str8 fire beautiful kix

no matter how many times/ways prada, balenciaga, or whoever does their high fashion versions of kix, I can't get past the fact that they are prada or balenciaga or whatever and that makes them decidedly not kix in my mind

Sorry but those are butt

they would be pretty sweet for $92 imo

I mean they're going to present way better than a wal-mart shoe in person (even without the logo) because the materials and construction are going to be much better, but it's still just "let's hijack design elements from some other sneakers and slap a prada label on it whoa have you heard of postmodernism?" in a way that feels really played out

idk i think that design looks pretty unique to me even if i recognize elements of it from other places

i also like these new pyer moss reeboks

for similar reasons

prada has been making ugly black sneakers since the mid-90s iirc

if i had £125 and didn't already have a bunch of trainers under my bed i would snap these up

those Prada things though... maybe it's the combination of those + awkward trouser leg hem and black socks, but yeeesh

those are the worst shoes ever posted to this thread and that's saying something

ye does it again!!

Nodules filled with liberal tears.

which would've been cooler!

str8 eldritch horror kix

the more I see them, the more it's growing on me

that's a sign that it has released its tendrils into the soles of your feet, seek immediate help

Are these bearable? I have high arches, supinate badly, and need an athletic shoe that doesn't look like the 80s vomited on it. But all sneakers look basically awful to me so I can't tell.

Also I can't believe how much it costs for $.05 worth of nylon mesh and a few ounces of molded plastic.

they’re fine imo

They seem fine. The little rainbow bar is a little bit random but it's not very intrusive. I am a fan of asics for running, I think they make good value running shoes (as someone who is only a casual runner, can't speak to the high performance crowd). I have Asics trail running shoes and they are kind of ugly but I don't really care. Some Asics are nicer but these were like $55.

They look ideal for convalescent home / psych ward staff

I went to a specialized running shoe store and talked with v knowledgeable staff, tried their recs and ended up in a pair of asics which are serving me just fine; my issue is cranky knee that needs some cushion for rehabbing purposes.

But yeah why this stuff cost so much?

hmm, they don’t seem especially high end but look like a good classic shoe

That style is 35 years old
What are people admiring here? The mustard color choice?
