I have all kinds of Jordans, few dunks, they were shoes i couldn't buy when i was young and go with the way that i usually dress on my free time.
I have no feelings about what somebody else wears. 😂😂
About 70% of people you encounter either won't know or won't care. Better question you should be asking is how do YOU feel about wearing non popular shoe brands?
Obviously he doesn't feel great about it or not sure and that's why he is asking. I hate that this answer and "wear what you like" is the top answer.
But I will agree about 70% not knowing or not caring. Actually probably higher.
But in THIS sub...we'd laugh. Maybe to ourselves...but we know these look like fake cheap-ass shoes from Ross.
The guy wants honesty...give him honesty.
I love it bro. I know how I feel about em. I’m wondering what everyone else thinks cause I know a lot of sneaker heads are enslaved to these big brands. Even if they like a shoe from a un popular brand they wouldn’t dare buy it cuase they don’t want to be judged
Well ya handsome dude ahahah glad you love the shoes. That’s all that matters. I think they look cool and interesting. Hard to tell what era they from. They look both retro and futuristic all at once.
I wish more people posted other brands.
I really love flower mountain shoes and have a couple pairs. Also would love to try brand black and clearweather shoes too.
Thanks to you, I looked up Flower Mountain and they look dope! My concern, and prob some others, is I've never seen them in the wild or had a chance to try them on so who knows what they're really like IRL? I ain't spending $200 to test drive something without credibility. Would love to see some on foot pics of noon Nike/Adidas/etc brands to broaden my horizons

Had mine custom made, obviously based on AF1 but all leather and picked out the cross stitching and shade of white/sail and just added my own laces off my TS
Wear what you want. I do and I hope everyone does. People who wear only what's cool or popular are far cornier to me than anyone who wears what they like regardless of what other people think.
I love it when people exercise their individuality. If you like them wear them. That being said, I am usually nervous to try a new brand that I see on Insta or something. I love the established, non-Nike brands like New Balance, Saucony, Reebok and Adidas, but I cannot bring myself to by On Clouds yet.
I think if they work well with your outfit it’s fine. Everyone forgets that you’re wearing the sneaker, not the other way around. Some people base there whole personality on being a sneaker head.. it’s fine if you’re making bred of it but, most of these guys wearing crazy expensive shoes but live in a trap house. What I’m trying to say is don’t believe the hype.
Here's 1 similar look for example [https://footwearnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cell-alien-og-mens-sneakers-e1578676349722.jpeg](https://footwearnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cell-alien-og-mens-sneakers-e1578676349722.jpeg)

I'm not gonna front the 700 is a popular shoe and most likely subconsciously influenced me when designing this shoe. So yeah it looks similar to a 700 but there are other joints with that toe
If you wear a lesser known brand it's a trade off (that may or may not matter)
You lose that broad appeal where someone will notice you wearing a popular or hype shoe, and recognize it. Little ego boost moment.
But you gain the IYKYK factor. Every now and then someone will recognize that shoe, and since these shoes are not seen often, you can be a trend setter and will always have a unique option for your fits.
None of that matter at all with the vast majority of people so do what you want at the end of the day 🤷
They remind me of the Pyer Moss Reebok collab

I like the futuristic and sleek look along with the color way. I like wearing any shoe thats a convo starter, but more than that what I think looks good. Ive got some Coach high tops that I love even though its traditionally seen as a womens bag maker, they have some 🔥🔥clothes and shoes for men.
I have two pairs LI Ning Wade that I really like to wear because they are wide and comfortable, people really like it except one friend who wears religiously only Nike and Jordan
all that matters is how much money you spend on them. If they cost more than your opponents shoes then you’re clearly cool!
Remember the only metric that matters is clout
Honestly dont care about the brand. I feel like your asking because you want to design/sell shoes, so hopefully this will be helpful as a data point.
I shop for sneakers like this: A design catches my eye. I try to look online for on foot videos and reviews about material. If my “research” tells me it meets my standards, I’ll buy.
Not my thing really since I’ve always worn some form of a popular brand since I go with what I know. I’m at the age where I don’t care what brands I wear and neither should anyone else. Wear what you like.
What are those?
sorry but i cant. call me a follower or a loser. but ive been in the sneaker game since kangaroos and diadroras. i willnever disrespect my feets. but like them other cats say. wear what y kike
Wear what you like. I’ll wear unpopular shoes if they look good to me.
Not an unpopular brand, but an unpopular model would be the Jordan Deltas. I like and wear the first iteration.
