Honestly one of my best memories at prom is looking back and remembering how i had like the freshest fit there.
I wore all black tux, gold tie and vest and Black/Gold Patent Leather 1s, damn i was fresh!
As fas as black n red, Black/Red XIs would be dope.
Dont wear sneakers that stand out too much and take attention off the suit (such as old love 1s)
I liked my fit cuz it was fresh n conservative, not tacky and flashy.
I also suggest getting some patent leather shoes, not any other type cuz then it dont look good.
Black/Red XVIs get a maybe, Playoff VIIIs get a no no.
Suede might be fresh too, i wanted to wear black/royal XVIIIs but my date was wearing gold so i picked the 1s.
Stealth XX3s might be alright, the thing i dont like about them is the contrast stitching (too flashy IMO).
Stealth XXs would be fresh!! (Dont try anything with the straps though, make sure they dont show, dont try anything stupid with them like tucking in the slacks in them or something like that (ive seen people do it w/ jeans and i just think why would you do that).
The low top 1s that came out about a year ago might not be so bad, plus they under retail so if ppl step on them its no big deal.
To sum it up, pick either Blk/Red XIs, or Stealth XXs. (These are your best bets)
Other than these maybe those low top 1s.
Edit: The blk/red XIXs might not be bad either, but they a little too bulky.

That sounds good and all but he did ask what to wear. You can't tell us to to let him wear what he wants when he is asking what to wear. We just gave suggestions, the same way you gave suggestions. The only difference is we suggest going with dress shoes and you suggest sneakers. So just rememebr he said, "Anybody have any suggestions on what shoes i should wear?" He didn't specify whether he is consider sneakers, dress shoes or boots. He just said recommend a shoe and thats what we did.

Either way, your friends see you in sneaker everyday. It's that one chance to look and play the part. If it really ins't a formal event, thenwhy even bother wearing a tux? Go ahead and wear the baggy or skin tight jeans, with XXL button down, Spizike with a matching fitted or whatever it is kidswear at high school "today." Nothing wrong with that but if you are trying to combine a tux with some sneakers, then I PERSONALLYbelieve it's not appropriate or doesn't look good. To each his own but the argument that it really isn't formal does not justify wearing sneakerswith a tux. If it isn't formal, don't wear a tux, simple as that. Plus your sneakers would match the outfit. Again, thats my PERSONALopinion, that's all.Originally Posted by spacej23
Whoever thinks prom is a "formal" event, then you obviously haven't seen how prom goes on today. There's nothing formal about Soulja Boy or girls hacking their dresses(if you can even call them that) up and grinding on a dude's crotch. Sure, the school might call it a formal event or put "formal event" on the ticket, but that's just a front.
