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

3

Put a 6 to the right of calstars’ answer.

brooooo

i think i have less than 10

soo tom is the reason u wear such um eccentric chucks releases because u collect them

I have chucks as lifting shoes. Now that it’s warm out I just walk to the gym in my workout clothes, but I feel deeply embarrassed wearing the chucks outside.

They hurt my feet if I walk further than about .1 miles

maybe two years ago I realized that like half of my undergrad students were suddenly wearing (exclusively) white (mostly) hi-top chucks; I still see lots of them around even at a totally different school thousands of miles away. This was funny to me because I own a pair of white hi top chucks that are older than some of these students.

nah

I'll always rep for high-end NB's in grey. Did I just type that

You did but I can’t understand why

One of the very few sneakers you can wear to, say, a restaurant that is not McDonald's

Where do you people even live

I can't tell where you stand. Are you against sneakers as causual wear?

I wear sneakers every day. I wear sneakers to official meetings and speaking engagements

I also don’t understand people being embarrassed by chucks while other people rep for retired dudes’ sweatpants shoes. But as lagoon points out on the reg, it takes all kinds

You posted some wacky plaid chucks, don't be disingenuous

I’m not! Those woolrich special editions are awesome

i love both chucks and woolrich but.... lol

(i also love those new balance)

tho i used to be a big N new balance guy when i was younger, now im more of a small n new balance guy

fwiw i havent had a pair of new balance for fashion for a while tho they are my standard running shoe (obvs the running and lifestyle lines are pretty different)

currently running in what is a pretty lifestyley colorway of an actual running shoe

nb zantes are maybe my fave running shoe.....ever?

wide toebox, foam sole that falls right between minimal and medium padding, nice and light, fairly thin minimal upper, is basically the shape of my foot

nice, i never know what to get for running shoes. i have a pair of nike free rns from a couple years ago that i bought in theory as running shoes, but i decided the soles are too flexible for me to like them for that. they look pretty good, though, so i've just been wearing them for daily use lately.

yeah its tough, especially considering shoes companies nonsensical need to tinker with their designs constantly, you find something you like then have to go digging for more on ebay cause the new versions are fd up

it would take traumatic brain injury to get me to switch from Brooks for running. Other brands can approximate the for and comfort but blow up after 150 miles while Brooks will have another 150 left

for=fit

lagoon I thought you ran in those foot gloves

omg rude

maybe each of us has a sartorial achilles heel

with Tombot it's the whole foot extending to a couple of inches above the ankle

often see lag∞n running thru the neighbourhood in foot gloves, cargo shorts and zipper hoodie

i was still wearing air max 97s (mine are black and gray) but now it's too hot for them... and the air max 270s which i also really like are always sold out in my size in all the cool colors. ugh. why do nike frees get uglier every year?

i saw pete carroll wears the nike monarchs from that article posted upthread, but my question is.. what about jim harbaugh? is jim harbaugh fashion?

after a few years of nb 574's i decided to take a break from that brand because i feel weird supporting them (lol i'm sure all of these companies are the same but ¯\_(╯︵╰,)_/¯ ) and i ended up with what might be my new go-tos for the next 10 years. got these reebok classic leathers and i love the way they feel. thing is they're all black and i haven't had all black sneakers in forever and i feel like i don't know what to wear them with & that they kinda look like "food services" shoes

i have a white pair w the gum soles quality kix imho

i went back & forth btwn white and black and went for black bc i already have a pair of white sneaks that i wear from time to time (altho they're not as sharp these days, might replace them in the next year or so). still one of my most favourite looking pairs i've ever owned.

apologize for digressing on thread bc my kicks are less "str8 fire beautiful" and more "serviceably handsome and just fine"

idk those asics r pretty wild, i think ive come to peace with this just being the sneaker thread instead of the beautiful gallery i had visualized lol

lagoon I thought you ran in those foot gloves
