ILStyle SNEAKER/TRAINERS THREAD for sleep and vahid et al

i just got a pair of custom vans (slip-ons), courtesy of phil. while it was hard to pass up the chance to create a hybrid skull 'n crossbones/checkerboard masterpiece, i went with a very tasteful dark grey and black color-block theme.

I want

tom considers those to be sailor/boat shoes lauren. i however, <3 them. mine being burgundy with stripes of various colours.

lol vans slip-ons

WHEN I AM HUNGOEVER I CAN'T TIE LACES OKAY?

plus the girl in the shoe store flirted me into buying them.

diggin the tennis shoes, dell

i need a pair of sneakers/trainers that aren't giant looking and that i can wear with skirts and no socks or just those small thin socks. my pumas are too big looking for this purpose. maybe it is just that my feet are too big looking. also i am not gonna wear keds.

not intended as guidance in your quest, rrobyn...just more <3 posts

i need new sneaks really badly! i like super colorful ones though, and have not yet seen an interesting color combo in a style that's not too bulky.

the key to both you and rrrobyn's quests is the online converse all-star design tool

I still dunno why they don't just send you a coupon for insoles whenever you buy a pair though

i need more support than cons.

who wares sneakers in the summer it is too hot !

well i also need summery sandals or something, but this is the sneakers thread!

it should be suspended until the fall!

^^ yeah me too :/
xpost to tza
i srsly never wear sneakers in teh summer either! but i am wearing a pair today b/c it is kinda rainy and not so cold
i found a pair of girly looking dc shoes online but they are white and tho they look great i will destroy their whiteness with bike grease pretty quickly. and yet, want.

most of my guy friends wear sneakers throughout summer tho

No no, jho, I need sneaks for standing around many hours at tailgate parties, and possib having feet stepped on at shows and games and stuff, plus jumping, climbing slippery bleachers, etc. Sandals or f-flops will not do.

jhoshie arent you the guy who wanted moccassins because you were too cool for flip flops

But I mean I'm just going to buy another pair of Chucks anyway so who cares.

sneakers are too hot??

wtf do you people wear, then? a mesh bag over each foot with sandpaper glued to the bottom?

slip-ons bro

slip-ons bros, slip ons

they will fulfill all yr sneaker needs while allowing non-sock cool breeze behavior

well ive been wearing flipflops like crazy & i no longer feel the need for these extraneous slip-ons' you speak of

btw dells first pair of sneaks look great to me, what are those/what do they cost?

xposta
That makes sense; it's nice not to wear socks during the summer. Actually, I don't even own any sneakers, so who am I to opine here, anyhow? I just glue corkboard to my feet before going outside.

deeznuts, they are table tennis sneakers made by I think Butterfly. They go for a mere $60 on the website that I stole the image from.

(there should be commas up there. it would be funny if the brand name were "I think Butterfly", though)

lol ping pong kicks

hell yeah!

sez the man wearing old man slippers as we speak

i cannot believe deez, nuts is trying to sartorial zing on me

waht will he try next ¯\(°_o)/¯

what gives you all the sart-cred guy, the fact that ALL OF YR TSHIRTS ARE YELLOW???

i cant believe you almost conned me into buying those ridiculous footwarmers when my sandles are more than i need already

that thing just tickles me pink, that little man face thing

i cant believe you almost conned me into buying those ridiculous footwarmers when my sandles are more than i need already

haha, he's ilx's resident confidence artist-- DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN CALLED "jho"!!

im still loving my purple floral nike dunks..

LOL i hav no idea whats going on here but im laughing @ it

what little man face surm???

deez, he means this thing: ¯\(°_o)/¯

j, i just thought it was funny that d accused you of "conning" him into buying slipons

sneaker rorschach the new frontline in psychological study xp oh ok

yeah j i was just saying i almost bought those things when you started that thread about them now realize they are in fact USELESS to anyone w/ a solid pair of sandles

this is the style bord

flip flops, in addition to being more sensible, are also louder & prouder

you cannot ask for more from fashion

flip flops outside the house are a fucking crime and you deserve to have your ugly toes beat in with a ball peen hammer

ok you can wear them at the beach, too, or in transit thereto IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO.

how the hell are flip flops remotely sensible?

DNFTT

yeah i thought that even as typing

they can do no wrong

fuck you, stan smith

y

and i think those nike air max 90s are hideous.

i love those daria!
addidas are def not the most comfortable on my foot but they look so good...

shoe+album gifs a+

ok the colors on the blue adidas I got are absolutely perfect, but they don't look good on.. somehow the toe is too big and they look funny. :( have to return them and buy pumas as usual.

today, for a total of $84, i bought:

^^^amazon out of stock

want

those first ones are tight wilter

they are, but i'm a big sucker for hitops

hitops seem like the kind of shoes some people can pull off and others can't? i always feel like a clown or an 8 year old in them, but other people look rad

yea i know what you mean

Oj j0rdan, jealous – I think Sperry topsiders are the coolest but I r woman & don't think I could pull them off.

I wish I could find a good pair of Le Coq Sportifs.

I had some CRAZY fucking orange Pony sneakers w/the V thing on the side in Silver, weird ass square toe, white sole, velcro...that I got for $18! And they were the first thing my dog ate when I brought him home. (He has eaten, since then, two bras, and that's it. He got over it.)

Onitsuka Tigers are boss but I think the sole is made of cardboard. ow ow ow

The shoes phil-two posted Friday, June 20, 2008 6:46 PM remind me so much of these Balenciaga jokes:

THAT SHIT IS TERRIFYINK

http://concreteloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/beyoncecshoes.jpg

no, the price is terrifyink

although Beyonce rocks it - I think that jacket & jeans combo may be the only acceptable outfit possible with these heels. sorry to threadjack but someone buy Jay-z the men's sneaks posted above!

WOW

i bought my 2 y/o her first adidas the other day. so proud.

yaay! i really want another pair of my white addidas, as all the rain this summer and consequent grimy bikeriding have kinda trashed them, esp as they have a suede part (blargh! i like texture but suede gets so freakin dirty and is hard to clean.) i wish they made them in teal. and kelly green.

http://www.formatshop.no/resampler.aspx?type=display&src=6135.jpg

wearing these lately, tho mine have a slightly pointier toe...love them but need a new pair cos they're grubby, more compliments for these than any other pair of shoes i've had.

http://svr3.offspring.co.uk/images/shoes/large/21649116_b1.jpg

oh i found a pic of my actual ones...love these

are these stan smith's?

Yo guys don't judge or nothin' but seriously where can a dude find some veg. shoes that weren't made by slave children that don't suck?

veja? - (http://www.veja.fr/) - these are kinda dope:

http://www.inhabitat.com/wp-content/uploads/veja1.jpg

Those are damn nice, nearest seller is 1000 miles away tho.

Maybe I'll fly down to LA to buy shoes and be Discovered.

I might have given in and said fuck the kids at least the cows are okay wrt these Sauconys, but they only come in black on black and this eyesore shit:
