Casual Shoe thread 2, in honour of long lost Casual Shoe thread 1....

[John Shuttleworth]

Is it my imagination or is my shoe taste VERY different to anyone else's here?

Probably but for me your taste is better... Though I'm not sure about the checked slippers. I can't be doing with all those Basket Ball moon boots.

My Top Ten casual shoes:

1. Diadora - Bjorn Borg Elite
2. Adidas - Forest Hills
3. Adidas - Stan Smith
4. Adidas - Gazelle
5. Clarks - Wallabbee
6. Nick Deakins of Leeds - Moccasin style designs
7. Lacoste - tennis shoes
8. Patrick Cox - Wannabe loafer
9. Clarks - Desert Boots
10. Red Wing - Chukka Boot

and this is one of the best places to shop:

Casual shoes casual shoes... I've got:

Jordan xix's (black and red, now that I actually look at them, they are butt ugly.)
Jordan 18s white/red, possibly one of the best jordans ever made.. I think they're GORGEOUS and would totally go look for more pairs.



Couldn't agree more, Not the greatest fan of any of the new J's, but the 18's were sweetens, some of the fakes colorways were ridiculous, still almost wish I'd got the purple suede pimitastic pink soles...almost!

I guess it's just a culture thing, the more hip-hop culture is heavil influenced by US sporting culture, hence the love of hi-tops etc. Then the more chavy street culture tends to be into tennis shoes, people who wear running shoes with outfits they think look smart (ie jeans and shirts). Dress shoes are a different story, but honestly, the human foot is not pointy, so I can't stand guys who wear pointy shoes.
For some reason I excuse this rule for hot girls....

I was going to get a pair of bright pink ones, with a more 'hotter' pink lining... they were soo sweeet.

Such a good pair of shoes.

Just a question I get that Jordans are collectible but are they just more of a trend or do you guys think they're well good looking :p

[kaitster]

Some of them are gorgeous, others.. not so much.

As for the j18s, this is the color I have:

I don't allow anyone to pick shoes for me unless its football boots and my dad finds something cheap usually old school.

Nope, it is Kait:p

Case, what are you then?

This isn't OT right?

[Case]

Im kinda fascist on spellings of names, so to me it's "Kate"....though id take Kait over Cate in a heartbeat...

To give away ones name is to give away ones power, don't look them in the eyes elst they can see your soul!

[red & wite army]

Exactly. My name isn't really Jason - it is in fact Marmaduke.
