I can tell you right now that a great majority of high fashion brands take inspiration from nike (and other basketball sneakers). honestly i think those Y3s are really ugly but there's prolly loads of adidas silhouettes that're similar.
buy used/secondhand/ebay. try rod lavers, reebok classic, saucony shadow, etc. if you can get away from hi-tops

lololol. Op stop buying into /fa/s sneaker bullshit. Half the sneakers on here that /fa/ like (namely Geos) most people in real life think look like utter shit, clown shoes, and yet another form of compensation/ little-man syndrome.

To be honest, you can cop good black high top sneakers for anywhere from $50-150. People on the street will just think 'Yep, he's wearing high-top sneakers'. Ordinary people don't analyse the shit out of your brands like they do on /fa/, they just take in your look as a whole and then don't really think twice about it.

Besides, sneakers are street shoes. Niggers in the hood wear them. You aren't going to impress anyone buying 300+ fucking sneakers, you just look like a twat who doesn't know how to spend their money right. 300+ is the realm of high quality dress boots/shoes.

Just go to a store, find a high top you like, buy it and wear it. I got a pair of leather high tops for $100. The leather had no texture or defined shape to it when I bought them. Now they have custom creases and line to how they fit on my foot an how I walk, all the while not looking like some retard who forgot to take his shoes off after working at the community circus.
