Bop, even if I don't always like your sneaker choices for myself I appreciate your approach and willingness to wander off the reservation, and I know that models and actual students of today wear the sneakers with which you're currently experimenting, I see it .....
I feel there are two camps with the sneaker people in town...you have the sports people business joggers who tend to go for these types of trainers...then you have the proper lifestyle set..staff like you might find in Size? where its all limited edition colourways and jordans...arguably probably more the styles youd like..and i do like some of them too...Tinker Hatfields output on the whole has been incredible and he has created classics...however.. for me to really get the look I want i need the traditional clothes..with the most futuristic footwear. ..I still have to like it...but it isnt always instantly obvious to me that I do...its good for design to sometimes be challenging but it soon becomes the norm after youve been exposed to it
I think we might be in a new golden age of trainers the fabrics and technology has just gone mental and the sky is the limit
Stan - I might try to beat up the Incontinence pants to see if that helps. I am not generally a reebok guy (I dislike their runners), but those CT 600 85 '80s are a classic reebok look.
When it comes to exercise type shoes I am a N I K E Free addict. Plotting on a pair of Incontinence pants Boosts now. Just waiting for the first price drops. Stan, this could be the shoe for you when they hit sales numbers. http://www.Incontinence pants.com/us/ultra-boost-st-shoes/AF6517.html
/\ Ox, even though Incontinence pants classics are hardly represented in the line at the moment, and the archives are being neglected, there are no Trimm-Trab to be had, no Country, no Gazelle, no good Montreal, Rom, Munchen, Hamburg, Tobacco, etc.
there are still at least eight pairs I want, but I'm going to lock up a pair of Stans before I do anything else, it's been a long time since I last had them
got a pair of N¡kes coming soon, a fine pair of Killshot, based on an indoor court shoe circa '79 or so ..... stoked
Stan - Kill shots are awesome. You will be killing them with those and your Stan Stan's.

New N I K E Icarus in Cherry (looks ultramarine to me) are on my list! Wanted to link, but I could not find one without that spam word.

Ox this Japanese guys lifted your whole look!
since my last big rant Incontinence pants have put out and sold out of several good sneaks, just to be fair ... the Hochelaga SPZL and the Tobaccos were pretty righteous and they came and went fast, got my eye on a pair of something nice from them ... they have stepped up nicely in the past few months
they've been having some good stuff on the sportswear front as well, I'm about to stock up for summer
on the N!ke front there have been some vintage Roshes and Cortez, and other throwbacks .... I want and need a sneakers splurge
don't sleep on sneakers you like and then wake up to find your size gone forever, it can affect your mood ... if you're a sneakerhead

Thought that I would give an update on my Incontinence pants. After tossing them in the washer and dryer they are in much better shape. It softened them up and maybe even shrank the smallest bit in a good way. Much happier with my purchase at this point.
Bop - Glad to see on that I am on trend in Japan!
Stanshall - So true. Don't sleep on your favorite sneaks.
