They sent the right ones this time!

That's a good looking trainer Norse. What are they like width wise? I've got a slim foot but stuff like puma agitates after a while so have been put off them.

ASICS and New Balance are my bag for the minute but honestly wouldn't mind going for a pair of those Ds.

For €70 with all the discount codes etc, will do nicely for Pearl Jam today.

Fusion of OG Waffle Racers + Air Max SP -



I'm having these, if I get the chance -

My first pair of Vans since I was a teenager

Compared to my usual Nikes it's like wearing anvils on my legs, they are so heavy

I do love the styling though

I’m officially getting old and going for comfort over style.

I've been coveting these "Knu School" ones for a while, I'm just waiting in the hope they bring out a black pair with the black soles but the white vans logo on the side rather than all black.

Saw loads of these in Berlin recently. Not on younger people...I assumed these were European Sketchers.

I also didn't see anyone cool in Saucony, so I'm in the old man camp too.

All the kids were wearing classic Adidas, which you'd kinda expect in Deutschland.

I don't reallly get people buying saucony ?

I'd wear them running but not casually .

New pair for summer.

Saucony do more than technical running shoes.

Also jumping on the bandwagon...

Loewe x On Cloudtilt 2.0

Way too expensive for me but much nicer colorways available

But they still just look like running shoes.

It’s a bit like saying the Air max 1 is a running shoe

It may have been designed that way in the 80s but it’s very much now in the realm of street / casual wear

I buy them because...

The Shadow models come in great colourways.

The quality is top notch.

They are very comfortable.

They are good for people with wide feet, like myself.

They are often available in sales.

Most brands carry vintage/retro style runners, Saucony aren't unique in that regard, otherwise, you might as well say "I don't really get people wearing Nike, Adidas, Asics, NB, Karhu, Mizuno etc etc"

Many trainers, maybe even the vast majority, have their roots & lineage in runners. This isn't a new thing.

It might not be your thing, but it's been going on since the 70s. At least.
