Are you ever too old to wear sneakers cqasually?

Unless you are a celeb or dropped major dough, doubt that is true. Then again "finest clubs" is a fairly objective term.

I know in Vegas you ain't getting in to a top notch club with sneakers on, unless you are "someone".

So what's a "top notch club" in Vegas? Marquee? XS? Surrender? Tao? Haze? I haven't been to Hakkansan yet. Not even sure it's open yet?

I'm not a celeb and I didn't drop major dough.

If you're not buying it, you're not paying attention to where I'm coming from.

Read between the lines.....but what you're "buying" doesn't effect my reality either way. So you can laugh at your own statement all you want.

Are there really THAT many bars/restaurants that have a dress code as well? I never said I've been to the finest of those. But I can damn sure eat/drink well in sneakers in any US city.

When I'm in Vegas, I'm all about In N' Out anyway since we don't have them in NY. HA!

For all the 30+ rocking sneakers: Do ya'll have "nice" jobs/careers? Like are ya'll doctors, lawyers, or stuff like that? I think that makes a difference, too.

I'm 36 year old engineer and I still wear sneakers daily. It all depends where you going, It's about what you like and wearing them appropriately. I wouldn't wear foams to a fancy restaurant or Jordan's to a wedding.

Anyway, not to derail this thread.

I love sneakers, but slowly I'm wearing them less and less and it's not really on purpose. Free's to the gym, and usually to run errands. I wear dress shoes to work Monday through Thursday. On Friday's (Casual), sometimes I wear Nike's/Jordans, sometimes I wear other types of shoes (i.e Vans, Clarks, Sperry's). When I go out, depends on the occasion, if I'm going to a nice dinner/occasion, I'm not rocking sneakers.

Still love 'em, the only reason I don't purchase with more frequency is because it's a hassle to get most sneakers now.

Flyknits though... :smokin

I remember I used to always get into pure and tao with my all black nike dunks haha
 
Agree with time and place. Work/business = dress shoes, errands/everyday I wear some delta forces, maxes or beat up cortezs. I'm not into the loud colors or anything like that so I have a lot of plainer nikes/sbs that are more casual. Going "out" I have all black sbs or to clubs I have some cheap all black mossimo shoes from target. Do those count?

Remember, not all sneakers/nikes are yeezys or hi top js. The casual sneaks are great for everyday
 
If anything designer sneakers are more childish than Nikes. Trying to hard.

And cats swear because they can't get into certain places with sneakers on that no one else can unless they're dropping dough, the reality is that if your getting in out of dress code, chances are you're not paying anything to get in. Interesting defense mechanism though.

You only live on this planet once. Are you gonna spend your time here trying to following some protocol of what being an "adult" is according to others or are you gonna wear and do what you feel like?
