I order shoes specifically to make them beaters but then once I have them in hand I end up cleaning them and not wanting to dirty them :/
Cat wanted to play with laces so I put the shoes on him to chill
>>12210827
How the hell do you even do that? that color looks so solid.

>>12211520
literally found another pair of af1's yesterday for a fiver
old ones are left new ones are right. Gotta clean em up just a little bit though
>>12211248

I haven't had sneakers in years, I should probably take care more of the suede on this one though.

>>12211807
My pair is fairly okay. Sandro is having a sale, and these are going for around 120 usd right now.
>>12211811
No and no, but thanks for judging my lifestyle and hygiene based on beater slackers.
>>12211854

>not doing manual labour in ur prada sneaks

>>12211770
Why don't they put the heel panel underneath the swoosh on KOs? They'd look so much better
black lo-top slp.
the soles are fucking garbage though. i thought i could get over the shit soles but it's a fucking hazard in anything but dry urban environments. on the plus side i've had them for two years now and they stitching has held up great.
>>12211254
No. My ones are like this. They just gotta have time to get old and dirty. Not rocket science, man.
bought someone else's beaters to make my beaters
should be easy enough to clean

are you fucking gay?
>>12211215
A while ago people were soaking their soles in tea to get that look
>>12212154
i don't get the correlation
they're just shoes
>>12211215
different materials age differently, so the midsole/outsole of the af1, and a lot of other shoes, will yellow before the upper
>>12212080
sure
Campus
These were my last set of beaters. When the sole on the other shoe finally came off, I decided it was time for them to go. Had them for nearly 20 years now, sad to see them go.

That fresh yellowed sole and duct tape look.
>>12212538
the upper does look brand new, its like you put duct tape on new shoes...
>>12212570
That's because he did. He wanted to have the beater look like a stupid poseur
I can guarentee there are no holes or damage of any substantial kind underneath that tape

Working in a car bodyshop destroys clothes. It's why I taped them up to extend their lifespan while at work.

>>12216369
I work as a forest ranger, and I live outside a city, so I spend almost all of my time on anything but concrete. Still, for those times when I do need to take a trip into the city, I wouldn't say they're that bad. Sure, I guess you could find more comfortable boots to wear on sidewalks, but then again you could just go barefoot and wear those kevlar socks that protect your feet from damage if you're looking for maximum comfy. But as far as durability and practicality goes, these boots win hands down over anything I've ever worn.
I don't understand why people would thrift sneakers. The best part about sneakers is that they'll mold to your feet - why would you want to buy someone else's broken in funk?

>>12214145
How new are they? And how skinny are your ankles?
Alright, I have two pairs of shoes. Some beat up grey sperrys that make me look like an Uber Normie, and then some 3 year old utterly destroyed black and tan gazelles. I have used the gazelles for putting up drywall, jackhammering, running wheelbarrows of mud in the rain, working in and cleaning up a kitchen. For a big restaurant, and plenty of other dirty shit. They are absolutely destroyed, but sperrys are too Normie tier for me. If I put these gazelles in the washer would they be acceptable to wear? If you can't tell I'm a poorfag.
>>12219999

Jesus cristh dude
There's a limit for everything
My beaters. They don't look too bad because I take somewhat good care of them but I've had them for almost 2 years now. I wear them like 3-4 times a week because once you tie them they're literally just slip ons and I'm a lazy fuck.
It's the only boost shoe I own, and to be honest I don't get the hype around boost and how comfortable it is. To me the most comfortable part of the shoe is the primeknit.

I don't get the concept of "beaters."
I have a pair of adidas sambas that I wear if I ever need to do outdoor/messy work, but otherwise, I just rotate my regular shoes, take care of them, and dress appropriately for the weather.
Do you guys just purposefully wear your "beaters" into the ground, or something?
>>12221717
stan smiths are iconic
>>12221721
people have different definitions of beaters
to me it's just a shoe you wear more than any other pair
for the most part, i clean my shoes after every wear, but with "beaters" i'll hold off for a couple weeks

>people have different definitions of beaters
>to me it's just a shoe you wear more than any other pair
Oh, I have pairs that I wear more than others. I don't consider them beaters, because I do take care of them. I suppose that's my definition of "beaters" - shoes that you don't care if they get dirty/messed up, and that you purposefully wear in such situations.
How come fads are rotating so insanely fast in the past couple years? AF1s were tired as fuck cringy just recently and seemed to be out of rotation for at least several years. But months later! they are back? Same goes for other trends, like the different colors combos and so on.

>natural yellowing is just leaving them out and exposing them to air
As in not keeping them in the shoe rack in my closet?
>>12224375
ideally you'd want to leave your shoes actually outside on days that you can, but since that's not an option for a lot of people, just leaving them out of the box is fine too
it takes a long time though
if you're impatient, just buy a yellowed pair off grailed for cheap and scrub that shit down
will these make okay beaters if they get worn the fuck out?
>>12225024
if by worn the fuck out, you mean the midsole yellows and the upper stays white, then yeah
Bought these 2 years ago, they have been through some shit but managed to clean them up and here's the outcome. Quite durable shoes.

'been through some shit'
I can testify to this. This particular pair of shoes had a particularly difficult break up with a girlfriend, as well as the ongoing situation with the drink and the gambling debt they struggled with. Glad to to see things are looking brighter.
Why do you all have such little feet?

how do i get such rips? those are sick
So, the suede mud guard on my beaters are coming off a little. Do I use glue to fix it? What kind of glue? Don't wanna do unnecessary damage to the leather by using the wrong glue.
>>12225739
Just looked up shoe glue on amazon and some glues specifically for shoe repair came up so I'd guess those

The left one was from skating and it tore almost immediately since its my front foot. I don't know what I expected. The right one just started creasing bad and eventually got worse and worse. I've had them for multiple years so I'm sure that helped. Just make a small incision on a creased part and let it rip on its own.
>>12225697
Make a cut along the seam and give it a slight rip. Then over time the rip will spread naturally.

Again not obvious since we can't see your outfit, but I wasn't saying that you were trying to look classing or failing; just that most people I see wearing Argyle are cringe-worthy. No need to be defensive.
