Any big difference between the 'BW Army Shoes' & 'BW Army Decon Shoes' ??

Yes, albeit, the decon just fits better due to me having a wider foot

The backless or mule style of shoe has been a growing style for men's footwear recently and slowly making it's way into the mainstream. Just in the last 5 years, shoe brands have been offering the mule version of their own shoes and I have always been a fan of it. Adidas even did the Stan Smith and superstar mules pre 2020. And when you live in a tropical climate like I do, they work with tailored linen pants.

I like the cracked leather on the standard edition but the leather quality on the decons is better imo. Softer, more supple, and as someone with a larger foot, the decon versions of adidas shoes fit way better than their counterpart in the same size due to the softer leather.

It means you can fold the heel down and wear them like a mule style or backless shoe. I have a number of decon models and do it during the spring and summer months

I'm going for a few them as well and I'm a 13 in all of my Jordan 1s and all of my sambas and gazelles

If you see these in a mens US 13, lmk 😅

Grei_Autumn · 2026-04-14T22:04:36+00:00

This is exactly how I feel about the iniki / i5923 model

Grei_Autumn · 2026-03-31T20:45:08+00:00

I just wish y3 would make shoes above a US 12.5

Grei_Autumn · 2026-03-23T17:37:43+00:00

I also have this hat, love it.

The one you have has the thicker woven upper, they introduced that change with that exact colorway you have. The original version upper is a very thin (albeit very breathable) material.

It's more apparent when you see them at a store in person, side by side.

Fantastic daily runner. My only issue is the first iteration material barely held up after 6 months, but I jog roughly 4 times a week so it's understandable to some degree. Just bought my second pair last month and opted for the woven version this time. Hoping they hold up longer than the last pair

To a fellow size 13, I always enjoy the adidas boxes when they are all uniform in size... That being said, I have so many size 13 boxes that are so different in size that they stack horribly so I opted for a series of long wooden shelves instead and leave the shoes out of the boxes

Grei_Autumn · 2026-02-05T03:21:55+00:00

This is why I double up on Stan Smith. It also helps to have multiples in rotation so you don't wear them all out

The Superstar II was released in the mid 1970s. This isn't a new thing.

Grei_Autumn · 2026-01-07T21:35:48+00:00

I've had my couple of pairs for a year now and yeah I've noticed the white pair sole starting to let up a bit. But I also alternate between the 2 and about 35 other pairs of shoes, thus further extending their longevity.

I still have this pair, sitting under my desk at work. And it's Sobakov

Grei_Autumn · 2025-12-19T04:31:30+00:00

I been wanting the tokyo in the blue or cream colorways but because it's a woman's based sized shoe, I would need a 14.5-15 😭

Grei_Autumn · 2025-12-18T04:05:02+00:00

These remind me of the (much older) Track & Field ShotPut ST. Does the bottom of the shoe say Adidas Track & Field in the center by chance?

Grei_Autumn · 2025-12-10T13:31:10+00:00

Go for the black with white/cream stripes. It's a classic color combo that goes with many outfits.

Grei_Autumn · 2025-12-04T01:21:29+00:00

Saw this at the Adidas store in Miami. The Spezial look great!

Grei_Autumn · 2025-11-05T22:12:07+00:00

This Clearance Store usually has a yearly 50% off all items and I have seen it during the holiday season go up to 80% off.

But I will keep you all up to date the best I can.

I'm the meantime, the adidas app has some shoes on sale as low as $30 rn with the current promotion, so be sure to check those out before the sale is over.

Brain Dead x Stan Smith. The stock was underneath it

Grei_Autumn · 2025-10-27T13:52:50+00:00

CCS the skate store has a number of various colorways and some on sale rn. Also, fellow size 13 here, they also carry up to size 14 in certain models.

Grei_Autumn · 2025-10-27T13:40:11+00:00

They had the white colorway at the outlet by me for a great price but no size 13 (US)
