YSL Rolling sneakers... I bought them too small so I ruined them in the first month. They look like cheap ass shoes now... oh well!

Otherwise, I'm moving towards dressier shoes; I have just bought wingtips and I like the way it looks with jeans. Plus, being quite small, the heel makes me slightly taller.

During the summer, I have two pair of loafers: a classic brown one and a bright orange one.

A. ******** is one word, get your racial slurs right for the love of person of Italian descent Jesus.

B. If you can make simple light canvas shoes stink, it's your feet that reek.

I'll remember that space technique when Al Sharpton comes to kill me.

"But Al, I put a space between the two G's! I put a space!!!!!"

Ehh, shoe collection is sort of low currently. right now i just have
nike 6.0 oncore premiums
leather treads
red vans authentic

On my to-buy list, in order lol
the jcrew distressed white purcell
some sort of sperrys. read note below
a newer pair of leather treads
i've been eying some geox moccasins

about the sperrys, I'm not sure what i want to get. I know i want an original, with the laces and whatnot, but as far as color i'm at a loss. I don't want to just get the brown or whatever. like, what color would you guys recommend for let's say, an outfit of a navy polo and flat front khaki shorts?

Those are nice...cream would go well with khaki shorts, though.

Prada Linea Rossa. black on black.


One of my best shoe purchases, wear them so much...so versatile with jeans or shorts. I wear them almost everyday....I probably shouldn't but they're so comfortable and can go with my casual wear really well.

Could you post what kind of tennis shoes you regularly wear?

Honestly, wearing tennis shoes/running shoes when you're not doing said activity doesn't make any sense at all. Sure they may be comfortable but they're mostly all ugly as ****. Contrary to popular belief, wearing these all of the time do not make you look more "athletic." It just makes it look like your mom dresses you. Stick to more casual sneakers. Around campus, I see nerdy white guys and Asian fobs wear athletic shoes all of the time...ugh.

I've got about 1/2 to an inch between my toe and the end of the toe cap, is this usual with chucks because they are more long and pointy compared to vans?
