Chuck 70s with TCB 40s at work. This will be the last time wearing these, after 1.5 years of these being my daily shoes I have finally walked a hole through the sole.

[goodrain]

I feel sorry for your joints that you had to walk that much in those

Here’s my truly beat Vans 44, wore the shit out of them during the 2020 lockdown

Got some made in Japan converse , there a late 50's repro from the timeline series ..... nothing super special but what can you expect from a pair of converse ?? 

I didn't remember to take a close up pic of the toe cap but it has the same ridge as seen on pre 70's converse , it's a nice detail that they recreated and shows that there was at least a bit of thought put into them 

 

 

 

[Duke Mantee]

What’s the verdict on these?

[Broark]

And where did you buy them? I'm overdue for a pair of Cons. 

[Flash]

@Duke Mantee haven't worn them yet mate but they feel solid , doesn't have the same stiffness as the 70's but I always thought that felt a bit plasticy 

@Broark just found them on Yahoo

I actually prefer cheapo Chucks to the 70's.. i appreciate the 70's are a little more luxurious with more cushioning in the footbed but i'm not that fussed

I appreciate artisan chocolate but i'd often choose a Crunchie or a Double Decker over Cocao Wonderland

Strange days - half of those runners I would’ve considered cheap shite in those days, now for hundreds of pounds I can be trendy 

[Double 0 Soul]

You'de only be 'niche-trendy' and i don't think you'd be able to wear them.. the foam mid would turn to powder within hours..

..Holds out a pocket watch..

Wearing my Made in Japan Chucks today, not extremely happy with these but they will be my next daily sneakers anyways.
The laces felt so cheap I had to swap them for the thick cotton ones from my old Chuck 70s, I think it made the appearance of the shoes a bit better.
Paired with a new pair of regular 501 STFs (non LVC) which I really enjoy, they are really rare here in Europe so first time trying them.

I'm not into trainers but thought I'd post these Loci (?) trainers my son bought for himself after working over the Easter break. They're my size!

150 quid tho

Bought these from Coverchord the other day.

FRESH

Anyone tired out Catchball Sneakers from Korea?
I've seen a few retailers pick them up recently, was interested in trying a pair out. Pretty reasonably priced at certain shops.

[Duke Mantee]

I was having a look at those too today - nice styling

Bit late on this but think those are Court Force not Dunks. Nice though

[Double 0 Soul]

If you want to know for sure @MJF9 the number positioned here, top left of the barcode is Nike's 'individual style number'

Type Nike ****** followed by that number into google and you will find your exact shoe

@generic_guy great spot… yep Court Force High from 2005… all confirmed via @Double 0 Soul’s trick there… thanks gents

It transpires (as I just took a closer look) they’ve been stored in a Dunk High box and not worn in 17 years until recently

I now recollect I gave my old man the all black Dunk High, clearly minus the box

@Broark sure I saw them Catchball in a sale somewhere i.e. reasonably priced rather than top end… nice trainees
