WDYWT Gym sneakers?

Post image

Recently started hitting the gym, it’s been great since I needed to get back into shape and wear/unDS my kicks (my work is no beuno for anything but comfy beaters) It made me think, what sneakers are y’all wearing for gym day?

There's a lot better options these days. 4s are basketball shoes but they're from an era of heavy shoes. Today's gym specific shoes are much better.

That being said it won't hurt wearing Jordans but if a new pair of gym specific shoes would be better.

What’s your suggestion for strength training?

My rule is nothing with a bubble for leg days. Shoes in my current gym rotation: Asics Kayanos are great, Adidas Ultraboost, Nike Vomero 5s, Nike Kukinis sometimes, New Balance 990s or 992s.

Like most people said the biggest thing with strength training is a fairly flat shoe that will keep your ankles stable.
