i might cop these jordan 4 "fear" retros when they come out later this year editionold: >>18218637
Should I cop? Been waiting for a chocolate brown colorway on the gel nyc or NB 1906(ideally protection pack but I doubt they'll release them again). I'd have rather preferred it be more monochrome so I'm hesitating.
>>18269342I'm going to try and get those and the Black Cement 3's. There isn't anything else that interests me this year.

>>18269542Or this
>>18269342kindergarten ass shoes
>>18269468Super comfy if you have high feet
>>18269542Looks like the better shoe to me.
What are the most durable sneakers for under 500 bucks? Would I have to spend boot money to actually find a pair of durable sneakers (like closer to a grand or more)?
>>18269342Just went shopping for kicks after a long while, had a choice between AF1s, Sk8 His and Nike Airs. Chose the vans in gray and brown, did I do good?
>>18269468>>18269342look like absolute aids. dont buy this shit if ur over 14
>>18269544more versatile but a bit more boring. blue suede shoes stand out more but are a clearly more specialized piece and won't work with everything so make sure you actually have the wardrobe for it. i would go with the cream ones but i already have several pairs of shoes in or close to that shade.
>>18269468I gave in and consoomed. These are the last shoes I'll buy for some time.
recommendations for leather sneakers if i have wide feet bros? Here are some nice ones I've seen, but neither have a wide option :(https://thursdayboots.com/products/mens-premier-low-top-sneaker-arizona-adobehttps://olivercabell.com/products/low-1-pro-walnut

>>18274907Pretty basic, unless you get the all black colorway. Then you're trouble.

