Super normie shoes advice

Yo, sup guys, Im a student and a metalhead and I mostly wear hoodies or shirts with my favorite metal bands and black helikon-tex tactical pants, cuz i carry a lot of things usually and they are just super practical for me, especially because I always carry two pocket knives. Im not into fashion at all, as you can propably tell. Im just looking for some shoes that: - look decent - I can wear casually, basically everywhere - are in my student budget zone - arent like those wannabe gangster white NIKE airs Feel free to give me tips to improve my look overall, since Im a super normie. I would appreciate it A LOT. Dont wanna ditch the metal merch tho. Thanks a lot guys!

calling white AF1s "wannabe gangster" is insane for so many reasons just get chuck 70s
Soup

wannabe gangster is a really bizarre thing to say anyways buy some vintage combat boots from a milsurp store or something
NudlicKEK
NudlicKEKOP2mo ago
nahh, not calling the shoes like that, but usually the people i see wearing them are black hoodie, black pants full white shoes "im super cool" idk, as i said, i dont understand it so wear whatever you like, who am I to judge Mustaine was a big sneaker head, ik i meant i dont want the full white nikes idk, nevermind i cant talk myself out of this xdddd im too stoopid just pretend i didnt say anything as i said, i dont understand anything about it so you guys r propably right xdd

It's that the choice of language used, specifically calling them gangster has connotations to it

i mean if you do casual hiking, mora is usually the go-to price/power they actually look good
warpweftwatergate
I’m not a knife guy, I just buy what’s solid and suits my needs. Def not looking for recs 🫡 Anyway, shoes: just get a good pair of boots if you’re in the woods a lot

Okay, homie listen, couple things here to break down. I’m a metalhead too, have been for ages. I like tactical shit as much as the next person. Whatever. You’re young af so I’ll give you a pass on some of this shit, but someone should tell you how you look to others before you’re grown and end up bein the weird guy with three knives. Carry a knife, fine. Carry a multi tool, totally rad. Right now with where your life is you do NOT need three different knives. You just don’t. Are you bringing them to school? Insane. Don’t do that! Then you’re the weird kid with knives. When you’re grown, carry a firearm if you want—fine. I do! Carry a knife too, never know when you may need it for something. Mine comes in handy a lot, since I do a lot of outdoors stuff. That’s fine. But the way you’re describing how you dress, you’re painting an inevitable picture in people’s minds when they meet you. Tactical pants. Solomons. 3 knives. I deal with getting painted a certain way as well because of how I dress but I try real hard to make sure I’m not outright going to scare folks. You can dress how you want and carry what you want, but you gotta understand how you’re being perceived here. Opening with calling the most innocuous shoe ever made “gangster” was not a strong start.

Ok but you also have a gun
warpweftwatergate
I specifically mentioned that too LOL I also am not deluded enough to think that I would ever use a knife for self defense
NudlicKEK

okay mby i should make clear that its completely legal where i live no regulations on knives whatsoever
warpweftwatergate
I assumed there weren’t

you can literally carry a sword if you want to

why tho? these r exactly the ones i wear like youre maybe right, i just dont understand whats wrong its practical yk
warpweftwatergate
What you’re describing, at least to me, is a very specific type of person that loves tactical gear and is probably racist, almost definitely insane, and probably digs Burzum. and that person is not someone I’d ever want to associate with.
eggtart!

warp how much are they paying you to rescue this man

I wear jeans every day of my life and have literally never had any issues with practicality. You’re not a spec ops dude @NudlicKEK you’re a high schooler. You’re walking in the woods not swinging through windows

full stop tactical gear + knives gives off red flags for "guy who's obsessed with military/police fantasy of getting to legally hurt someone"

It's odd to say you don't want to wear a certain shoe because you'll look "gangster" and then say "why should I care how I look with three knives"
adaptation

Because you should stop doing it

why should i care how people see me with 3 knives, when they clearly dont understand it

i said, i dont know anything about fashion, i was wrong with that statement xd

Because the world around us is influenced by us, and the way the world perceives us is in part who we are Idk how else to put this
NudlicKEK

i get you, it sounds odd when you hear it without a contextr
warpweftwatergate
I feel really bad for you homie. Like I don’t want to see you be this person.

but most of the people dont even notice the clip on the pocket

Nudlic do you understand the concept of social cohesion

like i dont actually see the point yk ok?
Meaty,
Meaty,2mo ago
have you tried wearing the knives as shoes?
NudlicKEK
NudlicKEKOP2mo ago
im not saying you guys are wrong, i just dont see it as a big deal honestly
warpweftwatergate
The world is free and you have absolute freedom of choice across the board. But just know that you are being perceived a certain way and based on what you’ve said about your opinions, it is not a way that you wish to be seen. It goes beyond the knife thing. This shit follows you for your whole life because it compounds over time. Also, buy cowboy boots
SteezeTrain
SteezeTrain2mo ago
knives as shoes is my favorite 2009 metalcore band
NudlicKEK
NudlicKEKOP2mo ago
honestly, if someone looks at me and says "he carries a knife, so hes a typical texas guy" hes not worth my time, honestly (i know it sounds corny as shit, but thats actually the way i see it)
SteezeTrain
SteezeTrain2mo ago
i think it would be the three knives
Soup

Can you see this from the perspective of you saying a certain shoe looks a certain way then? (I'll accept you used the wrong word by mistake)

It’s really funny going into a server about fashion advice and listening to none of the advice Everyone is telling you this is massively stinky by normal standards
NudlicKEK
NudlicKEKOP2mo ago
okay, i just dont see anything wrong with it. I carry 3 knives. Usually a knife-normie doesnt even notice the clip on the pocket, so they dont know until i tell them. Wheres the problem? I actually wanna understand it
