So they do look like the N64?
No lies detected
That's hilarious. I'm 40 and will NEVER wear "dad shoes." Air Max 1's for me... used to wear the louder/crazier colorways, but now feel a bit too old for that. Just bought these the other week:
On topic, these N64-inspired 97's are cool. Not sure why so many are down on them...
Let me guess you only wear dress shoes and converses?
what was you calling it up until now?
Nah, there's nothing about Air Max 1's that say "dad shoe." Better pic:

Because if its not a dress shoes or flats like converse and vans they gon have a thick sole (I guess random basket ball and swiming shoes as well). Look at any retro J's thats not the 1si do own two pairs of converses :)
i also have some cp3 VIIIs
some john wall zigtech reeboks (though i haven't worn them in years)
i have some speedo watershoes for swimming
i do wear dress shoes as well, for formal occasions
i have some reebok zprint run in all black
i have a pair of all teal/turquoise (idk) new balances that probably border on dad shoe
why do you assume i only wear dress shoes and converse?
i will admit, that is a better angle and gives it a less thick look. but if you take off the nike swoosh it still gives me dad payless shoe vibes. please dont take this as personal or an attack on your style though, just my observation
When dad's die.

And also they tend to repeat whatever is popular and somehow bring it up to show how relevant they are regardless of whats happening. If this same thread was created 10 years ago no one would call it a dad shoe. All the sudden dad shoe style is popular, plus they dont like this it means its a dad shoe now.This whole dad sneakers conversation has reminded me once again that's Era is full of old people who don't realise they're old.
Dad shoes have a certain look. As stated above look up the air monarchs and then you'll see a DAD SHOEi think it's more the style of the thick sole, than just being thick i guess for me. but hey, we all got styles we enjoy :)
Because thats the year that model of air max was designedBut the Nintendo 64 released in 1996, so why are they putting 1997 on them?
Okay then.
