Running shoes have long been one of the most popular sneaker types out. Even if you don't actually do a damn thing in them, they're comfortable, lightweight and typically pretty appealing to the eye. A lot of sneakerheads seem to be trapped in a glass box of emotion called the past, though. Nothing against the '70s, '80s or '90s, but most of you weren't even around to remember any of those times, so why are you wearing shoes from then? The last few years have seen an influx of performance running shoes fill the market and even with all the dope designs, we still see most kids wearing tired old retros every single day. We decided to step out on limb, hoping to break it off and knock some sense into all of you that can't seem to see the the possiblity in the present. With that said, check out these High Performance Running Shoes That Look Better Than Your Retros.
