sneakers are terrible is my general opinion and the past fifty years of marketing that's convinced men of all ages to throw away billions of dollars on an ostensibly functional item that often no longer even wears properly is fucking evil

I'm a fan of the dad sneaker look, but I'm getting old enough that they're just going to look like dad sneakers on me.

i'm fine with occasional bullshit in people's clothing choices but collecting sneakers is basic as fuck

i'm pretty sure I've owned at least one pair of vans and one of chuck taylors continuously since 1987
― joygoat, Monday, 14 June 2021 16:44 (three years ago) link
i never wear vans out and about because i feel like it pushes me over the line to 'washed up skateboard dad trying too hard' but they're the best shoes on spikey platform bike pedals
― joygoat, Monday, 14 June 2021 16:47 (three years ago) link
I like the combo of the dark brown (gum) with the red on the ones I posted aboveCan’t find them online though , anyone have suggestions ?
― calstars, Monday, 14 June 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
if you can eliminate the trying too hard part its a great look

not sure if those are the exact ones, that red is rose wood but the ones you posted might be apple butter
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 June 2021 17:04 (three years ago) link
OR they might just look like apple butter in the photo cause there doesnt seem to be apple butter with the gum soles, or they could be another color idk
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 June 2021 17:05 (three years ago) link
i think those are them tho

NB 990: Classic or Dad? Or douche?
Also, is 990 THEE classic? Or do other 99x count. Or is there a non-99x that is also classic?
― cerebral halsey (rip van wanko), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:16 (three years ago) link
I for one love the styling. Love the feel. But they really have an arrogant boomer thing about them. Extremely white-guy. Nevertheless lately I've been tempted to get a pair, haven't had a 99x in about 15 yrs.
Also, do they have to be grey
― cerebral halsey (rip van wanko), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:20 (three years ago) link
i had a pair but they were hand me downs. i wore them for a few months anyway, until a hole appeared at the bottom. i hated them and myself the entire time
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:32 (three years ago) link
i notoriously have no shoe style, though. i prefer bare feet, and i think 99.99999999999% of every runners shoe of all time is ugly
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:33 (three years ago) link
they all have "speed holes"

the 990 is def the "one that started it all" i kinda like the later ones tho with the smaller N 997, 998 etc

it's not just sports shoes. the entire shoe genre and classification is centuries beyond ruin. i have a feeling the shoe scene in 240K BC was better

if the main goals are just to protect the foot and look fashionable, it seems like there should be sooooooooo many other options
