Sneakers

Id recommend a pair of rick owen ramones high / low, you can normally pick them up in the sales. If you go for the mainline, the leather is built for a beating and the soles will also last you for years.
I picked up a pair with horsehide leather about 3 years ago and they are still going strong.

Perhaps the Brütting Diamond Brand is something for you @jay-cy
Handmade sneakers.On the Diamond web page you can find them up to size UK12, but as I now , they build their sneakers up to size14!
Watch out this Astroturfer on the main page in german. Click ‘Größe bitte wählen ‘.If you like their style, it is worth to contact them.
Here you can see my beloved ones

those looks cool! But i am looking for something with a "darker" white, like ice coloured and more sporty yet elegant. I can spend any amount, i was looking at these original designed by zegna couture:

@IronMan they look cool.

i wear the Scarpas the most. super comfy and had em >1year. PF Flyers are comfy too but dont wear em that often. interestingly enough the US made ones owned by New Balance now. and of course, New Balance. my go-to for 30+ years. and of course, the obligatory Crocs.

Any experience on these? What do you guys think?

No experience with this brand but I don't like them. It's the heel that kills it for me.

Seems like a lot to pay for a pair of Stan Smith knockoffs.

Have any of you tried the Buzz Rickson shoes? Is there a considerable difference between them an some Chuck Taylors? I'm more of a high tops guy, but I am curious. They look very clean.
I’ve been tempted but never pulled the trigger. History Preservation had the Buzz Rickson tiger striped camo high tops on sale awhile back but I couldn’t bring myself to buy them because I wasn’t sure of my size.

@Paul9221 I've got a pair of Buzz Rickson in a UK size 9. They fit true to size, where as brands such as shoes like pottery and Moonstar I'd have to size down by half a size.
The BR have a different sole construction to those made in Kurume. The construction is similar to chucks. I own a pair a chuck 70s too so have a good comparison. The BR are slightly wider, which suits my feet. The footbed/insole are super comfortable, I find that after a day on my feet, my feet are less fatigued in the BRs.
The colour of the canvas and sole is an ecru off-white, something else I prefer personally over ice white sneakers. I like them, and in summertime I wear them often. Clutch cafe also sell a black and olive drab version. I hope that helps?
