let's talk about old/weird(?) sneakers


Recommended Posts

I love those, gives me an Empire Strikes Back vibe, I'd gladly own and wear those, don't suppose youcan recall what they were/are called ?I might have to do some digging...

y-3 pretty sure the gold says "yohji yamamoto", and the toe says TSC which is a thing adidas does ("temperature sensitive compound" or something)

^ Oh Mihara, why do you do dis to me? I suppose shit like this can exist in Japan.

 

Can't stand it though when people think it to be a good idea to combine trends.

 

 

I really abhor pyramid studs and the fucking Valentino resurgence that is bringing them back from the grave.

 

This weird sneaker crossover is no exception.. just way too much fashunz.

Yes, 12 year old shoes are fragile. The plastics degrade over time and crumble away to nothing. 

yea

bought a pair of Northwave Espressos, they lasted all of one day of wear before crumbling and falling apart  :(

dont get the h8 for them, i fuckin love them

There's a pair of Revaderchi's in my size for sale but they're over 20 years old. just can't risk it.

 

BUT yo if someone comes across a Nike Talache Mid or Steven Alan collab in 11 or 11.5 hit me up asap. impossible to find nowadays
