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

[untrue]

New colorway of the R.T x Nike AF1's. Look a lot better this time compared to the b&w counterparts.

Has this been in here?

 

 

 

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.

[Trasparenti]

just contributing a lil oc

found these guys at thrift for $9, couldn't help it

super chunky Vans with heel tabs and everything. never seen them before but for being 10+ yrs old they're in solid shape

 

also these bizarre Nike Free boot things at Ross (lel)

no interest but i've never seen anything like it besides the field boot but i thought those were only tan

[SSchadenfreude]

^nice find

[Fycus]

Mizuno infinity ring moc, seems to be pretty popular in japan?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^so it seems. was very iffy about them initially but nowadays i kind of like. probably only moctoe i am okay with atm. doubt i could do justice tho.

i think styling shots help illustrate how they can be good

these are sick, i like these better than the vis skynyrds actually. thought these were a Mountain Research collab? also is there anywhere in the west that sells these?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^they are a sett collab, yeah. but they seem to crank out variations every season. currently is the ring moc in both low and boot forms (below)

couldn't tell you about who sells them tho. perhaps proxy your best bet? or maybe nepenthes??? >_> iunno

are they fragile? i wear all my shit hard, no baby'n shoes or nothing

[drgitlin]

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

 

also, looking for these ellesse joints

but prolly gonna get a pair of these

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
