pretty sure I had a pair of these when I was a kid. I love the waffle cleats on the bottom. Anyone know if the waffle style is still a thing?
― calstars, Monday, 7 November 2016 01:13 (eight years ago) link
Oh fuck i had some waffle nikes like that in hs that were a brighter green and i held onto them for a decade then they got too close to a campfire one fateful night. wish i knew where to find them now
― geometry-stabilized craft (art), Monday, 7 November 2016 02:09 (eight years ago) link
I would love to see more waffle sole nikes in funky suede colorways out there on the street. STRONG BUY

i also like the olive color & white although i cant be trusted with white sneakers

they've also made a version that is 95% recycled ocean plastic, lol

could also wait for the triple black version which look cold af but i feel like chasing those will be far too labor intensive
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 7 November 2016 15:15 (eight years ago) link

It's just me I guess but I can't get behind this whole style..they just don't look cool
― calstars, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:06 (eight years ago) link
I don't get this whole style moment of sneakers being a couple of ounces of styrofoam and a synthetic mesh upper and being hundreds of dollars. It could not be any clearer that the shoe cost about $1.67 to make.
― If authoritarianism is Romania's ironing board, then (in orbit), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:20 (eight years ago) link
they aren't hundreds of dollars afaik. ultraboosts are like 100 dollars or something?
i prefer the normal ones to the uncaged ones but they're incredibly hard to get - they sell out instantly. think they look a lot nicer on the foot than in images like the above too.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:23 (eight years ago) link
$180 when i googled quick?
― If authoritarianism is Romania's ironing board, then (in orbit), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:24 (eight years ago) link
underrated and maybe not obvious aspect of e.g. a roshe is that they are m/l indestructible
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:26 (eight years ago) link
they are like £130 here - i assumed cheaper in america.

i like the ocean plastic one

ya agreed, i can't get w/ these
― marcos, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 15:04 (eight years ago) link
i like them and think it's on trend and fits in with the acceptance of sweats and joggers as every day wear
― 龜, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 15:18 (eight years ago) link
i like this style of shoe but it doesnt fit the shape of my foot which is sad
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 15:20 (eight years ago) link
i compromise by rocking the nike trainerendors as depicted in the second post of this thread
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 15:21 (eight years ago) link
dayo otm. thats the key. these don't work with standard cut jeans.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 16:50 (eight years ago) link
fairly slim jeans and they look fine. i also think they are prob more durable than a lot of other sneakers, not less. roshe runs definitely were and i have a pair of adidas tubular which are indestructible.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link
nice, i posted about those upthread.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
i have these ones
http://sneakerbardetroit.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/adidas-tubular-93-black-yellow-1.jpg
i like the new ones (nova) a little more than the pair i have but they are too similar for me to actually buy them.

The ultra boost uncaged look weird in isolation but cool on feet imo assuming you're wearing joggers or tapered sweats
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 10 November 2016 00:44 (seven years ago) link
Did anyone talk about NMDs around here? I went for boost uncaged even tho they're more expensive bc you're actually able to find them new, NMDs are slightly cheaper but sell out instantly.
As far as price the notion is you're paying for design & comfort & the ultra boosts are definitely super comfortable

Can anyone id Helen Dewitt's running shoes in this pic? I think they look cool but it might just be b/c she's wielding a chainsaw

Some of these look cool as <objects> but I can't get my head around wearing them on my feet.

yes wrapping yr head around yr feet does sound uncomfortable
― lag∞n, Saturday, 12 November 2016 15:16 (seven years ago) link
don't like those nmds at all. i only really liked the plain white or black ones but overall think ultraboosts are nicer.
i think as a few people have said, these mould a lot better to feet and look better on than in a photo.
