You sound triggered. Are you a Federline type?

Then you must be blind.

I don’t wear them. Never have. But I’m not going to act like they aren’t super popular for blacks and whites.

Do you?

I honestly never see anyone but black folks and Federline types wearing these types of shoes.

I have two pair of Beau Jackson's and a pair of the Andre aggasi sneakers from right around 2000. Sneakers are becoming bigger and bigger business every year, but frick it you don't see it so it's not a fact

I see it but it is people wearing it with baggy urban type clothing.

Just curious, what type of clothes do you normally wear these with? Baggy shorts and a tshirt? Jeans and a polo?

With black people? I know a lot have started wearing skinny jeans but baggy clothes are still very much a thing.

My kids (now college age) always made fun of me for wearing white tennis shoes (I am a dude of the 80s/90's).

Now they wear them.

Everything old is new again.

You will get laughed out of a shop if you show up in baggy pants. They at the very least need a strong taper.

There are a lot of people in this thread who were also saying Carhartt Isn’t in. Heron Preston just did a collab and the carhartt pieces start at $800 lmao.
