Any Sneaker heads out here? - post what you got

[Priller]

LoL I do have a good collection of riding footwear too- Sidi’s, Alps, Icon’s - for track, street and dirt - right tool for the job… These fashionable sneakers above would be used on my fashionable MT-09SP to get myself to NM and other posers meets

And BTW I beg to differ in regards to how slick “true” riding brands could be - there are some dope Icon and RevIT high riding boots with all the protection and looking pretty good. Or as in @Lightcycle picture BMW has some cool shoes too! You just can’t have it all.. at once

Cheers

Fair enough, it's always a judgement call on when and where to wear gear. I'm not ATTGATT, though shoes and gloves are two that I never skip. Having seen a buddies street shoe come straight off in a relatively low speed crash when the laces wore through almost instantly, maybe I'm more cautious than most. I just see lots of folks in sneakers assuming that all leather footwear is the same (not dissimilar to jeans), without understanding the differences in stitching, lace placement, sole bond, and a stiff shank to protect against crushing.

And while I didn't claim bike sneakers were great, I've had better luck with European shops, as there's much more demand for casual riding specific shoes there. FC-MOTO has probably the deepest selection, with Helstons, Stylmartin and Gaerne making some not awful options:

Either way, none are going to become valuable through rarity any time soon...

I have a pair of BMW boots, they are rebranded TCX boots. Very comfy goretex things.

I love my sneakers, nothing crazy or collectables, never go over $300ish and always wear every single pair...

Just got these puppies: classic 80's ASICS, Made in Japan, premium leather and generally way better than those overhyped Jordans IMO.

Will work perfectly with my MT-09SP

What you got recently???

Almost guaranteed that at least one shoe in the pair will squeak.

At $39, you should buy 25-30 pair!

I think I know why

I do have a pair of Geox sneakers. Not super trendy maybe but they are neat as they have a breathable sole but are still water resistant. It actually works..my usually sweaty feet are pretty comfortable in these.

KL is hardly the reason. NB Has been killing it for a very long time. Some of my favorite pairs in my small collection are from NB.
Here's one:

Nice shoe..:but white. Florida grampa I am far away from still lol

All kidding aside I always worry white shoes get too dirty too fast.

 

[crankcall]

Stan smith was introduced when I was in high school, that’s how old that design is . I wore white shoes before it was Florida chic . I do not own a white belt .

Back when I was in high school, *everyone* wore white tennis shoes. Just like everyone wears white-bottomed runners these days. It's just the fashion.

I was rocking a pair of white Reeboks back in the day.

very true, it seems like Everyone wants to collab with them now and they are selling out in seconds. and there are a tonne of them. Aime Leone Dore, Joe Fresh Goods, Casablanca, Bodega, Salehe Bembury to name a few....

I wouldn't mind seeing more from your collection.
