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?

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

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

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

90s boomer runner is an extremely potent aesthetic, new balance, saab, salmon...

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
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:16 (three years ago) link
but doughy does work! xp

thanks for the rec trace, I actually like the look of that pair! but I’m more of a black and grey guy, idk, maybe I will branch out some. I need to go to a shoe store and talk to a shoe guy and have him look at my feet (in a normal way!) and say “here’s your problem, pal” bc my feet are definitely very weirdly shaped and I’ve only started running recently

anyways i went on down to the shoe store and talked to some guys and bought the suacony ride 14 which is not a very cool or pretty shoe but man does it feel good in stride. was told it was a good for beginners type jack of all trades running shoe and so this is what i wear now! love shoes!

i also like it but someone itt called out my crayon barf nikes in the past.
i'm super happy with metcon 7s for a gym shoe, they are extremely comfortable and solidly built. they also look much better than the metcon 6, which were ugly af.

you could try trail running shoes. they're a little better looking but not much.
