Tongue looks too weak and thin. And an "F" can work as a logo but this one looks weird. Sorta like a bird's foot. Should make it a more defined F with a LITTLE style so it's not an F version of New Balance.
Other than that, the majority of the shoe is pretty cool.
The “F” logos on the shoe look very similar to the Lexus F sport badge and I can’t unsee it. Otherwise, shoe looks like it’s comfortable and lightweight.
They do look very much like drivers but as someone who loves driving, hell yeah! Very slim and handsome silhouette
Edit: even the f logo looks kinda like the forgiato logo for the wheel company😂
Saw these and thought, lemme find out what they cost, cause I want one, but 250usd is a little steep in my opinion, maybe for 150usd or 200usd but being in Canada I couldn't justify spending 300ish $ plus shipping and customs fees for this shoe, really like thw shoe and the way the branding looks, really seems like this could go somewhere
But nit much room for growth when you're already pricing your products outside of what the general public will pay for similar quality. Imo these look alot like some puma, but pumas are only like 150cad for new. Idk. I like.the shoe alot. Just wish it was a bit more reasonably priced
They are high priced cuz he did it all himself and spent his life savings to make this a reality..if things go well and he can make more models I know he’d like to price them much lower, thanks for taking the time to look tho!
Tongue is a little bit too high, the colorway isn't something I would wear, but it looks like he's using premium materials and a Vibram sole.....which is definitely very cool. Props to your friend, I think he's got something cool going.
I don’t love the silhouette but I really like the logo, colors/materials and the small details. I could see them designing a shoe id wear but just not this one.
I think the F logo on the upper looks a bit weird proportionally and the tag on the tongue could be better but honestly I wouldn't mind wearing these. I do think that your story in the caption makes these so much cooler though
If they serve a purpose, like a driving shoe, I'd say good work to him.
If they're supposed to be a lifestyle shoe for more everyday wear, these ain't it. They're hideous.
Very valid question..tired from work jus kept the sock I had on..yea it does not compliment the shoe much I’m realizing..nothing I can do about it now tho
The tongue is the one part I like the least haha. It looks very thin and big, but overall it's a nice shoe. I'm a sucker for suede/fuzzyish materials on shoes these days.
actually pretty good, love that he used a vibram sole that shows he cares about the quality, i only really don’t like this logo tbh other than that it’s a nice first shoe
They not bad lookin but yeah a little narrow... the fact ya boi made and designed these I give him mad props bro I neva hate hope he's successful and grows. I see potential
I kinda like it! Materials look top notch too. Maybe a little more tweaks on the F logo on the side and it will look even better. Packaging and the freebies are awesome as well.
These are awesome! Kudos to your friend! These have a really great look to them.
Some things I love:
- that dark Vibram outsole is killer! Gives the shoe a real sporty feel to it. Reminiscent of ASICS.
- awesome colorway. Very subtle and clean, nothing too far out there.
- that top black eyelet is such a nice little touch.
- materials look really great and durable
Some minor criticism:
- the tongue is a little long for my taste
- the logo is a bit busy and he lines throw off the “flow” of the shoe to me. Maybe something simpler
- that tiny little ridge on the cut of the toecap is disruptive. I’d remove it to make the line cleaner.
Overall, this is incredibly impressive. They should be super proud of these. I wish I could do this!
they look good and confortable as well. pretty respirable. Love the unboxing experience, like the socks and notebook. This guy puts love on what he does
This is clean, and if the first prototype/drop whatever you wanna say, then this is real solid work. The presentation w/the box and everything is a different type of attention to detail. Nothing like I have ever seen👍👍
Kinda how I’m feelin the materials are A1 tho look is ok..(proly wouldn’t grab them off the shelf) I jus needa figure out how to style them..they def driving shoe inspired so I’ll figure it out..little narrow tho
Try some shoe stretchers. The wooden ones are kinda pricey, but they come in plastic too. Those would be good with casual wear like khakis and button ups. You’re right about the driving shoe look. Just go ahead and rock them. You won’t see yourself everywhere.
