If we were to go back to the '70s everyone, well not everyone but most everyone would be wearing Adidas Stan Smiths. If you go back to the '50s maybe people would be wearing Converse All Star Chuck Taylor low tops, maybe.
Now we have Adidas Barricades and all these other fancy tennis shoes. My question is what are the pros and cons of the newer shoes over the older style like Stan Smith. I am not asking about Converse All Stars though because those are cool in the fashion sense but primitive in many other ways. But if you take a classic shoe like the Stan Smith or maybe one a little newer like the Nastase vs the newer fancy shoes like the Barricades and so forth what would be the advantage of one over the other?
Also what makes a shoe a tennis shoe vs a casual athletic shoe? I figure the durability must be present in a tennis shoe vs a casual athletic but what would be the difference other than that? The tread or what?
Thanks,
James
