Just plain white? I want to get a pair like that and do some artwork on them, but I wasn't sure if they sold just plain blank white ones.

i got some sweet pumas for my kicks. however i only wear them in the winter. i am a die hard sandal enthusiast.... gotta let my feet breath in the texas heat 'ya dig'?

jackhammer 08-13-2007 03:23 PM

Sandals and flip flops-two items of footwear I hate with a vengeance, but I do live in good old Blighty where rain is usually the order of the day, so I can forgive you!

joyboyo53 08-13-2007 03:31 PM

why? you slide em on, you slide em off. you dont have to remove stinky socks to go barefoot in the grass you just step out of em. they are usually durable and dont ever really get 'dirty'. they cheap too! super comfortable. need i go on? i always get rainbows/reefs. i use to do the whole sneakers thing, but i don't like the way shoes look anymore. they seem to be trying to much or too little. i just like a shoe that matches everything, doesn't have more than 3 colors, and doesnt have some super duper design.

this was my favorite shoe, except instead of the green there was the navy blue. http://webpages.csus.edu/~sac96801/am95.jpg

Flip Flops (even the name is pathetic) are not a macho item of footwear where I come from, but don't worry. I know I am in a minority, and i am being completely pigheaded about them. I can only justify my views by juxtaposing my fathers opinion on seeing me in flip flops-"right you, out!"

I love these trainers. I will be eternally sad the day they cannot be worn anymore, especially as Globe are hard to find in the High Street.

Barefoot is the best way to go. I'm such a newb at wearing shows that I went the whole day wearing two different pairs.

jackhammer 08-15-2007 06:34 PM

You have four feet then Swim?

right-track 09-10-2007 01:03 PM

I'd wear the vans, but I'd have to dirty them up a bit first though.

MURDER JUNKIE 09-10-2007 03:06 PM

In this day and age I find it incredible that people are still buying the once fantastic DC sneaker, since they took production out of the USA the quality has taken a complete shit. I have had a pair for about two years now and have worn them a grand total of six times, they are the most uncomfortable shoes on the planet and they are flat as a pancake. If my kid told me that he wanted a pair of DC's for $140.00 I would drag him out into an alley and throat punch him. FACT!!

DC's = SHIT

jackhammer 09-10-2007 03:42 PM

I had a pair of DC'S, Rob Dyrdek signature and they were one of the most comfortable pair of trainers I have ever had! One Man's meat=another man's poison.

jackhammer 09-10-2007 03:43 PM

Nice choice. I must admit those Adidas Kingston are looking tempting.

I have had great ones, just not in the past 6 years.

Laces Out Dan! 09-10-2007 04:53 PM

Jackhammer, you've definitely got to go with the Kingstons. Hands down the nicest of the bunch. I like them a lot. The Osiris' and DCs are just too popular around here and you see everyone and their uncle wearing those models. Kingstons mos def.

jackhammer 09-10-2007 05:03 PM

I know it's a weak link, but I love Reggae and they are so unusual. Kingston win!
