I usually wear Tiger Asics, but I haven't bought any in years and they got really expensive! Or did I just get super cheap?
I'm really into the way Spingles look.
― Yerac, Saturday, 17 February 2018 00:13 (six years ago) link
Maybe all shoes in general have gotten expensive.
God those throwback Nikes are horrid. The worst years of my growing up distilled into two pairs of sneakers. Thanks, tlg

/Also drawing looks from chix so that’s a plus/^^ well those shoes are pretty standard so those chix probably aren't interested in your shoes if you know what i mean *hi five*

Wow. No offense but those are fugly

read the post!
Nikes and I long ago figured out that we need different things in a relationship. I have a heavy step and they just can't last.
also how come nobody ever says "no offense" before dragging on my choices in this thread
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 4 March 2018 20:26 (six years ago) link
air max 97s are not 'ugly' & its kind of cool how late 90s fashion makes them the most on trend possible sneaker to exist right now
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 22 March 2018 06:34 (six years ago) link
i dont like all colorways of the air max 270 but i do like these quite a bit:

the multi color ones are CRAZY but i kind of think only women can really pull them off: https://instagram.com/p/Bejg0YTAcpt/

*i mean vapormax soles, not heels
https://images.yoox.com/11/11385845ml_14_r.jpg
These kept following me around the net and I caved in the end. Not arrived yet so I hope they suit me
― loud horn beeping jazzsplaining arse (dog latin), Thursday, 22 March 2018 09:20 (six years ago) link
The vapormax sole looks like a chunky boot. The max 720 needs to see a doctor about that. The pink ones you posted, though, could go with all kinds of stuff? I can easily imagine some DC kids wearing those with camo pants and making it all work. Or any dude who shops at Why Not Boutique. I think it is time to stop being gender normative about sneakers. Heels and sandals I’ll admit I’m not there yet.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 March 2018 12:34 (six years ago) link
i can pull off the pink shoes
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 March 2018 13:21 (six years ago) link
re: gender normative about sneakers i agree but i think this works for her but the effect would be kind of odd for a masc-presenting person for w/e reason https://instagram.com/p/Bejg0YTAcpt (moreso than the pink ones)
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:12 (six years ago) link
nah a masc person could wear those easy
just pair w/ a solid neutral outfit (for example black pants, black shirt)
― the late great, Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:29 (six years ago) link
honestly I think the most effeminate thing about the vapormax is the fact that it just looks like a chunky black heel. tlg not wrong either. what kind of socks though
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:34 (six years ago) link
My gf bought the pink & white nikes and loves them.
I wish i was able to queue for the multi-animal print nike air maxs but alas sometimes you gotta go to the job that would have paid for them.

i've never owned shoes like that
i tend toward more trad things like stan smiths, tennis classics, retro new balances, court force hi, clarks, etc
i had some prestos a long time ago but it never felt enough like wearing shoes to me

buy chuck taylors in american flag print
― the late great, Friday, 23 March 2018 01:52 (six years ago) link
ok ok
I would get those if they were on sale in my size. the thing about most of my chuck craziness is I wait it out and if they are too cool to still be available in US M 9.5 / 10 by the time they get a price cut, then I was never cool enough to rock them anyway (pour one out for those nasa apollo limited edition chuck 70s)
― El Tomboto, Friday, 23 March 2018 01:56 (six years ago) link
lol
tlg from the little i know about your style i feel like you could make those work. i don't think they're as far from something like stans as one might initially think. tho there are a lot of gis results of people wearing them with selvedge which is a bridge too far for me.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 23 March 2018 01:59 (six years ago) link
i don't know, i never even wear my most prized / collectible shoes, just not chunky enough
i just feel like i'm wearing pointy genie shoes

yeah i only wear like carhartt work pants (the ones that look like dickies) and regular fit jeans ... kinda on the baggier 90s end
