Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 (b&w) - they're the trainers Bruce Lee & Uma Thurman wore in their films (y&b). Japanese company and they're still made using the original methods. Which sounds fancy but in reality the 'original methods/materials' aren't as strong as modern trainers so they wear out MUCH faster.
One thing I do like about them though is the soles are very thin. As in you feel like you're walking on bare feet compared to modern heft healed trainers/boots. I like the connected feeling to the ground you get from them.
Normally I'd be wearing DCShoes but my last pair developed a hole after 5yrs so I think they're unused under the bed.
