I get asked about this quite a lot from both sneaker + non-sneaker people. They’re a great walking shoe and hold up well to cool dad™️ playground duty. The grey colorway is a nice change of pace from the New Balance 990 that you’ll see on everyone else. And did I mentioned that they’re only $90? Asics has a plethora of great models, but this is the best entry point sneaker that (I think) any athletic brand makes.

my new balance 530s are prob some of the comfiest shoes i’ve ever had (and i’m obsessed with this colorway)
the mesh near my pinkies (both feet) did unfortunately give out after like a year though so idk how much i can vouch for the quality
thinking about trying the asics gel 1130 next as they seem pretty comparable and i just love a dad shoe

Bought these on a whim for $100 the other night after taking an edible and pretty much forgot until they shipped. Willing to concede that this might be bc i mostly wear boots and salomons, but these shoes feel like walking on marshmallows comparatively on the first day so I’m excited to see what they feel like when they’re broken in. They lowkey look like orthopedic/dad shoes but in a way that I actually kind of fuck with. theyre also maybe a little more norm core than I expected. im still basically evaluating them as a Design Object

...i like my sneakers to have a weird/unexpected colorway! i primarily wear navy or black bottoms + socks tights, so they are a focal point in my outfit. i find it helpful for them to have a black or dark detail (can be anywhere on the shoe) so they tie in with my socks/tights + pants. i feel like if your sneakers are too contrasting with your socks / bottoms (/ ankle area mostly), it looks like your feet could fall off at any minute (other types of shoes dont have that effect as much in my experience) so if you wear primarily lighter colors ... i'd say the sneaks need a light colored detail for them to tie in with the rest of your fit. i bet the cecilie bahnsen asics would look good on you!

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