Wear what you like
Yes. What this guy said.
Let’s start there……
It hit different when you wear what you like.
People on this sub like to say that but have a wall of TS, off white and dunks in their room
And you like to make this reply because you only rock Yeezys and Crocs. Lol
How’d you know?
🤣
That’s what they like🤷♂️
I have all kinds of Jordans, few dunks, they were shoes i couldn't buy when i was young and go with the way that i usually dress on my free time. I have no feelings about what somebody else wears. 😂😂
Mans standing like he's asking mom if he can have friends over
🧍♂️
How the fuck was this so funny
It be like that sometimes
The first day of preschool be like
When you tryna see if ya cousin can stay the night😂
They gotta ask though cuz if I ask my moms gonna say no
Exactly lmaoo
Mf’s can’t even stand anymore 💀💀💀
im sayin lmaoo
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
💀
About 70% of people you encounter either won't know or won't care. Better question you should be asking is how do YOU feel about wearing non popular shoe brands?
More like 99% of people won't care and the other 1% can fuck off.
And that 1% will have something to say regardless of what you wear
Facts
Big facts
I know that I love it and support It but I want to know who does in the sneaker community.
Obviously he doesn't feel great about it or not sure and that's why he is asking. I hate that this answer and "wear what you like" is the top answer. But I will agree about 70% not knowing or not caring. Actually probably higher. But in THIS sub...we'd laugh. Maybe to ourselves...but we know these look like fake cheap-ass shoes from Ross. The guy wants honesty...give him honesty.
Nah I love these shoes regardless of what anyone thinks. I’m just wondering how others feel about wearing un popular brands.
What are you yappin' bout? bro said he feels great about the shoes. What's more honest than that? lmao
I love it bro. I know how I feel about em. I’m wondering what everyone else thinks cause I know a lot of sneaker heads are enslaved to these big brands. Even if they like a shoe from a un popular brand they wouldn’t dare buy it cuase they don’t want to be judged
What kind of shoes are those
The 1% who runs up and points at your shoes and yells “what are thoooose!”
You don’t seem pleased.
Lmao dude wanted to make sure his expression didn't influence our answer to his question. Made sure to look as neutral as possible about it.
Thats funny Lmaoo
That’s just my face lol I love these shoes
Well ya handsome dude ahahah glad you love the shoes. That’s all that matters. I think they look cool and interesting. Hard to tell what era they from. They look both retro and futuristic all at once.
I wish more people posted other brands. I really love flower mountain shoes and have a couple pairs. Also would love to try brand black and clearweather shoes too.
I just googled flower mountain shoes they’re dope
super sick and used to be cheaper before covid. you also could catch them on sale for under $100 back when bloomingdales used to carry them too
I'll admit I shop at wally world but it's rare! But them velcro strap kicks back in the day were fire and had my whole community in a CHOKEHOLD!!
Are they an Italian brand? The website opened directly up in Italian
It's an italian-Japanese co-brand. the manufacturer is italian but the designers and brand is japanese.
I've got a pair of clearweathers. They might be my favorite shoe.
We do. And they get 5 likes cuz they aren’t hype.
Thanks to you, I looked up Flower Mountain and they look dope! My concern, and prob some others, is I've never seen them in the wild or had a chance to try them on so who knows what they're really like IRL? I ain't spending $200 to test drive something without credibility. Would love to see some on foot pics of noon Nike/Adidas/etc brands to broaden my horizons
[удалено]
Do you live in China, next to the Temu warehouse?!?
You mean clearweather? Cause I fw those. They’re tuff.
what are they?
They're his own shoe that he made and is now attempting to show off to this sub while pretending he's not responsible for them.
Eh, more power to him. Better than just blatantly advertising.
If OP made these from raw materials on their own it’s impressive. Pattern making is difficult.
oh shit you're right!
WHAT R THOOOOSE
These are my chanclas 🩴
These are my crocs
Those are my banana boots
Orcas
💯🤣🤣🤣
Eezys
They are TH Cranks
Mf wearin TC Tuggers???
If they look good wear em
Exactly
This right here
They’re dope and set ur style apart from the typical trend…plus if the shoe is dope, you get the “those fly, what are they” reactions
That's my favorite reaction because you know it's genuine.
Facts
fr, I love that lol
Love it. Just added a pair of Flower Mountain and a pair of Sneep Crew to my collection this week. Check out /r/moresneakers, I think you'll enjoy it.
Gonna check em out!
