The topic says it all, btw it doesn't need to be something like Y3 or Prada america's cup. I would say my favorite sneakers are adidas superstar II in white with navy stripes.

I like that this thread or something like it appears every three months. Right now I'm enjoying my Converse Varvatos WC IIs in Brown/Green All time favorites - Black Chuck Taylor Hi. ahem - Runners up: Adidas Rod Laver Converse Jack Purcell Saucony Jazz Not far off the standard, I'm afraid. Somewhat on-topic: Is calling them "sneakers" v. "tennis shoes" a regional thing?

I have a pair of K-Swiss Classics for relaxing and a pair of Nike Air Crosstrainers for working out.

My various grey New Balance running shoes.

That said, I do wish that I could find more brands of sneakers in wide sizes.

Chuck Taylor Low
Jack Purcell
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66
Puma Mihara Yosuhito (8 and 5 are my favorites as well)
Y-3 when affordable
Vans (officially tagged "Old School" now)

I have never in my life owned adidas shoes. It's a complete accident though, I wore black Chuck Taylors and black Vans exclusively from 1st grade to till freshman year of college.

TM, I've seen Asics and Nikes, but the I liked the appearance of the Asics less than NB, and Nikes run so narrow that their idea of wide is closer to most brands' medium.
