I made a shoe topic a while ago, but enver actually bought a pair, now, I'm more than likely going to buy a pair before the week is out. If you want to give a seperate suggestion, keep in mind, these are for campus wear and tear, so I'd prefer they were A) Cheap, B) Light, C) Not Gaudy and casual enough for College slacker attire.

Yes, a few of these are from that topic I made months ago. Lots of additions, though.

So...

Puma Aldiwile (50$)

Puma Ragtop Cord (30$)

These screamed out to me, Puma Teku Suede (60$)

Adidas Samba (Still not sure about these, 40$)

Classic Adidas Superstars (60$)

Adidas Samba LE (60$)

Adidas Somoa (30$)

Adidas Campus II (54.99$)

Adidas Gazelle (54.99$)

Adidas Forum Low (40$)

Nike Cortez (40$)

Converse Nylon Trainer (30$)

Alright, that's about it. Suggestions? Thoughts? Witless quips?

Matlock · Sep 8, 2004

This is what I'm currently swinging around. Can be found anywhere between $30 and $50.

then get some BK's (British Knights? NO! Blood Killa mother fucker!)

in all seriousness, i like the Suede Puma's (i just bought some similar ones but in white, and they are comfy and nice) and the Sambas, but i'd get them in a different color.

BobbyRobby · Sep 8, 2004

Get the Teku Suede.

Seriously... Nobody should wear shoes like that if they aren't playing basketball. Hell, even if they were playing basketball there are much better alternatives to those. Don't wear them.

Pochacco · Sep 8, 2004

All the shoes posted in this thread have been fugly.

Teknopathetic · Sep 8, 2004

Did your cousin whisper that sweet nothing into your ear?

Cerebral Palsy · Sep 8, 2004

I like Converse re-issues myself, but they are hardly cheap.

Is this mangling of "hideous" another one of those GAF inside jokes? I see it here often.

For shoes, JB's sometimes deliver the goods... http://www.suite2206.com/

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

JB seems mighty expensive.

I'm pretty sure the use of "Hideos" is linked to the member (whose current name escapes me) "Hideos Visage."

"Hideos" was originally linked to White Futami, I believe. Luciverse (Hideos Visasge/Society) took up the name later.

WTF? Those JB shows are the ugliest thing ever.

Dude, those are ugly ass shoes.

I have a friend who copped all the Jamaica Pumas. They are okay, but tend to clash with outfits. I don't like how formfitting they are either. Also, being a soccer player a lot of my team mates and my coach wear indoor (indoor soccer) shoes like the Adidas ones posted above. I don't like those either. Cop the Jordan FBI's those are tight. AirForce Ones may be an old fad, but some colorways go well with a lot of different outfits. For casual shoes I wear some nice oxfords or something (black or brown depending on what I am wearing)

But stay the hell away from those Reebocks and those JB's. Jesus christ, honestly they look like Kmart crap. Reebock hasn't produced a good looking or functional shoe in ages. My friend bought a pair of Rebocks, they look like shit.

GG-Duo · Sep 9, 2004

Those Adidas that have the stitched bottoms (ie. Campus II) will last you forever...
if they bottoms are really stitched on.

i have a pair from Grade 7, i think.

I did say sometimes... I really dislike what they're showcasing at the moment, but "online boutique" -> "3" is the slickest shoe I've seen for a while.

Guzim · Sep 9, 2004

Get the Puma Teku Suede.

thom · Sep 9, 2004

hXc_thugg · Sep 9, 2004

Get some Steve Maddens

wandering goat · Sep 9, 2004

For everyday, comfortable, walking shoes, once I tried skateboarding shoes I've never gone back. I recommend any kind of Vans.

BlackMage · Sep 9, 2004

I'd go with the classic adidas superstars, myself.

Outlaw · Sep 9, 2004

Go for some K-swiss :

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

White shoes = NO.

Claus · Sep 9, 2004

Those Teku Suede's look nice.

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

I *knew* I wasn't the only one that liked those.

I'm pretty much settled on those.

Navy? Or...

Black?!

I *really* love blue, but I dunno if I want Black or Blue. (First person who makes a bruise joke get one.)

BlackMage · Sep 9, 2004

black

those shoes are cool and all but i dont like that tannish brown bottom.

I have a pair of brown suede Adidas that are somewhat similar. Probably why I liked them than all the others you posted.

BlackMage · Sep 9, 2004

anyway, heres the adidas i want.

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

HEre's another pair of shoes that also called to me. It's a toss up between these and the Teku Suede.

This sir is correct.

And so is this one.

sefskillz · Sep 9, 2004

the adidas campus ii's are hot, i couldn't find a pair though. i found a nice pair of navy blue reebok classic nylon's for 19.99 and they are suprisingly sharp, i almost bought another pair. also snagged a pair of these (skecher critic nubuck) for 45 or so:

i like em, but whatever

Drexon · Sep 9, 2004

Those sketchers are freaking hot! Damn, too many games.

Boomer · Sep 9, 2004

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any of the shoes you posted, Tre.

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

And what would you rather be caught dead in?

Pochacco · Sep 9, 2004

By the way, shoes must be cheaper in the states or something.
All the cool sneakers I've seen up here in Canada (e.g. Puma, Diesel, Adidas, etc.) are usually over $100cdn.

I need a new pair as well

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

DAMMIT. I dunno if I want the Frankenclyde's (The last pair of shoes I posted), or the Teku Suedes. al;skdjf;alskdjf;klasdj I'll probably end up flipping a coin.

Pochacco · Sep 9, 2004

I have a pair of blue suede shoes (<- hmm..) and they don't age very well.
Granted, I didn't take care of them and even wore them during the Canadian Winter a few times...but still...they tend to fade and pick up a lot of dirt and dust.

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

I'm think I'm gonna lean more to the Frankenclydes. They're both the same price, so yeah, I'll probably go with the Frankenclydes.

Suranga3 · Sep 9, 2004

DO NOT BUY THE Adidas Forum Low! Most uncomfortable shoe ever. The Arch support in that shoe is ridiculous.

My suggestion would be the Classic Adidas Superstars, I've have multiple pairs (different styles and colours) for about 5 years now. Awesome shoe!

Teknopathetic · Sep 9, 2004

Good to hear I wasn't too interested in that one. I have horribly flat feet, and weird arch support, especially awkward = paiiiiiiiiiiiin.

olimario · Sep 9, 2004

I'd consider these if I could replace the green with a darker red or a blue.

EDIT: I think I like these the best of the two, actually. I'll go see how they look.
EDIT 2: I don't like the New Balance at all after looking at these.

Takuan · Sep 9, 2004

Winner.

Teknopathetic · Sep 13, 2004

Well, for those who care, I had to take a short stab in my budget due to a sudden college expense, and ended up getting the Samba's.

OK, so I never bought a pair of shoes, revitalized shoe topic!