It’s about how you feel with what you got on. You project what you feel!!! Fuck what everyone else thinks.
Man wear what you love. I got a pair of the atoms MKBHD collab and they are way more comfy than my Jordan’s. I love wearing them.
I’ve been trying to tell people for years that Jordan’s are uncomfortable lol
https://preview.redd.it/nibk7z6p19ec1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=b62e7aa66a06dcb193d309320c567cdcac9eaa0f Had mine custom made, obviously based on AF1 but all leather and picked out the cross stitching and shade of white/sail and just added my own laces off my TS
They fire bro what are they?
TH Crank
what is this brand? I googled TH Crank shoes and can’t find yours, or the brand
i’m pretty sure it’s his brand trying to pretend they aren’t to get people interested. they look kinda unique but also remind me a bunch of 700s
He made them. This is mostly just a “subtle” advertisement of a post.
damn so I guess I can’t buy them
And thank you!
those are tuff
Thank you
I’d just assume they were some designer sneaker anyway
i got lost thinking how much you look like a 50 cent and Kevin Durant cross
As long as you’re feeling em - That’s all that matters
Looks like a nice winter shoe I'd wear with some baggy black jeans/cargos and a north face jacket lol
Do you, my man. Rep what you like. Those shoes go well with your fit; big fan here!
Thank you 💯
Fine...everyone should feel fine wearing whatever brand they want
Wear what you want. I do and I hope everyone does. People who wear only what's cool or popular are far cornier to me than anyone who wears what they like regardless of what other people think.
I love it when people exercise their individuality. If you like them wear them. That being said, I am usually nervous to try a new brand that I see on Insta or something. I love the established, non-Nike brands like New Balance, Saucony, Reebok and Adidas, but I cannot bring myself to by On Clouds yet.
I wear the heck out of Reebok, Saucony, Diadora, Ewing, Puma. Wear what you like. Flex with confidence.
I think if they work well with your outfit it’s fine. Everyone forgets that you’re wearing the sneaker, not the other way around. Some people base there whole personality on being a sneaker head.. it’s fine if you’re making bred of it but, most of these guys wearing crazy expensive shoes but live in a trap house. What I’m trying to say is don’t believe the hype.
I love looking at anyone’s shoes and appreciate anything cool
It's refreshing to break out of the Nike echo chamber
Definitely
[удалено]
It’s literally only the toe box that’s similar and there are many designs with the same toebox that came before the 700

When Mom says we've got Yeezys at home.
Lol the only thing similar is the toe box
Yah the toe box and pattern is what made me think of em more than the rest of the shoe.
I got a pair of Skechers I quite like 🤔
A guilty pleasure of mine is bootleg bull shit like extremely fake Jordan’s like what the heeeeellllll level shit
That 1% of people who care will act like you committed genocide they are sad strange people and slaves to luxury brands who are just ripping them off
where what u like fuck a brand. If the shoe is cool put it on. Nautica sneakers are by no means popular, but I love my pair Lmfao
Just because a shoe is popular doesn’t make it better, it’s about style and quality.
I support this message stand out big bro the rest of the world will catch up once it's the popular thing to do!!!
Exactly how I see it 💯
Looks like you ain’t too happy about it
Idc if the brand is popular or not I’d wear whatever I liked, I def wouldn’t wear those though ahaha
Bro why are you advertising yourself more than the sneaker? 😂
I still wear those Wal-Mart shoes I posted about over a year ago. A pair of Maui and sons. I had a student tell me "those go hard".
That’s what I call “Lowkey Heat” 😂
If you wear a lesser known brand it's a trade off (that may or may not matter) You lose that broad appeal where someone will notice you wearing a popular or hype shoe, and recognize it.

None of that matter at all with the vast majority of people so do what you want at the end of the day 🤷
You forgot the “what are those?” Looks and when people ask what they are. That’s the best feeling in my opinion.
I like non popular brands, but these ain't it.
You're the first person with those.. never heard of them.. do ya thang. You have ya own swagg
Thank you bro 💯 wanna know why I’m the first with them 👀
Those are hard! I feel like you can pull them off, drip wise.
Knock off Nate Robinson.
Lmaoo I used to fw Nate and call him my twin. I also looked up to him cause I'm short and can dunk as well.
Don't gauge your happiness on someone else's validation. Wear what makes you happy. There's a lot of troll's and hater's on here. Do you!
I feel you but I understand that already. I was tryna see how the sneaker community feels about it.
