I forget when this trend of of wearing tennis shoes with suits started... but it's like buying a Lexus and putting bicycle wheels on it

[Supa]

only type of shoes i would wear with a suit that aren't dress shoes would be some all white casual shoes like common projects achilles low. and that would be on some casual shyt. ive never done it but its an aight look imo.

CP's can definitely work especially if you wear a black pair. They're basically dress sneakers.

 

[Still Benefited]

I’ve never seen it tbh. All the attempts I’ve seen always make me wish someone told him to put on dress shoes.

I agree. As an advocate for dressing defiantly casual,its very rare that it doesnt look like the guy shouldnt have just put some dress shoes on.

For the Love of God, PLEASE STOP WEARING SUITS WITH SNEAKERS

Especially Jordan’s or high tops if you’re wearing high rise pants, I don’t know who needs to see this but you look ridiculous. And get your suits fitted correctly. shyt is either too tight or too baggy. That is all..

Agreed OP. I noticed how goofy it looked when perusing an article about the ESPY awards:

A $5000 suit with sneakers?



Its like having a steak well done. Disgustya.

I think it's tacky. Russell Simmons was the first celeb that I remember doing this, but that was decades ago. Not sure which celeb made it into such a big trend the past few years.

My feet hurt just looking at those dress shoes.

Retro Jordan’s in suits is the real crime. They are too bulky and look funny with a suit. Grown/old men like Skip Bayless looks ridiculous when he has the Jordan’s on with his suits.

I think there’s a very niche case where this looks good. I mean casual suit, no tie, no button down shirt and a tee instead. Basic sneaker.

But most of the time it’s a full up dress suit and tie with some dunks or Jordan’s which doesn’t look good to me.

I like to think we are more practical when it comes to fashion. We should have been got rid of hard bottoms. The fact that we are still wearing shoes with hard leather soles that mimic wooden clogs in 2023 is ridiculous.

Also do you not realize how uncomfortable these shoes are? If you’re moving around u need some kind of shoe to maneuver better.

And what the hell do you call this same construction except adding a 4-5” pencil width heel to the back….don’t talk to me about uncomfortable and impractical!!

Oh, I should have made it clear I was referring to men….Of course women are not practical when it comes to fashion.

Women didn’t invent heels and best believe the majority are stuck in them due to social convention, not preference

Tennis shoes were created by Europeans brother. So were suits. So this is all kinda moot.

Tennis or athletic shoes as worn by my demographic are created by black designers. Also there is the comfort level and nuances of anatomy and lifestyle. So yeah, moot point.

What about these?

I have these and while they look good with suits of a heavier fabric like tweed and wool, they suck with the thinner fabrics of spring and summer. The hard bottoms pictured look much better due to the leather quality and sheen

 

[Diondon]

Yeah not something I'm into
When its suit time, I go all out
