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

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 (seven years ago) link
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 (seven years ago) link
they're soccer shoes
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:36 (seven years ago) link
i disagree, they dont have cleats
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:37 (seven years ago) link
they're for indoor soccer
― Number None, Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:38 (seven years ago) link
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

mostly ppl who wore mock turts under flannels were samba folk iirc my youth
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 March 2017 00:09 (seven years ago) link
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 (seven years ago) link
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.

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 (seven years ago) link
i like sambas but they're a little played at this point
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 March 2017 01:31 (seven years ago) link
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

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.

Got a pair of OG green trim Rod Lavers and they are comfortable AF. Also drawing looks from chix so that’s a plus. Might get the red trim next time.

^^ well those shoes are pretty standard so those chix probably aren't interested in your shoes if you know what i mean *hi five*

decided to skip both and went for air tech challenge ii in hot lava, a shoe i actually wore in early middle school (or was it the end of elementary school?)