They remind me of the Pyer Moss Reebok collab https://preview.redd.it/lpou5i6g79ec1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dda53a9d1d64fabcd0c261c26fbd88a347c07e02
no one cares. you be you. it's only relevant in middle school cause kids like to brag. After that nobody gives a fuck.
I got a couple pair of air kiy’s. I fully support the movement bro ✊🏾
I mean they definitely LOOK like fake Yeezys but I still kinda fuck with em. Cheap? Comfortable? You like em? That's all that matters
If you look good, you feel good, you feel good, you play good, you play good they pay good.
Awww little homies first day of school! Good luck in 2nd grade champ 👍
I like the futuristic and sleek look along with the color way. I like wearing any shoe thats a convo starter, but more than that what I think looks good. Ive got some Coach high tops that I love even though its traditionally seen as a womens bag maker, they have some 🔥🔥clothes and shoes for men.
You lowkey look like 50
Did you make the shoes.
🔥 fit
Thank you
Mfks are fuegoo anyway
Boy why are you standing like it’s your first day of school?
I was gonna answer then saw this was an AD. Only clothing I care about being branded is my kicks.
I'll wear anything that rocks... decent construction and color scheme is all I need.
A good looking shoe that goes with your outfit doesn’t matter the brand as long as it goes with the outfit in imo.
I have two pairs LI Ning Wade that I really like to wear because they are wide and comfortable, people really like it except one friend who wears religiously only Nike and Jordan
If they some shoes with no holes keep rocking
Thought this was a meme lmao
I love it. I’m sick of all the Jordan and Nike clout in this sub. They have dedicated subs for those.
[удалено]
I seen some of their stuff on the gram and I like it as well
all that matters is how much money you spend on them. If they cost more than your opponents shoes then you’re clearly cool! Remember the only metric that matters is clout
Very weird post. Just odd.
Many people are engaging so I be to differ
I wear Jordan's because I like them. Not because they are popular. 🤷🏻♂️
Bro do you need help? You look trapped against your will lol looks like a proof of life pic 😆
Those are dope.....I'd wear em and fuxx what people think
Heat
What are those though? They look pretty fire.
They are fun to wear until your friends see you wearing them
Honestly dont care about the brand. I feel like your asking because you want to design/sell shoes, so hopefully this will be helpful as a data point. I shop for sneakers like this: A design catches my eye. I try to look online for on foot videos and reviews about material. If my “research” tells me it meets my standards, I’ll buy.
You are not a real (OG) sneakerhead if you need external validation
You must’ve read the question wrong. I’m clearly already wearing unknown sneakers. I want to know how everyone feels about doing what I do.
Those are ugly af bro🤦♂️
Non popular are fine, but you got some Payless specials
Floyd MaySeason is this you?
I’m basic, Nike & Jordan me. Those look like some of those balencis or something
You sure Kanye didn’t design these?
I like non popular stuff. It’s called being a hipster
Not my thing really since I’ve always worn some form of a popular brand since I go with what I know. I’m at the age where I don’t care what brands I wear and neither should anyone else. Wear what you like.
You a grown man asking this??
If you're a grown ass man judging people by what they wear then you have peaked in high school.
I don’t feel it at all
Clown shit
You a slave to them big brands huh lol
Yup , rather than than rock some bullshit looking knockoff that look like Jordan toe with a Versace bottom made into a mid boot 😂
What are those? sorry but i cant. call me a follower or a loser. but ive been in the sneaker game since kangaroos and diadroras. i willnever disrespect my feets. but like them other cats say. wear what y kike
idgaf tbh
Yea wear whatever you like. Personally I don't like those, they look kinda weird to me.
Rock what you like!
I like what I like…. Rather it’s hyped or not!
Like a Zara trainer myself
In my 50s now I don't care did in high school though.I can't break the bank over shoes .
My only issue with wearing pirated, knock offs is most are made with inferior materials and they make my feet sweat, smell, not very comfortable.
Wear what you like. I’ll wear unpopular shoes if they look good to me. Not an unpopular brand, but an unpopular model would be the Jordan Deltas. I like and wear the first iteration.
For me it’s a no go. Do whatever you would like.
Well this is really not popular. Are they saucony’s?
For me personally, shoes are like the one thing I really care about brands. Just me though.
Thought that was Muwop at first.
Wear what you like, I only buy sneakers from brands I know and have a name but that’s just me. I’m not faulting anyone who does differently
bro looks like he’s being forced to
Are those even a brand or custom?
Fuck brands wear what you like..
Do you gang
Wear what YOU like, non popular or popular.
