- Nike trying to be tacti-cool?Continuity
- Objectively, this is uglier than a jar of pickled arseholes.Continuity
- it's a mashup between a Nike AF sneaker and a Balenciaga one!
It's a custom job, not available for retail

- There are no ugly or beautiful sneakers, only interesting and not interesting.drgs
- I'm pretty sure there's ugly ... and I'm looking right at it.Continuity
- I dont challange the fact that they're ugly. There is a threshold for "ugly" above which ugly becomes interesting.drgs
- In the same way, a lot of nice looking sneakers are plain and boring, and not interesting for this thread imhodrgs
- formed-1
- Ooh, I like those first ones.
They're... expensive, aren't they?
*googles*.
A bit...Nairn - https://www.brunomag…
I go through trainers too quick to justify thatNairn - The brand imprint's a little ... 'not me'.Nairn
- Yeah, definitely for brand whores, just like the Zegna ones below. Look for Cole Haan sales. I got a few nice, super simple pairs for 50% off.formed
- (I do care about brands, but not enough to pay $400+ for sneakers)formed
- Ooh, I like those first ones.

Can anyone recommend a good replica Jordan site?
- ebayformed
- There are lots and you can't tell quality. Looking for recommendations.Hayzilla
- DHGate: If in the US, use the app and Apple Pay to pay for items. Other ways won't work.fyoucher1
- ^ Cool thanks. Still a bit of a minefield. Hopefully someone has a link to a good seller. Out of interest what do you mean other ways won't work?Hayzilla

Replicas of the original Colchester Rubber Co. basketball shoes made in the late 1890s.

I've had these for 5+ years and I just had to Shoe Goo the sole back on these. Seem like Nikes "sustainable" glue doesn't hold up that well.

Collab with skate label Pass Port, I'd love a pair but yeesh, $$$
- It's like if Nike had sex with Timberland & Doc MartinYakuZoku
- and Kermit the Frog and Animal then threw it all up.fooler
- Ewnb
- Aren't these going for like $150 on the resale market? Not terrible, relatively speaking...duckseason
- I don't get these hiking shoe laces. Otherwise I like them.Longcopylover
- It’s just Nikes in another fucking color and some ugly hiking boot laces. Jesus Christ it’s not something uniquemonospaced
- passport to douche bag land.shapesalad
- Sadsalad lashing out at the world again. Poor guy.BuddhaHat
- Dunk resale prices are weird AF. I occasionally check prices and saw that my roller derby lows are going for $3000 avg. for no reason at all.face_melter
- Why people pay more than $150 for any pair of Nike's is beyond me.formed
- Formed. 'Cos there's ONLY been 100,000 pair made. They are 'Rare Collectibles'.
Lol.microkorg - lol. I hope they come with those parachute pants!formed

GOLA - Made in England.
Not sure how I feel about these, my first thought was 'Brexit shoes'.
- Kinda classic, should be in the 80's-90's thread.shapesalad
- You wore these or Hi-Tek at school, you got rinsed.faxion
- I have worn both! lol...shapesalad
- Now THE shoe of the Brexit voter.shapesalad
- I had a pair of these, minus the flag, when I was a student.Chimp
- Faxion speaks the truth... you turned at my school in these or Hi-Tek, you was basically letting the kids know you chose death lolnecromation
- Hi-Tek & Gola were indeed starter kits for being bullied in 90's UK.Hayzilla
- gola's and reeboks will get you called out for being a cop here. walsh seem pretty decent looking for british made gear
https://www.normanwa…kingsteven - what faxion saidmicrokorg
- my first thought was samba rip offsfooler
- It's like adidas Sambas and Onitsuka Tigers had an affair, and forgot the condoms.Continuity
- @Continuity is correct; Sambas AND Tigers.ideaist
- So, quite apart from the fact they're derivative and ho-hum as sneakers, what about them would get you bullied?Continuity
- if memory serves, they were 'budget brands', so you were poor if you wore them.Nairn
- Ah. Same thing when I was in school with Levi's Orange Tab jeans. Turn up in those, and you're telling every kid in the school you want a violent death.Continuity
- For the same 'budget brand' reason.Continuity
- Go Samba, or Tiger if you like the style else you'll get your head flushed down the loo by the bigger kids.robthelad
- Ha, stateside it was LA Gear if you didn't have the LA Lights.garbage
- British Knights were the same way, but a bit more complicated if you lived in a city school, because Crips / sons of Crips would wear BKs.garbage
- BK = Blood Killergarbage
- I had a pair of brown BK trainers. For shame, my vague memory of them is that they were AWFUL. I thought I was so cool, hahaNairn
- (where I lived, at least, they were seen as VERY cool.. by prats, I realise now)Nairn
- Haha BK and Troop. Never had a pair of either but a friend was daft on 'em.
Yes Gola were very budget trainers.microkorg - You could MAYBE get away with Hi-Tec's at school but definitely not Gola. Only thing beneath these would be Plimsoles or 'Marks and Spencer Two-Stripes'microkorg
- lol microkorg, yep 2 stripes were the bottom of the pile but yes Gola kids had a tough time of it also.fadein11
- Brexit shoes made me lolSimonFFM
- BK and Troop were viable alternatives in early 90's England. Troop has an interesting story I didn't know... https://en.wikipedia…Hayzilla
- @nairn lol I'm dying at the idea of brown BKs. Pre-camouflaged for the toilet.garbage
- Hi-Tec were for weird dads who played badminton and drove Volvos.Fax_Benson
- ^ You are of course referring to Silver Shadows.Hayzilla
- I think Fax means the Hi-Tec squash shoes there, but yes - Silver Shadows were popular with nice but square kids and Dads.Nairn
- They're almost quite cool. Almost, but also entirely not.
https://www.bigfoots…Nairn - ^ I don't hate them.Continuity

Probably the only “cool” shoes I had as a kid. Pre-SB, this was Nike’s first foray into skate shoes.
Behold the Nike Air Choad, currently $800 on Ebay.
Just needs to be said twice: Nike made a shoe named Choad.
- Damn! Can any shoe look more Poser than thisnb
- I remember these! i wanted them so bad but was no chance here in the UKnecromation
- @nb These were released in the height of the puffy monstrosity era. Duffs, DVS, Airwalk, DC. Pretty much every shoe looked kook.garbage
- @necro lol, I'm glad somebody else remembers them.garbage

- Is the hacky sack included?duckseason

Adidas x Disney NMD's
sadly women's sizes, really dug these!
- Why is there a biscuit stuck to the side of it?shapesalad
- they're for ladies who prepMrT
- I wear my NMD's as house shoes now. When I first got them was impressed as was like walking on air. So bouncy and floaty.microkorg
- But theres absolutely no side support on these shoes. So easy to go over on your ankle or for the side of toes to move out over the sole to left/right.microkorg
- I'm guessing the 'biscuit' is to try give some support, but think it's more visual than functional.microkorg

Berlin’s 032c and adidas Originals are back, this time tapping into the publication and label’s underground notions by reworking the Three Stripes’ Campus sneaker with a “Prince Albert” piercing.
