Had both the black and white uncaged in my cart but bailed out. I already have the black and red uncaged w/ white soles and just wasn't feeling the difference.

Think I might get the Jordan 1 in white with laser cuts, instead. I have never owned a pair of Jordans in my life. Was too poor as a kid and had no interest as an adult.

So who here wears shoes without socks? Cant get with that shit no matter what. At least wear no show socks or something.

Also Afew says that they only get those Black and Whit Gel Lytes in 12.5 and not 13. Lol why the fuck you have that size showing before the release then? They even had a size 14. Those sizes were on there for at least a month because that's how long I was saving up. Was going to pay for their crazy ass international shipping and everything.

Depends on the shoe to be honest. Sneakers? Naw. I'm wearing socks lol.

I'll skip socks if I'm at the beach. I need real shoes when walking around the boardwalk but take them off when I'm on the sand. Otherwise, always socks.
 
I go sock less in lows sometimes.
bruh this is the sneaker thread. you been drinking on an empty stomach?
You don't own me


So an old flame from 2011 popped up for sale... Not sure if I still lust for them the same way anymore. Would be a good fall pick I think

i have aconfession. I freakign hate joggers

get some nice tapered pants or some shit instead

In my opinion the jogger pants trend is dead, especially the elastic cuffed variety (ie: Zanerobe Sureshots, Publish joggers etc). And not gonna lie, I now cringe when I see sneaker pics on IG with these joggers.

It's tapered and/or cropped pants for me these days.

I don't know what it is, but my tall ass always looked goofy in joggers so I never really wore any. I'm too lanky or something.
 

Zekes!

Yeah, definitely have seen a sharp decline in joggers. It's definitely for the best; too many brands jumping in with their own styles which typically had garbage fits.

I won't lie though, I still rock some a few pairs when I feel like being comfy and lazy. As some one who works with adolescent kids all day during the school year, they're my go to.

I don't even own a pair of joggers.

. I saw lots of it on the net and ut looks good and i try to emulate it a bit.. But when its time to fit and see how it would look on me it just doesn't look right.. Like it doesn't look as good as I thought it would on me lol.

I just go with skinny or slim tapered on anything.. Levis 510.. Banana republics traveler slim demin is probably the most comfortable jeans I've worn.

Maybe once it gets colder i can try joggers again.. But with the kind of tops I'm wearing most often during the summer (shirt + unbuttoned short sleeve[lol] or just tshirt) joggers doesn't seem to complement it well.

Edit: just bought these http://oneness287.com/collections/all/products/adidas-tubular-nova-pk I've been wanting a 2nd more casual all black shoe for a while.. The closest shoe i have to being all black is this http://sneakernews.com/2015/08/28/nike-lebron-12-low-svsm-hits-stores-next-week/ which is not even all black. At least this adidas one will look nice on a simple jeans.

Better pics here https://rockcitykicks.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/adidas-tubular-nova-pkblack-grey . Will probably try to replace the lace with a rounded red or grayish ones and see how it looks.

Agreed but the cuffs are far too wide. They look good with boots or chukkas but terrible with sneakers. And the stretchy fabric doesn't really do well with rolling or cuffing. I wish they made a version with a real taper. They are without a doubt the most comfortable denim I've worn.

The trend seems to be moving away from joggers with elastic cuffs to a plain hem. And crisper fabrics. Zanerobe Salerno seems to be stocked in Nordstrom now more than Sureshot.

Hey speaking of raw denim are there any tips on removing dye from white leather sneakers?

I have those BR jeans and I got them tapered. Love em.
 
What kind of jeans you wear?

Right now my rotation would be my Japan Blues, Nudie (forgot the style name), and some black N&F denim I wear, like, all the damn time. I just like the fit of the Nudies. Working on the Japan Blues to get some sick fadezzzz but, yeah, it's too hot right now for that crap.

Got like 3 pairs of Unbranded ready to go but won't work on that until later. Also have some other N&F denim but I bought them when a size too big so the fit isn't the best. Need to get them tapered at least.

Ahhh nice! I haven't worn jeans in months (it's really hot here in Cali) but when I do I wear my APC petite standards. 1 and a half year going strong!
 
Nothing wrong with joggers. If you like wearing them, then wear them, if you don't, then don't. Don't always need to wear whatever is currently trendy, everyone wearing the same thing is how things go out of fashion anyway.

I was going to buy a pair of APC but I have way too many indigo jeans atm. There is this one pair that I'm sad that I passed on, the stonewash PS, they were on sale for like 85$. I couldn't do it at the time so I'm pretty mad at that. Damn my spending habits.

I bought like 4 pairs of dropcrotch joggers and later regretted it because of that reason lol. Saggy diaper look ain't cool. Don't have a problem with the regular ones tho. Will still wear my Zanerobe Sureshots too. They're comfy.

If you have any Nordstrom Racks near by you can get a pair of APC's for as low as $50. Super cheap, just gotta keep checking.

Mine seem to only carry Hudson and Joe's. Occasionally Nudie. Haven't seen APCs yet. Might have to go to the ones down in the city. Even though I'm still considered metro Atlanta lol.

I wear size 13 but they only make these Asics in 12.5.
Now I'm researching if Aiscs sizes run a lil bigger or something.

Also, whos picking up the USA Uptempos?

I just need jeans with the polyester in them. I need the flex.

Still got love for joggers but admittedly, I jumped on them late into the game. They are just so comfy.

I wear 13 and have fit fine into a 12.5 Asics. A bit snug but nothing bad. Have a pair of 13 Asics as well. Prefer 13 as I like my shoes a bit roomier.

Also, yeah, maybe cop those shoes as well :D

Managed to snag the Ultra boost uncaged in store in London even though I couldn't get them online - they're the ones with the black soles.. almost makes me feel less bitter about them Yeezy 750's lol! Almost!

I don't get it either. I went to my Footlocker and Champs both have all the three variations of triple color Uncageds. My size too.

. Probably just pure luck.. But didn't cop because the way my checking account is set up....

They probably got them from a side vendor haha.

But on a serious note, it's all about location. Online will obviously be much harder but physical places really depends on where you stay. For example, UBs are mostly still sitting unless they're the very, very limited CW. Like chalks.

Uncageds are easy cop tbh. I think people expected more of a hypebeast uncaged with this but got a ub with a different pattern instead

Random thought, I still own the white infrared 6's because of slam dunk :)

I don't own the slam dunk 6's but my friend fiends for them even though he doesn't rock jordans lol

Word of advice half of size down for these bad boys. I went to the store and tried them out ( 11 here) and it was big, had to go down half a size (10.5)

Edit: I got the black and white months ago.

They're probably great functional shoes but the Nike's designs are kind of stale. I'd still get a pair if they've got good ankle support.

These Rise/Brandback desert mirage sneakers are nice. I like the pattern and the extended tongue. Shame they only make them up to 11.5. Come on, some of us have canoe feet.

 
Couldn't resist the white ultraboost uncaged online... $180 usd +tax... Got super lucky I guess(Chile)... Also have the pirate black yeezy 350 (via raffle) Please hold me, the damn hype got me.

keep your strippers out of my American football
what are thooooose?

i actually do really like them. they look like shoes that you play basketball in. instead of basketball shoes. key difference.

But Jordans had gotten into the idea of being basketball shoes. That is how they justified the price. I am still rocking the 29s and 29 lows. the 30s and 31s just haven't clicked with me.

I picked these up on my lunch break at Foot Locker. They also had the Uncaged Ultra Boosts in stock, but I decided to pass for now.

The suede is nice. I'm thinking about going back to pick them up in black.
