Air Penny 3

Had these kicks for about 3 years.

These look like they should come with a remote control.

 

[freenudemacusers]

these are nice shoes, but 80 bucks for those is fucking outrageous. Those should be 50 tops.

i'm curious as to how you arrived at that conclusion.

and $80 is small beans compared to some of the stuff posted in here

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Yeah, I'd even pay that! That's like what, £60? Sounds about right to me.

Nice shoes, smart casual styleee.

This thread makes me wish I had regular sized feet.

Luckily though it made me look through NB again and they have the Minimus 2 in wide widths finally.

Right, I have size 15's so it's pretty much impossible to find good shoes at an actual store.

There are way too many amendments, exceptions, and specific cases for me to list the entire articles of manhood.

Video games are for kids. That's what they used to say too. Is it ok for a mod to ban you to protect you from yourself? How is it that playing video games is not "just for kids" but your warped views on clothing is. Half of your brain is stuck in the 70's and the other half not. To hang your identity up on your clothing is also not healthy in the long run. And the fact you post in a thread about posting/showing your sneakers by posting a message about how you don't wear sneakers and we are not real adults means that you're just trolling, whether intentional or not. Think it's against forum rules as well.

 

[bjork]

black nike cortez, for me

 

[blame space]

I wear these a lot. they are my every day sneaker.

I also bought these huge shoes that look like the incredible hulk but I don't think I can really pull them off so I never wear them.

 

[daemissary]

Nike Free Flyknit +
Lightest and more comfortable sneaker I've ever worn.

I came to post this too. Best shoe ever, almost feels like you aren't wearing shoes at all.

Look into the NB Minimus Hi-Rez. They're 3.7 oz or so in a size 9, so approx 60% of the weight of a regular Minimus, and regular Minimus sneakers are very lightweight already. The entire sole of the Hi-Rez is a piece of fabric to which unconnected pods of rubber have been attached, so it's one of the most flexible soles ever, even more than Nike Free soles.

Most comfy shoes ever.

I couldn't agree more, it's crazy. That's my workout stuff, casual I'm with the Adidas Superstar 2 right now.

Air-max 90's man, cos I'm a dope runner!

 

[cereal_killerxx]

Whatever I can find in 12 Wide. =/

 

[Prozel]

Been wearing the Air Max 90 Essential's for about five years now.

Just got a new pair:

They just fit me perfectly, so comfortable.

Those are cool as fuck!

 

[The Albatross]

adults should not wear sneakers unless they are participating in athletic activities

You, sir, are wrong

 

[SharkJAW]

What's everyone's opinion on Saucony? Just bought a pair of Grid 9000s and I'm quite happy with them.

 

[maladroid]

Currently these are my everyday shoe:

On foot (sorry for the quality):

Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit. Lightweight and flexible. Comfortable for the most part, but they don't come with much padding given the type of shoe. Breathable, but don't think they'll hold up in the upcoming rain, unfortunately.

 

[arts&crafts]

I really want Common Projects (or something similar) But 400$ Canadian is a tad much for plain sneakers

you can usually get similarly low-key stuff from national standard, etq, our legacy, marc jacobs collection, etc for much less around sale season. check ssense, shopneighbour, yoox, and so on.

 

[Mozendo]

These are so damn comfy. I should buy more vans.

 

[PAULINK]

I really need to get a new pair of these. I wore them for years.

These are the only pair of shoes that I own, best $70 I spent ever.

I don't really understand how basketball shoes can be your "go to" shoes.

My sneaker rotation right now:

[NinjaBoiX]

OK, these are pretty damn fly:

But £200 seems a bit rich for trainers. I wonder how good the quality is? £200 isn't utterly ludicrous, I might give them a try at some point, push the boat out!

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Everyone sure seems to like AF1's!

