i wear them when i play soccer, the samba Ks that is. they are nice, give great touch, and grip the floor well ;)

I wear sambas. I like them. If you can score some addidas tuscanys, I would reccomend using those

Youngin 11-18-07 03:55 PM

oh, sorry shakeNbrake, I'm still a bit new here.

i wear addidas universals.
pretty much the same thing.
i like them.
they work perfect for my clips and straps, and are really comfy on the streets.

I use my Adidas Sambas for everyday wear. Work, cycling, pretty much my only pair of shoes now.

I have them on right now. Just got back from the gym, which I ride my bike to. They're good for doing squats/calve raises too.

The spot that I used to play upgraded to that goofy ass stuff that's like a combination of artificial turf and pubes. I ended up getting a pair of Mundial Turfs, but yeah. Aside from that, Samba K's own.

qft. the original tuscanys were so fresh. took my mind off not being able to find reissue titans in my size. i played indoor and trained in sambas and Ks for 10 years or so because by the end of the off-season they were worn out to the point where they became street shoes, and i got another pair for play. since i stopped playing, the pair i have is real nasty looking but still around.

nothing beats leather i would say. anyone tried those synthetic nike's? damn those are really sweatboxes.

cheers

Youngin 11-18-07 10:19 PM

i have a pair of copa mundial teams as well, love em too, but they rarely see use

david3558 11-19-07 01:01 AM

I wear anything that happens to be on my foot.

Chucks, Vans Authentics, Dunks, Adidas..

raster 11-19-07 01:06 AM

Adidas are my dancing shoes.

jussik 11-19-07 02:48 AM

Sambas are ugly IMHO.

My favorite riding sneakers are Adidas Italy, they're got that nice narrow shape, kinda thin soles etc.

Serendipper 11-19-07 03:06 AM

I have the suede ones from early 90's Copa...green (!), gift from my baby sister. Cherished. Wore them, Ted-Shredding, at my first crit mass on a 24" downhill bike with full suspension and no brakes.*




The Sambas? Didn't even wear out the heel. I don't know who sewed those things...that particular run of doublestiched suede with reinforcements, like cleats.

The sambas...I still got 'em. They haven't even needed repair, even after Ted -Shreddin' it.

The swirly patterns the concrete burned into the heels looks too neat to replace anyway.




*(24" full susp w/ no brakes...hell no I wasn't cool! And some of you guys think you're noobs? I was a NOOB. I knew nothing about bikes other than "that looks cool". And I still don't know much more than that except how to ride the hell out of one.)

abcdennis 11-19-07 03:14 AM

my feet never wear anything other than my samba's or sidi's, pending on what bike im riding of course...

Serendipper 11-19-07 03:16 AM

We really should organize a group buy. Who's in?
