but one stars are better OP.

We get it, you're a poor, uncreative teenager

>>12551755
There's nothing really wrong with them desu.
Just been done so many times and people think they're like a staple sign of 'I know my fashion' when the reality is you just look a pleb.

had a pair that I got for $30 on sale fucked them up skating. regret not buying 2 pairs since they where so cheap and so fucking comfortable

>>12551755
What is it about these that makes them look so juvenile? Not even converse look so childish

>>12551967
it's probably just who wears them

>>12551917
This. The older I get the more pathetic trend-hopping seems. Just find a personal style that works with your body/face/hair etc. and own the shit out of it; fuck trends.

I live near a high school and the amount of kids that wear zanerobe (jogggers), old skools/ski his, skate-brand tee's, dad-hats and herschel backpacks is insane. i know this is overused in political contexts but they really seem like mindless sheeple.

>>12551974
you have to account for SOME fashion trends though. wearing skinny jeans in the mid 00s and you wear a retard. pretty much like wearing bootcut jeans now

>>12551982
of course in the context of your decade you have to follow trends (i'm not going to wear a double-breasted suit and trilby around). i guess i'm talking more about the micro-trends that live and die within the span of a year and a half.

Anybody have better alternatives other than one stars

>>12551988
for what? a summer shoe? wear whatever the fuck u want man. adidas sambas, stan smiths, converse, vans etc. no one in their right mind will say they look out of place unless they have some serious issues.

>>12551999
trips speak the truth. At the end of the day if you actively care about what shoes other people are wearing you probably have some kind of mental disorder

>>12551861
legit skating a pair right now, and they're the perfect mix of style, boardfeel, and can pretty much go with anything.

>>12551755
These shoes remind me of the 7th grade. Fun times but that was 9 years ago.

I'm 26 and I occasionally wear a pair of grey old skools I got when I was 14, they kind of look like shit

Favorite shoes I own. I like them much better in monotone.

>>12553281
Wonderful color. Nice cop

This aint news. But they're nice. I especially like the gum soles

Pls respect your feet

At least buy other vans models

fit and look so much better than Converse, until Chuck 2's evened things out

>>12553299
I've read that shoes like Vans and Chucks are better for your feet because of the flat sole, and thick squishy Nikes and such are bad for your feet. is it actually the other way round or is everyone just full of it?!

>>12553299
back the fuck off??

>>12553312
It really doesn't matter, I'm just saying old skools are uncomfortable as fuck and everyone should look into the newer vans models like TNT SG.

>>12553319
Pls don't stab me with your pocket knife

>>12553321
but theyre all beefy and gross like an actual skate shoe...

ima post here again but has anyone tried classic slip ons with wide feet
how did u fare
I can't fit into them but I still want a pair for beaters

>>12551755
what fucking year is it lmao

>>12553835
trick question, but those are a timeless staple, so it doesn't matter

>>12553321
>old skools are uncomfortable as fuck
someone haven't heard about the Pro version

>>12551982
Wearing skinny jeans now is on par with boot cuts

>>12553808
I've got decently wide, flat feet and I fit into mine with the help of a shoe horn. Started to hurt after wearing for a long period of time though.

i needed a new pair of old skools but got tired of everyone having the same pair so i got something slightly different and i love em

>>12554732
>selling old skools
how desperate for money are you

>>12554546
I would say it depends on what shirts you wear, but I'd say yeah. Get a second opinion tho, since I haven't been here too long.

>>12554977
i wouldn't suck your dick for it, if that's what you're asking

>>12554771
oh shit famalam
owned them for like 2 months and they're great, but you should know that there's a little more rubber on the toe compared to regular old skools, it's a really unnoticable thought, also platform is 0.5cm thicker, feels weird at first, but i got used to it by now (also they have ultracush insole)
ask if you wanna know anything

>>12551861
>not break points

>>12554975
I can't knock something that skates well, but that velcro is fucking disgusting

>>12555060
Oh that's cool to know. Thanks!

>>12555195
i've had everyone either hate them like you or absolutely love them there doesn't seem to be much middle ground

>>12551812
suck mine i am wearing them rn

do old skools tear up easy? trying to get a pair or two but I'm not sure how long they will last.

>>12555602
get the pros, way more durable + comfy ass insole

>>12552362
How durable are they? $100CAD is a little steep if they're going to wear down as fast as a pair of vans.

>>12555602
not very long honestly. get the pros if you really want but with the canvas side panels they tear up almost as quick

>>12554463
What style jeans have surpassed skinny jeans, then, o trend master? Post your pants, while you're at it.

>>12554975
only person I know that wears this shit is this heavy left swinging gay guy that wears a fluffy jacket that makes him look like grimace

what are some other shoes you can find on the collection of someone who wears old skools?

>>12556037
checkerboard slip-ons
authentics

>>12556044
what about something that isn't vans?

Most definitely. Chuck taylors too. Also, old schools are my least favourite Vans.

I can it destroys the natural bow that your feet has makes it pic related.
before peoplw didn't wear shoes (or not woth extremely hard soles) and the muscles in your feet contracted as you walked over uneven surfaces. What the more weirdly shaped soles do now is they make your soles be in the shape they should be naturaly. it might be not extremely comfortable but it helps to keep you feet be like in the left of pic related.
(not english I don't know the proper term for the feet parts and shit sry)

I like mine I guess.

>>12557128
can't find them anywhere

>>12557660
it isn't the shoes. most people just walk with terrible form because they don't know what proper form is. proper shoes can be helpful but they aren't the root of the issue

>>12557681
yeah that's true but the non-flat soles on shoes help you to keep the right forn while the flat soles kind of let you do you own thing and most people will have it fucked up

>>12557660
flat and squishy is the worst combination, one reason why i don't wear sneakers anymore

>>12557797
what would you say to the argument that "proper shoes" act as a crutch for people who have poor form

you are right it, helps them to train the feet and muscles in it. just look at orthopedic shoes and how their soles look like.
but my argument is that flat soles make your arch more flat. if you don't have any problems with your feet it probably won't cause you much troubles but people that have really flat arch shouldn't wear them at all

OFWGKTA: the thread

>>12551755
Hey, should I be rolling up my pants like in that pic? Is that the style these days?
