What are your thoughts on Chinese brands like Li Ning and Anta?
>>18773940>chinese brands like ching chong and wing wongGet a clue, loser.
>>18773860uhm the implied imagery in this picture is a bit... just yikes
Chuck Taylors are the white man's sneakers
i don't normally care for vans but these are fire

>>18774074im just posting my wishlist at this point
>>18774075
>>18774077
>>18774078
>>18774079these are more like trainers than sneakers but still fire
>>18774023
>>18773889LTG’s lips look weird
>>18773805you guys have any good reccos for dad sneakers?
>>18774116
Let me put yall onto some fire
>>18774212we're waiting
ASICS Gel-nycy or n
>All those flat shoes ittDon't you anons want to appear a little bit taller in the big 2026 after all this hypergamy inflation or are you all femboys?
>>18774362The tall trend will die out soon, we're just getting ahead of it. Height obsession is a new phenomenon. 15 years ago no one gave a shit, and you could be a manlet as long as you were white and had a good face.
>>18774364>The tall trend will die out soonNo it will not lol, height was always king
>>18774116The New Balance 2811
>>18773940I've tried a couple of eastern brands, some of them are comfy and prices are reasonable, even the ones with carbon fiber soles. I might get one as my next shoes. >>18773946Western brands are also made in chinese factories.
>>18774379
If my special insoles i have coming tomorrow dont work for my tight puma gats i might cop some club c grounds.
The best color way for the club c 85 vintage? And why is it this one.
>>18774078I like this silhouette
>>18774684Same energy.
it's been well over a decade and i still want holo runners
same goes for the lemonade kiko burz 1s; i thought the desire would go away with time, but these still intrigue me
>be me>live in japan>size US 13 / JP 31>want ASICS kayano 14 or gel nyc, or NB 9060 or 2002r>literally none of these are available in size 31 (well, the ASICS technically are but they're perpetually sold out across all marketplaces)i don't understand. they have other shit in my size but just not their premier stock that i would actually buy. fuck this gay country
>>18774786It worked!Get some “ploron grey 4k” its non-newtonian matter. Clever stuff makes 70s retros bouncy while being thin enuff to fit in a cupsole.
>>18774358Ugliest incel shoes ever
>>18775307
pulled the trigger on these today
Redpill me on ballerina sneakersWhich ones are the Best?
>>18776292To me Pane Zephyrs. But adidas makes good ones tooBut as a man you shouldnt wear ballerinas imho
JUST
>>18776726are we buyin the dip
wudabout these black ASICS? Gonna use them for walking/running/lifting etc.
ID on these New Balances? Sorry for the shit photo
>>18776727I thought about it, but Nike is seriously done. It may come up a little, but nothing substantial. Nike is over. It's for poor shits and everyone is bailing.
>>18776785Why did you not just ask the person wearing them?
>>18776785I think its the 530
>>18776785>>18776848Maybe this actually.
thoughts on this for everyday and semi formal wear also i don't wear with shorts (i'm not a fag)
>>18778544I dont get itWhy dont kids want 250 dollar polyester hoodies and the same shoes from the 1980s rereleased every year
>>18776879>semi formalLol, what's your idea of semi formal?
Skechers hotshot (gats)
>>18778713i'll never wear skechers bro i don't care how heat they are
>>18778725How about:Skech”air” chaosFull length air unit (women’s only)
What do anons think about this throwback Saucony roonin shoe?
What do people here think about minimalist suede sneakers like this?I kinda want to get ones in a bunch of different colors, is it a bad idea?
>>18778890I had a long argument about them here while back and I ain’t going to go down that road again but I’m just going to state my opinion which is that I do not care for minimalist sneakers and in my opinion they defeat the purpose of sneakers and just scream old man.
>>18778890Suede is a bit faggy but if you'd said canvas, definitely.
>>18778907I've never even seen canvas sneakers in that sort of style, do you have some brands?
>>18778763For road running? I read good things.For stealthy tech looks? I would go blacker and more minimal. And they look chunky from above.
>>18778908No but the style is deck shoe, same profile as your pic related.
>>18778913Sperry are the kings of deck shoes
>>18778677you know like going to an office, invited weddings, or going on an interview
what do we think about onitsuka tigers? are they heavily overrated over alternatives
>>18778913I checked deck shoes and they all look pretty different.Like they have a weird cap almost at the front and don't look nearly as neat
>>18779078>>18778920Sperrys don't have a weird cap do they?
>>18778890mfa basedboy* core *: purposefully dated buzzword
what you guys think
>>18779082Is it? I thought they mainly liked brown boots and white high tops.>>18779079They do
cop? i always used to get uncaged ultraboosts but they are a cunt to find now
Reebok zig never took off here but they still make them.I had a pair back in 2020 an older model.
>>18779087i think it's an eastern european only model. i can't find any info except for russian. but i kinda like them.
>>18779093doesn't look much like a winter shoe. unless you live in SoCal or Portugal or something lol
>>18779171If you wear sneakers when it's cold and dirty outside you are a lost cause.
