We haven't had one of these in a while, last year we used to have /designer sneaker general/ threads. Lately there's just been Common Projects threads.
Post and discuss either footwear from notable labels, or footwear that has been ethically and thoughtfully constructed. Or just interesting stuff will do.
I'll spam shoes for now, always liked Our Legacy's simple stuff and they regularly go on sale, but are a bit harder to find secondhand

I clearly missed the filing pieces meme. I only found out about them around a month ago. I hate the hypebeast design anyway so it's all good.
Colton Miller
Filling pieces are fuccboitier
Robert Morales
These ma+ sneakers are the first time ive been turned on my sneakers in quite a while, so minimal but interesting and sexy at the same time
Brandon Parker
These are sick.
Jonathan Diaz
man those are sexy
Eli Cook
Incredibly interesting user, but I have to say wow, that price.

whoa bump, this not getting attention says a lot about the current state of the board
Andrew Campbell
It's summer...
Jordan Ramirez
You gotta remember that high-end sneaker means something different to a teenager with a minimum wage part-time job
They think buying a pair of Achilles Lows is an investment, they're too young to understand that Common Projects is just adidas for the tax bracket above them
Josiah Stewart
pic related, but I think Veeky Forums is in summer mode for sure Kind of true user, but they're only interested because the internet memed them and told them they were good.
So the "hur dur this is so durable I'll just resole them" is a meme. Buying higher end does not save any money at all for sure.
I'm side less with being interested about which label something is from or the status that comes with a piece, I just care about whether they were constructed more ethically and thoughtfully and the potential sourcing of the materials.
Jace Johnson
Kktp. Kicking myself i missed out on these when they were on deep sale
Grayson Myers
as a teenager with a minimum wage part-time job, ouch too true :(
got a pair of derby shines otw & bball lows on the horizon for s/s. i think those place above adidas tier.
someone who is wealthy should treat all the sick achilles colorways as adidas tier fun shoes. be nice to have mint achilles just b/c.
Lincoln Foster
thinking of copping what u guys think
Nolan Kelly
Ssense sale? Looks alright, i like the thickness of the sole. Other than that theres nor much I could comment on
Charles Bell
Moar
Josiah Morgan
totokaelo, but I think ssense have these on sale too
Anthony Cox
short buss aesthetic
Sebastian Ortiz
is this some collab with Nike or just a shameless ripoff?
Lucas Roberts
You mean the ETQ pieces in the OP?
Nicholas Diaz
yes
Austin Lee
Not a collab, nor really a shameless ripoff. Inspired by the nike silhouette? Definitely, but a lot of ETQ stuff follows that similar look. Lots of higher end companies are taking inspiration from the classics, pic related is the most obvious.
Hunter Stewart
WHAT to cop from END summer sales now?
I like minimalist style so can u recommend something under 200 euros?
why would you ask other people what you should buy u fking cuck
Wyatt Collins
memeword:D i was looking for advice, so many shoes there. ofc i wont buy shoes that i dont like, summerfag
Tyler Bailey
The Diemme's are nice, very very minimal but made in Italy.
I checked the End sale earlier and I'll look again real quick (by now not much is left). You should consider Buddy, made in Japan and dirt cheap on there. Our Legacy Off Courts are on sale, they aren't too minimal but those are the sneakers I want.
There were also some Zespas on sale. Butteros are kind of ugly to me, but there are a lot on there. At this point it's really whatever you can find in your size that will make the decision.
Chase Garcia
what's up Veeky Forums? why don't you like colourful shoes?
Ryan Russell
I was just going to complain about the CAD but great, now I'm thinking about copping the Diemme's on Ssense.
Jeremiah Sanders
just bought these MA+ for 530 USD

grailed these recently
Nicholas Johnson
Also: Was looking through the archive and found an user was making Pricey Footwear Generals/ (warosu.org/fa/thread/S10702572) if anyone wants to search them. I remember someone else making Designer Footwear Generals last summer
Hi kitter. You like them user?
Elijah Ramirez
for a second I thought you said $350 and I did a double take
Isaiah Diaz
Just looked to see how much their shoes are. Time to start selling my butthole I think.
Daniel Williams
Aww, such a cute kitty. ^_^
Do you happen to own CPs? How are Acne Adrians compared to them?
Grayson Wood
I have to wait for them to arrive, and will forget to since I never usually post here. Havent been to Veeky Forums for more than a couple of mins at a time in 3 or so years, but randomly thought to check out what's going on. This thread seems to be the only thing worth opening so I dont think ill stick around
Camden Evans
Can I post these here even if I got them used?
Gonna take them to a cobbler and get the topy'd some time down the line.
Isaiah Gutierrez
yeah I am loving them so far. just worried about getting them dirty/cut
I don't own any CP's but from what I can tell they are similar. the quality of the adrians is pretty good though I can tell you that.
those look really cool
Michael Russell
this shoe is fucking beautiful
Adam Jenkins
I remember reee was making one everyday
Jack Bailey
these are fucking ugly, terrible effort for ma+
Juan Moore
What does this even mean
Julian White
Sick
Jace Stewart
Do you browse anywhere else? The board is real shit right now, thanks for appreciating my thread >dirty/cut Biggest worry with expensive stuff (especially footwear), I wish I were rich and just didn't give a fuck because I don't like babying my stuff at all. Yeah thanks for reminding me, REEE was OP before he left the board completely.
Still stuck on the Diemmes, anyone happen to have them or have fits of them? (inb4 they're basic sneakers, bitch)
Zachary Rodriguez
Or should I wait to find a good deal on Our Legacy Off Courts? I've been after this pair for a while.
Josiah Torres
ID?
Jack Gomez
i love these and almost bought em, but my visvim patricians fill that role in my wardrobe. pic related, waiting for bahn mi right now.
Ryder Thomas
ah, I was waiting for a photo from you lol those are definitely neat. I've never been a fan of broguing but it makes the shoe look almost floral there.
David Parker
Wings + horns' footwear is seriously underrated/overlooked. I'm a huge fan of retro New Balance trainers, and these are clearly a riff off of those imo. I love everything about these sneakers, they're perfect.
I'm honestly surprised by how little I see W+H talked about on Veeky Forums. Clothes made in Canada, Shoes made in Italy, all inspired by a brilliant hybrid of Japanese and Canadian menswear. Honestly my favourite brand for the last few years. I'd have already bought these sneakers but I can't decide if I want the all-blacks or the ones with grey detailing.
Andrew Hughes
I think those are my least favourite out of the W+H line, much prefer what Victory Sportswear is doing with the classic NB sneaker look.
I'm Canadian and I love W+H, but some of their collabs have missed the mark like Adidas & NB, why would they spout Canadian made clothes then go produce sweatshop stuff with Adidas? And even NB makes made in America/UK and their collab is Asian-made. Makes me not want to buy from them. I'm just rambling.
Josiah Foster
Forgive my board etiquette - I am looking for the Spring 2017 catalogs for some of the shoe companies. Where can i locate these now that most companies have gone to digital catalogs, and have paywalls around them?
Thanks, Veeky Forums -
Lucas Hughes
I love pic related though, really awesome collab. I should keep an eye out for these because I want them.
Asher Gray
i went to their website but couldnt really tell, which model that is that pic, help me please
Ian Stewart
what the fuck are these shoes, do you people even wear a man's shoes shelling out 500+? They're sneakers.
Ryan Flores
