I've worn the same 2 pairs of shoes for almost a decade, I bought 2 pairs of Adidas Coredos a long time ago, wore them until they fell apart.
I also bought a pair of red suede Stan Smiths
and a pair of nice leather Gazelles, basically look like these but the lettering is a bit different on mine
I never wear those though because I didn't want to ruin them lol. Just mostly wore the Coredos and would wear these when going out somewhere.
If I'm buying sneakers I only buy Adidas. But I don't care anymore, I want good shoes for walking and hiking so I recently bought 2 pairs of Columbia hiking shoes, one waterproof and one not:

Back in the days I was a big fan of Nike air max 97
Had ~3 or so of them in different colors and was like 16 years ago. Awesome sneaker. Glad they reappeared and I see quite some people wearing them. Thought about picking them up myself again but I kinda feel too old to wear them.
Only thing I’m wearing nowadays are low chucks. Be it for working out or on the street.
I’m became old and boring lol

don't cheap out on something you will use on a daily basis. I take you it you either don't walk much or don't have a flat foot. Sometimes though, you just want to wear nice things. Nothing wrong or weird about that.

Shoes are literally a consumable. The more you use them, the more they get worn out. No point in paying a ton of money for them.
I mostly wear flip flops, just to keep the bottom of my feet from touching the ground.

You pay just a bit more for better quality. 50 bucks is not a ton of money, specially if you actually have to work/walk alot

Nah, just an average joe. Still using a pair I bought from Marks Work Warehouse something like ten (or more) years ago. To my credit, I don't wear them daily.
There is truth to paying a bit more for quality. I bought a cheaper pair of rubber boots last year (or was it January?) and I know I'm going to have to replace them sooner than later. Discovered a couple weeks ago one of them has a small hole somewhere. When I took the winter felt liners out of the bottom I had to go buy some insoles as my feet were getting sore. Don't remember that happening with, say, a Dunlop.

Well, like I said, I mostly wear flip flops. I walk 14-18k steps at work, which is the only time I wear actual shoes, and the $50 ones feel just fine to me.

Can't believe they still sell it (or it's 99% the same), but I bought a pair of these 15 years ago. I don't wear them a ton, but they still are fucking awesome. They are grimy so I now just wear them in the summer for mowing the lawn or washing my car.
Best $60 I ever spent. Still no holes in the sole or anything. In fact aside from a couple dress shoes at maybe $120-150, Ive never spent more than around $100 on any shoe.

For the life of me I will never understand sneaker heads. I own a pair of steel toed work boots, sandals, and dress shoes that I wear once every two years.

For me it is more of a necessity. One day in a pair of shoes and the smell is a weapon. I experimented alot and reached a bearable solution. Wool socks that absorb most of the smell, but i still need to rotate four pairs, to get rid of ingrained and impressed particles and properly dry them out.

These are rad
Above everything the Kayano 5 OG is comfy af. Picked up a pair earlier this year when hanon had a massive sale
The Jordan Lineup for the upcoming holiday looks tasty as well (except the Jordan 1´s, its just not my model) but this year the budget is going all towards PS5 and TV.

What about socks?
Am I out of touch when I use 'regular' socks instead of those that cut off below the ankle?

I don´t know what the latest trends amongst teens is, but as long as its not too out of sync with everything else its good to go, which basically means there is no right or wrong and everything´s fine. most of my socks are plain black ones anyway no matter the cut (regular, short, invisible) and the rest are mostly stance ones with different themes or just plains in other colors.
when it somes to the cut, i just go with the seasons: from now until march/april its more classic regular ones, in late spring and throughout summer i prefer short or invisible ones unless the shoe demands otherwise (jordan 11s, certain air max 90s and dunks) because it tears up on the heel otherwise.

The 2020 Nike 'Día de Muertos' Collection is a Family Affair
The 2020 Nike Dia de Muertos collection sees makeups of the Air Max 90, Daybreak, Blazer Mid, and Air Jordan 1 Mid, centralised around the theme of ‘Para Mi Familia’, or ‘For My Family’. It celebrates the Dia de los Muertos.
Dont want to cop, but the Air Max 90 is tempting... Must.... resist.... urge....

the Rom is a nice shoe, but like most adidas just noch made for my foot (too slim) and i just don´t like adidas ingeneral anymore apart from few silhouttes.
The 83 Pegasus is a bit too less cuchioned fo me, i prefer the 89 model since its more cushioned and has a bit more of a "modern" look, which i i prefer (late 80ies to mid 90ies were the golden ages of runners imho).

I am currently rocking two pairs of Nike Downshifter 9's. They are supposed to be a running shoe but I can't imagine running in them for a long time.
Love the simple styling, cushion and airiness. About 60€ - which is why I immediately bought another pair after the first one felt so nice.
Another one I got, because I'm walking a lot and I need to switch shoes up, is the Free RN5.0. Supposedly a running shoe aswell it feels different, a little more firm regarding the cushion and I love to use it for the gym too.
Apart from that it's mostly dress shoes
