big feet editionprev. >>18083952
We had questions about sneakers for wide feet few threads ago. I got Air Forces for myself, and I noticed the soles take quite some room, so I’m going to replace them with flat standard ones.
>>18109592Like this.
Finally but the bullet and got myself a pair
>>18109592as someone with wide feet, i find my air forces to be pretty roomy after removing the insole (as i do with all my shoes). you don't need to replace it if you need more room.
>>18109711I'm pretty Princess-and-the-pea, but good to know that works, too, thanks!
>>18109584What are sneakers made in US, EU, Japan? I recently learned of these nippon sneakers and might buy a pair
>>18109779why? they just look like chucks just buy chucks if you buy those people will think you are too poor to buy even $30 chucks and you will have spent like 4X the money to look poormakes no sense bro
>>18109592heres my wide sizing shoes pasta!! BE AWARE MANY SHOES ADVERTISED AS WIDE SIZE ONLY HAVE A LARGER UPPER, THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY WIDE, THE LAST IS THE SAME AS THE NARROW/NORMAL SIZES!!>new balance (only the $200 flagship made in usa models)>some sketchers>some vans (online only)>some hiking shoes like altras, keens, etc>running shoes>orthodic dadshoes meant for morbidly obese people. the biggest company making them is headquartered next door to the doctor from my 600lb life.
>>18109866chucks retail for 65 and chuck 70s for 75.shoes like pottery/moonstar is significantly higher quality. the canvas is much thicker. the vulcanization is much better. the tape doesn't delaminate from the upper like on chucks. they will age better, last longer, and you will get more wears out of them. for the tiny price difference its a no brainer. chuck taylor sells a similar quality shoe called converse addict. it costs more than shoes like pottery. >but it looks somewhat similar>with none of the substance behind itpure poorfaggery. its like renting rims.
>>18109869Nice, thanks!>ONLY HAVE A LARGER UPPERThat goes a long way. For wider soles, a good rule of thumb is that most sneakers with higher soles got them, like Air Forces, Uptempos, Fila Disruptors, etc.
>>18109779New Balance's 990 line is probably the most famous example, but there's also Victory Sportswear, San Antonio Shoes and select Sperrys as well
>>18109779Pretty sure almost all “common proejects alternative” shoes are made in Europe/USA
How did i do?
>>18110104Yeah, nice.
I like these, they're pretty cool
>>18110281I like them too
>Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 SD>€ 210,00The H*CK is wrong with those prices?
what are some sneakers for manlets
>>18110768get a job
>>18110768They know weebs will pay for it
>>18109639They look less stiff than sambas.
should I cop this pieces of shit
>>18109876>shoes like pottery/moonstar is significantly higher quality. the canvas is much thicker. the vulcanization is much better. the tape doesn't delaminate from the upper like on chucks. they will age better, last longer, and you will get more wears out of them. for the tiny price difference its a no brainer. chuck taylor sells a similar quality shoe called converse addict. it costs more than shoes like pottery.i actually own moonstar shit and the quality is mid as fuck bro what are you on
>>18111081Kinda hard to pull off, but if you do, they're something.
why are $1000 sneakers worn by poorly dressed chinese and most of are untouched in a vault.
>>18111281>poorly dressed chineseThey probably dress better than you, you just never heard of CDG or Junya Watanabe
Why are NB 550's so popular
>>18111988They arent, it’s not 2022 anymore
>>18111992Yes, they are. Stop being such a dumb chud.
>>18110281I owned a pair two years ago. Quality control can be a little iffy but I loved mine. Ended up getting the Muslin Pink Foam 97s after.
