White running shoes, are they mad?

Perhaps you should have thought first before buying white shoes.

They were US$25, but still these companies need to think.

I like white trainers. I wish there were more, I miss them. I hate all these stupid bright red and yellow ones.

Why would they be mad? Are you thinking they are angry at you personally, or everyone that buys shoes?

Mad like the hatter.

White shoes look better than dark shoes, but only after they get dirty. Clean running shoes look ridiculous.

This is one of the reasons I, a woman, prefer to buy men's shoes. (That, and my really wide toes.) Women's running shoes tend to come in wimpy pastel colors, perhaps not white but light, that look like heck the first time you step in a mud puddle. Men's shoes are usually, not always, in more robust colors that withstand the elements better.

If the shoe I otherwise wanted came only in white, I would buy it. But I would grumble about it.

You should never buy a pair of running shoes and set them aside for eight months. The foam used in mid-sole cushioning has a limited shelf life

and will deteriorate over time, even while sitting in the closet.

You should throw these shoes away and buy a new pair of Nike Vaporflys. Then find a Tesla to run behind.

I see a lot of elites somehow wearing white shoes, must be semi-custom

they look darn good in them too

If companies did not make white shoes that nobody wanted then they would not eventually make their way to the $25 bargain bin for you.

Was Asics "mad" when these came out in the early 80's?

You forgot the gigantic clock and 6 fresh pacers.
