I recently got a pair of KVAs, and plan to get some other stuff on sale at some point, but I gotta have some normal/cheaper stuff to wear as beater shoes.
Recommendations/Experiences/What are your beaters? Right now a pair of Stans are my main pair, but I'm planning on getting New Balances or something (maybe the J Crew ones, but they're expensive). Preferably below $150, but definitely under $200.

I got a pair of white sambas as my new beaters. There's a foam pad under the sole for extra arch support but if you peel it off they're way more comfortable. Plus they look better dirty imo

>> No.10089097

If I spend more than $100 on shoes the idea that I should be taking care of them is always in the back of my mind, so personally I like chucks or vans for real beaters. That way I have zero inhibitions when it comes to damaging them.

Speaking of GATs,

Are these legit? $55 is super low for Dior Homme. They aren't my size anyway, but maybe someone else would like to get them.

Get em in white.

There are different variations to the white colorway, though. You could get it in all-white or something if you look for it enough.

Is there such a thing as Stan Smiths with a red tongue logo and red suede heel with the slightly yellow sole?

I've found some in red but the heel tab is plastic looking. I hear the ones with a suede heel are European and are better quality than the US version.

I've found one with the suede heel but the soles look too white and not yellowish like they should

i know that but some soles look more yellow in the pictures even when they're new. Compare the plastic heel tab with the suede heel tab. They look different.

I saw a middle aged woman that looked like she had learning disabilities wearing stans today.

Yes, if it has the suede heel tab it will have the yellowed sole. I don't know how they treated the rubber but the soles on those shoes yellow *very* fast. If it looks white in the image, the display model has likely just been taken out of the box.

I have both the American and EU version which together came with white soles when brand new. The soles on the American stans are still white, while the EU pair yellowed within 1-2 weeks.

Anyway, they don't ban people from wearing stans just because they're middle aged.

You could wear anything and still be unfashionable (or fashionable). Just consider the amount of designer-flogging versus fits on WAYWT that goes on here.

Is it better if the soles turn yellow or something? I never really got why people liked that.

Just personal preference. Adidas seems to have gone with more vintage stylings on the EU version, so it would make sense for them to yellow quickly.
