When I say old school I'm not talking Stan Smith from the '70s, I had those as a kid back then and they were fine but when I'm talking old school I'm talking the '90s and early 2000s. These new shoes that are out now are in fancy color schemes and built differently and so forth.
Let me say I do love the new color schemes over the old school boring old white although sometimes I do like all white because it's classic. But I mean in the '90s and early 2000s shoes were really comfortable to me. K-Swiss were my old stand by and even the newer ones don't really feel that comfortable. The last year or two I've used some inexpensive K-Swiss Grancourt and are they great. I know the new players or people who like the new style of shoes will say they are bulky or heavy and so forth compared to new shoes but these are comfortable. You step into them and you feel the cushioning of the shoe but newer shoes you put them on and they feel hard. Even after trying to break in the new models feel hard and many are getting narrow in the toe box. I can't wear Nike anymore and most Adidas because they are very narrow which they were not back in the '90s. Diadorra used to be great shoes but at some point they started making the toe box narrow and my toes would rub against the shoe and get sore. Now Diadorra doesn't sell Tennis Shoes in the US but only Soccer so I don't know if they are back to the way they were made since only in Europe and UK they are available.
I do miss the old school comfort tennis shoes. The closest I see to them now are the K-Swiss Grancourt but they are not flasy or anything and they are heavy compared to newer shoes, so people won't like them nowadays. I did buy some K-Swiss Uproar IV and even those don't feel as good as the Grancourt but they are close enough.
I recall about 5 years ago getting some K-Swiss tennis shoes forget the model but they were higher end than Grancourt or Uproar and they felt like Heaven. Too bad they don't make those anymore.
Anyone out there who miss the tennis shoes of the '90s and early 2000s? Maybe the '80s should be in there too but I forget what I wore back in the '80s.
