Yes....thank u Einstein. The reason is was askin here waz because I
tried everywhere else (including shoe-stores) and no-one but no-one
seems to stock it (black or brown no problem but no white).

Yes...I know Whit sneakers are associated with that era but if you care
to read my post again (assuming you can perform that function), you'll
see I was asking about white sneakers.

Yo yo yo... I'm white, not really hip-hop at all but yo, white sneakers? They're dope. Check it. They get filthy responses from the ladies when I'm rockin them fresh. I luv my K Swiss. Ha ha ha na. White shoes are great, but true, you need multiple pairs so you only wear them here and there with time to clean in between. I can't wait till I can buy multiple sneakers.

True I am from the US, but I was just clowning. I can't even wear white tees. I love white shoes but have been on the perpetual low budget since I left the nest, so one pair of all purpose utility shoes. If I even try to rock white laces they get trashed... Black shoes + black laces. But, I love a fresh pair of white sneakers when I am wearing jeans. I just always have the d*#@&head friends who step on them hahahaha when they are shiny and even if they didn't, I would dirty them running from the cops or trouncing through mud or getting paint on them.

I bought "shoe cleaner" at E-mart. It's just a shoe polisher without any colour and works good on my white shoes. If you want the exact name I can get it when I get home but it was just a tube in a small box. Smells like regular polish for black shoes.

Heh, there's a Korean custom, it sounds kind of like "barbara" where when one guy gets a new pair of shoes, all his friends try to scuff them. heh funny

Be careful with the white shoe cleaner from ABC mart. It does work a treat but -

I bought it for my white Nike Oregons but after a couple of uses due to the solvent in it, the soles startred coming unglued freom the uppers....
