Sneakers |OT| Hypebeasts We Know About Ya

Decided to grab a pair of the Nike Air Max 1 Turbo Greens just incase they sold out again. Think I'll be keeping them, odd color choice but I like them.

I bought those same pairs as well from kith and got them yesterday. Gonna wear em out this weekend.

Gorgeous shoe.

After being the biggest skeptic, I really am enjoying the Vapormax. For sure there is a breaking in period during which I wanted to chop off my toes, but after that the comfort level was through the roof. Plus I think the most recent colorways look sharp. Not too crazy about the price, but I do like the shoe enough to buy 2 colorways.

my first Vapormax. only colorway available atm.
 
Even with casual use, Boost will retain the comfort but if you're looking for response, it will deteriorate. Was using a pair of UB 2.0s casually and in less than half a year, the sole cracked and the Boost split where the crack is.

I mostly used the shoe for work and a handful of workouts in them (light lifting, mostly cardio/strides/sprints/intervals) when I forgot my usual shoes. I do use them now more for workouts than regular use due to basically destroying them faster than I thought I could.

In other news, no new shoes for a while thanks to this:

Anyone know how long it usually takes to get approved to sell on Goat? Been waiting about five days now.

Bought the pumice 97s online this morning since the Nike store didn't get any of the new colorways in; if it ends up that I'm not into them, probably just gonna bite the bullet on resale summer scales like an idiot because I'm tired of not being able to find shoes in colors I actually like.

Congrats on the purchase!

Funny enough, I bought BotW for my Wii U but I will double-dip for the Switch version only because playing RPGs portable are the way to go for me. Splatoon 2 I can play either on a tv or just the screen as I play split joycon, but for something longform like Zelda, handheld is easier.
 
I still haven't brought any shoes since the City Sock gums. I'm so proud of myself lol.

Too bad that's going to end this month probably. 😬

I've been trying to sell shoes instead of buy them, but I did just pick up the alternate motorsports 4s for about $130.

Saucony VHS shadow 5000. Man I want these bad.
edit- Fuck, in sore only. .... in Germany...
I was able to get a pair. Did you sign up on the website to be notified? I was able to sign up on my laptop but not by my phone for some reason. They sent an email about 10:15 am est today. They sold out in around 25 minutes.

New nikeid vapormax are Ok, like the opaque air bubbles but don't like the mismatched swooshes, although orange and red swooshes are a cool idea

are Asics usually a safe bet? does the color look ok? i need validation plz

I really like Asics. That colorway looks good, but I must tell you that that isn't the best Gel model comfort-wise. If you want to put comfort first, definitely take a look at the Gel Lyte Vs. If you want a similar looking model with slightly better comfort, take a look at the Gel Respector.

Thanks, dude! I'll take a look.

I do own white and brown sneakers so diversification of wardrobe is not an argument

Reeboks. Those the club cl 85s or somrhting right? Just bought a all white pair, an alternative to the stan sniths/air forces for the summer. Love them.
 
So I'm down to three choices for adidas sneakers (been a long time since I owned one of my favourite classics, ZX55 in the original black and white colourways in high school), was wondering which one would be best for comfort (and I guess by extension, how well the boost feels) and style.




So far I'm leaning closer to the Harden with NMD R2 and Uncaged laceless being very close.
