Been rocking Adidas Sambas or Doc Martens for the past 20 years
My sambas lasted like 6 years of everyday use but finally kicked the bucket last year. went to buy new ones but saw the reviews and a bunch of people complained of a drop in quality. it looks like the soles are made of a different material because they're not even the right color, they're supposed to be brown but look almost black now. just look at the 1 star reviews where a bunch of people posted pictures showing the soles are clearly a different color from the promo pics
how the mighty have fallen
Damn that sucks, the last kind I got were the skating sambas and they're going on 5 or 6 years now, and that's even with wearing them at serving jobs.
Yea I like mine but haven't gotten any in a few years at this point.
Super cool how in capitalism if there is a good product it's degraded in quality and increased in price until its not a good product anymore.
jokes on you, sambas have been the hyped sneaker of the moment
which ones? the OG indoor soccer ones with the really long tongue or the street versions?
both. blame wales bonner
Ah, finally, I'm cool!
Vans for the summer and just whatever boots I can get for the winter for as long as I can remember.
All bought on sale lol
They’re actually pretty mainstream. Well, anything with the stripes for adidas is mainstream, but ive seen docs on zoomers since 2016
I used to like that I can get Sambas reliably at a solid price, and they'd last
