I never even knew wearing certain NB shoes was what old white men wear. If it's true,I guess I can say I never paid any attention to what shoes old white men wear.  I wear them because they're comfortable and have a high arch. Like any other casual shoe, the lining and support breaks down after 6-9 months and it's time for replacements. I'm old enough and have lived with plantar fasciitis enough to not give two shits about some punk thinks about my choice of shoes. There's a guy at work that is all about his Nike collection. I think it's rather stupid but he is also a huge couch supporter of Kapernick and his causes and everything Democrat Party. |

At some point after my early 20's brand became so much less important than value. Once some minimum quality and aesthetic is met, I don't give a shit about the logo. I don't have gout, extra wide feet, need special arch support, stand for hours a day or walk miles per week. I'm currently wearing Asics gel shoes, because when the Puma shoes (one time deal for $19 at Costco) I was wearing before that needed replaced Asics were the best deal I could find (2 pair delivered for $56). I think it was Sketchers before the Pumas. I was wearing $150 Nikes in high school 25 years ago, and can't imagine spending that on a pair of sneakers today.

My goal is life is do the opposite of anything Mike Tyson does........why would I care what shoes he wears? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I recently learned that Mike Tyson wears the classic New Balance dad shoes. He swears by them and says they are super comfortable, nothing else like them. I gotta say, I'm New Balance curious. I'm not going to wear them though and look like that. Is there anything else out there that feels good for a whole day but doesn't look like that? I like a clean plain pair of white sneakers. It feels like summer here already in California. I wore my white Air Force 1s this weekend, both days, and my feet are hurting and I'm thinking about looking for alternatives. Have you thought this through? You have goals related to what the man does, and you ask us why you should care what the man does? Shouldn’t you want to make sure you wear the “opposite” shoes he does? Wouldn't that necessitate knowing what shoes he wears? What is the opposite of a type of shoe, anyway? Do you just go barefoot? |

A young lady at AutoZone complimented me on them today.

New Balance and Asics are what I wear most. Not really into the white ones, though. I like the colorful "athletic hiker" models.
Of course, I still keep a pair of Classic Jordans in the closet, for the THOTs.

My only complaint is the rollmark. If it weren’t for that big “N” that completely f’s the styling, I’d be a fan
Take any pair of their shoes and picture it without the “N” — it looks way better |

Waaaa! Society is going to hell. The nuclear family is disappearing. War has been declared on middle class values! Also arfcom. Icky poo! I wouldn't be caught dead in new balance shoes, even though they come in many sizes and are comfortable. People might think I'm a middle class dad that mows his own grass. |
