front of the boxes!
I wished u woulda tried them on with different pants on camera.
Not a sneakerhead AT ALL, but these are amazing.
Woohoo! Another Torontonian youtube sneaker head!
Thank you for the review and backstory.
This is a must have, sadly i spent way too much on Nike x FOG so ill have to wait.
Nike FOG also a must have
@@picsoleated yeah
Nike FOG looks like garbage

I'm a 12, 12.5 TTS if I grab a 13 would it be to much room or a 12 giving that they are Chuck 70 soles
Isaac Johnson maybe a size 12 should be fine
@@MarquesGrimes thanks
Would you be willing to resell after year of use?
I've been wearing some old school Chucks. Low key... I kinda want these
I envy you. Those ambush chucks never released here in the philippines. I was waitingnfor that collab for weeks.
What?! No way, should've told me I would've sent a pair out :P I know someone who just went to the philippines
@@picsoleated anyway, those ambush chucks looks like those bata bunny boots used in Alaska. Imagine someone living in a tropical country using bunny boots. That'll be hilarious. 😁 😁 😁 😁
The upper is nice the bottom could be thinned out a little bit
Haha it's the only thing that could be
Hey man, love your channel, where can I get the pants you are wearing in the video?
I used to have a pair of the Mickey Mouse jump boots these were styled after, back in the ‘90s. They were awesome in cold weather
I wanted these but took too long to check out on converse smh
ahh that hesitation, always gets the best of us
I wear I size 13 but normally get a 12 in converse what size should I get?
Should I base my size on what size I am in converse ? Bc I find that my size is 4 in convers but everyday shoes I’m a size 5 ... what size should I get ?
Everyday shoes
Nice Rick Owens Ramones.
🤣 for 1/10th the price. That's the key
@@picsoleated dawg who pays retail man. 500 max for dem Ramones
just paid after market price yesterday, satisfied af
They're a nice pair of quality kicks, you won't regret it

You are not the faint of heart, my friend
Sadly most "Alien" looking shoes are from pretentiously expensive brands like this one. Wish you the best of luck on finding a good pair tho!
@@waxa3869 Thank you so much, I'm gonna stay on the lookout and hopefully find a nice fit. I love that whole retro-futiristic style!
How did you know they drop ?
I'm a 12 or 12.5 depending on the shoes because I need the width. Should I grab a 13
I would recommend going TTS I don't think it's necessary to size up, but it's up to you if you feel your feet are wider than most
The most uncomfortable but sexiest pair of kicks I own. Even with thick socks on.
Raf simons made a version of these army-inspired winter boot too, in collaboration with adidas. Looks a little bit different tho.
The mc18 hi are much better. I own a black pair and love them. Folding the gusset makes more since with them because of the gore-tex.
Is the shoe tongue attached?
I guess you can wear to jeans and dailylook?!
박상현 i think you can but it depends on your taste
Well, I like em
Hey nice!
I thought u said “a good price”.. it’s $350 for a 9.5😳
Better than $5-600+ for most hype sneakers
@@picsoleated these are chucks tho
AMBUSH Chucks. Go check Ambush retail lol
@@rohinghosh2685 and? The chucks
off white are going for 1200+ rn
allah bless the off whites are much more hyped and a terrible price for plastic shoes as well
the text is a reference to bunny boots
Ahh thanks for helping me out with that!
love it
these note ( keep two laces to..... ) is exactly the same on my Raf, i thing they inspired by nasa boot
Take that Rick Owens!
These are the Herman Munster 12s

Wet weather shoes! lol
i just bought these at plato’s closet for $14...
Can i know name of your pant?
Nicee
Glad you liked it! Lmk what you think about the shoes!
wow
wow is correct
I have seen those today sitting in a store. Black pair as well. It is fucking ugly, unpleasant in hand and super uncomfortable.
Harsh critique, but it's a genuine experience, I see where you're coming from
THESE ARE THICCC
they're TOOO THICC, I can't handle
high fashion moon boots
Trop belles....mais bon ..trop chère pour moi...dommage..
Just buy ramones
its more expensive
@@CyRide00 nobody who wears rick pays retail, just buy second hand
What are thooooose!
looks kinda weird tbh
If they weren’t chunky then that’s a cop
Theyre inspired by bunny boots
nah
Fire but the elevated out sole is too girlie for me. Are you sure these are not girls shoes???? Hahahaha
Remind me of clown shoes
poor mans ricks??
Wtf is that
Ugliest shoes ever
When you can’t afford Rick Owens so you buy these lmao
There's actually nothing funny about that. People who can't afford Rick Owens exorbitant prices should happily get these
Picsoleated well I would buy these too cuz I can’t afford Rick Owens anyway😂
@@picsoleated the prices aren't that exorbitant considering the durability and design process it takes to create the shoes that Rick creates
Too feminine a colorway given the design for me. I think they would look fire in olive or military green and gum though.
MrPukestick it’s white
@@sensitivedesensitivity7349 I know and I think it looks feminine. The black don't.
