Sneakers
-
Just picked up a pair of Norda shoes. Light and comfortable with a decent off road sole. I am not a runner but these will be used for city breaks etc when racking up the miles exploring around. Norda are a Canadian brand, looking forward to seeing how I get on witht hem, so far so good.

I like the clean look of those sneakers. Thanks for posting, I’ll look them up on the web.

Olukai sneakers - they are very comfortable and look great.

How are the nordas @ddtrash ? I’m considering them as my next trail running shoe to replace hoka speedgoat 5
-
@Nik I am not a runner so can’t really comment on them from that perspective.
They seem comfortable and well put together. The sole unit is plenty aggressive enough for trail running.
I have not had Hoka shoes either so can’t really compare.
Sorry I can’t really offer the kind of comparison you were looking for.

@Matt Definitely recommend them! I feel like they work better with my jeans than a lot of sneakers do. Wish it were a wider release beyond Undefeated, would’ve loved to grab another pair on sale at some point.

Matt those brand blacks are great
-
@Nik I saw a size 11 on Huckberry.com recently. their last size for $150. is that the magic size?

Hey guys, I have never been a sneaker head and before I startet wearing boots a lot, I mostly had Vans or Chucks. Now I am looking for something for summer to wear with my denim or even shorts.. I have Axel Arigato leather sneakers which look cool but are not that comfy and a bit heavy for low top sneakers and some IH sneakers but for some reason my feet sweat like hell in them...
I had the catch ball picnic (they were perfect) some time ago but had to let them go because they were so dirty and white shoes don't go great with tomato sauce...
I am between:
- Asahi Deck Shoes
- Doek oxfords
- maybe just some vans authentic and replace them when done....
I know there are a lot of other brands but I don't want a second "chuckish" shoe next to my IH sneakers

@FlavourFade just some anecdotal information, but my tattooist was wearing a pair of Asahi deck shoes last time I saw him. I asked him about them, and he said the quality was garbage and he should’ve just grabbed standard Vans. Apparently the rubber started splitting after only a week or so. Make of that what you will!

@FlavourFade the soles on the Vans I've had in the past have always lasted longer than any other sneaker brand I've worn. Can usually find them with a discount if you shop around too!
That being said, I've got a little too used to the running style shoe, and cons/vans feel a bit too flat soled for me, don't find them anywhere near as comfy.
Don't get me started on Stepney Workers Club

Thanks guys! Maybe I just got caught too much in that "Made in JP" thing but I was so satisfied with my catch balls that I always wanted something similar. But my Vans in the past never let me down tbh.
Maybe I just go look for some good deals
-
@FlavourFade I love my vans, buy them regularly. I’ve also bought shoes by pottery a couple of years ago and am pretty happy with them so far.
