I looked at spring court but those chunky ass soles look terrible. CPs are outta my budget, and generic surplus designs aren't that great. I may just lay off the sneaker thing for a while I guess.

How about some Lacoste? They're a good fitting, basic white canvas, nothing funky, sneaker. They have a little croc logo, but it's so little that you won't think twice about it.

dont really like rlbl nylon... that being said i have the remit jacket in silver, though i got it for $125. otherwise stay away from the windbreakers and stuff, there is nothing really special about them.

lacoste tennis sneakers won't last any longer than cheap plimsoles, not worth the extra cash.
