nice

(tho wld prob do white laces were they mine)

find myself really wanting a pair of vintage john stockton-style avia high tops but they are not cheap on the internet. avia, get your shit together and make white basketball high tops again. ITS FREE MONEY

lol u are right of course but it's Avia, being out of touch is their whole thing

i buy a new pair of all-white tretorns every summer, they are great

i'm kind of bewildered by their UK distribution strategy. they are in like zero shoe shops i.e. Size, Schuh, etc and have no shop of their own. i tried to buy my Nylites online but my size was sold out. however, John Lewis of all places had plenty of stock. i feel like these 80s European preppie/sporty brands like Tretorn and Benetton should be absolutely cleaning up but they only have these weird little outposts, or none at all.

i get mine off zappos in the US but it looks like they are making moves--available on madewell now which is like a j crew lifestyle offshoot.

my size is ALWAYS sold out on their site...

point of inquiry, how many pairs of str8 fire beautiful kicks in a year is too many. asking for a guy who really doesn't buy that many but got a pair of nite joggers last week and now wants more nice sneakers

treat yrself man

stop now while you can

I am on a limited income. I have ~str5 pairs of moderately-smoldering appealing kix. I buy three pairs a year, and I always throw out the crappiest pair when I get new ones.

i have ~25 footwares prob half are sneakers, i think ive only bought one pair in the last year which are the vans sneaker boots which i love

prob bought a couple pair of running shoes too but that doesnt count imo

i want to get these asics: https://www.stadiumgoods.com/gel-lyte-5-h41gk-8686-lime-lime

those r dope ive owned a bunch of gel lytes

nice, they seem like a great add to the rotation if i can swing it.

I am generally against product tie-ins but I want these.

i like the styling a lot but wish they didn't say "stranger things" and "1985" on them

ya

and the name of the sneaker is the air tailwind 79

Oh F. I totally didn't see the Stranger Things on it. This is a no.

sneaker that hits you over the head with precious vintageyness also carrying the label of a show that hits you over the head with precious vintageyness is just a bridge way too far

I love nylon and mesh on sneakers and want more of that.

those r nice 4 sure

feel like i owned a yellow and blue nylon pair long ago

there are plenty of non-Stranger Things branded versions of the Tailwind 79

I am looking at the colors of the regular ones and the only ones that are interesting are the yellow and red ones. I hate how they put out good styles and relegate them to blue and white, red and white, black and white.

i want these extremely vanilla boring ones but they are sold out everywhere

they made tailwinds for pride this year

pretty lame imho

might as well go all the way i think, go big or go home

These are totally outside the parameters of what I normally wear but they were $28 at the outlet mall and I was enamored. They come with pink laces for extra ridiculousness.

dad sneaker filtering through high fashion and then back to the normal companies as some limited edition shit is an interesting aesthetic journey

If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this... seems to be more in line with their views. pic.twitter.com/prAyOwTOau

I wore the last sneakers displayed pretty much every day for the last 3 years, so definitely time for something slightly new.

They look especially amazing when fogged up with footsweat

at first glance i did think the blue line above the toes was a high water mark
