Do navy or brown sneakers go with indigo or dark indigo jeans? Been trying to cop a pair of black/white CP highs but looks like they're never going on sale. I don't like the black mids and I suspect blue or navy would look weird since jeans are similar/darker than those colors. Brown might work but not sure if with black pants.

Ended up buying the LL Bean Katahdin boots. I doubt I'll wear them much but it's worthwhile to try for what I paid.

they'll last a long time but they're like a legit workboot that don't do much if you don't wear them.

Anyone recommendation for cheap drop crotch pants? Like really cheap so I can try it and see if it works.

Thanks. Are black/white contrasting sneakers ugly? I realize they're not versatile. But I don't wanna end up regretting it a year later. Is grey a safer color?

depends on the sneaker design and where the contrasting happens. what're you thinking about?

If you're thinking of something like + Show Spoiler +

they pretty much go mainly with black jeans/pants imo. Probably similar for stuff that's more cleanly contrasting but I'm not sure.

dont really like that flyknit model, prefer the earlier ones. I just need something that goes with the most things. It needs to be mid or high top because of cold weather and I only have low sneakers. I also have white lows already so not sure about white mids. I looked through a bunch of adidas/nike stuff too and couldn't find any. Not sure about the quality of acne/silent. Don't know any other brands in the same or less price range. Has to be leather upper and preferably stitched sole.

i actually like black more than white. i would totally get black mids if i had some extra shoe moneys (and if itd fit in my rotation, which i dont know how to fill out yet)

look into buttero? lanvin? probably more expensive than cp but similar idea.

also im apparently now buying airism boxers because i need that free shipping -_-.

what I do is get something to get free shipping then return it. I hate how uniqlo doesn't restock anything so if you missed out on something it's gone forever unless you pay 2x to get it from ebay shipped from asia. Definitely should've gotten like 5 airisms and some of dem legging jeans before they sold out.

Thing with black mids is I have a lot of colored stuff and none of that goes with black shoes of any kind. I just thought the black with contrasting soles ones look cool by themselves but I really don't think they'd go with anything besides leather, black/white and grey.

btw i saw you post in the nike thread lol

doesn't returning have costs too? or is it free? im debating either airism underwear or some compression shorts.

so no gum soles for you? how about some boots?

return is free, you just put the sticker on the package and drop it off anywhere. If you're just looking for something cheap, I think the socks are the cheapest. I have boots. I'm trying to wear more white/black cleaner stuff but all I have are a bunch of t shirts so the black mids won't go with anything. And I guess I should spend that money elsewhere on a bomber or something if I'm to start. It's just like, the cheapest pieces are the cost of a pair of CPs. I didn't like anything from oak nyc, might get stuff from zara. Where else can I look?