>>18109779nice chucks
i literally cannot afford to buy shoesHow are those $130? Gazelles are even more expensiveAnd literally nothing's ever on saleWomen's equivalent costs $90?? I could maybe pay like $100 but this is retarded, and it's not just these two, you literally cannot buy anything for $100 except shit like pumas and some failed color style poverty versions on sale
>>18112019Uh yes you can, just smoke less cigarettes and mcdonalds for a week, even if you make a 30k a year it should he fineOr if you are a third worlder then walk down to the nearest market and buy the same shoe for five pesos
>>18112025im europoor but that's no relevantI don't work, I'm a student and I _have_ the money it's just outside of my budgetI can buy so much shit for $130 that i cannot justify it. If i could wear them for more than a year before they disintegrate I'd maybe reconsider, but holy fucki checked and air force 1s wet up $30 since 2020
>>18112032>budgetWhats the point of saving up? Everything you put under your pillow has inflated to worthlessnessAnd what are you saving up for anyway? You’ll never own your own house
>>18112033i'm saving up so i dont have to get a job to buy shit when i need to buy something
>>18112041You’ll breakYou’ll be wearing Ricks to school a year from now I guarantee
>>18112046there is no force in this universe stronger than my unwillingness to work
stockx sometimes has reasonable offers but they charge $30+ for shipping + fees
>>18112019>>18112032just go on online retailers like zalando when it's the sales season, you'll find something decent for 50-70.
>>18112089Lyst and about you are also great places to find deals
>>18111998NTA but theyre definitely not, they’re incredibly normie. Theyre even more played out than dunks/jordans, some dunks you can still use, 550s youll be laughed at your back. DO NOT use 550s in 2024.
>>18112307What are the best newbies right now
>>18112307You're exaggerating, retard. The vast majority of people besides sneakerhead blacks are going to even know what a 550 is
Posted in last bread about getting air force 1s. Got a pair in black an white and love them. Thinking already of getting another pair to keep clean, should i cop these or nah?
>>18112374Those definitely look like a pair of sneakersso sure if the price is right
>>18112378>Those definitely look like a pair of sneakersI was asking for opinion anon ):<but they seem to be the going rate for AF1s in my shithole post-national state, $160 cad
>>18112380sorry for being facetious. But AF1's don't exactly have very much to talk about. They're just a pair of white sneakersThey look fine, $160 cad sounds a lot for a pair of those when regular ones without a tiny red checkmark are like $60 lessIf you want them and it's not an issue, then yeah you should probably get and I doubt you'd regret it, as they're not something you'd have trouble incorporating into most outfits you'll likely piece togetherhave funI like them
>>18112390Thanks anon, all is forgiven. I appreciate the well thought out response. Where do you live where AF1s are $100? US im guessing?
>>18112734>Where do you live where AF1s are $100? US im guessing?The unpopular colorways are always on sale somewhere, check on lyst for instance or any nike outletEven the triple whites get discounted sometimes
i'm starting to come to the conclusion that sneakers just suck ass and are a normie trap.i think i might finally buy a pair of boots and become one of those fags.>comically low quality materials is the norm>overpriced resellers ruin all the joy in the cool looking ones>wind up with like 30 pairs to go with various outfits because dork colors>fall apart fast when you wear them>not cheap anymore>seen as aspirational status symbols to chinese and indian immigrants>theres no difference in quality between a $30 one and a $30,000 one>associated with blacks, urban culture, basketball, rap, etc>SPORTS>inherently childish looking>nobody takes you serious while wearing them>women see them as virginalam i wrong about sneakers? i don't think so...my collection feels like a wall of shame right now...
>Hypebeasts & sneakercon attendees are indistinguishable from this guyits time for me to hang up my shoelaces sneakersisters...
>>18112374>>18112380my mom used to pay like $30-60 for them they're not really worth more than thataf1s that arent the triple whites are dork shoes even 3rd graders would bully you for the ones you posted when they came outlol its so funny that this is a 'popular' shoe now they're just cycling through the stuff they used to sell at pay less shoe source in the 90s and making them tiktok trends. bahahaha you kids were wearing sambas last year? and 550s? hahahaha
>>18112946Is this a copypasta?>resellers bloating prices>in 2024LmaoEverything is sitting
>>18112951>popular shoeNo it’s not, just this general has a lot of people projecting their tasteAF1s are great as a first “real” sneaker for autists who are afraid of standing out too much. It’s a safe option, easy to style etc
>>18109584For me it's the AJ4 - "Vietnam fucking shits"
>>18113036should be in all orange
>>18113036whys it got a ballsack on the tongue
>>18113054That’s the prophet muhammad, infidel
>>18112307>use shoesESL consoomer, begone.
