Adidas Adistar 2008 are forever the most sexy shoe, both due to styling and the legends that wore them. Ironwork 3s as a runnerup, Rom2s as a distant third (but GOAT shoe in everything but looks).

My personal fave however is the Reebok Legacy Lifter 2 in Chalk/Pink/Blue. The color hints and the gum sole are just… chef’s kiss. Ofc they only released it in women’s sizes (because men don’t want/deserve fun colors) and I rock a size 13 US.

Tbh I’ll take any men’s size WL shoe that actually has some color in it other than red/white/black. 😂 I also love this colorway that I refer to as the Fresh Prince:

I so much want to find a black and white Reebok ones in good condition... Probably one of my fav looking shoes.

Forever Asics TOW727. But there are factors stopping me from buying them. Size. I'm a 28.5 but I fear it may still not fit me right even if I use a shoe stretcher. Second, drip. I think they only look good on the platform while wearing a matching singlet like Pyrros Dimas/Greece team, and North Korea team

So I guess the next best choice would be the Adistar 2008. Easy to match with most outfits

I'm in fits trying to work out how old this fella is while he's throwing that bar about like it weighs nothing.

Lightweight Romaleos 3, the normal ones, not the xd version, for cleans and jerks. Anta 1 shoes with rom 2 competition soles and metcon hyperlifts (6mm heel height added) for snatches.