Cop?Y/N
Those basket ball nets are corny and stupid. Why does /fa/ have such bad taste?
>>18276558Because this board is filled with negrified chuds.
How old you do you think is too old to be wearing sneakers before it gives off "funko pop manchild" vibes?Of course every man should own a pair of trainers I mean as your day to day shoes.For me it started feeling really gay and man baby to wear sneakers after around 25-30.
>>1827656535, tops.
>>18276541
>>18276565Minimal leather sneakers can be worn at any age. But nobody over 30 should wear all these gaudy sports sneakers you see ITT.
>>18276620I have some triple black common projects. Everything else feels retarded and good morning saar tier would rather have some derbies/oxfords/loafers.
>>18274026oh my gyatt feels better than I thought really padded but looks so much like balenciaga ripoffs I'll probably never wear them
The best thing to drop all year.
I don't think I understand why people get so into sneakers and even remember specific colorways. I literally don't see what they are liking.
>>18276881So, made where?
>>18269729Bump
how would you style yellow onitsuka tiger?im a girl btw
Why haven't you niggers picked up on the next IT sneaker
>>18276931_
>>18276931
>>18276980Why do brands can't help themselves with excessive branding?
>>18276966this micro trend is so fucking funnyi can't even imagine how many used kill bill shoes are gonna flood the market in 3 months bitches can't style them worth shit
>>18276989Why not write that on the fucking package? Where is _? What is _ representing? I want to strangle the designer.
>>18269729>>18276940look for something with a resolable margom cupsole, a full leather midsole and a full grain leather upper. if it lacks the midsole you can sometimes rebuild it down the road during one of the resoles to have one. anything with a foam midsole has a low lifespan.they start at like 200 and go on up to over 1000 you're really just paying for design they all cap out on qual at like 200-300. i used to get them from brands like yohji yamamoto mainline and hender scheme. common projects shit like that. those kinds of brands. i typically expect like 5-10 years from ones i can't find soles to re-sole them with and about 15-30 on ones i can. assuming you take good care of the upper. some last longer than others i have some pretty old full leather cupsole sneakers consistently in regular rotation from 15yrs ago. occasionally sneaker brands do collabs or special editions that are around the same qual level.
hey bros, what are some shoes that look like these? https://crownnorthampton.com/en-us/products/harlestone-hand-stitch-derby-brown-horween-buffalo-leatherI really like the look, but I'm reading some pretty bad experiences just going through the archives a bit.>>17659621>>17659780>>17659790>>17659793I don't really want to pay $465 just to wait 3 months for them to ship and then have them fall apart in a year like any $100 shoe anyways. So now I'm just trying to find something that looks similar.
>>18277241bro just get a pair of derbies/loafers/mocs. i have a bunch of these """minimal sneakers""" and the only slightly wearable ones are full black and some brown ones. and you still feel like a dork in them.
>>18276980i wish they would reissue their mexico 66 equivalent
>>18277272>derbies/loafers/mocs.these all feel very overly formal though, plus I hate slip-ons. I'm looking for something I can wear everyday with jeans. At first I was just looking for anything that didn't look like some alien spaceships and also didn't have huge ass logos all over the shoes (like adidas, nike, vans, etc all have huge branding) and overall it seems like leather sneakers seem to fit the bill the most. I particularly liked those brown ones because of the color and texture, but otherwise I've been looking for black ones (either all black or black upper/white sole).
>>18277274I was thinking why I like these more than sl72s.
>>18276620Are those good sneakers? The boots have been criticized for being cheaply made, i.e. fake leather heel stacks.
>>18269468how does anyone wear this without getting their ass kicked?
are retro new balances still in vogue?
What are some effay sneakers that work with 90% of outfits
>>18277407Depends on the model. Feel like the 99x or 990 series aren't as hot as they once were, but with mesh Y2K sneakers being all the rage the 1906 and 740 are pretty popular as well as the NB1000 in a different way.>>18277433Stan Smiths, Chuck Taylors, AF1s, Penny Loafers, Sambas if they weren't so hype
>>18277499yeah I just wanted basics like the 515 or 574
>>18277322they would look cool with fatigues or something.>>18277515574/6 doesn't need to be in vogue its just a good shoe.>>18277289none of those are remotely formal they're all super casual shoes. some can be on the dressier side but you can find really casual examples of any and by default mocs are uber casual. minimalist sneakers run into formality issues where they're weird to wear with casual outfits but they're sneakers so its a joke to wear them with anything more than business casual. i really only feel like they work for the "smart casual" business casual look which in general i don't like maybe you do.
>>18277289if you do get some though brown & black with white sole are the best. all black third best. you can make them work in the right casual fits but they won't go with everything. all white does but its super super played out.
>>18273490Get the navy ones. They look way better than either and are much more versatile.
>>18277229Thank you Anon, I appreciate your help
>>18276569What about bottoms?
>>18275007>>18269468Welp it looks bad irl. Too many clashing browns and those white striped do ruin it.seems very comfy though. Sending them back.
>>18276999Because retarded consoooomers like it. They use these brand names to signal wealth to other poorfags who are also living beyond their means. Brands themselves like to do it in order to differentiate themselves from their competitors and market their brand name as much as possible. So if you wear products with visible branding on them, you're not only advertising their brand for free but even paid them to do it by buying their product. Meanwhile, celebrities (like sportsmen) with sponsorship deals receive the products for free AND get paid by the company to advertise their logos and peddle their wares to the masses.

>>18278417Just got this, same colorway a few days agothey look good with baggy pants but also dark pants in general. Not good with jeans I think.
Any brands still making quality sneakers that I can use as daily beaters? Anything I've bought in the past five years disintegrated in six months to a year.
>>18269542yes those are perfection
>>18282983They look like something an old Florida Jew would wear with a tracksuit. But, you do you.
>>18282926No shoe lasts if it's worn daily. The only difference with a sub 100$ sneaker and a sub 200$ is that the former lasts for max a year and the latter max 2 years. Buy two pairs and alternate and they'll last longer.
>>18283004Here's the thing: I had a pair of vans tgat lasted me about eight years. Same with another pair of new balances. The last pair of vans I bought are falling apart after two years and I only wear them in the summer. The last pair of Nikes I bought fell apart after six months.I might get another pair of nb 574 and hope for the best.
>>18283273It do be like that. They don't make them like they used to
>>18283273yeah new balances are still pretty good, ironically, especially the cheaper models with less fancy stitched on design elements and normal soles

>>18284594Bro, just go for them if you like them. They're fairly timeless for a Nike shoe and stand out without being garish.
how do i stop leather sneakers from coming apart? i crouch a lot at work and holes open up on the sidesshould i switch to synthetic shoes?
Going to try some of these minimalist shoes.
>>18269342I'm retarded, how snug should your toes be on your shoenew balance us 11s feel comfortable on my feet but everyone I asked told me this much space means the shoes are too big

