- how do you keep the white rubber white, when you try to polish them?shapesalad
- Collonil colour care is white/clear and polishes up well. there's also a ton of products for cleaning the rubber if you fuck it up :)kingsteven
- Resole them.palimpsest
- I love that these have real rubber soles, like vaguely organic rubber. The amount of plastic particulate that trainers must generate is a horrid thought..Nairn
- Aye, most say their tpe soles are 'recyclable' which in practice means ship it to India to chemically extract the plastics but ends up in landfill anywaykingsteven

- haha 'indoor' shoes - it's actually a good idea - fuck, we're getting old aren't we?mathinc
- ha... now that you mention it... yep :)PonyBoy
- Serious question - most Americans keep shoes on in the house?? ...up here in Canada eh? shoes are off minute you walk in the doorStatic_Line
- depends on the people / home (some snobby twats w/perfect floors and furniture demand no shoes whereas my mom's ranch has more animals...PonyBoy
- ... living in the house than humans so shoes aren't really an issue).PonyBoy
- Lol gotcha - even if someone roasted a goat in their living room and took a piss in the corner we’d prob still take our shoes off in someone else’s houseStatic_Line
- ...not sure how or why we ended up with it that way up hereStatic_Line
- My Mom-in-law will barely let you on her outdoor porch w/shoes... to attempt to even step inside w/them on is taking your life in your hands. :)PonyBoy

serious q - for those here that buy nikes, is there a reason why you don't buy something equally expensive from companies that don't have such a torrid history with sweatshop / child labor?
i understand for things like basketball shoes where there's a slimmer market and preferences on fit / dynamics come in to play much more... but for general everyday stuff, i never understood why people rock the swoosh still.
- No reason, I just do it.Morning_star
- Nikes are comfy and Air Force 1 is a timeless design.DRIFTMONKEY
- The child labor was an issue in 2001.
18 years ago.Hayoth - I never wore them as a kid because they were expensive and vans and chucks seemed to fit my lifestyle and budget better.fooler
- but I'm sure every brand uses cheap overseas labor.fooler
- look for shoes made in Portugal or Romania = EU worker rights.shapesalad

- @necro - serious question, what is the allure of shoes like this for you? Is it a conceptual thing?ben_
- ^^^ i've collected and worn trainers most of my life and even won a Cannes gold for my love sneakers. these you are right i love from conceptual point of viewnecromation
- Fuckin fair play to that. I wouldn't wear them but they're cool...set
- I was on work travel, stopped into Neiman Marcus and saw them in person. I guess it's a lot of work to make them look like that.ben_
- So I'll hand it to them for applying a certain amount of "craft" to making a shoe that looks like a homeless ex-raver made them in between therapy appointments.ben_

- "Curry" series, available in green, red and er ... dark.MrT
- the red and green are fire. the brown...not so much. <insert obligatory "racist" sentiment belowlvl_13
- yap, seems like they struggled if the best they could do is dark curry? I'd have bought some 'Massamans', but I fancy me some of these reds.MrT
- red, green... top marks. dark curry is closest to other 'curry' nikes. still nicer than full-spectrum day after battered arse curry 90's. https://is.gd/cab9N0…kingsteven
