Sneakers
-
@Tago-Mago you mentioned your shoes like pottery sneakers, how are they compared to vans? Are they worth paying double the amount of money? How comfy are they when you spend the day in them and is there any separation of the sole visible? I have the IH sneakers which I think are made in the same factory but they seem to be very different
-
@FlavourFade i am travelling right now. I’ll send you some pics when I’m home again. In general, the sole seems to be fused to the shoe more solidly than the Vans. To me, they feel slightly more breathable than Vans, although this may simply be because they have laces as opposed to the slip-ons I wear from Vans

Thanks buddy enjoy your vacation! Slipons are great, only my girlfriend hates them

Got these today in the Mail, bit snug but very comfy to walk on the thick soles. Bought them for running but somehow think they look cool with my denim also.

Opinions on Doek shoes? Thinking of picking up a pair of their indigo court sneakers, the positive effects that come with the indigo dye they use is pretty cool.“ Indigo-dyed threads are woven on an original canvas using an old-fashioned power loom. Indigo dyeing, which uses Tadeai as a dye, is said to have deodorizing, antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet, and anti-insect effects. It is also said to be craftwork that is filled with the wisdom of predecessors.”

@spleef_oner I believe they are made by moonstar so should be same quality as shoes like pottery, lofgren sneakers or IH sneakers... To be honest I think you pay a lot of money for the "Made in Japan" slogan, make of that what you want. They are all better made than Converse but I don't feel like they are worlds apart. Still love all my moonstar made sneakers and don't regret paying more...

@FlavourFade ah right on, I didn’t realize they were made by moonstar, thanks for the info! I did find doek court sneakers for $85, which isn’t much different in pricing than converse 70, there is some shipping to take into account as they’re coming from Japan but it isn’t too bad.

Salomon S-Lab Ultra 3 lightweight trail runners. Really like these sneaks. Comfy, light and perfect for warmer weather.

my favorite sneakers are 'shoes like pottery'
In fact I bought my first pair 4 years ago and they are still good to wear to this day. They where on sale on END. so I bought the same pair again.

@scarfmace need a pair, keep looking for good deals, so sick man

@endo Funny you should mention it, the old pair have just undergone a black dye treatment. I'm very pleased with the result, I'll post a pic later.

So this is my 4 year old pair of 'shoes like pottery'. They used to be white but I did a black machine dye a couple nights ago. I love how they turned out, its not 100% black but the coulor has some eggplant vibe to it. Will prob wear them till I get a hole in my sole.
