10 year palewave throwback editionold: >>18144524
This is a sneaker
>>18171678FOR NEEEERDS
Is this shoe too girly?
Cop or not?
>>18172233All black minimalist sneakers look like the school uniform shoes that I used to wear when I was a kid. So I can never see them as anything else.
>>18172247The sole makes them look weird. Like with those Frankenstein dress shoes that have the soles of a sneaker. Sneakers with heels like regular dress shoes or boots look weird.
>>18171678>>18172233>>18172267If you're going for an all black shoe than get some proper boots, something like gripfasts, solovairs or even timbs, I'm not a fan of trainers in the slightest so I would heavily recommend getting boots instead because the materiel will look the best for a black shoe
>>18172294I have picrel boots but I want something I can wear with shorts
>>18172233>>18172267Fair pointsGood thing they weren't in stock
is this cop?
>>18172233i got a pair of AF1 black mids years ago and i hate themi wish i got either lows or highs
>>18172281I FUCKING HATE SEEING THIS SHIT. PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO PURCHASE THESE AND ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS
>>18172330I saw some 80s boxing shoes on ebay a while ago in my size, i was tempted to get them
>>18172391What you don't like Oxford like objects glued onto an athletic shoe sole?Its basically peak fashion.
Grey 990v6 still the undisputed king
need an inspector gadget /fa/ggot to ID these please.
>>18172643Skechers
>>18172410I prefer the 990v4. I dislike the plastic on the v5s and the v6s are too soft, the midsole is very clunky and too big desu.
Thoughts on these? I already own gray v4s, I don’t really like how light they are so I’m looking for darker warmer colors. I find that gray NBs are surprisingly hard to wear despite people saying otherwise. This camo seems nice, I haven’t really seen any adidas or other sneakers use it.
>>18172931Nevermind, just found out that the v6's are shit and lots of people report that they fall apart and chip away unlike v1-v5.
Which Spezials do you think are the best choice: light blue, preloved green, or black?
>>18171828>Not a single hint of soul or angles in these Salomon.Yes, they're for girls
>>18172643Sketchers Slip-Ins Eden LX Strando, but scuffed up to give some sovl.
Thinking of getting something like this for pairing with earth tone bottoms and/or tops (tan, brown, etc.). Big mistake?
>>18173153Nah vans are timeless. Doesn’t matter what subculture or lifestyle you explore, at least someone in it enjoys vans. Truly the Honda Civic of the shoe world.
>>18173225>>18173153Idk if I'd say Vans were timeless. I always associate them with teens, young girls, and emo or weird kids. They look kind of feminine to me idk why.
>>18173235It’s not our fault you only think about teens, young girls and kids. Go wear your common projects, pedo.
>>18172681ask and you shall receive
>>18173263You are projecting. Seek professional help before you cause harm. I don’t like common projects either and I associate them with a similar group but also redditors and old business guys who don’t know how to wear sneakers.
>>18171678Common Project simps in shambles
>>18171678get some derby shoes at this point man>>18171828they're cool>>18173153you might also try looking at a pair of knu skools, they're really nice
>>18173290>muh projection comebackIn your defense I never took you as a smart man
>>18173358>skoolsDon’t mention this to the pedo.>>18173406You have no retort because you know you are a projecting pedo. I accept your concession.
its funny how its impossible to find mexico 66 and newbalance 990s in this shithole of a balkan country
>>18173694I hate when a big company just refuses to ship to your countryI can go to some janky ass webshop I found on lyst and order any clothes to every country on earth from Timbuktu to Uganda, but Adidas or Onitsuka Tiger just can’t ship to an EU member. You just know it’s because some out of touch 75 year old manager just thinks your country is too poor for their 100 dollar shoe. I could get it shipped it free to a neighboring country, but not mine. Thanks
>>18173726They want you to buy them from your local retailers (anywhere in the country) and pay the markup due to taxes, rent and other overheads. If they start shipping online, who's going to visit their fancy stores and grace themselves with the "experience" of shopping at a megacrop's store?
