Didn't we have a thread like this before? Maybe that was post your sneaker collection, and we're so post-posting sneaker collections at this point...

converse varvatos wc-something or other
chucks (black, gray)
purcells
lavers (actually, recently retired

)
vans slips
dunks
Saucony hornets
beat up nordstrom bucks
rainbow sandals

crossover appeal:
polo chelseas
certo medallion toe oxfords

campers pelotas
Actually broke out my pair yesterday for the first time in over a year. Mine look even more like ortho shoes than most (cream/black); but sooo comfy.

Well, I agree about the AE lasts. I have three pairs, Park Avenue captoes (for interviews), Fairfax wholecuts & Hastings wholecuts. The wholecuts go rather well with more casual outfits as they are not as clunky as pictures suggest. But I dont' consider them sleek in anyway. Anyhow, my go-to shoes for casual outfits are boots usually. Chucks and the like are far too boring and ubiquitous for my tastes.

any recommendation are welcome..
so far I have loake,AE, j crew, CT and redwing gentlemen targeted for this year...


btw for your information converse JV SUCKS in term of the clear sole compared to jack purcell or usual converse, the JV sole easily to be rip ( just the back part ) after couple off month use. However, I think the Jv converse design provide an adult style converse sneakers compare to the usual converse= campus/ school boy sneakers.
