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

cerebral halsey (rip van wanko), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:20 (two years ago) link

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

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 00:33 (two years ago) link

they all have "speed holes"

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

calstars, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:11 (two years ago) link

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

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:16 (two years ago) link

but doughy does work! xp

cerebral halsey (rip van wanko), Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:16 (two years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:21 (two years ago) link

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

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:25 (two years ago) link

ayye

Clay, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:27 (two years ago) link

the eternal question

lag∞n, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:30 (two years ago) link

I would definitely contribute to a sneaker griefers thread

calstars, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:51 (two years ago) link

Recently bought some vans and they ran small.

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

calstars, Saturday, 3 July 2021 01:53 (two years ago) link

Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Saturday, 3 July 2021 03:46 (two years ago) link

adam, Saturday, 3 July 2021 11:09 (two years ago) link

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

calstars, Saturday, 3 July 2021 13:25 (two years ago) link

Tracer Hand, Saturday, 3 July 2021 14:08 (two years ago) link

shoes are terrible

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 July 2021 22:42 (two years ago) link

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!

bespoke sausages (seandalai), Thursday, 14 October 2021 23:15 (two years ago) link

it looks like sweet n tarts

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 14 October 2021 23:29 (two years ago) link

i also like it but someone itt called out my crayon barf nikes in the past.

i'm super happy with metcon 7s for a gym shoe, they are extremely comfortable and solidly built. they also look much better than the metcon 6, which were ugly af.

I’m rocking some budget sauconys atm, shame
But they do have nice grip

calstars, Thursday, 14 October 2021 23:33 (two years ago) link

been hiking shoe hunting of late. just the most abysmal options out there

you could try trail running shoes. they're a little better looking but not much.