>>18173726>>18173755well thats the thing, we dont have these fancy megacorp stores here in the balkansall the good stuff that you see people mentioning like nice onitsuka mexico 66 in specific color for summer does not exist here, there all kinds of other shitty , still expensive, but simply inferior color palette and style here but not the ones that stylish people wantor for example nb 990s not even heard of here in this shitholeits all about nike and adidas if you go past the normie disgustinc core and want actually some hiqh iq choice its simply not therei think its because we are all mongrels here or they treat us like that which i agree to some degree but there are still people with some style and class here as well why do I have to fly to switzerland just to buy a entry level automatic watch (500 euros which is ridiculously low) this is sad man, feeling like a second class human
>>18173782As an other eastern european I just use other retailers like footlocker, bstn, end, coggles, mr porter etc, there are dozens of them, and often have sales so it’s not so bad. Onitsuka tigers specifically were ones that I could not get anywhere besides very shady ebay listings, so I gave up on them and just bought some sambas
>>18173782Which country are you from?
>>18173835the most based one in the grand scheme of things
>>18173782You don't need these mainstream international brands. At this point it's all cheap chineseium trash. You're mostly paying the huge sum for the brand name, not because the quality of the product warrants it. All these megacorp brands have stopped innovating long ago and are simply riding the coattails of their past success. Don't feed these greedy fucks any more. Instead, just buy copies or better models from other brands online, most of which ship internationally and offer products at much lower prices. Most of the times they're manufactured in the same factories as these international brands. The only difference is the label that gets slapped on them.
>>18173852it is the truth and I agree with you 100%but there is also a reality where I want to have that brand and want to get noticed by people (maybe girl) who are into fashion and can recognize that so I immediately signal that I am not just another clueless imbecile with expensive nike but with more fashionable subtle brandits like a secret sign language that people who are into fashion speak, and notice in the streets or at gatheringsbut isnt what is fashion about in the end? a closed circle of people who are into it?of course u can have a clueless imbecile wearing expensive flashy shit, but I am talking about actual subtle high fashion stuff with no labels
>>18173852Yeah no shitI’d rather wear an wffay shoe than some incel brand from “good materials”
>>18173852New Balance and Adidas are still pretty well made imo and also completely inoffensive. Nike, Reebok, ASICS, Onitsuka Tiger are pretty poorly made.
Do you guys think you can style the nimbus 26 with jeans? Do you like this guys fit ? What would you change ?
Got a pair of black and white AF1s a few months ago and im obsessed with them. They look cool, bring me from 6ft to like 6ft 2 and theyre way more comfortable than the vans i was wearing before. My second pair(all white) are on their way now. That is all
>>18174358It still looks feminine, as all oxford style lacing does on sneakers. That’s okay but it’s also why it’s not as popular or current as something like converse sneakers and they’ll look better with certain silhouettes. Timeless means nothing if you aren’t wearing them with the appropriate style of clothing. Also, the associations are more with the fact they are vans and have the vans stripe down the side. If they were in a classic ecru or navy and some other brand like Doek or Anatomica, they wouldn’t have the same childish/emo associations to me.
>>18174402Timeless is a meme and means nothing. Timeless items can still look shit and carry negative associations, look at waxed Barbour jackets lmao.
Anybody looking to cop a pair of the Vans Undercover collection coming out soon?
What do we think boyos?
>>18175507Sure, looks good>>18175456>vansI’m an adult, I wear Ricks
>>18172299it doesnt need to be black.
>>18172704v3>v6>v1>v4>v5>v2Definitive
Are we copping the Jordan 4 RM?
>>18172233What is the go-to black minimalist sneaker?
>>18175893maybe if v6 soles didn't chip>redditor's shoes 1.5 weeks>very widespread issue (all pairs?)>>18175917>black>minimalist>leatherpick 2 otherwise it doesn't work.black canvas + minimalist. any triple black canvas sneaker really. my fave would be triple black jack purcells from converse japan (don't buy them from nike/international converse they are shitttttttt ever since 2012)black + leather works if there's panels like a logo or something on the side to add visual depth and perfs on the toe. af1's probably the go-to.
for smooth leather the af1 is a good barometer to use as its right on the line of if-it-was-any-more-minimal-it-would-look-bad. if the leather tumbled, textured or embossed with a larger pattern you can make a slightly wee bit more minimal of an upper work. its the only way to make logo-less minimal black sneakers work.oh one more way to avoid all these problems to begin with: white outsole and just not getting murdered out full black.the sneakers i posted are resolable so one day i'll put a white margom sole on them and actually wear them.