Why is every sneaker in probably the last 10 years made like shit? Every damn time, within 6 months to 1 year either the sole delaminates or I end up wearing down a hole into it, just from walking.
>>18779074Honestly? Onitsuka Tigers are good, but I think they’re somewhat overrated if you judge them as a sneaker rather than a fashion item.The Mexico 66 is basically a style-first shoe. Its biggest strengths are the silhouette, light weight, and distinctive Japanese-retro look—not cushioning, support, or durability. Recent reviews consistently flag the thin sole and narrow fit as its main weaknesses.My honest verdictNot overrated aesthetically. Somewhat overrated functionally.If you look at a Mexico 66 and think "damn, that silhouette is exactly what I want" — buy it. There isn't really a substitute that gives you precisely the same look.But if you're thinking "I want a $100–150 everyday sneaker; is this the objectively best shoe?" — absolutely not. There are better shoes for comfort, durability, and value.
Any thoughts on Flower Mountain?Randomly came across them and they have a ton of really cool designs, has someone bought from them before?
>>18779211ty for ur perspective anon
>>18779218Reminds me of Karhu
berska trainers for 30 eurosindented use: the gym and running track. what do you guys think?
>>18779218never heard of them before but i kinda dig their styles
>>18779379i think we are onto something. i've been wearing my old new balance to the gym all this time.
>>18779093>but they are a cunt to find nowthe whole point was that you made them yourself before adidas uncaged them themselves
Copped these.>>18779388Good.
>>18779430That doesn't work when they aren't even really selling Ultraboosts anymore
>>18779785didn't they rerelease 1.0s?
>>18776792>It's for poor shitsBut they price things so high. Ah yes, let me buy a £160 pair of TNs that have shite build quality.
Came early. I like em. If hoka restocks the bondi sr i might cop those next.
got these Cole Haans at the thrift store for 8 bucks. they were dirty and a total bitch to clean but I'm happy with them even if the toes are crushed
What is the right choice club c or club c revenge
>>18780244c 85 vintage is a superior sneaker comfort wise, can't speak on the revenge but I have a pair of 85 vintage and regulars and the vintage feels plush on the foot even after a few years of wear. the base 85 has lasted a long time with daily wear and high mileage however.I'd say go with whatever colorway works better for you.
does something similar to my ms paint creation exists in real life? to clarify I want sneakers that with one of those long ass tongues that hang over laces and have shox like "heels"
>>18779858Target audience.Moving bags for cash in hand.
>have had a brand new pair of these sitting in my closet for 2 years because i'm afraid to stain the whiteI'm fucking retarded and want to wear them, but I still can't bring myself to do it. At most I've just worn them around the house since they are insanely comfortable.
lmfao imagine the 30 +yo losers on /fa/ still posting about sneakers. god damn ur ugly and old this shit is for teens hahah
>>18779835Did they? I don't see any on their site, just the ugly as sin Ultraboost 5s.
I can't tell if these are real or not. IG post says it's Mizuno LG 60s TL but there's nothing on them online and I only found these in some shady chinese e-shop.
So what are those slightly retro 90s sneakers every normie wears nowadays? I'm stuck with sneakers from 2014 and looking to make a noncontroversial change here
>>1878109990s are out, 00s are in. get yourself osiris d3
In 2027 they shall return…
>>18781122But are the 00s in if we can say that they're in? Something is usually already out of fashion when you can notice it.
>>18781343there are no other eras left to recycle, zoomers aren't nostalgic for 10s yet and truth be told 10s fucking sucked so yeah we're stuck in a cycle of 90s and 00s fashion
have sneaker trends changed at all since the coofor even since like 2015everything look like a rehash of existing sneakers or a clown shoe
for the last 20 years ive only worn Adidas Samoa shoesnow my foot is permanently shaped like a Samoa
>>18781445If only you'd worn Sambas
>>18781433in 2015 no one was really wearing like chunky dad shoes like the intentionally ugly new balance modelsthat was the stan smiths/AF1 era
>>18781414I don't really recall anything unique about the 10s, it feels like culture on the whole started to stagnate around 2011ish
>>18781460are they better for foot shape or whatever? they seem tight on the sides
>>18781433around that period ultraboosts were huge and they're long dead now>>18781540culture of what? fashion changed, music changed. I'd agree with you if you said early 2020s, thats when rage/hyperpop got popular and we havent got anything really new since then
>>18781543There just hasn't seemed to be anything that was a definitive tide mark for the era. The 00s were pretty well marked because of things like the technology and media of the time, but the 10s is when things really seemed to just slow down or outright stop. The start of the 10s is when the trend of Marvel movies went into maximum and you can even see the stats on how original movies tapered off and Marvel sequels just takeover completely.