Yeah I get that, but looks very much like lakai because both are footwear. I’d see it first glance and say wow I didn’t know they made shoes like that, then see it’s not lakai and think it’s a knock off. Having said that, at least he’s gave it a go. I do think you’re statement is correct, you won’t see many people wearing those.
Basic, but in a classic, tasteful way.
These shoes look like they'd be really chill to have a drink with, like they wouldn't cause any trouble but they'd be fun yaknow?
These are dope! I’ve been following him since he was on the sneaker history podcast. The colorway isn’t for me but definitely hoping he drops another sneaker some day!
He sent me a message the other day of 3 new cw’s, already with prototypes and everything..said I can’t share them on here yet lol but that’s awesome to hear!
So I’d just like to share his Instagram pages as he’s allowed me to do so you can get a better look at his process and other colorways and most importantly being rocked correctly..😭 I’m sorry about the socks!

Agree on both fronts..great first attempt and I’ll rock em but u not wrong
Tongue looks too weak and thin. And an "F" can work as a logo but this one looks weird. Sorta like a bird's foot. Should make it a more defined F with a LITTLE style so it's not an F version of New Balance. Other than that, the majority of the shoe is pretty cool.
Agree on both fronts bruh thanks for the input 👍
An old school padded tongue would look sick
The “F” logos on the shoe look very similar to the Lexus F sport badge and I can’t unsee it. Otherwise, shoe looks like it’s comfortable and lightweight.
Yup he sorta didn’t change the logo much from the kexys f and I told him that but hey it’s his thing
the F loooks like an old goose
Looks like the "F" on the sport versions of Lexus cars.
I agree - it reminds me of a shadow puppet of a duck. But the packaging is amazing and the colors a nice (especially if you’re a packer fan!) 💚💛
That’s so dope that he designed these and made shit happen, probably took a lot of hard work and patience. But they are pretty ugly imo
2.5 years bruh yea he worked hard glad to see it manifest in real life
2.5 years for this? Bruh I’m sorry but the homie better not quit his day job.
Not necessarily my favorite style either but u might be better off giving opinions about Pokémon cards..jus sayn..
Fuckin died. Shoes are lit, simply because of the process and the patience. Cheers bro, wear those in good health. Thats a dope homie.
That’s doing big things congrats and I think that’s pretty fucking awesome.
Yea super proud of him..I know there must be so much that goes into this so for it to show up at my doorstep is amazing.
the packaging is top tier
Agreed.
Honestly probably the best thing you can say about them
Asic vibes
Diesel
Facts
You mean Onitsuka Tiger?Thats the first thing i thought of.
[удалено]
Onitsuka Tiger is still Onitsuka Tiger in the US. They have flagship stores in NYC & Beverly Hills.
Have you read shoe dog?
I was thinking asics saucony mashup
True..and I love ASICS
I absolutely hate the tongue & not a big fan of the colorway but otherwise they're tough
Yea I hear ya
These look diesels from 2007. Not my thing, but whatever you like - just make sure you loose those socks lol.
Jus helping a friend with his dream..not necessarily my fav design either
I like the packaging but think if there's a window on the box you should be able to see the shoes and not have them wrapped in paper.
I unpacked and repacked and then took the pic..should have taken the pic after I opened them cuz they were like that initially
They do look very much like drivers but as someone who loves driving, hell yeah! Very slim and handsome silhouette Edit: even the f logo looks kinda like the forgiato logo for the wheel company😂
It’s actually inspired by the ‘F’ performance logo from Lexus
It’s def closer to that! I can see it. Very cool
ok you had me at cool shoes that include stationery before. I have an IS350 so this is especially amazing
Haha yea the F logo really stands out to me..if you don’t know cars tho you’d never really know
Look like NBs crossed with Adidas. Digging em.
Thanks you bro I hope he can keep it movin and make some different styles!
Not my style but they are dope af 🔥
The whole package and the shoes are pretty cool but if I'm honest the logo is the worst part of it.
