They just redesigned chucks.
How do you like them? I don't really like it.
They're supposed to be more comfortable or something. They're also like $75 a pair. Not worth IMO.

Can we all agree that Chucks make any outfit look cheaper? Or if not cheaper, a little more adolecent? I mean when I think of chucks I think of all the kids who wore them in middle school.

>> No.10150164

the whole point of chucks are to be a cheap and great shoe for weight lifting (squats, leg presses,etc). no one actually wears these outside the gym or house do they?

Not really. They're classic shoes. You can certainly wear them wrong. Some people look like they have clown feet with them on, or they just wear them until they're too ratty.

But I think they can be paired well.

The difference is so minimal as to completely make this a non-event. Hoo boy, different eyelets, that surely merits a nerdrage.

That said, I'm glad to see they're experimenting with different insoles. The insoles in most chucks is mediocre at best. Might make them harder to use as lifting shoes, but I'm assuming they'll still sell the classic ones that I can rip the insole out of.
