>>512272046
Sheeeiit I was wearing these back in 2002 you little whipper snapper.

>>512271987
No, the 990s become fashionable (dad core) at that time, but it took a couple of years for them to become more hype and launching new models.

>>512271161 (OP)
Too expensive. I wear cheap Dockers and even ALDI discounter boots.

>>512272341
aldi boots taste the best they have stuff crust

>>512272660
My ALDI boots copy Timberlands and are not edible.

>>512271161 (OP)
Here you go, nigger! You’re welcome!

Successful poison campaign associated them with being normie consumer dads. Even /pol/'s fetish for trad families couldn't overcome that poison.

>>512272996
whoo tok the picture?

speak for yourself
i never leave the house without my nigger stompers on

>>512273165
way to dox yourself retard

Old running shoes became stylish when modern synthetic ultra light running shows became popular, even as casual wear. NB 99x series is timeless in grey and looks very good worn in, don't keep them clean.

wearing them as we speak

>>512274042
you won't do shit

>>512276811
shouldn't you be cucking to an orangutan you swiss alps cocoa-drinking dandy?

>>512271161 (OP)
they've been around forever dumbass

i wornem approx 10 years cuz they hire americans and manufacture within the US, as contrasted with nike who has paid slave wages to some flips or sub-indian wretches for the past 20 years

>>512272046
Because people are poor, retard

It started off as buying stuff made in USA

But the shoes started getting made in China, and also they just fall apart.
The sole will fall off because it's literally just glued on, and you'll quickly wear holes through the side and/or bottom.

>>512280024
one thing i never understood who made that lowtop style first sketchers or newbalance.

>>512280338
I can't help you there, I didn't even notice that was a thing.

>>512271161 (OP)
they were like VANS for boomers
except VANS have gone to shit and don't even do normal leather shoes since the iPhone came out
which explains a lot
just buy Nike or smth

>>512271161 (OP)
They are the most memes shoes ever made wtf do you mean?

>>512280700
I used to wear vans in the 90s when I was a kid, now you see every little brown kid wearing them ad nauseam. that's cultural appropriation from white skate culture.

>>512271161 (OP)
that combination of colors looks cool

I liked my 515's shame they are now made from different material

>>512281185
Pros in the biz call it a colorway

>>512280979
yeah me too but back then (even through the early '00s, see VANS Judo) they made their shoes with the same rigor british faggots make heir dress shoes... I was young and stupid and when I went on the mountain said to myself "man these old VANS are just right so I don't destroy my regular shoes" guess what VANS were perfect for climbing mountains for 2 days straight... and also wore them 7 years afterwards... best pair of shoes I ever bought
VANS were great, rest in peace

>>512281668
>colorway
awesome, didn't know

>>512281777
I would wear them down to nothing, lots of holes in the canvas and the heels/soles would wear down from bombing hills next to my house.

>>512281934
I'm pretty sure it was called "common sense" before women got involved
that being said there are some crazy parrot-colored (green/red/yellow/blue) shoes from the 90s

>>512271161 (OP)
its literally all i wear. And i put charactures of kikes a niggers in my shoes.

>>512282154
yeah they were lovely... the industries' current day offer (including top tier Globe, Lakai etc.) is just sad compared to what we had

>>512282184
dang, no wonder everything looks so grim, are you gonna wath the new movie of the devil wears prada?

>>512271161 (OP)
Because they were cheap and good shoes, they didn't deserve it.

>>512282449
no I'm afraid of overweight black "females" infested with aids and other stuff

>>512282573
they were though
the sad thing is that they look like shit compared to every shoe in their category (Adidas, Nike, Rebook, even no-name shoes) and even other categories (skate shoes, normal shoes)
it's like they go out of their way to shit in the middle of the street, putting a shitty logo with the material they could have build a side harness with

>>512272046
>>512271161 (OP)
I used to wear these when they weren't cool.

>>512284062
what do u wear now, you non-levitating faggot?

>>512284312
the same type of shoe just a different brand. New balance used to be like the cheap knock off of nikes. you could buy a pair for like 10 bucks.... and they weren't very comfortable. And because of nastalgia I guess they turned them into airwalks so millennials can pay 100 bucks for them. They did the same thing with pabst beer.

We didn't buy pabst and new balance because they were cool. We bought them because we were poor or didn't care.

>>512271161 (OP)
I call them the Jobs Stompers

>>512284835
>buys ching chong jeet shoes
>"well, for the same price it lasts half as long but I cope and somebody has to suck their dick"
thank you for confirming that total genX death is a thing the Lord would rejoice in
fuckin animal

I got Sketchers shoes, they are super comfy, but the name sure is strange. Sounds like some homeless guy called Sketchers that people call Sketchy.

>>512286198
they are excellent theoretically but being made by drugged up mexicans (or other such filth) takes a hit on quality control

>>512276906
only a soecial line of new balances. most of them are made in China as god intended

>>512271987
The grey standard model shoes have always been somewhat fashionable to wear for white men. Even if not fashionable they were always at least acceptable.

>>512288977
It is fairly well known which models are made in US models. People do generally gravitate towards those. It is a considerable amount too not some tiny token production. I think it is about 25%-30%.
