New Balance

Here are my well-loved, old New Balance 578s.

I’ve had these for almost 10 years.  Nice.  They still look right.  These are the shoes that got so much “ethical” press.  Made in the USA, non-leather…I still like the look.  Kind of uncool, but totally cool. 

Nice.

New Balance.  Classics.

Old // New Footwear

I found these shoes at a discount place years ago.  They are kind of a Clarks knock-off made of vinyl.  The tread are super thick, so they are nice in the winter, but they work any time.  I haven’t worn these much recently, so it’s make due and mend…nothing new in, but they are almost like new [...]

Racers!

Adidas ZXRacers here.  I love these.  SUPER comfortable trainer with a fantastic, classic look.

This yellow is a bit intense (the stripes are a purple, eggplantish color), but they look surprisingly good on.  Strange, but nice.

White and red.

Blue and white.

Campus Life (adidas style)

Adidas Campus II trainer.  Really nice shoe here.  Nice dark colorway with the royal blue stripe.  These also fit really well.

Adidas Americana

I’ve seen these (in pictures) with just blue stripes.  I’d love that.  This is a bit more Capt. America than I’m used to, but I do like them a lot.  These are some VERY comfortable trainers.  The nylon mesh is reminiscent of the Rod Laver style.  Good trainer here.

Classic footwear…

I’ve been rocking the old Vans recently.  I used to wear Vans constantly (about 15 years ago),  then they outsourced all their production and I didn’t really buy another pair for years.  This pair are very comfy.  I had to shorten the laces, because they were ridiculous.  Classic.  Summer.  Hardcore. GO!

Standard, classic.

Of Adidas Trainers, and other things that make life good…

Aditennis in canvas.  Nice shoe.  Very nice color ways for this season, too.  Be careful with the sizing.  I take a 1/2 size smaller in this than nay other Adidas trainer.

In other news, running has been quite good!  On days that I don’t feel like running outside I’ve been working the elliptical trainer.  On other [...]

Oh Adi Dassler, you and your legacy…

I scored (on the cheap at an outlet) a sweet pair of Adidas XZX 123’s.  Admittedly, the colorway is a bit, shall we say, provocative, but I really dig them.  That, and they are AMAZINGLY comfortable, makes me feel less like someone attempting to steal Kanye West’s recycled 80s style, and more like me wearing [...]

Trainer bliss..

Adidas Indoor tennis.  Lovely trainer.  Looks proper.  Again, understated and quality.  Very  comfortable.  No tread (as they were made to play on indoor carpet) so I imagine these can be a bit dodgy in wet or icy conditions.  I tend to wear them when it’s a bit nicer, but I’ve never had trouble.

Understated, yet Brilliant

The Adidas Gazelle OP.  This is a brilliant one piece canvass construction indoor futball shoe.  Wonderful.  This shoe is comfortable and looks proper.
