looking to get a new pair of sneakers. i used to wear vans but they wear out too quick.
i'm between these two, adidas samba vs. nike davinho.
how does Veeky Forums feel about these? i kinda liked the nikes better because the sambas looked a little chunky when i tried them on, but i've heard the sambas are surprisingly durable for the price.
does anyone have the nikes and can vouch for their durability?
Robert Gray
also i usually don't post on Veeky Forums so i'm not really sure how you guys feel about sambas sneaker-wise
Chase Diaz
Nikes are dead. Get the sambas, very solid shoes.
Hunter Hall
sambas are okay but get the normal tongue ones
Juan Murphy
also, if i get the sambas how do you guys feel about the white ones? or should i just stick with black?
Isaac Jenkins
get the white sambas they are p effay
Henry Gutierrez
Sambas pros: they last for a long time cons: they don't breathe like, at all.
I had a pair that lasted me all through high school and college. I can't remember why I got rid of them but I wish I hadn't.
Nathan Mitchell
thanks guys.
i think im actually gonna get the white sambas and the davinhos in black. the nikes are cheap so i might as well get them, they seemed to look and feel pretty good so hopefully they last pretty long but if not no big deal.
before i do, does anyone here actually have a pair of the nike ones?
Jason Diaz
Not sure which can be found for cheaper but you should also consider these
Brayden Murphy
i actually do like those a lot, but i think the sambas are cheaper right now, dicks has a $10 off $50 with free shipping so i'm getting the sambas for like $45.
can't really go wrong with that price.
and if i don't like the nikes im just gonna return them
thanks guys!

Great shoe, but holy shit be prepared for the squeaking.
Joshua Turner
or just get them all white with gum sole
Nathaniel Bennett

those nikes look like indoor football shoes

I have the Davinhos above. Very good breathability, stay cooler, but had thinner than average soles. The gum soles will start to crack after 300 miles (which are probably the lifespan of the shoes anyway) The sambas are considerably more durable, but less breathability/heat up faster.

I dislike the Davinhos, the big obnoxious stark white logo on the side mades them look kinda tacky in my opinion.
I think the Sambas look better, especially if you're going for the white ones !
Angel Gutierrez
Mine don't squeak at all lmao

motherfucker you must walk like youre in a fucking chain gang. I've been wearing sambas since like middle school and never had them squeak once.
