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

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^air killers really nice. can't afford atm. seem to recall seeing sz 2s and 3s on ebay; running upwards of $600us 

also coming up from dbss f/w 13 is what looks like a slightly lower version of the standard hi-top. only seen in lookbook so far but here it is (on right and left looks)

I'm feeling those! translates well into a midtop imo, bit of a chunky jordan vibe. that whole look on the far right is pretty dope.

This site here is a goddamn treasure trove

that's dbss? depressing...

 

saw the y-3 smooth star (posted earlier) the other day and i got (nicely) surprised

but the toebox is made from rubber...

 

adidas is bringing back the stan smiths for spring 14 and i'll get myself a pair or two to start the year

asked for the Y's super positions and was told to call the y-3 store in nyc

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^yep. still a superstar through and through it seems ._. seen the super positions on random online retailers aaaand that's it. ;_;

 

@hhenryhhh
yep. tons of insane obscurity on that.

i may be alone in liking these a lot but i'm pretty sure it's more like regretting not getting them (for less than half the original price) when i could have. ;_; 

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

adidas needs to bring these back. just make all the accent colors white but keep the materials the same and they'd be great beaters.

LOLOLOLOL

^WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[ninetynine]

I wanted these when they dropped

 

[Fuuma]

Yeah that fluorescent accent is the only thing that prompted me to post them. There are a few other variations in the new line up including a studded version but I think the one above is the best. I just find the overall build of dbss to be a little lackluster and these new ones appear to be even lesser quality than their predecessors although it's hard to gauge for sure based on pics... Still want the Killers though x_x

I wish the top moved into a more technical direction too. Had my old RO resoled anyway so don't really need more hi tops.

Saw them on Yahoo Japan on my bi-daily Junya search. Still no AW11 stuff in my size at decent prices

Act quick if you want them (size 9)

[homme.homme]

Those Junya's are nice. Not sure if they fit into either the "old" or "weird" category but they are definitely one of the best flight jacket inspired sneakers I've seen. Someone needs to make a flight jacket based sneaker using goretex and waterproof zips etc.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^agree with you there. converse japan came out with flight jacket highs recently. cigar pockets, i think they were called? not bad imho.

indeed they did. air trainer huarache 94s i think. always liked; very similar to air carnivores.

not really weird per se but margiela's come out with a meh GAT hi top, as has nonnative 
margiela 


nonnative

can see some folks here definitely digging them. nonnative ones also come in navy, grey, and a sort of wheat color.

also orphic x john lawrence sullivan 


don't really feel any of the colors (three pairs)

^finally someone else who posted tallacs! i'm waiting for the ideal moment to kawp a pair. customs will murder me regardless of what i do/where i get them from so proxying probably better than ebay.

someone selling these a half size too small. would actually be tempted to jump on but he's asking for about 50% more than is reasonable

[The-Arm]

Yeah deffinitely top of the list, been on the hunt for a size 12 in a darker colour way.....no luck with bigger sizes unfortunately.

final home


and the three way sneaker; via connorcoverism.tumblr.com (my dad has a pair of cushes that work the same way lol)

[WillKhitie]

 

Still miss this.

 

[SSchadenfreude]

lulz

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^saw those x_x meh. bball high vintage still best iteration imo.

dem whites so nice but cannot justify 

so who wants a cordura pump fury? dunno what the point is but they're okay. maybe cut off weirdly placed cordura tag. 

also really glad to see this is back (and monotone for once)




still prefer this as it's more akin to an acg vibe.


also acg trainerendor 

there is mid top version but not as good and some fukboi somewhere called them an "acg roshe" so i am not amused

[TEKsevenZERO]

liking the ACG trainerrendor Vnice - esp in the mid too

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^somehow i don't like the mid as much. hardware additions up top feel more like an attempt to make it feel more off-road/hiker-y than it looks. other angles/closer photos would help but we'll have to wait x_x 

these would be so-so in a subdued color

also some fila stuff. branding holds weird el cheapo connotation but it was apparently luxury sportswear territory back in the day
