Haha, will do. Actually, out of curiosity, what goes into determining the quality of a sneaker? When I first went into the world of audio, I was baffled by all of the components a good headphone should have - bass, midrange, highs, soundstage, impedance, proper acoustic environments, balanced frequency response, and so on. So what components should a quality sneaker have?

I was inspired to do this by that dude. If you need some suggestions for nice shoes... Fill out this form—

Basically... You'd have to consider:

Use (Basketball, Style, Casual etc.)

Cut (Low, Mid, High, Sandal etc.)

Color (Red, Anthracite, Gradient etc.)

Price Range (Generally I cover anywhere from 70 dollars and up!)

Durability (A year of peak performance, a "lifetime", rips easily, etc. Or you can say how much durability matters to you.)

Materials Used (Flywire, Carbon Fiber, Nubuck, Leather, Suede, Lunarlon, Zoom Cushioning etc.)

Rarity (Commonly worn, hardly worn, limited to few stores, exclusive drop- ie Jordan IV Military Blues, etc.)

Shoe Size

Fit (Tight, Snug, Loose, Perfect)

Width (There's generally a scale of slim, normal, wide.)

And any other factors.  

I knew someone that collected shoes that were over $200 dollars and he made it sound like doing so made him cool. I mean to me that's rediculous as I'm wearing 40 dollar shoes that have lasted me 4 years and they are fine for everything through basketball and casual activities, but if there's a reason for such expensive shoes besides collectibility I would be happy to know. Because that guy didn't give me a very good impression on that type of interest.  

Vans and chucks are my favourite to wear for casual stuff and there stylish and ok priced  

Always spend probably around $170-220 on jordan brand stuff :o

Some shoes are constructed with materials that add up to the shoes being insanely light, which is better for most sports. These materials don't run that cheap and are manufactured primarily for companies like Nike and Adidas. See Flywire for example.

Are you looking for something casual, affordable, and stylish? I barely cover "skate" shoes but if you give me a budget I can suggest some models.  

Bump.
