The deal is, I have my cool looking Nike for two and a half years now, I bought them when I was only 15, now Im 18, so my feet have grown a little bit, and my Nike dont look so new although they are still in a great condtition. I have diffrent boots and "going out" shoes, but now I need some stylish atheletic shoes, what the "In" thing out there now?
forget about whats in and whats not get yourself a good pair of New Balance running shoes!
I didnt mean it that way "In", just something stylish I like...I never head a pair of NB because I was never fond of them, just the way they look, although I have heard that they are very comftroble...Quote:

Personally, I don't care for what's in and what's not. I simply go for whatever is comfortable when I wear them and how valuable they are while I'm training. Besides (and this I once pointed out to a coworker with $250 Jordans), what's in today will truly lose its value in a few months. Those $250 Jordans will be sold for $49.95 in 3 or 4 months from now.
For that reason, I am still wearing the Brooks that I've had for about 2 years now. A year ago, I replaced them with a pair of New Balance but those have since worn down. When I turned back to the Brooks, I realized that they weren't even worn at all as the New Balance were.
So Tolinka, I would advise you to go with what feels comfortable for you when you're wearing them and/or working out in them.
I only have two shoe styles i like. If you want style get the new ADIDAS ROD LAVER or the Classic STAN SMITH. I love the stan smith shoe style. Classic OG white. hehe i had to take a pic, i just bought a new pair. Remember to get FAT LACES :D
I also gets whats comfy...
Last pair I bought, I just went to the sports shoe store, tried almost every pair on display and then decided on one pair. Salesman was going insane. :)
Neither price nor look were taken into consideration... the only thing I was thinking about was "are my feet going to be comfy running every god damm day on the threadmill with these things on".
Ends up they did :)

i'm a loyal saucony girl, i've worn them for the last 4 years for running, training and everything in between. Like any brand they have quality levels so be sure to get quality. Good luck!
according to nelly...air force ones? =PQuote:

LOL....Very good point. I HATE the band-aid thing.
I would say just skip what is "cool" or the current rage, and get whatever the heck you like. Just take into consideration what you will be using them for; running, lifting, cardio equipment, running on trails, on pavement, etc. Sometimes you need to get more than one kind of shoe if you are into alot of different things. I have REALLY bad knees and New Balance and Nike both make shoes that make me feel like I am on air. I know this is hard to do, but try to forget about price, let your comfort be your guide!
I dont care much for whats "In" or not, I was just joking there. Whenever I look for shoes, I look for comfort and looks...I was thinking getting this type of Adidas or something like that, I aslo spotted some really nice Kswiss shoes...
one more thing, i dont think i will ever shop in Nike again. After reading about them and how they operate in thirwd wolrd countries employing 14 yeard olds 2$ a day and giving out contracts worth of 90$ million dollars a to a guy 18 years old, I think it would be wrong of me to support such a company.
It's all about the profit margin!Quote:

whenever I buy shoes at like foot locker or finish line I always ask whoever is working if they can give me some kind of a discount. all employees get a pretty decent cut on shoes and most of the time they help me out... try it out, it usually works
--hawk
There's only one shoe for me. I can run in it...and when I catch that guy who didn't pay...I stomp his punk ass with them!!
LMAO!! @ money
I'm like saucony, just get extreme comfort with a lil bit of style. You'll know it when you put it on.
Hahaha bro i want me a pair of those (in zebra stripes if you can get that) :DQuote:
