str8 fire beautiful kix

i never wear vans out and about because i feel like it pushes me over the line to 'washed up skateboard dad trying too hard' but they're the best shoes on spikey platform bike pedals

I like the combo of the dark brown (gum) with the red on the ones I posted above
Can’t find them online though , anyone have suggestions ?

if you can eliminate the trying too hard part its a great look

not sure if those are the exact ones, that red is rose wood but the ones you posted might be apple butter

OR they might just look like apple butter in the photo cause there doesnt seem to be apple butter with the gum soles, or they could be another color idk

i think those are them tho

Thanks L

NB 990: Classic or Dad? Or douche?

Also, is 990 THEE classic? Or do other 99x count. Or is there a non-99x that is also classic?

I for one love the styling. Love the feel. But they really have an arrogant boomer thing about them. Extremely white-guy. Nevertheless lately I've been tempted to get a pair, haven't had a 99x in about 15 yrs.

Also, do they have to be grey

i had a pair but they were hand me downs. i wore them for a few months anyway, until a hole appeared at the bottom. i hated them and myself the entire time

i notoriously have no shoe style, though. i prefer bare feet, and i think 99.99999999999% of every runners shoe of all time is ugly

they all have "speed holes"

room: *nothing*
shoe designer: stares intensely
room: *nothing*
shoe designer: adds another racing stripe

the 990 is def the "one that started it all" i kinda like the later ones tho with the smaller N 997, 998 etc

90s boomer runner is an extremely potent aesthetic, new balance, saab, salmon...

it's not just sports shoes. the entire shoe genre and classification is centuries beyond ruin. i have a feeling the shoe scene in 240K BC was better

Been wearing boots lately, all sneakers been impressing me as doughy lately

*douchey

if the main goals are just to protect the foot and look fashionable, it seems like there should be sooooooooo many other options

but doughy does work! xp

you guys should consider starting a we hate sneakers thread im sure it would be scintillating

i would but i don't think it would get enough ` foot traffic

ayye

i need a new running shoe actually should i buy a good one or a bad one

the eternal question

I would definitely contribute to a sneaker griefers thread

Recently bought some vans and they ran small.

Also They need to bring back the gum sole…white is just too bright

shoes shoes shoes, ack!

Calstars otm fucking hate the lack of gum soles out there

For real

Clay I got these a few months ago and am actually pleased with how they look

always buy the bad shoe

No offense tracer but those look like some walmart $19.95 specials

lol you should see the other brooks options

also those are named after me

you gotta carve an R on there, you just have to

shoes are terrible

thanks for the rec trace, I actually like the look of that pair! but I’m more of a black and grey guy, idk, maybe I will branch out some. I need to go to a shoe store and talk to a shoe guy and have him look at my feet (in a normal way!) and say “here’s your problem, pal” bc my feet are definitely very weirdly shaped and I’ve only started running recently

anyways i went on down to the shoe store and talked to some guys and bought the suacony ride 14 which is not a very cool or pretty shoe but man does it feel good in stride. was told it was a good for beginners type jack of all trades running shoe and so this is what i wear now! love shoes!

*saucony obv

Looks like a shoe you’d see on the ground next to a dumpster
