Sneakers and Pseudo-Sneakers

[Tron]

It does make me feel slighly womanly, but I really enjoy shoes, especially sneakers. My fondness for white sneakers is a gift and a curse, because I am ecstatic with a new pair for about a week, then they get dirty and my ecstasy changes to despair. Anyway, are there any other 2+2 sneaker freaks? Any favorite brands or styles?

Also, I am thinking about buying these ($75) with a Burton gift card I got for Christmas (Gravis is owned by Burton):



Thoughts?

i've worn this pair of shoes everyday for the past eight months. i am a slob.

Well... Uhm... They look like they were probably pretty cool when they were new!

I highly recommend getting a pair of Chacos. They're (expensive) sandals with one strap running through the sole, so they can't pull on your foot in any specific spot without adjusting through the rest of the fitting. They're great. I wear mine ~200 days a year.

I love Nike Air Max 95..... sneaker colllection stands at about 25 pair right now(i think 12 pairs of AM 95's right now)

I too am far too womanly with my love for sneakers. I have about 12 pairs in rotation and obsesively clean them after every wear for the first month, sometimes I won't even wear a new pair after awhile. That first permanent dirt mark or scratch is very depressing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] The sad thing is I try to keep one of most common colors

Man I love these. I used to be a huge sneaker fiend when I was young and owned these the first time around (mid 80's). I wish I could find a pair of orange and white dunk highs like I used to have. Sigh . . .

i need a pair of those basketball shoes that were popular 10 years ago, the ones with the thing on the tongue which you pumped up.
