i just buy pleather keds from the medical uniform supply store and stencil some gold numbers on them. fashion hack

These would be really cool if not for the stupid text on the back.

beard papa, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:26 (five years ago)

ugh. That's like the fourth time lately I see a shoe I like that turns out to have some stupid star wars tie in.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:25 (five years ago)

I wanted to buy a pair of sneakers for the dry months, especially that looks good with light colored chinos and shorts, but I'm stumped. I hate logos, so I'm kind of screwed right off the bat, but I can tolerate plain minimally labeled stuff like Chucks and some Vans. I usually end up just getting white Chuck Taylor 70s, and I'll probably end up doing the same this year.

Anybody have any recent experiences with Greats? I'm liking these, but for $119 + shipping, they'd better be more durable than your average pair of Vans.

tretorns?

white vans

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 21:39 (five years ago)

fwiw there are plenty vans looking skate shoes thatre built much more durable for skateboarding, not sure what they are off the top of my head but im sure u cld track some down

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:31 (five years ago)

i personally enjoy the process of trashing a pair of vans over the summer

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:32 (five years ago)

i wash and bleach them a bunch so they get all soft and worn in

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:32 (five years ago)

then i keep last years pair on backup for when im washing this years

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:33 (five years ago)

any of the pro Vans are infinitely more durable than the regular ones

to a slightly suspicious degree in fact...

Number None, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:49 (five years ago)

lol

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 22:58 (five years ago)

not familiar with greats; may be a nice shoe in leather but eff paying $100+ for a knit sneaker that is by definition not durable.

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:34 (five years ago)

damn authentic pro is only $10 more than the regular ones https://www.vans.com/shop/authentic-pro-q0dqlz

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:37 (five years ago)

you'll thank yourself for the ultracush too

Number None, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:52 (five years ago)

kinda feel like its against the spirit of vans but i might give em a shot once the sun comes back

lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:53 (five years ago)

i literally had never heard of this brand until i got a promoted instagram post for them like 5 hours ago

call all destroyer, Saturday, 25 January 2020 00:51 (five years ago)

lmao that’s where i got it from!!

i did see some about a year ago in lisbon. It was on a tram. no idea what the model was but i was pretty taken with them, they seemed understated but somehow a little different. I craned my neck around to try and see the brand on the tongue through everyone else’s ankles.

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 25 January 2020 01:07 (five years ago)

i think they're too dressed-up/euro for my current style but they would definitely catch my eye if i saw them around

calstars, Saturday, 15 February 2020 20:05 (five years ago)

i like the reviews for that nike that only give the styling 3 stars

rip van wanko, Saturday, 15 February 2020 20:39 (five years ago)

I know my advice is a net negative on this thread, for reasons, but imho you should get those vans immediately

El Tomboto, Saturday, 15 February 2020 21:38 (five years ago)

My third pair of pumas. Lolz

nathom, Saturday, 15 February 2020 23:33 (five years ago)

until you’re up to 36 pairs of the same brand, there’s nothing to worry about

El Tomboto, Saturday, 15 February 2020 23:41 (five years ago)

Oh not worrying at all. Bought them in about a month? I def need more. Prob some hight tops or whatever you call’em.

I don't know why I catch so much hell on this thread when people are all like "oh look at this nike air barf I love"

El Tomboto, Friday, 17 April 2020 19:38 (five years ago)

idk I'm still haunted by your first post

kind of reminds me of a great twitter roast thread for a pair of shoes

mh, Friday, 17 April 2020 19:52 (five years ago)

I have maybe one pair of shoes that has an actual pattern/interesting thing going on and a bunch of boring-ass black and white shoes but I salute the people who are into more expansive color patterns and interesting designs

idk about the chucks with a pattern from the hard rock hotel bar wallpaper but they're an aesthetic
