I got these for $32 off StandardStyle. I think they're a bit loud but I wore 'em to get my hair done and my stylist really liked them.

for 32 bucks, it's pretty to hard to justify NOT buying them, IMO. Your thoughts?

Brightly colored sneakers are fine for casual wear. Probably better if the rest of your outfit isn't crazy loud, but yeah, they'll draw attention so if thats good then you're gtg.

IMO adding colours or patterns to your feet that you wouldn't normally wear on your clothing is acceptable. It can add a slice of interest to an outfit.

You wore them to get your hair "done"? You metrosexual.

Actually, those are kinda cool, and I'm not really big on anything bright.

Not bad, I had a pair of blood red Sambas that I liked a lot with jeans. Unfortunately a crackhead stole them along with the rest of the stuff in my backpack. If I find another pair for cheap (they were like $13 at Plato's Closet) I will get them.

Not so hot on orange, but most definitely into interesting shoes. As they say, shoes and hair are the 2 most important parts of any outfit.

I had those in seventh grade. I haven't seen them since. Fun sneakers.

I like the look of adidas shoes, the 3 stripes just fits with the design and doesn't look obviously like a brand mark.
