Is there an official "sneaker" thread?

[PG2G]

Personally, I'd feel disgusting working out in the same shoes I wear in the evening.

If you like a similar look to Chucks but you want more comfort.

PF FLyers.

SERIOUSLY.

This. Chucks are too narrow and uncomfortable for me. Been thinking about getting some PF Flyers Bob Cousys -- very similar to chucks.

What do you guys think of these AMQ Pumas? They come in blue, orange, white and black too.

Hands down white & gum Common Projects Achilles. Check the Common Project S/S 10 thread.

i kind of like them. normally not a Mcqueen Puma fan but those are nice, but another colorway would be better.

Cheap sneakers: Vans Authentics, Vans Era, Vans Old Skool, Chuck Taylors (and the various interpretations of it like PF Flyers).

I thought the whole point of this thread was something to run in and wear with jeans

. CPs and Vans I don't think offer the greatest comfort for running.

I love JPs and I love Chucks. Comes to sneakers, that's all I'll probably wear the rest of my life. But for running and exercising, I get the cheapest pair of good Nikes or New Balance. They're only for working out, after all.

 

[lemmywinks]

There really isn't a sneaker that boasts good style and performance unless you're willing to compromise. I'd say the New Balance come close but they're such a love it or hate it shoe. I personally like the majority of New Balance sneakers. Also when I was watching the movie 500 Days of Summer and the main character was wearing a pair of sneakers that he wore casually and also in a business casual environment with dress shirts, sweater vests, chinos and I thought it looked ok. It wouldn't be something I would do everyday but it wasn't as outrageous as some people here make it out to be.

(Those were the sneakers he wore)

Can't even see the shoes. Would hit though.

Zooey Deschanel - of course I would hit that.

Will we ever hear the end of that stupid movie? I thought everybody dressed like bums.
