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

I would love to see more waffle sole nikes in funky suede colorways out there on the street. STRONG BUY

Also it looks like a cartoon alligator who is just napping waiting for some new balance bullshit to try and cross the river alone and then SNAP CHOMP yup good for another 6 months because COLD BLOODED

any strong opinions abt adidas ulta boost uncaged, thinking abt a pair in blue:

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

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 7 November 2016 14:55 (eight years ago) link

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

decided on these like a dumbass now i can't eat while wearing them for fear of stains

v nice

Spottie, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 05:39 (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.

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?

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.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 8 November 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link

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

, 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

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 10 November 2016 00:46 (seven years ago) link

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

oh no

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 11 November 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link

xxp i thought they looked like Brooks maybe ?

geometry-stabilized craft (art), Friday, 11 November 2016 20:12 (seven years ago) link

Does the orange thing move back and forth? It looks like a power switch.

calstars, Friday, 11 November 2016 20:23 (seven years ago) link

so... do I have to chuck my New Balances now?

yeah they're nice

I like those nmds a lot although not as much as the glitch camo ones

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Saturday, 12 November 2016 01:43 (seven years ago) link

That said it feels impossible to get any of the good ones without spending north of $250

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Saturday, 12 November 2016 02:00 (seven years ago) link

Yeah no

calstars, Saturday, 12 November 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link

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

wanderly braggin' (seandalai), Saturday, 12 November 2016 15:13 (seven years ago) link

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.
