6 Sneakers Adult Men Should NEVER Wear!

Sneakers are a men's style essential that every guy should own. The problem is that many guys wear the wrong sneakers because there's a thin line between looking stylish, smooth, and fresh ... and looking like a huge dumbass. Today I'm going over sneakers that adult dudes should never wear. My minimal sneakers come from Thursday Boots. They have a new collection too. Unbelievably sexy. So, without further interruption, here are the shoes that make a man unsexy!
Athletic shoes with the wrong clothing. A man should never wear athletic shoes with non-athletic clothing. Men will wear running or athletic shoes with jeans, chinos, flat-front khakis, or shorts, which any of these are unstylish.

Dirty white sneakers. Make sure your white sneakers are not discolored with scratches and scuffs. It will make you look like a massive slob. Also, make sure the sole is white if they are white. I use a Magic Eraser to clean mine. You can go over any area that might have a little dirt. If you don't want to mess with cleaning white soles, opt for a gum sole that doesn't show dirt.

Bulky white sneakers. Sneakers like Air Force ones look fine for young dudes. But if you're an adult man, you want to look for a leaner anesthetic. Bulky sneakers will make men look short and more casual. It's also impossible to dress up bulky, casual sneakers. However, you can wear a great pair of minimal sneakers and a suit. Check out my demonstration with a lightweight fabric suit which is great for a summer barbecue or an evening out. You can even lose the jacket and kill it -- sexy and clean.

Not coordinating correctly. When wearing something like a Jordan One (one of my all-time favorite sneakers), they come in many badass colors. Most older men look stupid because they're not rocking the appropriate fit. It's all about coordination. You could opt for something with attitude and edge that is still a bit retro-inspired such as the Air Max. They come in a ton of different colors, and you can dress them up a bit, such as rocking them with jeans.

Ultra-stylized shoes. Older dudes don't look great in these trendy shoes. It's hard to pull them off. Another downside to trendy shoes is that they are expensive. These shoes really stand out; the truth is, shoes shouldn't be telling people to look at them. They should tie the outfit together. Plus, ultra-stylized shoes can make you look like a huge douche. Instead, like my tan suede ones, go for something solid in color. They'll work for years.

Retro-sneakers at the inappropriate time. They are super casual and sporty -- great for the gym, running around on the weekend, and sporty outfits. Don't wear these retro-inspired sneakers with jeans. Instead, opt for a minimal white style.

I am a 63 year old white guy. I wear Jordan's. I don't care what others think. I went many years wearing cheap sneakers as I spent money on my kids, so that they would have the in style and nice clothes. They are all grown. Now it's my time.

This is like: NOO DON'T WEAR THAT SHOES, USE THIS SHITTY ONES I'M ENDORSING 😭😭

"Dont wear these BUT guess what, a company that I'm directly involved in can sell you these"

[miltonbaptiste]

Talking loud and pushing your brand of kicks won’t get anyone to wear them. You rocked what you like and I care less what other people thinks. I wear all kind of sneakers and I don’t need anyone telling me what I can and not wear. You can’t go around calling people stupid or looking stupid for wearing what they like. They’re are other ways of articulating, insulting is not one of them.

Had a patient's 70 yr old husband come in with a white hat, pink Ralph Lauren Polo, and white AF1s. Had to compliment him, as I had my AJ1 Racer Blues on to work a 12 hr shift as a RN. My Dad wore his Jordans in his 70s too, with his 88 Datejust, 66 Vette. Wear what you want and dont give a fuck folks. Minimalist sneakers have no pulse.

You can never go wrong with a fresh White pair of Air Force one's. It's not a matter of age appropriate. It's you're style preference.

Air Jordans and Air Force 1s are an exception. They look good with jeans an a lot of other outfits as well

I am 50 years old and I own over 100 pair of Jordans and I also have multiple pairs of Air Force 1”s and I love them and I’m never gonna stop wearing them. Thanks though

I go with Stan Smiths these days. Clean and not too clunky. I used to wear air forces, but think stan smith's slimmer profile looks better for my aesthetic.

Style depends on where you live im in Baltimore city and i can tell you the urban style is still in style and the women are into it.

Everyone has there own style. Wear whatever you want 😂

As a soon to be 48 year old man who was born 2 years after Hip Hop, I still wear all type of sneakers. With that I have included several minimal sneakers because the flashy sneakers are not always appropriate. Some sneakers that I wore as a child/teen, I will not wear now because at 48 I have out grown that look.

Everyone swag is different, recently I had on some Nike's and shorts and a woman complimented me. Bottomline incorporate some minimal sneakers but also know what fits you and understand what you may have wore at 10 or 17 does not work for you at 40.

Adult men don’t wear jean jackets and rock earrings

Be careful with magic eraser, eventually started wearing away at the leather of my white shoes so be gentle.

4:19 THAT’S a perfect outfit for a summer barbecue? Lol never in my life seen somebody get that dressed up for a barbecue.

Sneakers have become such a thing with the youth in recent times. So he made this video to point that out. Youngsters wear them so adults shouldn’t. but regardless. Sneaker collecting goes way back to the 90’s. Many men won’t agree with this. Moreover those that grew up collecting. Don’t forget this is the same guy that said MVMT watches were better than Rolex. He will say anything for a video and profit.

I’m 32 and I actually prefer the look of clothes not matching with my Jordan’s or any other sneaker for that matter. I just saw a guy wearing a grey jacket with black graphics, black jeans and bright yellow sneakers. I thought it looked sick.

[silvercat]

A grown man could wear whatever they want to wear, it's how you wear see men wear their sneakers better than most of the young people

[canibusnj]

Also, all white sneakers are a spring and summer, dry and nice weather shoe. It's not a daily wearer!

[thesneed]

I both agree and disagree... As a grown man, I just feel whatever the look or shoe that's worn.... The combo should look fitted and neat. I feel tht can be done with AJ1s, AF1s etc. It really depends on the PERSON and how they carry themselves.

But I also agree that the minimalistic style and nice clean look does look very grown man as well. I can't lie, those Thursday sneakers are 🔥🔥🔥 and I will be copping a few pairs 🤷🏿‍♂️

And YES, I agree that athletic shoes with a suit is 🤢😂
