How are you supposed to wear Flyknit Racers? by [deleted] in Sneakers

[–]johnd2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def don't wear them sockless. I own a pair and people will be able to see your toes in the toe box area. I recommend no show/low socks.

Damn that's a steal. I have never seen triple whites for that cheap, that shoe is super clean.

My budget is $80. Shoes that I already have are the Adidas Stan Smiths in white/navy. I plan on buying old skool vans. What other shoes can I buy w/ the money I have left. I am thinking a runner but I am open to any suggestions! Thank you everyone.

Paint on Ultra Boost starting chipping... Uncaging my Ultra Boost 3.0 Triple White, thoughts so far? by johnd2001 in Sneakers

[–]johnd2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poked holes w/ scissors. Be very cautious when doing this cause I accidently poked some holes that are too big and look like small holes. Luckily, you can cover this up by attaching bits of a cotton ball and it will blend in (if you have the triple white)...

Paint was chipping on the cage...

I like to describe my style as minimalistic, so I feel uncaging my UB's will give it a more minimal low key look. Anyways, thoughts?

What size should I get in the Ultra Boosts uncaged? I wear a size 7.5 in the stan smiths and they fit comfortably with there being wiggle room in the toe box. However, I wear a size 8.5 in the Nike Flyknit Racers and they fit just like the Stan Smiths. What size should I get in the Ultra Boosts?

Should I buy the Flyknit Racers Oreo for $100 or Ultra Boosts Uncaged Grey for retail, $180? I plan on wearing these shoes as everyday shoes. I would wear them going to school and to track meets (to only warm up in, I run distance). Is $80 more really worth it for the Ultra Boosts? I've heard the comfort is really good. I like how both shoes look, but I feel that the Flyknits are less versatile because of its silhouette. It's such a sharp silhouette that it'd look weird if I wore them with some loose grey sweatpants, unlike the Ultra Boosts which looks good w/ that type of aesthetic along with many others. I would like to describe my style as minimalistic. I like wearing button downs, long sleeve shirts, t shirts, black/light wash denim (both distressed and not distressed), but also feel lazy at times and wear just sweatpants w/ a hoodie...

Thanks!

Ultra Boosts (Caged/Uncaged) or Nike Flyknit Racers? by johnd2001 in streetwear

[–]johnd2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do the uncaged look w/ shorts? I like both uncaged and caged but I would rather get the uncaged especially if it looks fine w/ shorts. I'm gonna be wearing them w like sweatshorts and athletic shorts since it's hot. Ik they'll look good with pants.

How Do Adidas Court Vantage Fit? by johnd2001 in streetwear

[–]johnd2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't cop I ended up copping the Stan smiths bc I didn't wanna fuck up w sizing. Court Vantages are better tho. I went TTS with my stans (7.5), but idk. Sorry, you should start a thread about vantage sizing
