not hey Dudes

Also don't understand the deal with Hey Dudes? Twenty years ago we just called them boat shoes or topsiders...

What specifically are "Dad New Balances?"

'Cause I run about 20-25 miles per week and after trying all the top brands my preferred shoe is New Balance, and I'm a Dad--- does that make my shoes "Dad New Balances?"

Either the plain gray ones (515s or maybe 574s) or some of the more plain white ones.

The “Dad” starter pack.

My mom always complained that the only shorts my dad wore were coaching shirts or free polos from work conferences.  I spent $250 on 10 well made UM/Tigers/Red Wings/Pistons/Lions shirts for him one Christmas.  Its now been 10 years, and they remain his entire casual rotation.  I threw in one EMU shirt, bc I said he might want one of bis actual alma mater to balance the UM shirts, but Ive never seen him wear it

Ah okay.  Well my current New Balance are black and they're the fresh foam 1080s.  Previous pair have been neon green, bright blue, and yeah, probably gray.  I get whatever's on clearance to save a few bucks.

Can't recall ever wearing jorts.

And my preferred sunglass style is the Ray Ban Wayfarer.

Peacock has been great overall, I've watched more live events this year than probably all other Olympics combined. Six bucks well invested.

My only issue is certain events are pushed entirely there.  Its nice for people who love boxing or tennis to be able to warch it all there, but Im not going to seek thoae sports out, so I end up watching none, while I consume equestrian, sinply because USA goes there after volleyball for 30 minutes

I actually wear a couple pairs of 'running ' shoes despite never running.  On and Saucony.   Convinced some time ago to vary the footwear for working out.

The air pistol guy needs a cigarette. He kinda fits our bill for man on the street in olympics.

Which backs me up that the sport that you could most easily hide in totally unqualified is shooting

[GopherRock]

Can't recall ever wearing jorts.

That's because you were never associated with the University of Florida. Because only Gator fans wear jorts.

How did this thread, which started as an Olympics thread, become an apparel thread?

[betarhoalphadelta]

Are these dad new balance?
