Sneaker Suggestions

[Flame]

Actually Superstars are my favorite sneakers of all time, but the only ones that look good are the Vintage re-issue version.

For example:

Notice the less bulkier heel counter and sleeker toe area.

I think HL sneakers are far higher in quality than your typical plastic Nikes. Ditto Reiter Sports.

I wish Jack Purcells were not so godawfully motherfucking painful to wear. Sigh.

^^no kidding.

I refuse to buy a pair due to that fact.

I think sambas are a classic that look good with almost every cut of jean, save super baggy wide leg.
I also agree that most classic slip-ons will fare well, not to mention the fact that they seem to be experiencing a huge surge of popularity these days.

I think Purcells are my favorite sneakers style/design-wise but I don't even know if I can wear them anymore. They pretty much brutally **** my feet every time I wear them.

Are Chucks as uncomfortable?

I like the Nike tennis classics in white/white or white/photo blue.

Never had a problem with my chucks but getting sore feet from my adidas antelopes. I guess it depends on the shape of your feet.

I am really pissed off -- the Adidas Adicolors cost $250. **** that. I really love some of the designs, but they're not worth that much.

I don't know about Nike so much, except for the original Cortez,they were not plastic.

You're right. That is just ridiculous.

Minya, are you talking about these models? They seem to be more reasonable here: http://www.overkillshop.com/de/index/cat/18/page/1/

 

[minya]

oh, you're right, those are somewhat more reasonably priced.

I know that the J-Money/DQM ones, Hideout, and Woodwoods were $250 in the USA, though. I think the J-$/Woodwoods were my favorite overall. I like the Crooked Tongues, though...

Minya,

What happened to the friendship we had previous?

I feel a change since the SF crashed.Although really, I still am the same inside.

 

[berlin report]

I really only like the crooked tongues. Don't think they're available yet though.

 

[minya]

don't worry, Vaclav.. I'm still your smooth buddy. and I know you're still down with the street crew.

I am happy to hear this. Soon I'll post my street style.