>>18285863The cracks appear because the leather is getting dry. You could try to condition them with leather cream, but most leather sneakers are covered with plastic so the conditioner doesn't really gets to the leather.
>>18283782Those look sweet. I bet they'd look really good with black pants. >>18284594These are too narrow for my feet but they're cushy.
do common projects ever go on sale...
>>18287197gats nowhere near as comfortable. i need a sole similar to the gel lyte and wide toebox
>>18287481Check grailed. Not sure if it's still this way but you used to be able to get barely worn or never worn pairs on there for good prices.
>>18286969Those people are retarded. Don't listen to them. If anything it looks too small for your foot. Your little toe should be at the widest part of the shoe, while leaving at least an inch of wiggle room in the front. Most shoes aren't designed according to the natural shape of human feet. They instead want you to contort and crush your foot into the unnatural shape of the shoe. Fuck that.
>>18287655>inch of wiggle room in the front
>>18287709Yes. Your shoes aren't supposed to fit like a fucking glove, especially since they aren't shaped like your foot to begin with, unlike gloves that fit exactly around the contours of your fingers and hand.
>>18287774yes you need wiggle room and proper width, but whole inch at the front for casual shoes is insane (and let's not mix it with running shoes where different rules apply and you need a bigger size for reasons)
>>18287655>>18287774>>18287779should i just wear barefoot shoes then bros?i've been curious about them for a while but the ones i've seen all look horrible. Like hipster designs a 5 year old might like, or super wide that they look like clown shoes, or like cheap/generic walmart shoes despite costing $100+
saw these on aliexpress broshttps://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806074080027.htmlanyone know which shoe/brand they're trying to rip off? I like the look and the colors, but it looks like they have the china brand name embroidered on the back in an ugly red cursive font which is kinda cringe. what's the real version of this? or is there a way to find the actual source so I can buy them without the random brand name on them?
>>18288480 (Me)actually nvm, saw some reviews on another listing of the same shoes and they look absolutely disgusting in person kek. I'll just keep looking for some beige gats

I've recently become fixated on these Common Projects Track 80 in all black from a 2023 collection but unfortunately they're nowhere to be found online anymore. Does anyone perhaps know of any other sneaker that looks similar enough to it? Similar silhouette, materials and all?Thanks
>>18288319Don't go straight to barefoot shoes, because it will cause injuries due to the sudden transition to something your feet are not used to. Start by going barefoot at home as much as possible, so that your feet can gradually spread out into their natural shape after being crushed in regular shoes for years. But you don't need to get barefoot shoes either. You can get wide toed sneakers and boots these days if you look around. Try them out before going straight to barefoot shoes.
>>18290194That's no good. You definitely should go up a half size.
>>18290886apparently there's no half size up it only goes up 1,5 and that's literally not an availability issuehow is it tight despite being big enough to skip another size is beyond mei probably wont be able to size up because i bought them on sale and i can't afford to pay full price but they're not THAT nice i guess i'll just get another pair of c85 vintages like i have now or maybe nb574 but theyre not as universalwish c85 had wider toebox but whatevre

>>18293962https://www.onitsukatiger.com/us/en-us/end-of-salei guess they reopened official shipping to the US (it was gone for some time) but aren't producing shoes here anymore which explains the shipping and tax. also they don't have some of the larger sizes they used to have, to account for small japanese feet.
>>18294098also - it doesn't seem all of the models are available in the US, in all colors at least. i was looking for GSMs and they only have 5 colorways, there are far more than that, and they don't have any alternative models like the premium one, just the standard one.
I just got air max 200s. I didn’t realize but the heel on them is like 2 inches. I’m noticeably taller in them. Is this considered height frauding?

