I also got some LL Beans earlier this year and a pair of nice Thursday Boots for Christmas last year.  I'm a regular boot man!

very weird to see kids wearing all of the shoes I used to covet when I was 13yo.
I think the Nike Bo Jackson cross trainers where the ultimate status symbol.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I had a pair of the orange/blue/gray bo’s, the orange/white/black agassi’s, the yellow/green david robison pumps, black charles barkleys, and first red/black/white air jordans. Nike heyday was in my prime yard mowing day$.

Now my old ass flat feet can only wear brooks.

The Cortez have increased $20 in price with this new release. Used to be $70 like three years ago .

$70 is not what it used to be

it’s pretty much agreed upon in the sneaker community that nike mumped up the pricing on these

I sported a pair of these in the 80s when I arrived in Manhattan. Loved the spot-bilt coaches shoes.

Outside of a round of golf in maybe the 70s or 80s, I can’t think of a single instance where these could be worn unironically.

Thanks, they are very comfortable as well.

Update, in the 18 months since that purchase, I have fully sunk into sneakers. It is my midlife crisis.

My second pair, and to this point last pair of non Nikes, were these Stan Smith Pride shoes


I'm up to 16 pairs, essentially a pair a month. My latest buys were this on recommendation from 'clams

and these because I saw them when I went to nike.com to get the shoes that 'clams recommended

what do you treat them with? Is it to prevent stains? I rarely buy white shoes because they get dirty/stained so fast.

Yeah, you can find sprays online and at shoe stores. They help a lot. That mesh is a frustrating dirt/dust/everything not white magnet.

yeah, its rough for athletic type shoes that have the light mesh. I take a look. I always assumed those things didn't do much. thanks

I don't know why but I hate spending money on shoes. I buy probably one pair every 2 years when my wife tells me it's embarrassing for her to be seen with me in them.

And I buy probably the cheapest lamest shoes on earth. Right now I have gray and orange under armour shoes. Like wtf?
