I'm deciding on whether to buy sambas (or similar in fashion alternatives, feel free to suggest), but I don't wanna shell out 120$ if they are gonna go out of style soon has they have been popular for some time now.

Also which color combo? I found the black ones (with white stripes for 80$). And do they fit like Stan Smith (aka 11 SS = 11 samba?)

Thank you

they've been popular for nearly 80 years dog i think you're in the clear

beta cunt

They haven't even existed 80 years.

I care about what gets me pussy

What alternative would you suggest for a sneaker/trainer? Can't always wear loafers/dress shoes

what are good alternatives?

handball spezial
nike field general
reebok club c vintage revenge

what else

I hate to be that guy but I stopped wearing Sambas like 5 years ago because they were getting too common (they were always a common shoe but never seen as on trend until fairly recently). I switched to handball spezials but I've noticed the last year they've been getting more popular too

Garbage shoe. The Adi Ease is so much better.

I have Sambas, the black ones like those. I don't really care if they're in fashion. They're comfy and go with a good amount of outfits.

Don't worry about what's in or out. Wear what makes good outfits.

Have you ever had Stan Smiths? What sizing of Samba compares to that?

>>18479015 (OP)
They've been popular for decades. They're not even "fashion" anymore, they're just footwear

>I care about what gets me pussy

brother you have got some low standards if the boys you want fuck you bc of your clothes and not what's going on between your ears

>>18479205
What's in fashion?

>>18479241
whatever shoes they put in the window in high street stores

>>18479015 (OP)
anon, sambas have been popular literally for decades and yes I know its been until relatively recent times that they've also become fashion footwear, you are safe with them, safest color combo is the one from your pic but mine are brown white

>And do they fit like Stan Smith (aka 11 SS = 11 samba?)

never used stan smith but from some of my current adidas I can tell you that
samba = tight
spezial = not tight at all ( they are a bit bigger than their actual number size )
gazelle = in the middle

>>18479033
the samba is from 1949 my guy

>>18479027
Any gat based shoe works. If you're lucky you can get genuine surplus gats, or even margiela replicas

>>18479209
I'll put my dick in your ear and fuck what you heard

>>18479369
Is it 2029 yet?

You keep using them for their intended purpose.

the new memeshoe are puma speedcats. sambas are like panda dunks tier now

>>18479520
Nearly. like I said: >>18479024

>>18479376
>genuine surplus gats
>good
words that can only be said by someone who's never worn them. the surplus ones are probably the single worst iteration of the gat ever made. the margiela replicas were a big deal because they had the same look but were actually comfortable to wear.
crown northampton makes the best gat right now and they're cheaper than mm replicas.

are zoomers really wearing driving shoes on the street? lmao.
you're supposed to leave your driving shoes in your car and switch shoes when you exit so you don't track dirt back into your detailed interior. you have a manual transmission sports car and you keep the interior detailed right anon?

>>18479757
Yeah I like my sneakers ultra goofy too.

>>18479183
I have both shoes in the same size and they fit well

>>18479098
margiela gats

>>18479015 (OP)
the black and white samba's are pretty timeless so I wouldn't worry about it

>>18479072
>I care about what gets me pussy
Wearing 80 dollar woman’s shoes is not the way senpai

Thank you all.

I ended up buying the black and white for 90$ and the found the biege and black spezial for 60$.

I fomoed lol I make 250k so who cares

>>18480682

what a loser

>>18479015 (OP)
Just know the tongue is massive and youll either have to create a fold inside the shoe or where it out which looks dumb and is annoying

>>18479015 (OP)
who gives a fuck just wear what you like

>>18480686
Having owned both the Sambas and the Spezials, the Spezials are better in every way

>>18479369
Looks more like a chukka than what it does now.

>>18479015 (OP)
>wanting to be like everyone else
At least try to stand out just a bit bro

>>18479015 (OP)
fucking goycattle npc retard, I'd love to stab anyone wearing sambas with a screw driver
>>18479072
>I care about what gets me pussy
you are one huge walking pussy

>>18479760
yes.
speedcats and adidas goodyear racers were also really popular in europe in 2006-2008. those with a pair of g-star or diesel jeans was a great fit.