>>18297489What the actual fuck is that price

>>18297559how new
>>18297588Very. You think I'm gonna be hanging around a chatroom about shoes all day? nigga please
>>18297591>>18297559fvcking basedthese reddit circlejerkers need to be taught a lesson
>>18297559>babby just discovered high end sneakerslol the profit margin is actually a lot lower on those than on nike's and adidas. nobody buys common projects at full price.and the retail price was lower when they were popular with millenials.also the conventional advice on /fa/ and every other fashion forum was never buy them at full price, every month or two some stockist would have them 30% off.also there's a bunch of brands in italy making basically the same thing as achilles low out of the same leather from the same tannery without the name recognition for a lot less. >>18297563>it’s just a pair of white sneakerspretty much all white sneakers that are under $200 can hardly be considered made of "leather"they take what's called "splits" leather where its basically sawdust from the floor then they spray it in vinyl plastic.that's why the types of sneakers you're used to look bad when they crease its plastic not leather.real leather sneakers look good when they crease, and if cared for good leather will last you about a decade instead of a year or two and you don't have to baby them. unlike the chinsey plastic kiddy stuff nike sells. also the sole is sewn on instead of glued and can be replaced by a cobbler. the cupsole it uses is generic and easy to find replacements for. once you know common projects and high end designer leather sneakers exist you start seeing everything discussed in this thread as little kid shoes & a rip off for suckers and little boys who don't know any better.its a shame common projects are dorkshoes looking and most good looking real leather sneakers don't use generic soles making them less cost effective. eventually you grow up and buy a pair of derbies.
>>18297559>how to style>the two most generic to style colorways of the easiest to style sneaker that has ever been madewhere did you even find this kind of slop anon
>>18297559it costs around $120 to make a pair of common projects it costs like $28.50 on average to make a pair of nikes you're the one who's getting played like a sucker.
>>18297452that's freakin mean
>>18297559Why do all wenches these days make those cringy Disney faces?
>>18297533No clue, but I would bet my life af1 are more comfortable. Anything is more comfortable
ok so these >>18296013 came in today and they're pretty comfy and look kind of nice but i'm not sure i i'll keep them because they really dont go well with all that many thingsso this got me thinking:what kind of sneakers would you consider essential?my list is like>white sneakers>slim flat sole trainers>running shoes?so i might just keep them and get a new pair of white sneakerssuggestions? might just go for another pair of c85s
>>18299199depends on your age. over 30-35 the only sneakers that are essential is a pair of trainers and any specialized footwear required for sports you play. there really aren't any other sneakers that belong in an adult's wardrobe other than maybe a pair of canvas tennis shoes. you should be moved on from sneakers to shoes by that age.under 30 you always want to have one neutral color pair of daily beaters that goes with everything and you want to have a pair of sneakers that keeps rain out and one that breathes at minimum. >white sneakersmm gats on sale > beckett simonon gats > common projects clone type sneakers > premium/luxe stan smiths > othersimply because real leather > vinyl fake leather and most white leather sneakers that are cheaper aren't real leather. they crease good instead of bad and they stay looking nice significantly longer. some on that list can even be resoled. if you are just gonna deal with vinyl fake leather, yeah c85s are good choice. gazelles are great shoes for lifting in if you squat or lift heavy shit.
>>18297451if you find that a sneaker other people say is comfortable isn't for you, you might have inward or outward bent feet. shoes with a neutral last shape or a last shape bending the same direction as your foot would be comfortable but shoes bending the opposite direction would be very uncomfortable on foot.here's a video guide on checking if your foot's compatible with the shape of a sneaker before buying just using online product photos and a trace of your foot. it also tells you if/when you need to size up or down for width or if a sneaker is simply too wide/narrow for you. you can even tell where your foot will rub and hot spot on the shoe before ever putting it on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqn8k3tVl6c
>>18278417Good stability and coolest NB in a while. I'm a bit biased as I have a thing for podded shoes like the AJ13 and KB8.

>>18297559>>18281955>>18278232>>18274907i just thrifted some nike crap as a 35 yr old because i needed a sneaker for cycling they seem like air jordan how bad did i dothere is always an over prevalence of af1 and it's clones among zoomers and it grosses me out but this one looked lean thats what drew me to it my other choice was some onisuka stuff with a lip sticking out the back of the sole but the nikes looked much sturdy so i got it and they were scuffed which enabled me to haggle

Boy, no cap, I got killers that I love and they don't rap (Let's get it) ... If you can't get the main nigga, then you better get his guys (Brrah)

