I'm failing to see exactly what's appealing about these shoes.

I do like the stitching, and the holes are a nice way of branding the shoe without being over the top or ruining the predominantly white aesthetic.

But the small toebox I'm not a huge fan of (maybe because I'm a size 11US with flat/wide feet and it might emphasize the size of my feet heaps), and the green accents on the heel and tongue... I mean, jeez. Again, could just be me but I'm not a fan of a green that saturated.

What do you love/hate about stan smiths /fa/? And whats your opinion on the black variation?

i like the fact that the shoe's silhouette has "weight" to it
it looks very soft and comfortable
like a marshmallow

the accents are eh but it seems pretty inconsequential to me

I've never seen Stans irl, so I really can't comment. (Except I've seen black ones but eh on the black)

Personally, I really like Jack Purcells. I bought them a year and a half ago when I didn't know shit, and they have really grown on me. I am thinking of copping the old leather ones since the quality is so much better.

I don't particularly like them. I hate the leather adidas uses, and the shape is way too bulbous for how most people are styling them (black skinny jeans). I think they'd work best with cropped pants, wide or tapered, or just wide pants that break over the shoes.

>> No.9527155

Oh well, pot's legal here fuck you.

>>9527155
I have the NEWER canvas ones.
They are uncomfortable, and the insole blocked airflow so I had to cut it up. I mean, they are still fine for the price but you know, they really aren't comfy and quality is on par with normal converse. You can get the old pair from Zelenshoes still, so I'd check there.

That being said, the newer leather ones are shit so I'd avoid those and get the canvas. Otherwise, it's really up to you.

>> No.9527416

>>9527267
Thank you so much for your input man. I really appreciate it.

I really like the newer model -- I don't like the tongue on the older models. But I'll definitely get the canvas ones. I have some canvas Chucks in the high top flavor and they're pretty comfy for me, so I doubt I'll have a problem with the Jack Purcells.

if thats ur main issue (which seems like its not, but one of the problems) dw. I'm a size us 12, n they look fine on me, not clown like at all. toe box is eh, but the over all shape of it doesnt change, and defs doesn't make your feet long incredibly huge.

n the black version is poo tier

it looks ok, affordable, and readily available. even if you loathe them over time it isn't a huge loss.

I wish they brought back the Carl Gruber Tour 2s though. It's like the stans except mesh uppers that make it really breathable. Oh well they're selling a primeknit version of stans.

I never liked them really, they are bulky and ugly as hell, far from 'minimalistic' (which is what most apparently see in them) and by now overplayed as well.
They aren't as bad as All-Stars but they are up there. But then I also don't like CP Achilles and some other /fa/ meme shoes.

OP here. Copped some white whitlocks the other day. Had to return some Vans and could only exchange them. They're slightly beige rather than completely white. I prefer the silhouette more in comparison to the SS'. No contrasting accents or visible branding (except for a small beige vans tag at the rear). Not overly stressed about the quality of the leather. It'll be interesting to see what they look after they discolor/yellow with wear. Constructive criticism/opinions?
