When did you realize the sneaker game passed you by?

[Standing on business]

thats not a new wave.

these kinds of athletic shoes were popular in the usa, uk, and japan in the 80s and 90s.

see huaraches.

nothing out now is new, just a rehashing of previous design.

Everything in life has been done before. If it hasn't been popular in 30 years and becomes popular again I think it's safe to call it the new wave. Nobody would've been caught dead in the dad sneaker 5 years ago now balenciago, Gucci, yeezy etc are moving them off the shelves.

My sophomore year in college.

Oh my damn...that brought me back.

We old outchea for real

It's crazy when you think about it. No magazine had you hyped for sneakers more than Eastbay. The day it came in the mail the teachers at school were Charlie Brown adult sounding

I really wanted those offwhite 1's


I don't pay resell for anything anymore

define "dad sneaker"

its been plenty of people wearing pennys and huaraches for years, myself being one of them.

im not sure where you're from but obviosuly location is important in regards to style.

 

[SupremexKing]

Yeah it is, overgrown males geeking like little children over sneakers that cost $2 to make and cost $200+.

i hear your point, but i guarantee all your money doesn't go to 100 percent constructive purposes either. im certain you have nikka trinkets, cars, electronics, etc.

You have grown men out here with 20+ pairs of sneakers and not even one pair if decent dress shoes... pathetic. Shyt like that is one of the many reason black men aren’t respected in society.

Because no dress shoes equates to not being respected. come on bruh you better than this

that Jordan brand price raise a few years ago. couldn't justify the shyt anymore.

No need to pretend it's not a trend, and the old huaraches while almost similar were still a bit sleeker


Are yall feeling the new "Dad" sneaker trend

 

[TRFG]

I’m in college with over 100 pairs of kicks. I got every pair of yeezy v2s that dropped in the last two years had to stop because I realized I’ll never get to wear most of the kicks I have

im at work and cant really see the pics, but the pic you used in this thread looks nothing like those sketcher looking feets.

im talking about boxy athletic sneakers.

i dont really care about any of those "high fashion" sneakers because thats a recent entry into "sneakerhead" culture and its really some hypebeast cornball shyt.