>>18781433oh and old skools were also huge at the time and theyre not rly a thing now>>18781545depends what you mean even the 90s had different things defining it, from the internet to music to movies which are in a way independent. i guess tv/movies did get a slump in the 2010s and it was downhill from there. there are some gemmies from that era imo, mr robot, boardwalk empire, true detective season 1. as for movies idk its been mostly dogshit i just watched bladerunner and liked it but thats about it. music changed a lot from the early 2010s to late 2010s, it went from mostly dubstep to trap both which are long dead by now
>>18781546Sure, I'm not saying there weren't good pieces of media during the time, but they weren't definitive of the time period. There's nothing about True Detective that makes it feel like a piece of 10s media, it could easily be thought of as being made today (S1 was absolute kino btw and I don't mean this as a negative). But when you watch something like Dawson's Creek or the first dozen seasons of The Simpsons, you can instantly tell the decade they're from.>as for movies idk its been mostly dogshit i just watched bladerunner and liked it but thats about it.2049? As a fan of the original movie and the book, I hated it, it completely missed the point and it was shameful. It was visually excellent but the story was garbage.
We had “how i met your mother”, nike janoskis, and squid-ward dabbing.It was shit.
>>18781551i didnt read the book so i didnt go in with any preconcieved ideas of how "it should be" i liked the story and ofc it was very beautiful visually. as for what youre saying idk if any era is t>There's nothing about True Detective that makes it feel like a piece of 10s mediaI disagree. i cant see the show being made in the 2000s or 2020s. what do you mean definitive of the time period exactly? i could look at it and tell from a glance its from the 2010s
>>18781554My ex is still just like that pic and she's in her 30s now.
>>18781555>as for what youre saying idk if any era is tas for what youre saying idk if any era is that defined by a single event or movement, it depends what you were into, like the 1990s were they defined by grunge, or late 1999s boy bands? seinfeld? rise of the internet?
2010’s: era of the Mediterranean fuccboi drugdealer.
>>18781540>I don't really recall anything unique about the 10scloud rap yung lean sad boys that thing was a thing back then
>>18781541sambas are terrible for your feet, on par with chuck taylors. the shoe basically has no midsole.
>>18781541They just look more like feet :o
>>18781568Any reccs for a good looking shoe that is not bad for your feet? Or is that just the trade off? I've been considering Salomon XT-6 lately but I also wonder if they're too trendy/normie now.
2010sdeano chinosor stompclap soi red/black chequered shirts
>>18781751>stompclap soi red/black chequered shirtskinda miss this
>>18781445this happened to me with af1s
>>18774679God I hate this new meta of having a sole that’s 3 inches thick.
>>18775307White and green >>18776139How is your y
Today I went to Academy sports and outdoors to look at the sneakers. Every fucking shoe looks like dad shoes. Why does every shoe have to have a 2 inch heel? They look fucking retarded. In fact, I'm a millenial and I've not bought shoes in 5 years. The only fucking shoe I recognized from before was the Nike Air Max and they don't even have air force ones no more. WTF is happening? Why does everyone want to wear those ugly new blance shoes? We used to make fun of those when I was in school.
>>18774080When I was growing up only old fat men and poor kids worse shoes like this. You would be bullied and laughed at in the 00s.
>>18785392Ive learnt there were early 2000s tech runners but those were marketed as gym shoes to fashionable white collar workers.I think thats the trend rn. The zoomie gurls on tiktok are all wearing 9060s this year and seeing big reductions on pretty good colour-ways.>>18785392After global recession happened the wave of hip-hop culture tribalised the world to tn’s and basketball shoes. Being public schooled during the height of racial equality probably left that impression on you.
id on these?
>>18784936>How is your yhow is what now?
>>18785453Thats a shoe.
>>18785392It's also hard for me to get over how uncool the brand was when I was growing up. I still look down on anybody that wears shoes with that huge ugly N on the side, it's in the same category as Skechers to me.
>>18780665these shits are easy asf to clean just use a baby wipe. youd have to use paint or some shit to stain them

New 990v7 dropping soon.
My requirements are maximum bounce/no logo
ACS PRO or XT-EVOs (pic rel)Would be all-black colorway both ways I like the form of the XT-EVO slightly more and it seems like it would be the more versatile all-season choice, but the mesh and overall construction have me a little dubious about the durability. Plus I'm not sure how much I actually like it and how much is just hype. The ACS PRO meanwhile seems like it can survive a bomb going off, and looks sturdy and aggressive. But is it too much for just walking around cities? I'm not gonna be hiking in this shit. Thoughts?
>>18788024Woops, forgot pic.
I the Prophet and Messiah must speak,I have had a vision.For no reason at all, 2018 chunky sneakers will be trending again.
>>18787948fresh
fuck these are actually so gorgeous
>>18788366autismshoe: revisited
For the few anons that know their shit in this general, I need some reccs. I've been looking for an interesing/weird, low profile, gorpy, laceless, ideally waterproof/resistant sneaker. Came across these puma beisser disk which almost fit the bill and I like the colorway but the price and the lack of water protection are holding me back. Anything similar you can recc?
>>18788024Have you tried Salomon before?They run narrow and are designed for stability over comfort.
