I'm actually just biased against lowtops, trying to spread the hate.

Interesting that very few people seem to have the tournament lows.

Another thing I found interesting is that I always liked the old Tourneys better than the newer ones from pictures on the internet, but in real life the new ones are really good. And they look more like a shoe than an...object from the mind of an industrial designer.

Some of the older designs just look like a strange alien object in comparison to...clothes.


edit: who am I kidding, these are ******* beautiful. need to be re posted every once in a while

The new ones with black laces look cool, and the leather is pretty nice. They appear a bit similar to achilles imo, where the proportions look more like children's shoes, and can look strange when worn with the wrong kind of pants. I usually wear jeans with about a 7" hem and a lot of stacks and I think the shoes would look better with a fuller or a more relaxed fit.

I think the cut may be different than both Achilles and the captoes... they all seem to fit differently for me.
