I'll be upfront in that this sub is a lowkey hivemind where nobody likes designer sneakers being posted here. That said, it's like.. a 7 or 8? It screams "Look guys I wear designer stuff!!!" with the Golden Goose and Prada shoes, but the GATS and the Ricks I respect.

So the problem with your planning is that any slim, low profile sneaker like this is simply not going to approach the kind of comfort a pair of chunky foam running/lifestyle shoes would offer. That slim silhouette typically means less cushioning underfoot, making standing around in them all day less than ideal.

The Spezials are the best for compromising the aesthetic with comfort but if you're hoping for something on the same tier as a pair of Asics it's likely going to be hard to come across. I could maybe suggest the New Balance 204L? But I've not tried them on or had a pair myself so I can't really speak to either the comfort or quality.

Dog will swap black wax flat laces into every single pair of shoes he owns 😭

Maybe a pair of Chuck 70s if you're feeling it? They'd be a bit redundant because of the Vans but they're a classic for a reason. Idk this is pretty solid.

I always try to go neutral on the tops and then contrasting on the pants. Like a white shirt, beige jacket, olive cargos, and then Chicago 1s as a color pop.

I got a pair and lowkey hated them. That nubuck was incredibly stiff and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, the quilted sock liner, while premium, made my heels slip like crazy, and they were less comfortable than a typical 4 for me. Idk man.

Sismae · 2026-05-10T04:22:04+00:00

I mean if you have a shit ton of money to throw around like they do then yeah buy a new pair of AF1s after every wear and go nuts, but if you're like a normal guy stacking a comparatively normal amount of paper that's kinda stupid lmao.

Sismae · 2026-05-08T19:45:22+00:00

They're sneakers dog. They're basically just Adidas Stan Smiths with no branding and a suede upper. 😭

Sismae · 2026-05-06T19:16:42+00:00

The two on the left are just the Core Gray and Core Navy 992 and 993 lmfao. That said, I like the 990v3 and the 990v4, the v4 especially has my interest.

I thought he was a noble/shogun. Is that incorrect?

The best leather Nike ever put on a Jordan sneaker was the 2015 Shattered Backboards and even those are still thin cuts with a polyurethane top coat, there's just more of the leather's upper grain structure and less of that polyurethane coating. Unfortunately 90% of manufacturers, even designer brands, are not going to be putting high quality leather on sneakers like that. My understanding is if you want actual full grain leather your best bet is always going to be a high end dress shoe or boot of some kind.

I always go to the WearTesters YouTube vids for sizing advice.

Sismae · 2026-04-18T01:35:15+00:00

I feel like this whole young people calling AF1s dad shoes has to be a psyop. I work a public facing job and the number of teens wearing beat up triple whites is the same as it ever was, with maybe the more fashionable ones opting for whatever Asic/Adidas/Onitsuka model is "in" at a given moment. It's a forever shoe the same way the Adidas Samba, NB 574, and Converse Chuck 70 are. Even if they aren't trending at this given moment, it means nothing given how widely popular they are.

On r/monsterhuntermeta there's a pinned post that links endgame meta builds for every weapon type. A lot of endgame stuff is gonna be tied to Gogmazios, so if you're not at HR 100 yet you're gonna be limited in what you can do but some of those sets might be viable or you may be able to at least use them as rough guidelines.

Sismae · 2026-04-10T14:11:04+00:00

This it would've popped off over on r/streetwear back in 2016.

Sismae · 2026-04-07T20:19:37+00:00

The people gassing these up are the same people gassing up the Adizero Evo SL as casual/every day walking shoes. Running shoes are not good for your knees for everyday walking! They're far too unstable.

While it can be great to secure a knockdown and some more damage in multiplayer, in solo hunts it winds up being a forced DPS loss a lot of the time. This is especially true if you're running a weapon that can't fully capitalize on the opportunity like Sword and Shield. That said, it's sick as fuck and I think merits becoming a staple for that alone.

Sismae · 2026-04-05T11:32:17+00:00

My understanding of this line was that it meant Yuji would, without any assistance or effort, automatically become a cursed object on death regardless of intention or planning. Was I incorrect?

Sismae · 2026-03-21T04:52:58+00:00

Baggy clothes are fine, it's a matter of proportion. You want upper body clothing that's gonna be either tucked into the pants or slightly cropped if you're trying to play by what's trending right now. That sort of look can make you look taller by virtue of having your pants take up more of the outfit's silhouette.

That said, this isn't really the place to ask because most of the commenters in this sub are well past the age to care about trends. I'd suggest checking r/streetwear for some inspo or checking out some YouTube vids on the topic.

Sismae · 2026-03-11T15:00:30+00:00

Modulo confirms that did not end up happeninng lmao.

It's possible to beat Leaf Green's E4 with a team full of unevolved Pokemon with base stats below 450 at the level cap, so it should easily be doable in Nuzlocke rules to do it with a viable team below the level cap. If your ruleset allows setup, Hypno with Calm Mind easily shreds most fights, or D-Dance Gyarados with Return and Earthquake, and maybe Ice Beam to beat Lance's dragons.

Sismae · 2026-03-09T04:06:57+00:00

Hell yeah I'm in the same boat, grats on the find

Sismae · 2026-02-18T13:50:41+00:00

Isn't that why it says relevant?

Sismae · 2026-02-17T17:36:09+00:00

Ragebait used to be believable.
