sneaker advice
Hi yall, I'm looking for deconstructed or distressed versions of basic shoes. Here's what I've looked at so far and where I've landed on each.
sacai blazer - love the colorblocking, my favorite out of these. The only black cw is patent, otherwise I wouldn't be posting.
nb 2002r - I like these, but the black cws are ugly. If I can't find something better I'll probably go with the one linked.
fcw chuck 70 - really like the design of these, but not a fan of the colorblocking.
cdg airmax 95 - these have been my grail for years, but they are out of my budget for now.
mmy (any) - same story as the cdgs, can't afford rn.
Budget ~$150 secondhand, looking for black/white or black/dark grey mono.

Do you proxy?
yes!
mihara and CdG on Y!JP would be my first search, just search the brand name and your JP size number and see what’s out there
The usual melty Mihara sneakers won’t usually go all that low but they have so many styles that one is bound to hit for you

if deconstructed/distressed is priority then look for 1906rd
Oh I lied some melty ones are at the top end of the budget
a few kinda similar vibe designs I found within budget - but in my size (27)
Ya the 1906ds are cool I'm looking at the eclipse cw for both (linked phantom in my post) and I think I prefer the 2002r contrasting sole. ty for the rec tho!
tbh did not know mmy made so many shoes :xd: lots to consider, thanks!
i really hated the open tongue construction with exposed foam on the 2002rd, it felt really cheap in hand. if you're aware and it doesn't bother you then all good 👍🏻
ya i like how that looks too, based on that tho i should try to handle them myself
I really liked the sacai blazer high model, but might be out of your range looking at stockx