I've put holes in so many pairs. I haven't bought a pair in awhile though, mostly because they added a lot of bulk to them. :<

I love my Janoski's! Been rotating the same two pairs for almost 4 years and they still hold up

~$350 is a pretty good price for CP if you like the look of them. the leather is miles above your standard sneaker, they're fully lined in leather, too; feels like a baseball glove on your feet. the soles are more sturdy too ime, they're made in italy by serena and hard to break down. that's what, 3.5 vans otw ludlows on the sneaker exchange rate, which I consider a fair deal.

fwiw i think these look nicer, and are only $272 at ssense. no idea what you redcoats pay for duties and etc

I also appreciate that the company has stuck to its guns, relatively, and haven't gone full tilt into crazy mishmash neon colors metal chains like a lot of high end sneakers.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Thanks a lot mac, good post. I really do like to look of them, really classy.

I think I'm even coming around on the gold print on the heel. It's not massively intrusive and I guess it's basically the logo of sorts.

Plus, the first time I saw it was on those glossy blue lo-tops you posted in the last trainer thread. I'm not a fan of glossy trainers in general and the stamp seemed a bit more prominent. It's quite subtle with a more matte natural shade of material.

I am really considering it, nicest shoes I've seen in a while. And if the quality is worth the outlay I might be sold. As much as I like to extole the virtues of mid-priced fashion I'd be lying if I said the quality/longevity wasn't lacking somewhat in the £60 Adidas trainers I buy. A year or two of moderate wear and they're basically kickers.

 

[Celcius]

Lebron 11 Away

 

[Romez]

Adidas Indoor Tennis Mid-cut. I have them in white too, really versatile and comfortable.

I really don't like these, I saw them a few weeks back in JD and thought they were going to be like £30, bottom of the range or something. There is something about the high sided sole and the panelling that makes them look super cheap, but they seem to be really popular at the minute. I just don't get the appeal at all.

You get these from JD? Seem to be selling out quick, there's no more 11's in the colour I want on the site.

I just ordered a pair of these.

well i can only speak for myself, but the standard chuck taylors, which i like design-wise, disintegrate on me after a few months. I have a couple of several year old pairs of 'nice' sneakers that are still holding strong despite me wearing them constantly and generally treating them like shit.

and you can probably window shop a pair in london and see them in person to get a better idea, and to see the gold stamp in person. it's not nearly as ostentatious as it appears in photos, and while I definitely would rather it not be there at all*, it rubs away quickly and is hidden away at the heel.

*it's just the model #, size, and color stamp that usually appears on the inside of these sneakers, btw

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Cool mac, thanks for the info.

Yeah, I got the red nubuck ones posted and the white dotted leather ones, both from JD. They'd only just launched though.

They also have the dark blue nubuck and grey leather ones.

I want them all.

Vans OTW Native American Alomar are my go-to shoes for much of the year. I live on the Canadian prairies where it's generally wet and colder during the fall/spring. I need actual boots for the winter and lighter shoes for the summer, but these are my most comfortable shoes when wearing pants.

 

[J4g3r]

Where did you buy them from?

Sorry about the slow reply. (E3!!!!!!!!)

I love these, right to my street.

I like the New Balance Minimus line a lot, especially the earlier, now-discontinued, ones, like the MO20 and MT10 leather. I wear these most of the time at the moment:

Just ordered the Nike Free Flyknit 3.0. This thread just sat me back €150. Ah well. Comfort is king.

 

[SeriousApes]

Reebok Classic Jogger

I've been wearing these for the past year and a half. I used to be a classic Vans kinda guy, but these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I really need to get a new pair. I gotta get the nylon version because I have wide feet and need a little stretch.

I run in those. Pretty great shoes. I like them better than my old flyknit free 5.0s, and I loved my 5.0s.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Need a new pair though, they are starting to fall apart.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Ugh, I can't find decent sneakers at any local stores.

Anyone know a good website with variety for larger mens shoes? (14W)

 

[J_Macgrady]

I don't really understand how basketball shoes can be your "go to" shoes.

I don't see what's the big deal. Plenty of people wear basketball sneakers casually.

i wish you guys would put the sneaker names with the pics. i'm not a sneaker expert and i wanna check out some of those.

The same goes for the gaming section, people post screenshots. I'm on here almost every day and follow all platforms but a third of the time i don't even know what the game is supposed to be.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

These are really nice too. They look a little long, but I'm only a size 7 so the proportions would probably look better.

I should delete this thread from my subs really, too much stuff I want to buy, not enough money...
