We had questions about sneakers for wide feet few threads ago. I got Air Forces for myself, and I noticed the soles take quite some room, so I’m going to replace them with flat standard ones.

>>18109592
Like this.

Finally but the bullet and got myself a pair

>>18109592
as someone with wide feet, i find my air forces to be pretty roomy after removing the insole (as i do with all my shoes). you don't need to replace it if you need more room.

>>18109711
I'm pretty Princess-and-the-pea, but good to know that works, too, thanks!

>>18109584
What are sneakers made in US, EU, Japan? I recently learned of these nippon sneakers and might buy a pair

>>18109779
why? they just look like chucks just buy chucks if you buy those people will think you are too poor to buy even $30 chucks and you will have spent like 4X the money to look poor
makes no sense bro

>>18109592
heres my wide sizing shoes pasta
!! BE AWARE MANY SHOES ADVERTISED AS WIDE SIZE ONLY HAVE A LARGER UPPER, THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY WIDE, THE LAST IS THE SAME AS THE NARROW/NORMAL SIZES!!

>new balance (only the $200 flagship made in usa models)
>some sketchers
>some vans (online only)
>some hiking shoes like altras, keens, etc
>running shoes
>orthodic dadshoes meant for morbidly obese people. the biggest company making them is headquartered next door to the doctor from my 600lb life.

>>18109866
chucks retail for 65 and chuck 70s for 75.
shoes like pottery/moonstar is significantly higher quality. the canvas is much thicker. the vulcanization is much better. the tape doesn't delaminate from the upper like on chucks. they will age better, last longer, and you will get more wears out of them. for the tiny price difference its a no brainer. chuck taylor sells a similar quality shoe called converse addict. it costs more than shoes like pottery.
>but it looks somewhat similar
>with none of the substance behind it
pure poorfaggery. its like renting rims.

>>18109869
Nice, thanks!
>ONLY HAVE A LARGER UPPER
That goes a long way. For wider soles, a good rule of thumb is that most sneakers with higher soles got them, like Air Forces, Uptempos, Fila Disruptors, etc.

>>18109779
New Balance's 990 line is probably the most famous example, but there's also Victory Sportswear, San Antonio Shoes and select Sperrys as well

>>18109779
Pretty sure almost all “common proejects alternative” shoes are made in Europe/USA

How did i do?

>>18110104
Yeah, nice.

I like these, they're pretty cool

>>18110281
I like them too

>Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 SD

The H*CK is wrong with those prices?

what are some sneakers for manlets

>>18110768

>>18110768
They know weebs will pay for it

>>18109639
They look less stiff than sambas.

i actually own moonstar shit and the quality is mid as fuck bro what are you on

>>18111081
Kinda hard to pull off, but if you do, they're something.

why are $1000 sneakers worn by poorly dressed chinese and most of are untouched in a vault.

>>18111281
>poorly dressed chinese
They probably dress better than you, you just never heard of CDG or Junya Watanabe

Why are NB 550's so popular

>>18111988
They arent, it’s not 2022 anymore

>>18111992
Yes, they are. Stop being such a dumb chud.

>>18110281
I owned a pair two years ago. Quality control can be a little iffy but I loved mine. Ended up getting the Muslin Pink Foam 97s after.

>>18109779
nice chucks

i literally cannot afford to buy shoes
How are those $130? Gazelles are even more expensive
And literally nothing's ever on sale
Women's equivalent costs $90?? I could maybe pay like $100 but this is retarded, and it's not just these two, you literally cannot buy anything for $100 except shit like pumas and some failed color style poverty versions on sale

>>18112019
Uh yes you can, just smoke less cigarettes and mcdonalds for a week, even if you make a 30k a year it should he fine
Or if you are a third worlder then walk down to the nearest market and buy the same shoe for five pesos

>>18112025
im europoor but that's no relevant
I don't work, I'm a student and I _have_ the money it's just outside of my budget
I can buy so much shit for $130 that i cannot justify it. If i could wear them for more than a year before they disintegrate I'd maybe reconsider, but holy fuck
i checked and air force 1s wet up $30 since 2020

