whoah, they're great. i really like the brown suede actually. still guess that's a bit impractical for winter. my new sneakers are still hurting me, incidentally.

got these from a new and shockingly good trainer store which has opened in Dublin.

Ronan, if it's so shockingly good why did you get the only ugly ones? hahaahahaha Sorry, I had to make a bad joke. They look great.

I wanted to escape the hegemony of white, uncomfortable adidas

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 October 2005 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

has anyone seen a pair of those black adidas micropacer reissues? they are so so so hot, however they're also about four times what I'd pay for sneakers.

They are nice and soft and felt-y feeling.

I got a pair of these recently and dig 'em. But they're made of mesh which is sort of a problem in my extremely cold climate.

"New shoes" in the voice of LJ is a common phrase in my household.

And I'm getting these (already have red and blue ones just like them). The person who designed them has my eternal love.

won't the sparkles come off? i had red sparkly sunglasses and every time i took them off i had sparkles on my face!

oh ilx my lionheart (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 November 2005 05:55 (eighteen years ago) link

ask dorothy.

SURRENDER DOROTHY

oh ilx my lionheart (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 November 2005 05:56 (eighteen years ago) link

dorothy, i'm sure, would've been a lot more confident wearing those instead.

hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 18 November 2005 05:58 (eighteen years ago) link

stupid picture. here they are sans link. they come in black patent leather too but that seems kinda boring in comparison.

yeah, i dont know how the sparkles would stay on. i guess theyre not the running down dirty alleys type shoes. very festive though, no?

sunny successor (he hates my guts, we had a fight) (katharine), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i have shiny black vinyl shoes that look exactly like those, but sans glitter.

oh ilx my lionheart (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:07 (eighteen years ago) link

say, what's the difference between vinyl and patent leather?

oh ilx my lionheart (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:10 (eighteen years ago) link

the leather?

s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:16 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm not even entirely sure what "patent" leather is!

oh ilx my lionheart (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i think it's just leather with some kind of high gloss lacquer on it isn't it? reminds me of going to mass when i was a little tacker and wearing frilly socks.

gem (trisk), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Vinyl is a synthetic material.

Patent just means glossy finish. But of course patent leather could mean it's real/fake leather, you'd have to ask.

I think the shoes are VERY kah-ute.

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 18 November 2005 09:11 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i thought it just meant glossy. its mostly used in kids shoes. those lucky little bastards get all the good stuff. anyway, here's the pl version:

three weeks pass...
OMG shoe dilemma! I want some New Balances, but they're all so nice!!

Please vote for any of the ones below. The solid colour ones are all suede.

wish there were more good shoes I could find

RJG (RJG), Monday, 12 December 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I need new shoes, but isn't it a drag to buy new shoes during winter? There will be no honeymoon period, they'll get all slushy and salty as soon as I walk out there door.

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 12 December 2005 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

definitely the blue. runners up: green then purple/tan

sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 December 2005 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

1 vote for the penultimate pair.

the others are too purple/pink and the blue is too boring.

ah. xpost

StanM (StanM), Monday, 12 December 2005 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Personally, I like the greeny/brown ones that are second from the right. (though it's hard to tell the colour on this laptop screen.) or the blue ones, but I would say that because I love blue suede shoes. (I'm wearing a pair myself right now!)

Kate Classic (kate), Monday, 12 December 2005 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i like the purple ones or the 2nd ones in from the left.

tres letraj (tehresa), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:37 (eighteen years ago) link

are the second pair from the left brown and purple? its hard to tell

sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:38 (eighteen years ago) link

most recent acquisition:

i love them so much i even put up with snow coming in the peep toes when i go out to my car. i think i have an addiction.

tres letraj (tehresa), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:40 (eighteen years ago) link

durrr....

tres letraj (tehresa), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:41 (eighteen years ago) link

oooh very cute!
i got some cheap wedge boots, too, to tide me over til i find something better...

tres letraj (tehresa), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i like those and i especially like how dramatically arched the wedge is on the first pair. very foxy.

are wedges the same shoes they used to call 'clogs' in the 70s, or are clogs (no, not dutchy clogs) something else altogether?

sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 December 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

i think clogs generally have the chunky heel but it's usually at much less of an angle

sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 12 December 2005 19:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm speechless.

tres letraj (tehresa), Monday, 12 December 2005 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i got some dark grey (not suede) new balances today. they are awesome.

hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

think the first new balance are the best, I nearly got them once.

Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

should I get these??

turboalbino (haitch), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I like the box!

StanM (StanM), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Is that a digital clock? I'd like them with laces but then, no clock :(

I think I have narrowed it down to the blue or the brown/ochre. The green (my favourite colour) are a bit muddy, the brown, just don't fancy them, and the orange/white/black I do love but think I'd tire of quickly.

Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

my friend has those adidas, but in a sort of matte gold without the clock. they're so hot. i go into an insane covetous rage everytime i see them.

lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

wouldnt that be a pedometer? you know, for people who use athletic shoes for athletic activities?

sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't know if there's a pedometer function, but when the model was first introduced they were special edition 'originals', not 'performance' - ie not for serious sport use.
