I mean they're going to present way better than a wal-mart shoe in person (even without the logo) because the materials and construction are going to be much better, but it's still just "let's hijack design elements from some other sneakers and slap a prada label on it whoa have you heard of postmodernism?" in a way that feels really played out

idk i think that design looks pretty unique to me even if i recognize elements of it from other places
i also like these new pyer moss reebokshttps://sneakerbardetroit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Pyer-Moss-Reebok-Experiment-4-Fury-Trail-Fresco-FX4452-Release-Date.jpg

prada has been making ugly black sneakers since the mid-90s iirc

Are these bearable? I have high arches, supinate badly, and need an athletic shoe that doesn't look like the 80s vomited on it. But all sneakers look basically awful to me so I can't tell.

Also I can't believe how much it costs for $.05 worth of nylon mesh and a few ounces of molded plastic.

they’re fine imo

They seem fine. The little rainbow bar is a little bit random but it's not very intrusive. I am a fan of asics for running, I think they make good value running shoes (as someone who is only a casual runner, can't speak to the high performance crowd). I have Asics trail running shoes and they are kind of ugly but I don't really care. Some Asics are nicer but these were like $55.

They look ideal for convalescent home / psych ward staff
― calstars, Saturday, 9 January 2021 18:15 (five years ago)
I went to a specialized running shoe store and talked with v knowledgeable staff, tried their recs and ended up in a pair of asics which are serving me just fine; my issue is cranky knee that needs some cushion for rehabbing purposes.