>>18112032
>budget
Whats the point of saving up? Everything you put under your pillow has inflated to worthlessness
And what are you saving up for anyway? You’ll never own your own house

>>18112033
i'm saving up so i dont have to get a job to buy shit when i need to buy something

>>18112041
You’ll break
You’ll be wearing Ricks to school a year from now I guarantee

>>18112046
there is no force in this universe stronger than my unwillingness to work

stockx sometimes has reasonable offers but they charge $30+ for shipping + fees

>>18112019
>>18112032
just go on online retailers like zalando when it's the sales season, you'll find something decent for 50-70.

>>18112089
Lyst and about you are also great places to find deals

>>18111998
NTA but theyre definitely not, they’re incredibly normie. Theyre even more played out than dunks/jordans, some dunks you can still use, 550s youll be laughed at your back. DO NOT use 550s in 2024.

>>18112307
What are the best newbies right now

>>18112307
You're exaggerating, retard. The vast majority of people besides sneakerhead blacks are going to even know what a 550 is

Posted in last bread about getting air force 1s. Got a pair in black an white and love them. Thinking already of getting another pair to keep clean, should i cop these or nah?

>>18112374
Those definitely look like a pair of sneakers
so sure if the price is right

>>18112378
>Those definitely look like a pair of sneakers
I was asking for opinion anon ):<

but they seem to be the going rate for AF1s in my shithole post-national state, $160 cad

>>18112380
sorry for being facetious. But AF1's don't exactly have very much to talk about. They're just a pair of white sneakers
They look fine, $160 cad sounds a lot for a pair of those when regular ones without a tiny red checkmark are like $60 less
If you want them and it's not an issue, then yeah you should probably get and I doubt you'd regret it, as they're not something you'd have trouble incorporating into most outfits you'll likely piece together
have fun
I like them

>>18112390
Thanks anon, all is forgiven. I appreciate the well thought out response.

Where do you live where AF1s are $100? US im guessing?

>>18112734
>Where do you live where AF1s are $100? US im guessing?
The unpopular colorways are always on sale somewhere, check on lyst for instance or any nike outlet

Even the triple whites get discounted sometimes

i'm starting to come to the conclusion that sneakers just suck ass and are a normie trap.
i think i might finally buy a pair of boots and become one of those fags.

>comically low quality materials is the norm
>overpriced resellers ruin all the joy in the cool looking ones
>wind up with like 30 pairs to go with various outfits because dork colors
>fall apart fast when you wear them
>not cheap anymore
>seen as aspirational status symbols to chinese and indian immigrants
>theres no difference in quality between a $30 one and a $30,000 one
>associated with blacks, urban culture, basketball, rap, etc
>SPORTS
>inherently childish looking
>nobody takes you serious while wearing them
>women see them as virginal

am i wrong about sneakers? i don't think so...
my collection feels like a wall of shame right now...

>Hypebeasts & sneakercon attendees are indistinguishable from this guy

its time for me to hang up my shoelaces sneakersisters...

>>18112374
>>18112380
my mom used to pay like $30-60 for them they're not really worth more than that
af1s that arent the triple whites are dork shoes even 3rd graders would bully you for the ones you posted when they came out
lol its so funny that this is a 'popular' shoe now they're just cycling through the stuff they used to sell at pay less shoe source in the 90s and making them tiktok trends. bahahaha you kids were wearing sambas last year? and 550s? hahahaha

>>18112946
Is this a copypasta?

>resellers bloating prices
>in 2024
Lmao
Everything is sitting

>>18112951
>popular shoe
No it’s not, just this general has a lot of people projecting their taste

AF1s are great as a first “real” sneaker for autists who are afraid of standing out too much. It’s a safe option, easy to style etc

>>18109584
For me it's the AJ4 - "Vietnam fucking shits"

>>18113036
should be in all orange

>>18112307
>use shoes
ESL consoomer, begone.

