The ~air technology~ was a genuine surprise when I bought a pair of Air Max 1's some years back in high-school. I looked upon them - and the little "peak window" into the sole - as gimmicky and pretentious... til of course I wore them. Really have been the most comfortable shoes I've owned yet.
I still refuse to wear Nike nowaday tho.
― yeah (kelpolaris), Thursday, 10 March 2011 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link
This will be my first pair of Nikes in many many years. In college I was very adamant about the sweatshop labor thing. Now it feels like you don't really have a choice, plus I think chinese working conditions have probably improved slightly due to the overall economic boom they've experienced.

what do you recommend as proper summer shoes for men, you know with shorts and all. i've always gone with either vans or chucks. i dont do flip flops.
― The Scenario (chrisv2010), Thursday, 10 March 2011 14:28 (thirteen years ago) link
In my opinion, you've got it covered. I'm sure max will be here any moment, though, to tell you that top hats for your feet are the new way forward.

Vans are officially the stinkiest shoes I have ever owned. Why I kept wearing them (several pairs over several summers) I have no idea.

chris 1) i want to congratulate you on never wearing flip flops, which are the absolute worst, 2) laurel is right, i highly recommend top hats

onitsuka tigers are a pretty good lightweight shoe for the summer - really thin, let your feet breathe

Never got that whole concept of "letting your feet breathe". I had a pair of Vans - literally consisting of nothing but cloth - that turned out to be the soppiest, sweatiest shoes I've ever owned.

idk man, some days I'm like "fuck sandals" and some days I'm like "fuck people who take themselves too seriously" because sandals feel amazingly good on a warm day.

I feel like if you get a good classy pair of say leather flipflops it looks okay and not too bad, fuck those polyester foam 50 diff colored ones thogh

Yeah I have leather bible sandals -- slightly birkenstockish but teva/naot brand. I occasionally get shit for them. I would like to find some kind of soft, breathable alternative (I also hate getting the sandal tan).

Adidas are sweet, but holy god are their tongues obnoxious. I mean they've bothered me so much that I've emailed the company... and browse thru any Zappos review, a lot of ppl think the same. They're v long and stiff (bite into you w/ every step), iono why they're so fond of the design.

Yeah mine were canvas. Converse are made of canvas, right? Lotta friends tell me their feet feel great in them, that they really get to breathe and are great barefoot...and I'm just always going wtf. Sometimes I really think think people are misinterpreting the quality as some sort of metaphorical thing... like their feet get to "breathe" via nut being "crushed by cushions or thick materials. imo I don't think I've ever owned a shoe where I felt my feet... um, tickled by the wind.
