Any good alternatives to Vans or Converse for white sneakers under $100?

adidas stan smith. Will have to wait for a redrop of the all white version though.

KW should be slightly better than vans, leather material and less branding shit. But their soles are only glued on as well and not reinforced by stitches.

dnc, you will look j.crew tier at best and shitty sneaker tier at worst.

Also adidas stan smiths get alot of attention here, the sole looks a little thin for my taste, i think i prefer adidas shell toes

>> No.7971114

OP here. I like the silhouette of the Kent Wangs pretty well. I feel like the Adidas are too thick and round. Are Kent Wangs worth buying?

How can anyone like these? The stitching is nasty, the pleather looks pleathery, and they look like they're modeled off cheap nurse shoes. Vans is above Kent Wang by a long shot.

Converse JP's don't count I presume, though they look different from the standard model

I bought mine for 100$ exactly

not a terrible shoe.

still, that toe really bothers me personally

not even the curved black line on it, just the way it's shaped

the standard converse shoe is so much more comfy tho, these break in sooo slowly.
I like the toe thingy, it gives it a lil' well needed complexity

where'd you find it for less than 100? I live in Sweden so I suppose they go much cheaper in the US etc

So do I go for the Kent Wangs (which may have quality control issues), the Superga 2750 Cotu Classic (which it seems that mostly women wear and have a kind of weird silhouette), or just some vans?

>> No.7972968

>>7972959
vans because you obvs dont know what you want and will regret whatever decision you make so at least have it be the least expensive option

Kent Wang does have 30 day returns though. They would be $50 more than Vans Authentics. Kind of hard to decide.
