im pretty new to this level of fahion and want to ditch the 'ol nikes for a more fashionable sneaker (not really a fan of dress shoes, they hurt my feet and i prefer sneakers)

i notice most people recommend brown as a versatile option.

how do you guys like these? what other tips can ya give me?

looking at these, i really like them and feel like they would go good with jeans or khaki shorts, and are better than converse.

if you want to stick with sneakers you will see most people here keep it very simple - white/cream coloring will match everything and looks even better once lived in for a bit.

affordable:
Chucks
Vans Authentics
Adidas Stan Smiths
German Army Trainers (GATS) - look for the thread

more $:
Epaulet Tennis Trainers
Kent Wang sneakers
Common Projects Achilles


browse the WAYWT thread regularly for ideas. that's the best way to become accustomed to the "SF groupthink". you won't love everything but you will learn a lot.

np man i was getting some anxiety because of mt ptsd from the air force but i got it all figured it out :) I'm actually extremely resourceful. few years ago i moved far away from everyone i knew for a while and rebuilt a mustang engine completely by myself using just google searches, manuals and schematics at the ford dealer parts department. didn't ask anyone for anything and got the job done perfectly! and that was my first time rebuilding any enigne.

learned some german along the way :) but just ordered some GATS, size 41 ;) for 29.90$ :)

err...hoping 29,90 euro means 31,81$ and not 2,990 euro LOL

thanks a lot for helping me :)

SOFORT-KAUFEN!!!

this is probably another question that's gonna make me look like a fashion idiot - but how are these GATS different compared to those puma shoes that look just like them? is it just the quality? or is it because logos aren't cool and the GATS are the puma shoes without the logos?

edit: i mean these adidas
