Heh, they're just so... ordinary though. That's no hate against white chucks, just that I'm looking for something slightly more unique to pair with denim that I don't wear all that frequently. But all-white sneakers would work better than something that is black/white? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to sneakers.

i'm not really sure to be honest. A gray would be nice. I'm thinking black wouldn't look so good with the indigo, but i don't think it matters that much. Take a look through WAYWT.

If I'm not happy with them in person, I can always get some Gilt credit for them while looking for something better.

Why do the laces look so bad?

I wish these Adidas were still in production.

Got my German army trainers today. I'm a 9.5 dress shoe and 10 sneaker so I bought a 280 (which converts to 10US). I'd say they are a 1/4-1/2 size big but still wearable. Next time, I'll try a 275 but I think they might be too snug.

Thanks for the sizing info wannabeagiant. Also, RFX45, what were those Adidas called? They look ******* nice. Edit: looked up the picture's url and turns out they're called Adidas Original BW Army Mids or GSG9 Trainers

Looks nice, however, I am not feeling the canvas and would have been great with a gum sole. Still, if it becomes available in the US, will probably cop.

I think they should just release something liek this w/o the subtle 3 stripes though.
