That is exactly what I’m trying to say!

If they had steel toe caps I’d fully believe they were my work’s new order of PPE. Absolutely grim.
My personal rule of thumb is if it’s on Hype Beast it’s a bit wank/gross/distasteful/not very nice*

Sick. Are you going to put them on your feet or sell them for a massive profit to some numb nut?
This is not a thing.

Save em for best
Those Tiagos are the best looking shoe out IMO. so dope. Annoyingly I think they’d look stupid on me, but I kinda want to get some just to look at haha.
Are they quite chunky on foot?

No they are way less bulky than I thought. About as slim as a dunk I’d say. I’ve been wearing them about today and they are super comfortable. I can see more in my future.
Pictured while fireplace shopping. Just like Tiago does…

I thought they were…
That’s quite chunky by today’s standards.
I know it’s not, you can never have enough!
Gunna save them like I wish I had done with all the old dunks I used to have. Unfortunately I was a skint student for a few years as some of you may remember from N26.

Nice!!! Definitely depends on your parameters.
Yeah you’re right about the Tiagos feeling super stiff and solid. I assume they won’t go all floppy and subside like a dunk does after you’ve skated them a bit.

if you want an extra kick in the ribs look up the prices of some of those dunks on stockx, utter insanity. i had this god awful pair in about 2010 that were a mix of orange suede/purple denim, picked them up for £20 bnib off ebay and fucked them skating within a week. going for £500ish now.
Started skating these… just had a quick look, the resale isn’t that amazing. Phew! Haha.
Are shoes going to become like classic cars, where certain people buy them for their intended use wearing them/skating them etc. Then others who collect them because they’re an asset that will hopefully go up in value and they can sold for a large profit.

I don’t know if this is the case anymore, but it you’re holding on to a pair of trainers from 20+ years ago, there is a good chance the sole will just start to crumble off them at some point. So sell them while you can and the price is right.
I think that’s already happening, I can barely remember the last time I saw someone actually wearing Dunks, the vast majority of people must be storing them away. Odd times but if these guys sell them on for profit then it’s good business!
I know gutting - if I’d kept them ten years longer I would have had a house deposit 100%
