Shoesession

frankly there are unbranded shoes that are excellent my mother had green sneakers there was a lot of load in them but they did not last long

Slazinger isn't "off brand", they are popular in England, I believe...

To me what’s more important is who is wearing the shoes. The brand does help but the wearer plays a big role in how attractive a sneaker can be.

Agreed , as well as what they are worn with

What's the point after they've been completely sanitized in a washer?

Nah the pic was just taken on top of a washing machine.

Pics from a fan of off band shoes!

Off-Brands are a good source for fast-worn, cheap, and nasty sneakers. Not very good to actually be worn, but they smell and wear out faster - although the design and material is sometimes so bad, that it's again a turn-off.
Supermarkets and shoe discounters are the main source of those... Germany has the company Deichmann (Dosenbach in Switzerland) who have a full range of own brands that are often designed similar to known brand models, sometimes in variants designed by e.g. the Pussycat Dolls - those look great. Sometimes they're even driving fashion ahead. And they also get real brands to produce cheaper versions of their own designs - using less details and materials. Those are also just as nasty! But not comparable to the "real" brand models.


I like the ones in the initial post and the puma-style just in the post before this... not a big fan of the Slazenger and Everlast models.
