I suppose they have a gloss to them that most sneakers do not. I wouldn't consider that a negative, though, but I can see how it would be unusual and possibly a turnoff. it's not quite so apparent in regular non-studio lighting

they seem alright

not my kind of thing though

 

[Technosteve]

are the lamb skin sneakers comfy?

 

[CrisKre]

Tretorn has some amazing sneakers if you ask me:

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I get the complaint with too glossy (even though I don't think the trainers in question are), but not glossy at all kind of limits your options too much.

 

[bidguy]

You do realize a huge amount of mens shoes are leather and therefore glossy right? Unless you wanna show up to every event in your life wearing matte sneakers.

im talking about sneakers only isnt that what this thread is about

"i dont need shiny things on my feet"

Sounds a bit more encompassing to me.

 

[Drkirby]

Those shoes are horrible, if you wore them I'd assume you were a construction worker.

eh alright i should have thought before typing that fair enough

surprisingly stiff at first but they break in nicely

edit: i think its calf but im not sure

 

[Particulam]

Those sneakers would go great with a leather biker jacket

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Oh I almost forgot, I was walking past Foot Locker today and saw these hideous monstrosities in the window:

What the fuck.

That shop has the worst stock man.

 

[Alucrid]

they are glossy

no, this is glossy

 

[see5harp]

Did anyone see the MF Doom x Clarks Wallabees collabo? Those were super hot but I never saw whether they ever went on sale.

 

[Protag]

do you have margellers?

Nah but im familiar with them, and withoutnthe splatter, its much better IMO of course.

I think i saw that same colorway w/o the splatter, which is what i was referencing. If not, it was a similar colorway.

Bought these in the end. No controversy.

Conformist.

 

[LocknessMobster]

Got them as a gift and wasnt sure I liked them at first because of the felt like material. But I get mad compliments when I rock em.

Great shoes.

Also saw this picture posted by Suits on Facebook today:

I was blown away by the choice of shoes. That's how you do a "used shoe", look. When they look as if you've just splattered paint on them, they move into some post-modernistic "breaking the wall" part of artistic expression. It's not conveyed well with a shoe. Of course, when we're talking post-modernistic, that might be the point, but, well. It doesn't look good.

 

[ponpo]

All shoes ITT are ugly. That's just reality. Though at least OP bought less offensive ones vs. those in the...OP.

After looking at those pics, I went to their website and yeah man, they do have some great shoes. And cheap too! I even bought me a pair.

and here i was hoping there would be some inspirational images to select from

I don't want my unrivalled taste to offend plebes ( ≖‿&#8790

Not a fan of clunkier looking sneakers / shoes in general, though. Air Maxes becoming popular in Tokyo after years of new balance dominance = sad.

 

[freenudemacusers]

plebes
new balance

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You have no idea what you're talking about. Please continue preaching to your non-existent audience.

 

[Coconut]

At least if a bird shits on them you won't notice.

 

[Granadier]

common projects are much more reasonably priced at $400-$600

Left hand picture I think looks great, but that right hand picture with the shoes + suit looks off to me. Nothing fits right, and the shoes seem to accentuate that.

If that's the style he's going for though, more power to him.

 

[Slizz]

Most recent shoe purchase:

For $38 there wasn't too much to think about.

 

[blame space]

my shoes were $30. shoes are weird because changing your main pair never feels right until you wear the new pair for like a week. like you look down and think these aren't my shoes! who am I?! haha

 

[ChosenPredator]

I would wear them to escape a certain painting situation then eat a mentos afterwards

 

[Senor Kami]

They look like garbage imo. That's me. I like simple and clean design. The paint looks like bird shit.

Digging these, don't think I can pull them off though.

Those red ones and the brown ones... magnifique

I'm the opposite. Love the feeling of wearing new shoes. I typically wear a different pair of sneakers every day of the week.

 

[Halcyon]

I can't pull off the flat sneaker look. I always associate it with thinner younger people. Also thin shoes in general look weird on me. I need a thick shoe/boot/basketballshoe or I look unbalanced.

 

[Sun Bather]

Look at them. What do you think? Yes, they are pretty lame.

you can find them on ebay fairly frequently for $200 or so

Nice man, I like.

I saw these super classy ones in Foot Locker the other day:

You can never have too much gold-plated tatt on shoes.

(That plate on the tongue man. Yuck.)

Only shoe that matters:

 

[MikeDown]

IDK they got style, but I wouldn't wear them

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I wouldn't wear them, but a dude with a different body-type/aesthetic could probably work them into something.
