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


Recommended Posts

Fila ! - that whole phenomena was a UK Casual movement thing along with the likes of Kappa, Sergio Tacchini, Lyle & Scott, hell even Lois jumbo cords.

I guess most on here are waaaay too young to remember but I was part of that whole thing back in the early 80's!!

 

I did like some of the Fila's - ( had a pair ) those White Mountaineering are hideous - like something you would be made to wear recovering from some foot operation in hospital !!

sandal discussions i think will always revert to those two pairs of WMs, somehow i like the first pair a lot more tho! that orthopedic vibe really does it for me x_x

old-ish (i think) kva

yeah, im really tempted to cop the first pair of WMs. they come in all black too.

 

those less but better sandals are sick!

 

i've been thinking about getting a pair of air deschutz for a while. also, i've always wanted a pair of vis christos lol....

Whenever I was searching for old Adidas, I would always inevitably be led to the Found nyc forums which leads me to believe that a lot of the old casual dudes moved onto techwear 

 

Shit was all Adidas and Stone Island

Kuya, very much like those snap straps, damnnnnn. Miharas look clean too, never seen in white.

here's a bunch of colors. never saw this one anywhere tho.