>>18175919>>18175917Sorry forgot to mention I was not looking an all triple black minimalist sneaker, previous anon mention triple black does not look good unless different sole colors and was wondering what does look good?
>>18175507Yes
>>18173146Thanks man. I appreciate it.
what cool sneakers should a young man such as myself who recently somehow got a 9/10 gf buy for the rest of the summer as i spend more time with her
>>18176365how should i know dude. i'm a damn incelanyway i was thinking of getting a pair of NB550, not sure which colorway, so i would say avoid those because we are clearly on different paths
What I give for a new pair in size 11.
>>18171672Impulse bought these black airmax 95 ultras for $5 at a thrift store. How do I style them lol? Also what makes them "ultra" compared to standard 95s
Are the Mexico 66 autism shoes? No one in my country wears onitsuka but I want something different.
>>18176365Does your 9/10 gf like negro men and negro culture? If yes, then buy some nigger shoes, like chunky running shoes, or AF1 or high top Converse. If she's a racist who doesn't appreciate negro culture, then buy a regular pair of white guy shoes like New Balance, or minimalist low top leather or canvas sneakers. Canvas is an especially good choice for summers. They're light and breathable.
>>18176404I don't like them but green are iconic, so that's an easy choice.
Cop these ASICS? GT-2160
>>18171672Each and every dirty lowdown reprehensible kike needs to be dragged into the street and burned to death. Filthy kikes, tkd
>>18177308agreed
>>18171672what are the most comfortable casual sneakers/shoes that aren't made for training/gym/running. I know sneakers are technically made for sports but you know what I mean.Sambas and converse are killing my feet
>>18177303I like this but if you're going for this aesthetic just go for gel kayano 14 and be done with it
>>18177401I’m actually leaning towards this nimbus 9, I like the silver and it’s like half off
>>18177410
>>18177413running shoes, I don't see anyone using that for fashion alone, they also look very sportsy.They're nice, but not what I'm looking for.
>>18177308what kind of sneakers do dirty lowdown reprehensible kikes wear?
looking for brands that don't support lgbt, any suggestions
>>18177439asian brands that aren't western facing don't take dei money and they have no reason to market to fags or niggers because it would turn away their customer base.the ones who sell stuff here in usa/europe are more of a mixed bag. some use niggers and faggot models some don't want that image because the dei money isn't worth the lost sales in asia. i like converse japan ( https://converse.co.jp/ ) the japanese government didn't allow them to be bought out by nike and allowed old converse to keep operating independently and hold the trademark in japan. totally independent company that has nothing to do with the converse we get. its the quality and styled like they used to be in the 1990's if you're a millenial. except a bit better they updated the midsole tech in a lot of the shoes so they have chuck ii comfort levels. also they have a premium line with vibram outsoles that fucking own. asian brands:tend to run wide but not alwaysyen is tanked right now so even with shipping & fees its cheapother than china they tend to keep their best products domestic and only export the crap.non-jap countries like korea indonesia etc are more likely to ship international without needing to proxy
>>18177439oh and also if its specifically just lgbt marketing you don't want there's a bunch of western brands like uhhh pf flyers who's customer base is a combination of old white guys and niggers, both of which are demographics that don't like fags, so they tend not to market to them. for whatever reason basically every old white guy sneaker brand is also beloved by and market to nigs though. everything that doesn't is pretty redditcore or full on old timey reproduction stuff.
third option:just get some derbies, loafers, ranger mocs, camp mocs, boat shoes etc.
>>18177451I'm taking notes but what brands do you suggest
>>18177454thank you
I've been wearing size 11 for years. I just got a new pair of size 11's and they fit as well as I could expect.When I measure my foot it's about 10.5 inches, maybe 11 with sock+buffer. According to the manufacturers I should be wearing like a size 10 or lower, but that would destroy my feet.Is this all just because I have a marginally wide foot? I don't even have much of a gap between my big toe and the front of the shoe. Please resolve my confusion before I start buying more expensive shoes.Also basketball shoe recommendations, pl0x.
