Airwalk Men's Grind Lace Sneakers, Sizes 7.5-13

Airwalk stopped making these in the all gray color (which my man loves). He had several pairs of those, which eventually become work shoes that he wears until they fall off his feet (many rounds of Gorilla glue/Shoe Goo keep them going). So, he could not get past the green/blue color. This green color is like a bright Kelly green! What were they thinking for an adult man's shoe (I could see for a 5 yr old. Looked like clown feet in a size 13). As these are "the most comfortable shoe I've ever had" per my husband. Well, I ordered a couple of black shoe paint pens and a clear paint pen (both acrylic I think, but meant for shoe leather). 3 coats over the green with black, drying in between, then two coats of clear over that, dried in between. I left the navy blue alone as it's dark anyway...now he has black/navy Airwalks! No running or fading of color, which I was worried about and he has comfy shoes. The paint pens were like 8 bucks...also found on Amazon. I'm going to buy another pair of these and do the same thing...but I'm hopeful Airwalk will make normal color shoes for men again soon!

Bitd we couldn't always afford Vans. The old Airwalks ended up wearing better and looking better with the old script A. Happy to own another pair, as they are hard to find. Love these colors (navy blue, white, bright green) and they are a tough leather, plus canvas in the areas where it's good to have some stretch. I'll take these over Vans all day at this price 🤙🏼