How come nobody likes the reimagined 1s? I get that the sued ones look weird but, the yellow pair have really nice materials yet they’re in stock and on sale 3 months later
>>181123091906s were the shoe New Balance was pushing last year and the 1000 is the shoe for this year. If you wanna be on trend as backed by the labels, those are the shoes. however the 998, 990 and the 574 are all potential good, but not as "trendy" options

>>18109584Any recommendations for shoes that actually dont look big even in big sizes. I hate wearing big shoes even though my feet are big (size 12 US) because its highlighted by the fact that I'm only 5'7. Wasnt even an insecurity of mine until a friend made a joke about it once. I bought adidas ZX22s cuz someone posted them here once and they looked decent, but they are way too big and I will never wear them just for that reason. Help an anon out.
option 1
>>18114393option 2
option 3
>fucked up on the travis raffle and didn't get in it's fucking over
>>18114393>>18114394>>181143962 or 3 depending on what your wardrobe looks like. 2 is probably more versatile1 has the samba colorway which is weird and makes it look like a fake samba
>>18114398>When you missed out on the raffle for the ugly ass shoe with the retard strap
>>18114398Just buy the reps
>>18109584Just bought these can’t effing wait to get em.
>>18114472>>18114476resale is literally $1000 you'd be insane not to immediately offload itbut desu i would have rocked it if it didn't have that dogshit strap
>>18114480Nobody is actually buying it, it will drop to 400-500 like the sail version
lets fucking gooo
>>18114375>ZX 22Clearly, they got a massive sole with that extra length on the heels, they are designed to stand out. As for looks, you'd need something like Sambas, Stan Smiths, summer canvas sneakers, plimsoles, vans. But these fit differently, I don't know whether you also got wide feet. However, the soles and the shape are not the only factors for standing out, the colour is, too, e. g. white sneakers on a dark outfit.
>>18114393>>18114471>which is weird and makes it look like a fake sambaDisagreed, but yes, it's a different look, 80s/ 90s tennis shoey, how I see it. >>18114471>depending on what your wardrobe looks likeAgreed, wardrobe and fits you are going for. They all look nice.
>>18111988>>18111992>>18111998>>18112307>>18112315>>18113145I just found white 550s for $40 on clearance at Marshalls
>>18114644they look great bro.>>18114471>2 or 3 depending on what your wardrobe looks like.im warming up to 3.
>>18114394this one for sure
Got me some Air Max 90 off ebae, seem some rare collab, prolly worth a lot.
>>18114644You could prob sell those for like 100 bucks depending on the size. I tried finding some and most sizes are sold out everywhere
>find a sneaker I like>remember I am not a black man or a skinny girl, so I am not allowed to wear them
>>18114751Kek those are utter dogshit, Kappa's is an absolutely chalked brand
can anyone recommend white or off white sneakers with a larger toebox? even if I go a complete size up meme smiths still run tight. c 85s fit me pretty well, but i'm tired of them
left or right? im kinda leaning right..
>>18115312If you are tired of the c 85, I'm guessing similar ones like Air Force and Champion Rebound etc. are out as well?>>18115654Correct, I mean right.
>>18114961do americans really?
Does the black tip look retarded?
>>18115859Nah, these are good
>>18115859kind of
>>18115859>>18115891oh you mean on those shoes, then not
>>18115871>>18115893Nice, thank you.Kinda prefer the unicolor tip/sole but those are SDs and cost twice the price.
>>18115857Wear jordans to weddings? Yes they do
>>18115948that's a black, not an american
>>18115958>that’s not an american, that’s someone americans worship as saints
imagine paying for fake leather
>>18115680thanks for the suggestions. i actually never tried afs because they look kind of cartoony or blocky to me, but i see some that actually don't look too bad so maybe i'll give them a shot
>>18109584What happens if you rub leather conditioner or mink oil onto suede? Will it turn flat and eventually to more regular leather?Don't mind the blue being suede but would really prefer the black parts to be more regular learher
>>18116443No you can’t turn nubuck into full grain or top grain leather you’re best option is to blast it with waterproof spray coating
