finally got a line on a pair i've been hunting for eleven years ... and yet, as much as i like the silhouette, still skeptical of nike's "baroque brown" leather ... sorry, it just reminds me of 💩

so I guess yeah, I agree with you that particular treatment of materials looks like shit

dog mountains are great, the new acg footwear has been fantastic and way better than the cheesy urban ninja stuff.

the off white halloween blazers look so nice. too bad they have the dumb off white text on the other side and are going to be impossible to buy anyway.

It’s funny how I am proud to strut about with my rubber toe caps and will salute colleagues in their vans and pumas but show me a big swoosh and I immediately have to pay a visit to the water closet
― Paleo Weltschmerz (El Tomboto), Sunday, 16 September 2018 02:41 (six years ago) link
Like that shoe looks great if only the big orange part could be, like, a hexagon or an oval or something. Not a big capital N though, that’s just as terrible
― Paleo Weltschmerz (El Tomboto), Sunday, 16 September 2018 02:43 (six years ago) link
i like those trainerendors

Soooooo pretty much wearing New Balance right now is kind of iffy?

false

NB isn't always necessarily in style, but they're never out of style
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:05 (six years ago) link
Was that a reference to the alt right thing?
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:09 (six years ago) link
i like the dog mountains had not seen those before
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:37 (six years ago) link
Yeah, like MAGAs are reaaally into New Balance. NB is fine but I also wouldn't wear a red ball cap anymore.
― Yerac, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:40 (six years ago) link
i will not allow some attention seeking racist yahoos to determine my footwear choice thank you very much and GOOD DAY SIR
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
the whole nike/off white collabo is pretty funny imho a bold suite of deconstructed sneakers to flip on ebay
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:42 (six years ago) link
You could also be an older asian tourist. IT"S ONE OR THE OTHER.
― Yerac, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:42 (six years ago) link
No one would assume you’re alt right for wearing NB. They sell them at j.crew
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:43 (six years ago) link
I already had some NBs and I did admittedly stop wearing them for a little while, but then started again. The brand is way too widespread and popular to be exclusively associated with racists. Maybe if they picked FILA or some shit.

the ultimate avatar of new balance is a nerdy rumpled dad
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:46 (six years ago) link
new balance is dadcore m/l is how i break it down to an extent
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
At some point, I looked up and caught the man sitting one table over from us Googling Confederate flags. I dismissed it — the cafe sat between two local universities and I figured he was working on a project for class. Later, I looked up again and saw that he’d made the flag his desktop background, angling his screen ever so slightly to face me, as if to make sure I saw. After Sayd and Ellen left for the night, I stayed behind to work. I saw then that the man was wearing a pair of red New Balances that looked recently purchased.
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
at least the classic grey sneaks obvs now they have all sort of hyper modern running shoes and whatnot
When I read that i thought it was pretty chilling—Something as familiar as new balance shoes transformed into a figure of menace by context.
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:48 (six years ago) link
Ok so new balance = rumpled dadcore, MAGA or older Asian tourist.
I keep fiddling with the cortez custom designer. I think I just don't like the color choices.

the magas can pry my NBs from my wide dead feet
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:50 (six years ago) link
Are NB great for wide feet? Holy crap.. I never knew, but this makes sense why my mom kept trying to buy NB for me.
― Yerac, Sunday, 16 September 2018 15:53 (six years ago) link
many of their shoes are available in a variety of widths

how about kyrie 4s?
― the late great, Sunday, 16 September 2018 16:18 (six years ago) link
seems like they kind of flopped because there's a million cheap pairs floating around
i don't really wear basketball shoes but the decade pack 90s caught my eye ... remind me of my beloved jr high school air tech challenges
― the late great, Sunday, 16 September 2018 16:24 (six years ago) link
i like em
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 16 September 2018 16:26 (six years ago) link
there are some pretty loony ones out there, like these mismatched colors with scribbled writing all over them ones, which is appropriate since kyrie is himself a total loon

when u buy them they give u one yellow and one purple shoe which makes sense
