I'm not sure of your style. Whether you should get them or not depends on what you want to wear them with. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904707 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:25:08 +0000 Aida 904707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mmm these look only like gear to me, sorry. Pretty color though! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904703 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:22:53 +0000 Glory 904703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes they are gear but pretty darn nice gear. the turq ones have a coloured sole. I can attest the the nike pegasus as being a great shoe.&nbsp;Did you see my post to your other thread on building your own with reebok? you could pick your sole colour.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reebok.ca/customise/yourreebok,en_CA,sc.html">http://www.reebok.ca/customise.....CA,sc.html</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904698 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:19:26 +0000 K. Period. 904698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I say gear. &nbsp;Does that mean you can't have them, though?&nbsp;<br /><br />They aren't going to fade into the background like a typical tennis shoe. &nbsp;You won't be able to rely on them to be a good team player in a supporting role. These are shoes you are going to have to plan you outfit around if you don't want them to be gearish. &nbsp;If that isn't what you'd planned for them, then pass. If you don't mind that, then buy!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904696 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:17:45 +0000 Thistle 904696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These read gear to me. &nbsp;Sure, you can style them otherwise, but unless you are careful, I think they will read gear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904659 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:42:06 +0000 Echo 904659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The neon green in Anna's sneaks call attention to her necklace, but that sort of colour matching is difficult to do with most outfits. With the man-repeller outfit, the shoes are clearly juxtapositioned against the outfit - again, hard to do with most outfits. The Nikes here are gear to me. There are a few outfits where they would work, ala man-repeller or Anna. But as for getting regular wear? I think that would be far more difficult.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904632 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:14:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 904632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think Anna is on to something here - if you wear them in an intentionally non-gearish manner, they might work. In Anna's outfit, the overall look isn't one of gear so I don't think of the shoes in that manner, if that makes any sense. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904620 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:55:45 +0000 Parsley 904620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I think they can be both!<br /><br />See this recent post by the Man Repeller:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.manrepeller.com/2013/02/to-their-roots.html">http://www.manrepeller.com/201.....roots.html</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904603 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:32:09 +0000 Kim 904603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are gear, the Nike Air Pegasus is the shoe I wear for distance running.&nbsp; It's made for high arches, that's probably why you found it so comfy. (It is!)<br /><br />I didn't know they came is so many great colors though, I only see them at the running store here in Canada in a couple of colors. I'm going to have to order some more! (Don't use them for gym shoes, they don't have enough lateral support, they are made for running or walking.)<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904553 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:00:42 +0000 annagybe 904553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My neon pink sneaker look got a Killer to the Power of Killer <a href="http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/post/wiw-323-neon-sneakers-and-floral" rel="nofollow">http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/po.....and-floral</a> Though mine have neon yellow soles. It's all in the styling. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904549 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:57:23 +0000 Ariadne 904549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's what I thought. &nbsp;I think I'll file them away as replacements for my gym sneakers when the time comes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904524 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:45:00 +0000 Suz 904524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look like gear...but super fun gear. And if I saw somebody wearing them &nbsp;I would not think "clueless."&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904502 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:27:45 +0000 kellygirl 904502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that the chunk of white and the black sole makes them look like running shoes. I'm interested to hear what others think though--could open up some footwear possibilities for me too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sneakers-too-gear#post-904498 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:23:40 +0000 Ariadne 904498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I tried these on in the fuchsia color at a store near my house and felt like I was walking on clouds. &nbsp;Are they too gear for stylish casual wear? &nbsp;The other styles I've been looking at are a bit more streamlined (Converse, Onitsuka Tigers). &nbsp;The big white chunk on the side of the&nbsp;sole, in particular, bugs me a bit.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ladyfootlocker.com/product/model:179803/sku:24981626/nike-air-pegasus-+-29-womens/pink/white/?cm=GLOBAL%20SEARCH%3A%20KEYWORD%20SEARCH">http://www.ladyfootlocker.com/.....D%20SEARCH</a><br /><br />Yay = style<br />Nay = gear