How come nobody likes the reimagined 1s? I get that the sued ones look weird but, the yellow pair have really nice materials yet they’re in stock and on sale 3 months later

>>18112309
1906s were the shoe New Balance was pushing last year and the 1000 is the shoe for this year. If you wanna be on trend as backed by the labels, those are the shoes.

however the 998, 990 and the 574 are all potential good, but not as "trendy" options

Any recommendations for shoes that actually dont look big even in big sizes. I hate wearing big shoes even though my feet are big (size 12 US) because its highlighted by the fact that I'm only 5'7. Wasnt even an insecurity of mine until a friend made a joke about it once. I bought adidas ZX22s cuz someone posted them here once and they looked decent, but they are way too big and I will never wear them just for that reason. Help an anon out.

option 1

>>18114393
option 2

option 3

>fucked up on the travis raffle and didn't get in
it's fucking over

>>18114393
>>18114394
>>18114396
2 or 3 depending on what your wardrobe looks like. 2 is probably more versatile
1 has the samba colorway which is weird and makes it look like a fake samba

>>18114398
>When you missed out on the raffle for the ugly ass shoe with the retard strap

>>18114398
Just buy the reps

>>18109584
Just bought these can’t effing wait to get em.

>>18114472
>>18114476
resale is literally $1000 you'd be insane not to immediately offload it
but desu i would have rocked it if it didn't have that dogshit strap

>>18114480
Nobody is actually buying it, it will drop to 400-500 like the sail version

lets fucking gooo

>>18114375
>ZX 22
Clearly, they got a massive sole with that extra length on the heels, they are designed to stand out. As for looks, you'd need something like Sambas, Stan Smiths, summer canvas sneakers, plimsoles, vans. But these fit differently, I don't know whether you also got wide feet. However, the soles and the shape are not the only factors for standing out, the colour is, too, e. g. white sneakers on a dark outfit.

>>18114393
>>18114471
>which is weird and makes it look like a fake samba
Disagreed, but yes, it's a different look, 80s/ 90s tennis shoey, how I see it.
>>18114471
>depending on what your wardrobe looks like
Agreed, wardrobe and fits you are going for. They all look nice.

I just found white 550s for $40 on clearance at Marshalls

>>18114644
they look great bro.
>>18114471
>2 or 3 depending on what your wardrobe looks like.
im warming up to 3.

>>18114394
this one for sure

Got me some Air Max 90 off ebae, seem some rare collab, prolly worth a lot.

>>18114644
You could prob sell those for like 100 bucks depending on the size. I tried finding some and most sizes are sold out everywhere

>find a sneaker I like
>remember I am not a black man or a skinny girl, so I am not allowed to wear them

>>18114751
Kek those are utter dogshit, Kappa's is an absolutely chalked brand

can anyone recommend white or off white sneakers with a larger toebox? even if I go a complete size up meme smiths still run tight. c 85s fit me pretty well, but i'm tired of them

left or right? im kinda leaning right..

>>18115312
If you are tired of the c 85, I'm guessing similar ones like Air Force and Champion Rebound etc. are out as well?
>>18115654
Correct, I mean right.

>>18114961
do americans really?

Does the black tip look retarded?

>>18115859
Nah, these are good

>>18115859
kind of

>>18115859
>>18115891
oh you mean on those shoes, then not

>>18115871
>>18115893
Nice, thank you.
Kinda prefer the unicolor tip/sole but those are SDs and cost twice the price.

>>18115857
Wear jordans to weddings? Yes they do

>>18115948
that's a black, not an american

>>18115958
>that’s not an american, that’s someone americans worship as saints

imagine paying for fake leather

>>18115680
thanks for the suggestions. i actually never tried afs because they look kind of cartoony or blocky to me, but i see some that actually don't look too bad so maybe i'll give them a shot

>>18109584
What happens if you rub leather conditioner or mink oil onto suede? Will it turn flat and eventually to more regular leather?

Don't mind the blue being suede but would really prefer the black parts to be more regular learher

>>18116443
No you can’t turn nubuck into full grain or top grain leather you’re best option is to blast it with waterproof spray coating
