- Now THE shoe of the Brexit voter.shapesalad
- I had a pair of these, minus the flag, when I was a student.Chimp
- Faxion speaks the truth... you turned at my school in these or Hi-Tek, you was basically letting the kids know you chose death lolnecromation
- Hi-Tek & Gola were indeed starter kits for being bullied in 90's UK.Hayzilla
- gola's and reeboks will get you called out for being a cop here. walsh seem pretty decent looking for british made gear
https://www.normanwa…kingsteven - what faxion saidmicrokorg
- my first thought was samba rip offsfooler
- It's like adidas Sambas and Onitsuka Tigers had an affair, and forgot the condoms.Continuity
- @Continuity is correct; Sambas AND Tigers.ideaist
- So, quite apart from the fact they're derivative and ho-hum as sneakers, what about them would get you bullied?Continuity
- if memory serves, they were 'budget brands', so you were poor if you wore them.Nairn
- Ah. Same thing when I was in school with Levi's Orange Tab jeans. Turn up in those, and you're telling every kid in the school you want a violent death.Continuity
- For the same 'budget brand' reason.Continuity
- Go Samba, or Tiger if you like the style else you'll get your head flushed down the loo by the bigger kids.robthelad
- Ha, stateside it was LA Gear if you didn't have the LA Lights.garbage
- British Knights were the same way, but a bit more complicated if you lived in a city school, because Crips / sons of Crips would wear BKs.garbage
- BK = Blood Killergarbage
- I had a pair of brown BK trainers. For shame, my vague memory of them is that they were AWFUL. I thought I was so cool, hahaNairn
- (where I lived, at least, they were seen as VERY cool.. by prats, I realise now)Nairn
- Haha BK and Troop. Never had a pair of either but a friend was daft on 'em.
Yes Gola were very budget trainers.microkorg - You could MAYBE get away with Hi-Tec's at school but definitely not Gola. Only thing beneath these would be Plimsoles or 'Marks and Spencer Two-Stripes'microkorg
- lol microkorg, yep 2 stripes were the bottom of the pile but yes Gola kids had a tough time of it also.fadein11
- Brexit shoes made me lolSimonFFM
- BK and Troop were viable alternatives in early 90's England. Troop has an interesting story I didn't know... https://en.wikipedia…Hayzilla
- @nairn lol I'm dying at the idea of brown BKs. Pre-camouflaged for the toilet.garbage
- Hi-Tec were for weird dads who played badminton and drove Volvos.Fax_Benson
- ^ You are of course referring to Silver Shadows.Hayzilla
- I think Fax means the Hi-Tec squash shoes there, but yes - Silver Shadows were popular with nice but square kids and Dads.Nairn
- They're almost quite cool. Almost, but also entirely not.

- Dunk resale prices are weird AF. I occasionally check prices and saw that my roller derby lows are going for $3000 avg. for no reason at all.face_melter
- Why people pay more than $150 for any pair of Nike's is beyond me.formed
- Formed. 'Cos there's ONLY been 100,000 pair made. They are 'Rare Collectibles'.

Hey there fellow kids!
I went to a nice Foot Locker and talked to one of the kids about what's cool and all lately to see how close or far I am from the current styles. I've never actually owned a pair of Jordan 1's or Adidas of any kind but I did pick up both of these shoes. He did explain that the Jordan Highs and Lows are more desirable than these Mids but not a big deal. And these Sambas are a trend now and I loved the colors and build quality. Still haven't worn the Jordans. I don't want to fuck them up lol.
- My 3 year old has those Jordans.nb
- My 6 year old has Jordan’s like that too lolmonospaced
- HahahaHijoDMaite
- What size are those? Asking for my 7 year old.palimpsest
- I am a fan of Sambas! I have an all black pair. They are my fancy sneakers.skinny_puppy
- My 12 year old son has that blue and black colorway. I have the classic red and black ones.fooler

- I wear 11.5 lolHijoDMaite
- ADIDAS has The Best Dragons.
or something.microkorg - not a fan of the colourways, but the silhouettes are on pointrobthelad
- You lucky ass bastard with the 11.5. Also those Sambas are fucking sick.garbage
- Sambas and Spezials are classics. Some people like Gazelle. Other like Campus (like me).oey_oey
- Jordan's 1 are awesome, Just had the 3.oey_oey
- I wish I could pull off AF1s, but my feet are comically large in proportion to my size, so everything I wear looks like a clown shoe no matter how much is spentgarbage
- My favorite shoes of all time are the OG Lotek Aitkens. They were patterned after AF1s.garbage
- https://rideukbmx.co…garbage
- I have it on good authority that my pair is still hanging on a line Birmingham, swinging for more than a decade now.garbage
- Sambas = Classic. AJs = will never understand these. Horrible design, and gaudy colors...reminds me of Reeboks I wore in hs.formed

Sneakers contribute a massive amount of pollution each year, equivalent to 50% of the aviation industry. Think about that when you're looking 'cool' in your plastic polyester pumps.
Instead get one pair of these and they'll last a lifetime if well cared for, and stop giving a shit about trying to look cool, why not 'be' cool inside with proper values:

Opt for the Steel Horseshoe heels for longevity.
- this guy is being very cool https://imgur.com/a/…hans_glib
- Anyone that thinks sneakers look 'cool' missed the good taste boat anyhow (with a tiny handful of exceptions).formed
- Agree with the leather shoe take. I have 4 pairs of Allen Edmonds, and a little conditioner and polish make them look new.section_014
- Gotta have rubber soles for the winter though.section_014

- I love my all leather J&J chukka boots. They have lasted a decade, and I have resoled the rubber twice with great results. They aren't going anywhere.monospaced
- I feel like I can only wear boots in LA for 2 months tops. The rest of the year feels too hot to have all that leather wrapped around your foot.FNP14
- I have Doc's that look exactly like this, probably 15 years old, same color, size, everythingGuyFawkes

- NB have always had good designers - a lot of their output is regional. The shoes for the Japanese market (one of NB's biggest) are amazing.face_melter
- I agree, but they definitely started investing in their lifestyle approach recently. Even more so than their special regional designs.sofakingback

You guys are graphic designers, but what's the joy in apparel decorated principally with LOGOS? do y'all just really love that swoosh?
For me having a brand plastered all over my clothes just makes me feel like I'm paying MY money to be a billboard for a company.
