So the most modern non-beater sneaker I do is the Jordan 5. When I first saw these Cosmuc Unity 3s they reminded me of Mary Poppins’ carpet bag. Now I’m thinking of getting them in the sale. Can’t work out if I just find them interesting as a sneakerhead (v Worherspoon 97 and really well made) or if I like them to actually wear. Anyone else feel this about a sneaker you admire but isn’t your normal style?

    Aside from performance and signature models from the top brands, I’d say that pairs from alternative brands like Serious Players Only would fit this category. Super niche, and for a very specific purpose only which is basketball.

    What The Dunk and everything else from What The series are too weird for me. Looks like people are wearing the wrong shoes.

    Plus anything see-through, like the ebay pair. I think they’re interesting for display, but look weird on feet and turn into a foot steamer

      I was just thinking about this when I saw some what the dunks a few days ago. Yeah I guess they’re cool from a fan perspective, but damn they’re some ugly shoes.

    I love the current look of Salomons. The urban hiker aesthetic is super in right now but it doesn’t fit into my look at all. I’ve bought multiple XT-6, XT-4, and ACS Pros but sold most of them.

    I have no intention of buying a shoe that I’m not going to wear at some point. Gotta be a responsible adult.

    Most high performance shoes. They’re great for their purpose and can be really interesting but just aren’t suited for casual wear in terms of comfort, durability, etc.
