    With velcro or with laces?

    I've heard velcro is actually 'in'.

    Velcro runners are so cool. I remember having pairs before I could tie my laces, and they had the lights on them and everything. Speaking of that, anyone know where I can get runners with lights size 9?

    Adidas have runners with velcro which look alright

    Got a pair of velcro asics last weekend. Pain in the ass putting them on. I prefer the practicality of laces.

    i have a pair of runner that have like an elastic hidden in them, where laces/velcro would be, i was afraid that the elastic would stretch after a while, but they havent and they are sooo comfy.

    velco is very cool though.

    No, unfortunately, they would have been so cool. Originals of those sell for small fortunes on eBay these days

    They have those Stanley Smiths in TK Max Stevens Green for €45. Size 6 and 10. Saw them there about an hour ago. Tried them on and thought they looked crap. Got a sweet pair of canvas Air Force 1's though.
