I don't have a pair of sneakers, and I never lurk here
Generally speaking are there any brands I should avoid? How much should i spend?
I'm a 22 yo college boy
The sticky doesn't elaborate on this

I'm willing to spend $100-200
What's wrong with Nike ?

There's nothing wrong with Nikes, most of this board is just autists and new niggas so they truly believe Adidas has "utterly rekt" Nike because they've had the better releases for like the last 2-3 years, even though that's probably not true because Nike drops a LOT of shoes every year and it's hard for even a dedicated sneakerhead to monitor every single decent Nike shoe that comes out yearly.

I'm going to be non-ironic here and actually give you some suggestions.
>Adidas Sambas in Black
>Adidas Stan Smith in White
/fa/ will call you a basic bitch, but who really gives a shit? Just don't wear them with everything, that's really being basic. Match the color of your sneakers to the rest of your outfit (Stans for light, Sambas for dark)
>Converse Chucks
All of these can be had for fairly cheap and they're pretty versatile.
Have to ask though, why don't you own sneakers?

I just copped Nike Dunk Lux RTs which I think are doper than anything Adidas did last year except maybe Yeezy 750s. The newer Top Tens are doodoocaca.
I'm still a Nike guy.

>Nike Dunk Lux RTs
Those are fucking sick, Newer TTs ARE trash
Always gonna be a Nike guy, can never betray Dunks or Air Maxes

There's nothing wrong with any of the major brands really in terms of quality. Just look around for something you think you like. You generally won't pay more than $200 for sneakers unless it's a meme hype release.
