I'm a little late to this thread, but having recently seen some of those in the wild, I gotta call dorktastic on those shoes, Marcus. However, zz is right (as she usually is when it comes to shoes, but not much else), white (or rather, all-white) is dorkier.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I love the ones on the top. The other ones, not so much Tongue

I just got a pair of these for racing and speedwork. (Asics Gel DS Trainer 13). Now, I just need to get fast enough to justify looking that cool.

Well, it took you 3 hours, but it's more proof that nothing shoe-related slips by you! Tongue

BTW, that insult was shin-worthy, not junk-worthy. Please exercise proportional response when kicking me in the future. Tongue

I recently purchased my 4th pair of GT 2130's and DW urged me to get a new color. I ended up with these...they make me look slower than I really am. I feel like such a dork running in them. Payton Manning wears black shoes and looks slow as hell. Anyone else run in black shoes?

A few years back I got a pair of black 2090s. DW thought they looked stupid. I liked them. At least you don't have to wait for the new running shoe shine to fade away... However; I grew up with black "trainers" being the norm. I think it's an English thing, along with black gym socks. In the US it seems you have to wear white shoes and white socks to the gym. Now I have shoes that are so bright I have to wear shades when lacing.

Hell yeah! Black shoes all the way. Ive got the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 7 in all black. White shoes just are not my style and I am glad to see the running companies pushing their popular styles in all black. One piece of advice for black running shoes: wear black socks.
