Feiyues are nice. I just retired a pair of white canvas Los. I'd say go with the monochromatic colorways. Feiyue PLAIN is their best line IMO, although I do like the white Delta Mid.

Got a couple of pairs of Pointers. I like the look, but I appear to be going through them quite fast...then again, I used one pair when running a part of the Great Wall, and I use another pair when working at clubs.

Have a pair that looks exactly like this, but higher.

These have proven quite resilient so far.

Nice thread, looking to get more sneakers, and getting some inspiration here.

Please tell me you're not paying 50 euros for 5 dollar shoes.

OK, I see you're talking about the original Chinese Feiyues. However, the ones I have are French Feiyues. The ones depicted in the images you link are French Feiyues.

They are different. The French Feiyues are narrower in the toebox and have more padding than the Chinese ones. Overpriced for what they are? Arguably so.

Black or white laces?

On my second pair of these:

That's a good looking Puma without the white swoosh. Don't like the Sambas...

lemmywinks, I like the look of the white ones more.

I don't like sneakers to be too sleek (like plimsols) so I've been looking at chukka styled sneakers. Any suggestions?

I like Nike Tokis.

How about these Zuriicks?

Hmm, I don't like such thick soles.

I rather like them in the photo, particularly the bottom ones, though would like to see them worn.

I will take the leap of faith and buy them online. I'll make a Zuriick thread if I ever go through with this kop.
