common projects are very nice looking imo and quite sturdy (ive had the same pair of white leather ones for like six years) but are fairly narrow and not as comfortable as almost any other sneaker ive purchased. i keep wanting to buy a pair of the adidas x parley ultraboosts but never putting any work into doing so. i like the ultraboost a lot tho
ive just been wearing sensible grown-up shows all winter and then a beat-up pair of roshe runs when sneakers are needed

putting a boost sole on stans, superstars, etc is some reprehensible shit imo

those stan smiths with the boost sole are hilarious and i'd wear them

same, im wearing a pair of stan smiths right now, the regular kind, and let me tell you: not comfortable shoes
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:33 (eight years ago)
when i was a kid sambas were worn mainly by kids who were really into soccer for some reason
thats a poorly written sentence—for some reason refers to the kids wearing sambas, not the kids being into soccer
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:34 (eight years ago)
they're soccer shoes
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:36 (eight years ago)
i disagree, they dont have cleats
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:37 (eight years ago)
they're for indoor soccer
― Number None, Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:38 (eight years ago)
yeah they're both literally a shoe made for playing indoor soccer and were (and are again now) popular in the uk with soccer fans

sambas and nike cortez were the heat growing up
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:58 (eight years ago)
mostly ppl who wore mock turts under flannels were samba folk iirc my youth
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 March 2017 00:09 (eight years ago)
I feel that dudes with cobbled together cafe racers are frequently wearing sambas. I say this as someone who does these things so maybe I just notice it more.
― joygoat, Friday, 24 March 2017 01:14 (eight years ago)
It's almost like a wide variety of people wear sambas.
I had some in 5th-6th grade in the mid 90s. Were popular amongst soccer kids, yeah.
― circa1916, Friday, 24 March 2017 01:26 (eight years ago)
sambas are the shoe you buy when you want to look like you spent a little time thinking about what shoes to buy but not a lot of time
― 龜, Friday, 24 March 2017 01:29 (eight years ago)
i like sambas but they're a little played at this point
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 March 2017 01:31 (eight years ago)
ya ive known people whove worn sambas all my life and a lot of them are into soccer
i was one of them
i used to own...what are they called? regular canvas adidas shoes? with that suede fabric or whatever, which i kinda relate to the people lagoon is talking about (not sure abt the faux turtleneck)
but adidas hasnt rly made any good color combos recently and i dont own any adidas at the mo but im used to wearing either of those two and playin street soccer more than on grass
― F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 24 March 2017 01:31 (eight years ago)

I've worn a lot of the "classics" over the years but never had sambas until 2010 or so. They were the first shoe where I wore them until they were spent and immediately bought a new pair. I've gotten new ones every 12-18 months since then but after putting them on after months of winter I am not really into them this time.

In spite of my general skepticism of facebook-advertised products, I've been kind of intrigued by Greats for a while. These nubuck hitops are pretty sweet, although no way I drop $200 on them.
