I’d like to take a minute to revise last year’s summer sneaker post. I now have a few new options for you. Click on the shoe below to find out more.
I’ve never been a guy who’s really been big into sneakers. Ok, that’s a lie, as a kid I loved the damn things. I had the tightest fit thanks to the Reebok pumps and the brightest step thanks to L.A. Gear. Now I like my sneakers simple and clean. These are my choices for the…
I haven’t had the pleasure of taking these for a spin, yet. But I’m thinking this might be the go to sneaker for those peeps who can’t afford the similarly styled Achilles from Common Projects, but want a basic white leather sneaker.
I ran across these last week and after doing the conversion, I came up with a price at around $191. Yeah, this is still well under the Achilles cost, but it’s still probably a bit out of the non-sneaker-freak’s budget. Hold your head up US-based non-sneaker-freak, I just found out that you get a discount for not being the EU/UK. So after the discount they come in at around $118. (via SWT) I’m not sure how this discount is applied, so if you have ordered these, please let me know.
Erik, I know you’re reading this. Before my millions of followers buy you out, can you save me a size 44?
My Spring Courts arrived and I thought I’d let you know that if you’re a size 10 1/2 or 11, the size 10 works great. These come in full sizes only and sometimes it can be a bit tricky.
The thing I like about these and most other plimsolls is that you can toss ‘em in the wash when they get too raunchy. You could just jump in the shower with ‘em on too, I guess. Beware: I haven’t tried that last technique, yet.

UPDATE: Since this post was so well received, I figured I’d come back out and play one more. This one’s called Marshall.

Tipped off by a Put This On post, I decided to see what other good deals 6pm was offering on shoes. I found quite a few and decided to collect all of the ones that I thought would be great for the summer. I added a few more from other stores too. So what I’ve come up with above is a wide selection of sneakers under $80 (many are under $30) that’ll keep you looking fresh in the heat.
The Adidas Stan Smith 2.
A really great sneaker. Sixty bucks.
And the black Stan Smith 2s look great with black Levi’s 514 Slim Straight jeans.

Let’s say you’re running late and you know that you’re going to have to run after the bus. Or, maybe you’re really into to l’art du déplacement. Or, you’ve already predicted that today you’re just going to need to Nan Quan the shit out of someone – I think I found the perfect sneakers for you. They’re from the brand ‘Warrior’. And yes that’s a bad ass name for a shoe brand. Its a cousin to the popular Chinese sneaker brand Feiyue. And if you’re not familiar, you can read more about Feiyue and the Warrior brand over at Put This On.
You can snag these for around sixty dollars. And because that’s not that much for you rich bastards – you can buy and send me a pair. My shoe size is ten and a half and if you email me I’ll send you my address.
