Great now the Brooklyn born Seattle raised repping LA dudes friends all play for the NFL.



What a capitalist. Homie is hiding his other failure friends and putting the NFL homie in front of them

Seattle raised??....hilarious how you catch feelings like a 12 year old girl you gotta lie....like I told you before you a lame in real life and on these boards....we all see it on display in here....sad as fukk.... ....

In England this would be Clark's VS Doc Martins

I don't think men should wear doc martins thats just my opinion, they look goofy on men unless you're in a rock band or something

A Seattle dude could never make me catch feelings. No offense

as a woman i never knew girls that wore timberland until i went to college and the east repped. everybody wears chucks though

Chucks were like Jordans in the 60's and 70's. They remained relevant since then nationwide. Chucks will never be played out. It just so happens everybody is a cringe hypebeast at the moment and don't realize less is more in some instances. Do you really need to wear Louis or $2000 resale value kicks to the supermarket at 10pm?

they make designer chucks too! not only collab within the brand (rick owens) but also so many brands have copied the chuck silhouette. i copped these

Next poll I was gonna do Vans ..

vs Adidas (Shelltoes +Stan Smiths) ..

Do air forces vs stan smiths, why do you pick such lopsided comparisons?

I wonder which shoe has more revenue in Seattle. Timbs or chucks





FYI I did some digging on Seattle fashion scene before I typed this

Brehhhhh


I have bought Chucks multiple times. Love the look of them. I CANNOT wear them shyts. My feet start hurting immediately. I have zero idea how they Hooped in them back in the day

I know what you mean, but they started making them super cheap in the 80's. You need to try the Chuck 70's because they're made thicker like the actual original shoe.

 

[Hater Eraser]

Do air forces ones vs stan smiths, why do you pick such lopsided comparisons?

I think everybody rocks/rocked Air Force ones .. and I dont really think any region made them the most popular


Go ahead and make the thread though that's interesting .. I was speaking of shell toe Adidas too tho'

St. Louis / Midwest

Research is good. Being a 10th generation drop out like @3rd Ward Swangin is bad.

The classic All Star has been a boon to Nike, which bought Converse in 2003. But as the shoe gets an update, the company is being cautious not to damage its appeal.

Timberland Struggles to Sell Its Classic Boot

Sales of the iconic boot brand fell 4% in the holiday quarter, and executives said it will take more time to turn around its performance. Shares of owner VF tumbled.

www.wsj.com

FYI - I see a lot of kids in Chucks, mine included and I buy them whatever shoes they want. They CHOOSE to wear Converse. None of my kids ask for Timberlands.

" but nobody wears chucks, everyone wears timbs" - NY/NE poster who never left his city or region


whats also another possible factor in chucks selling more than Timbs is how many people from Rust belt cities(Chi, Detroit, NY) are moving into sun belt towns.
besides people clinging to their home, some people are adjusting and saying fukk that and buying shoe ware that fits there more warmer homes

i know from first hand experience living in a city that has alot of Rust belt snowbirds and transplants