>>18302724You want a pic?Remember this is for somebody approaching middle age
>>18302893Those look like Travis Scott Jordan 1 knock offs. If they were real and in good condition it would have been a score.
>>18297451>Literally the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn in my lifeHave you ever wore a pair of Nike Dunks?
hey anons, so I want to get myself some sort of nice slippers to replace my old crocs. I don't like being barefoot, but there's no reason to be sweating in my sneakers all day if I'm just chilling in my house. Honestly I'd just be in my socks but I don't want my socks piling and picking up all sorts of dust and stuff from the floor. Are crocs just the best option for this? I like that they're airy so I don't sweat in them, but they're literally just cheap rubber... I wanted to see if there's any nicer options. All of the stuff I see by looking up "house slippers" are like cozy warm fluffy ones that are probably gonna make me sweat more than my sneakers.ps. i accidentally posted this in the tea thread in /ck/ kek
Does anyone know about Diadora sneakers? I tried some Cellula ones in store and I swear they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Any feedback on quality?
gayest sneakers?
>>18303189so they won't last a while fuck
I picked up the converse comme des garçons .
Best gore tex trainers? I kind of want Salomon XT-6 Goretex but I'm not 100% sure.
>>18303932very overpriced and lame
>>18303619Diadora especializes in performance running shoes and it's well know for it. They should be on par with other well know brands for running and sports like mizuno.
>>18304254Your sisters ass
Which one bros? I feel left showcases the sneaker more, while right is more mature/versatile.
>>18295225I regret it. Took like 8 months to arrive, just in time for winter so I can't wear them, and they're just super uncomfortable. I got white and so by the time they break in they'll be dingy, definitely go dark.
>>18304645You're not wrong. Stick with right.
>>18304645>fugly childish shoes that look like an alien spaceship>more matureSweatie.....
>>18304645Nasty shit, just get NBs or Balencis (try hard)
>>18303932holy 2014
>>18269342I don't remember seeing these Ecko sneakers before.A store from my country is selling them and they're kinda cheap (29 usd). I'm kinda tempted to buy them but I don't know if they're legit. Are these a thing in your country too or is the store just slapping the brand logo in them.Reverse image search only shows results of the same sneakers from the webite of the store. The other results are similar designs from different brands.
>>18306204What is it? 2003 nigger?
For me it's TNs
>>18306204I never see white people wearing Ecko. It seems like kind of a FUBU brand even if it isn't FUBU.
Ok fuckers, give me your top shoes since everything I post is “ugly”.
>>18306612These are the only kind of shoes a grown man needs.
>>18306622These weird larping posts never match reality.I work in finance and even most of the leadership team just wear normie-tier adidas sneakers around the office, or running shoes like hokas or asics etc.Some tryhards wear dress shoes but its always either one or the other, never dress sneakers.
>>18288547New Balance 574 (576 if you're in the UK, and higher quality material) are simply the best casual shoe you can buy. Comfortable, basic, simple, durable. And a billion different colors. And valuably cheap.
Way of Wade All City 12 Orange on clearance.I'd buy them for outdoor basketball but I'm not a consumerist whore like the rest of you are. I'm just posting because I think they're stylish.
I sincerely hate how this thread was so popular with fucking traschan ghetto sneakers in the OP.
>>18306612i like wearing saucony and asics. i dont like basketball sneakers except converse
>>18307062it's a consistent general thread, it was going to reach bump limit no matter what was in the OP. bizarre post. new around here?
>>18271274Check out birkenstock bend low sneakershttps://www.birkenstock.com/us/men/shoes/?cgid=men-shoes&prefn1=model&prefv1=Bend&lastfilterset=bend
>>18306634>discipline and dressing properly to work is tryhard larpThis is what happens when your culture gets negrified. And then you wonder why nobody wants to work and why the quality of everything is shit now.Also, those aren't "dress sneakers". There is no such thing. Those are just simple, minimalist, non-nigger sneakers. And they don't belong in corporate workplace either. Sneakers are for people who do a lot of walking and exercise. A finance office drone who sits around on his ass all day and commutes in a car, doesn't need sneakers. Those people in your office do it simply because modern culture is thoroughly negrified where order and discipline is seen as "oppressive" and "white supremacist". They think they're doing something rebellious by behaving like anarchic negros, which is childish, feminine and low IQ thought process.
>>18306989yeah which color should i get then
>>18307328Your favorite.There's probably some half-price clearance of some color in your size, too.

Anyone hit on the wutang dunks?
>>18307705I did not hit on the wutang dunks.
>>18307177These feel more juvenile and sterile than actual sneakers like they're for a kid going to religious school
>>18307981i envision well off 19-27 y.o wearing these. i think they look stupid personally but i mean i wear purple sneakers around
>>18307625Knowing Nike's build quality, I think not.