>>18177439I suggest you quit being a lame bigot.
>>18172296What’s the sizing on those like?
>>18177511foot length is not the same thing as shoe size. shoe sizes do not increase proportionately, incrementally in inches.
>>18177399>comfortable casual sneakers/shoes that aren't made for training/gym/runningMaybe some Yeezys? 700v1 are pretty comfy.
>>18177511I don't know why they would recommend 10 or less, I measure my feet like picrel, because I live and breathe. I got wide feet with a high instep. Uptempos fit me like a glove (partly to the fact you don't have to lace them), and I'm happy with my high Air Forces.
>>18177511this video answers all your questions and shows you how to trace your foot and use online product photos to see exactly how your shoes will fit before you buy them. you'll already know the stuff at the start of the video and you won't already know the rest -- don't click off:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqn8k3tVl6calso stop using us / eu sizing its not consistent across brands. start using the jp/cm sizing it is consistent across all brands its the literal centimeters of the shoe.and if you follow the foot doctor zach video you will always know when you need to size up for width.
disclaimer: the video i linked doesn't tell you if your foot is too VOLUMOUS for the upper of shoe or not, if you have big feet. but it will tell you if your foot fits on top of the last or not and what size to buy. which is crucial for narrow and wide foot mfs.
>>18177566start using jp/cm sizing then there's no "runs big" or "runs small" ignoring us/uk sizing is the best thing i ever did for my feet and wallet. and watching that youtube nigger i shilled a sec ago.
>>18177456give me an idea of your style otherwise i'm just pissing in the dark.fwiw i'm currently f5ing every day hoping for a pair of catch ball military standards or czech trainers in a good color to be in stock in my size. they're cheap and there's a retailer in korea that ships global for 15bux.
>>18177399honestly just get anything that has an actual midsole
>>18177399adidas did a bunch of their classic silhouettes like superstars and such with hidden boost midsoles as collabs with parley a while ago. probably one of the more comfy shoes you will find that doesn't look like a running shoe.
>>18177399Walk more, lose weight, get stronger. People were fine without chunky midsoles for 100s of years lmao. Just get a pair of new balance 990s or whatever if you need comfortable, they're normal enough to pass as a lifestyle sneaker.
>>18171672I have common projects and they destroy my heel. I don't understand how out of the hundreds shoes i have bought my entire life, why are my most expensive shoes the most uncomfortable? Anyone has tips? Softening the leather in water or something?
>>18177862No tips but lol, how expensive shoes are doesn't mean anything about how comfortable they are. Everyone has a different foot shape and sneakers are made to different lasts. If you want comfort, then you buy from a brand like New Balance who actually will make design choices based on ergonomics. You'd be better off with a dress shoe like a loafer over a minimal meme sneaker any day.
>>18177874Yeah i know lol, i usually wear sneakers from "established" brands and they are all fine on my feet. It's just that i once bought an "expensive" sneaker and it's shit on my foot. They are already a couple years old that i never wear because they are so uncomfortable, i just wanted to update my wardrobe and wear more "mature" clothing because i have a job and shit.
>>18172267Or, you look like you're headed to your shift at the fast-food joint.
>>18177511>Also basketball shoe recommendations, pl0x.For playing or fashion? If you want something for fashion, just get whatever 80's/90's Jordan re-release. For playing, the Adidas Harden Vol. 7/8, Lebron 21, GT Jump 2. China has some good brands like Serious Player Only and Way of Wade.
>>18177812My favorite shoes to go out are club c 85, converse and rebook classic leather.
>>18177511>When I measure my foot it's about 10.5 inches, maybe 11 with sock+buffer. According to the manufacturers I should be wearing like a size 10 or lower, but that would destroy my feet.Men's casual sneakers are vanity sized, they are smaller then the tagged size so men don't feel bad about having small feet
>>18177885>, i just wanted to update my wardrobe and wear more "mature" clothing because i have a job and shit.And you bought common projects and skinny stretch chinos?lol
>>18178331For example on a brannock device (that metal thing they measure your feet with at the store) my feet are a true size 8. But i usually have to buy size 9 or even 9 1/2 narrow sneakers to get a good fit.
