    Those are purple? Hmm. On my monitor they're exactly Pepto Bismol pink.

    Yeah, phone camera makes them more pink which is what I would have preferred but the colorway is called violet shock for a reason.

    My favoured transports are sadly all OOP.

    Darker system:

    The Reebok Royal Flags have multiple failing components, and should probably have been retired last year. Although their narrow toes don't have the best synergy with my duck feet, the New Balance 420s (still available at some retailers) will do time in this system while I investigate alternatives.

    Brighter system:

    The TT Supers get the most foot-time as I'm trying to preserve the more retro-cool and comfortable Santas.

    Edit: Apologies for the terrible photos; my phone is no match for a proper camera.

    I don't belong in this thread at all, but I'm building a capsule wardrobe and apparently white sneakers are a must. So, these are on the way:

    My feet went through a weird morph several years back where they got really thick and my toes spread. So not really flat or wide feet through the arch, but I need a really good toe box. Probably because I put on weight and was on my feet doing construction for a couple years. The end result was a damn hard time finding shoes that fit comfortably, much less looked good doing so. Nothing that fits well looks good at this point, so I am jealous of the fun you all can have.

    What I will share is a picture (not mine) of my peak sneakerhead life (late high school):
    [​IMG]
    I was huge into Nike Huaraches and had these beauties. Had some limited edition Bo Jackson's as well. Unfortunately for me, I had to wear my sneakers since my family didn't have much money, and these got worn through and tossed eventually. I was really excited to see the Huarache lines revived several years ago, but alas, my toes couldn't smush into them any more.

    Went full @spwath today.

    Also, found the perfect laces for my ugly Christmas sweater AM90s.

    Color changing LED lights. It's like a Christmas tree threw up on my feet.

    I'll share an Air Max fit in spirit of those sweet Christmas in JuAugust? These are a NikeID x Pendleton "WhatThe?"

    Gore-Tex AF1s. Love that orange. Perfect shoes for rainy days in NYC. I should have bought multiple pairs of these.

    All black ones popped up briefly for $95 and I copped :). They're coming this week I think.

    In the meantime, I got some new laces. 20210908_081639_2.jpg 20210908_123322.jpg

    Just saw this thread. Y'all are nuts! Do cycling shoes count? My GF and I have a running joke that our staircase where all our cycling shoes live is the "$12k staircase" - not akshually $12k, but between us, 3 pairs of S-Works 7 road shoes, 4 pairs S-Works Recons, 1 pair each Sidi Dominators, 2 pairs Giro Empire VR90s. And then there's the castoffs and cutaways of old S-Works 6s, and 5s, that are relegated to winter training rides (and the "car pairs" that live in the trunks of our cars in case we forget shoes for a race. Sorry I don't have pics but most of mine are white - hers are a smattering of special editions and flouros/neons.
