Sac Fly: Dad Shoes?

Dad Shoes?

Around East Cobb I see way too many guys wearing dad shoes.

Its an epidemic.

For years I wore New Balance 990s: classic grey, or black, or navy.

Lots of support. They feel great. They've even become cool with the college kids and twentysomethings. But I've avoided dad shoes like the plague.
Or so I thought.

Then I got these Pumas. Men's RS-X3 Puzzle White/Dazzling Blue/High Rise. Supposedly the cat's meow.

But wait - they don't look like dad shoes, do they?

Looks great. Feel great. Lots of cushioning and support.

I'm liking them more than any sneakers in a long while.

And the bottoms remind me of Air Jordan 6s.

These X3's come in a bunch of different colors.

Some were too blue and others too red. Some too black. Or too tan. I've had enough black shoes and recently added three pair of white sneakers.

Decided on these with some of every color.

Bright, but the best option at the time.

Confession: I've been buying shoes at thrift stores for so long, I'd forgotten how comfortable a new pair of sneakers can be. Then yesterday I was wearing my black Nikes and realized my hips were hurting. Sure I'd worked out four straight days. Kinda think they'd been feeling better had I been wearing the X3's. Maybe I can find another pair at a thrift store.

One opinion: X marks extreme. Exaggerated. Remixed.X³ takes things to a new level: cubed, enhanced, extra. We’ve taken the signature RS design and dialed it up to the third power. With amplified detailing on the upper, stronger material mixes, and bold color combinations, this kick is ready to step into a new dimension.
