str8 fire beautiful kix

#shoether

I’m in the same boat, ENBB! No idea where to start. Never been a sneaker gal but thanks to various body parts breaking down, it is now time.

i know this is going to be a heavy lift for the non sneaker experienced but just wear some cool nikes dont go for some trying to be classy half sneaker half shoe shit plz, or maybe some classic canvas units cld work for the summer (most have updated versions with comfy modern sole technology if u need that)

Rod Lavers or Stan smiths

The Lacombe SPZL is a lovely shoe if you want something Smithian but with a soupçon of continental flair

id suggest just adidas nmds of some sort or nike roshes. cushioned sole, light synthetic uppers.

personally I think the greatest thing to happen to casual footwear was when Cole Haan coupled Nike Air technology with their own trademark sophisticated country aesthetic

too pink? http://www.golausa.com/gola-classics-c1/gola-classics-womens-harrier-suede-trainer-p1313

I definitely need comfy modern sole technology, converse/vans ain't gonna cut it.

Basically if you sneaker ppl just want to pick out sneaks for me, pls do so, post link, I will buy, u will be proud to have put good sneaks out into the world, on me.

I don't know what a reasonable sneak budget is but I rarely buy shoes so I can justify going into three figures if there is good reason for that.

Like that gola website is freaking me out, too many choices!

"I definitely need comfy modern sole technology, converse/vans ain't gonna cut it."

Same plus I already have 2 pairs of each.

Oh my other requirement is that the shoe stand up to some dirt, because fuck washing I shoe I mean c'mon now

def like the harriers better

if yr gonna get that style of shoe why not go to the source tho https://www.newbalance.com/classics/women/classics-1

yeah nike roshe twos are very good sneakers, fashionable and comfortable w/o being too trendy

agreed that roshes are a cute sneak

OK I ordered the roshes and the harriers to see which I like best. Thanks, ilx sneak nerds!

Fuck NB those aren’t even sneakers anymore they’re just banker-ass weekend wear like faded red chinos

Gola & always wear as much pink as you feel

Yeah I couldn't get on board with the NBs, just not feeling them. Any of them.

rude, rude

what does everyone think of these very expensive but very boring (imo) shoes i've started to see in the wild? https://i.imgur.com/s1zRKRB.jpg

they remind me of those awful bape shoes

all I have to say about allbirds is that they were DEVELOPED for dorks, and cool only flows downhill

and as far as diamonddave's shoes, do they come faux-distressed lowers or are those just dirty?

also fuck the idea that sneakers aren't comfortable enough already, might as well just walk around wearing a neck pillow

I have image searched GGDB shoes and it appears that everything they sell comes faux-distressed

awful

Fake dirt

Yeah that's dumb as shit. I mean pre-distressed is generally dumb, but it can take months or years to get a good fade starting from a pair of new selvege jeans. White sneakers will get dirty in like a couple weeks of wear if you don't clean them.

ew faux distressed is some Journeys-tier bad

you must laboriously scuff and dirty your shoes over your own sink ime

insanely rich ppl need a way to look like they ever come in contact with dirt too

I totally willfully "destroyed" a pair of Diesel sneakers in college and they basically secured me my first college gf

lol

i have realized why all you hip nyc "cats" think my chucks schtick is so weird and dumb - basically nobody up here wears them. it's all vans and nikes. amazing.

oh and some NBs on the fascists I guess

the title of the thread is str8 fire beautiful kix not rationalize your shoes

I'm just trying to understand you

are you really

Yes

thoughts??

to wear Chucks you have to be so preternaturally immune to self-consciousness that you are either a wizard or a sociopath

same will be true for Vans within several years

I can't wear that shit, I need arch support, hate how thin they are, str8 fire uncomfortable

to wear either you have to have good feet or high pain tolerance

haha xpost, exactly

how many pairs of sneaks do you ppl have

like I have one pair if you count my running shoes for actual running

but soon I will have two (at least I hope the roshes or golas work out!)

Uh
