Adidas Sambas.

Ding! Had a pair, wore them out after years, hoping to replace them soon. One of my favorites ever.

May I also suggest *ulp* a black pair of low-top, non-SB Nike Dunks? That's a classic right there.

K-Swiss Classics. I miss K-Swiss surf and turfs.

Sanuk slip ons

Redwings at work.
Sidis on the way home.
Rainbows everywhere else.

I wear these like sneakers.



I gave up on sneakers when I got tired of seeing my shoes on my nephews' feet.

Not sure this is the look a 17 year old is after, or anyone else for that matter.


doomridesout is on point. Stick with a tried and true, classic, athletic shoe if that's what you're after. The Sambas, Lavers, Clydes, etc... all good shoes that last and have a timeless sneaker style. You know why they've been around for so long? Because the hold up and look good. They did 30 years ago and they do today. Getting those Generic Surplus jawns will lump you in with all the Neff hat-wearers out there, if that's what you're going for.

that being said, i kinda like a pair of spitfire low wht/grn from 5.10 for myself.

is this what the kids are wearing?