>>18178047Playing on rough asphalt. Everyone says Way of Wade All City but they don't really sell in my country (Canuckistan) and I don't want to pay import fees.Currently playing in UA Jet 23's (size 11) because I got them on a deep sale so I don't care about destroying them on asphalt.I should probably be asking on /fit/ I dunno. It doesn't matter. Enjoying my Jet 23's for now. I was just confused if I'm an "real" size 11 or not despite both my New Balance and now these UAs both being size 11. You know, in case I order some $200 shoes online from like Li-Ning.The lack of domestically available shoes in Canada is embarrassing. What a shit hole.
>>18177436New Balance 574
>>18178400I dunno about UAs but IME NBs run pretty small so you might actually need to size down
>>18176365Just ask her duh
>>18177439No company is allowed to sell to the west directly if they are not globohomo
>realy like the jordan 4 rm>zero hype, everyone is calling them trash>now I am not allowed to wear themShit
some 3s fo today
I don't know what shoes to wear this summer, taking a trip to France and ItalyI think my stan smiths will get my feet too hot
>>18177439There are none. Which is why you buy leather boots from your local shoemaker.
is the club c 85 still cool or played out?feel like i never saw as many people wearing it when it was a bigger memeshoe a couple years ago as say, panda dunks or AF1s or forums or sambas today. i'm looking at a decent deal on some right now and considering.
>>18179482That's the best time to wear something. Go against the grain, anon. Be a rebel.
>>18180114I second this, it's worked wonders for me.
>>18180114>>18180151Only works if you are attractive
>>18180154Is this attractive?
>>18180158Why do you look so puffy? Can't you go on a diet?
>another year of buying more sneakers just to pair them with the exact same jeans + puffer outfit every daywhy is it so much easier to find nice sneakers than alternatives to north face shit? pretty sure ive got more shoes than t shirts or boxers at this point
>>18180233yea quality wise i dont doubt that theyre all way better, but half of these would make me look like im going hiking, and the other half are 500 quid or more. the jacket might be basic as shit, but i got it for only 200 and at the very least its somewhat stylish enough to let me blend in with the other guys in my uni
>>18180245>but half of these would make me look like im going hikingget a kuiu or stone island they are both much bigger flexes than north face and much better looking. >and the other half are 500 quid or moreyou get what you pay for. those jackets have like $300-$800++ in down in them if you were to buy the raw material in bulk at wholesale prices. your jacket has like $20-30 of the lowest grade down in it and its dressed up to look like something its not. if you live in a cold area it just does not perform.if you live in a cold area buying a good warm jacket is like, common sense. nobody rocks tnf here because i have incliment weather. i see the brands i linked way more. mostly montbell, patagucci and some other synthetic ones i didnt link. >let me blend in with the other guys in my uniif you want to be a npc that blends into the background get tnfif you want to get pussy get stone island or tnf purple label or monclerthose are huge flexes on a uni campus and everyone will know what they are from a mile awayits that simple
not saying $200 isnt bad tnf is a good balance between looking good and being accessible.but you said youre wasting money on sneakers you dont need and that theres no better option than tnf.theres a shitload of way better options maybe buy less sneakers you dont need this year and get a jacket. if you live in a northern climate its a basic part of being an adult to have a warm winter jacket and a high quality shell to go with it.
>>18180227>alternatives to north face shit?>>18180245>half of these would make me look like im going hikingTimberland, Helly Hansen, Levis, Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Kappa, etc. got stuff that is more on the streetwear side, and of course, if you don't want to go Moncler, Stone Island, etc., there are always H&M, Zara, etc. Just get on streetwear shops and you'll find plenty. Or ebay, you'll find barely worn Adidas down coats for 80 bucks, if you scroll through the shops to the private sellers. Captcha: DRIP
>>18180227Canade goose is you are a rich boomerArcteryx if you are rich nerdStick to north face
