    My hub is 51, and recently developed a love for nice sneaks...or at least for buying them! He has 7 or 8 really fancy pair in the closet (none are white tho!), but he only ever wears the black ones. :D

    Go to most shoe stores and the majority of athletic shoes are white. I got in the habit of buying white when I worked as a nursing assistant and had to have white shoes, just haven't seen a reason to change. Now also have found New Balance to fit me the best and the vast majority of their cross trainers are white. Go with the flow, they are comfortable and I don't spend a ton of time buying shoes.

    i wish. last time i went shopping for runners around here, everything was coloured like the kind of candy you won't let a 5-yo eat unless you detest its parents.

    ...probably because older people are much less susceptible to the constant barrage of sheeple marketing messages instructing everyone what they must buy/wear or what is currently cool and uncool... so they make their own decision (*choke!* *gasp!*) on what they prefer instead.

    That's hilarious because it's true. To complete the uniform, they always tuck their shirt into their jeans.

    Dad jeans!

    There are a lot of us 50+ guys where I work and almost all of them ( but not me) wear either white New Balance or Nike's. What is up with that? Did I miss out on some memo when I turned 50? Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

    My favorite. So clean....
