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.

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.

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

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.

many of their shoes are available in a variety of widths

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

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

Man, I can not pull off shoes like that. I admire how Michele Wolf (regardless if you like her or not) has that huge ass loud Nike collection and it totally looks fine on her.

Seeing so many nike x offwhite trainers in the wild and they all look like shit.First nike react sighting today, thought they looked great, albeit on quite small feet. Feel like I’d look like a clown in them. Just wearing Veja/Zespa now pretty much. Got some nike 180s (sand/blue) a few months ago and am loving them.The dog mountains are really nice.

i think the nike offwhite's look dope tbh especially the prestos...the price point is just absurd.