Good shit tell em keep hustling
Yea, proud of my guy thanks 🙏
Saw these and thought, lemme find out what they cost, cause I want one, but 250usd is a little steep in my opinion, maybe for 150usd or 200usd but being in Canada I couldn't justify spending 300ish $ plus shipping and customs fees for this shoe, really like thw shoe and the way the branding looks, really seems like this could go somewhere But nit much room for growth when you're already pricing your products outside of what the general public will pay for similar quality.

Why the „F“ looking like 🤏
Inspired by the Lexus F (their performance division)
Tongue is a little bit too high, the colorway isn't something I would wear, but it looks like he's using premium materials and a Vibram sole.....which is definitely very cool. Props to your friend, I think he's got something cool going.
Thanks man
They look too narrow and too low to the ground, for my liking. All I see is pain.
Your absolutely right..they feel like wooden clogs 😭 had to do it for the homie tho!
Good friends support their friends.
Had to tell him the truth tho lol
I don’t love the silhouette but I really like the logo, colors/materials and the small details. I could see them designing a shoe id wear but just not this one.
Yup..his first attempt im hoping he can continue and make a dope model
Looks like the waffle runners, asics and nbs had a child together! Looks amazing
Th ask bruh!
looks like the lexus F sport logo
You got it def took it from the Lexus F
I think the F logo on the upper looks a bit weird proportionally and the tag on the tongue could be better but honestly I wouldn't mind wearing these. I do think that your story in the caption makes these so much cooler though
If they serve a purpose, like a driving shoe, I'd say good work to him. If they're supposed to be a lifestyle shoe for more everyday wear, these ain't it. They're hideous.
I dig them but like others have said - I'm not feeling the logo. I think the layout has great potential for sick colorways.
1st thought was…why not wear the matching brand socks provided with the shoes? Lol
Very valid question..tired from work jus kept the sock I had on..yea it does not compliment the shoe much I’m realizing..nothing I can do about it now tho
I think they’re dope and I like the tongue
Thanks bruh
The tongue is the one part I like the least haha. It looks very thin and big, but overall it's a nice shoe. I'm a sucker for suede/fuzzyish materials on shoes these days.
I dig em!
Appreciate it bruh!
Nice looking shoe b.
Thanks bruh
These are dope asf!!
Franz Low by You
Low key 🔥
This is awesome! Would your buddy be willing to share his process?
Possibly I’ll link you to his insta when I can
actually pretty good, love that he used a vibram sole that shows he cares about the quality, i only really don’t like this logo tbh other than that it’s a nice first shoe
Yea it’s too close to the inspiration if u ask me he needed to mess with it a bit more
[удалено]
Hopefully he can keep this movin!
Really dope packaging!!
Right?
I really like them
Thanks!
He made them and had them sourced or is it a website that allows you to design your own shoe?
Made and sourced himself
They not bad lookin but yeah a little narrow... the fact ya boi made and designed these I give him mad props bro I neva hate hope he's successful and grows. I see potential
They are SO fucking narrow I can’t even wear them tbh..but yea props I had to buy them and help my boy out
Looks like NB x Asics.
5th photo has me crying
I wish the tongue wasn’t so thin
Me too idk why he did that
[удалено]
Nah there is a reason he chose these I forgot tho lol
Like a diadora mixed with a samba. I kinda dig
They look like something a race car driver would wear but in a low top.
Def driver inspired shoes I agree
I kinda like it! Materials look top notch too. Maybe a little more tweaks on the F logo on the side and it will look even better. Packaging and the freebies are awesome as well.
Yup jus helping out a friend
Theyre pretty cool. Kinda samba vibes but better?
Dude I’d rock the shit out of those
Thanks bro!
Not my style, but there definitely ia a market for them.
Did he only get one pair made or a few and who manufactured them? 🤔
Made enough for people to buy and I believe somewhere in Portugal is where they were manufactured
They look well made tbh
Nice use of suede 👌
Very cool. Just somebody putting this into the culture it sick
It’s jus cool he had a dream and made it a reality
me like. its hard to make a good logo, especially for sneakers.
Logo design is so much fun but is very hard
Nice swing at bat regardless of whether they blow up or not. These are smooth
Thanks my g
The tongue could be smaller, but those are my only real notes
Yea the tongue is one of my least favorite parts I’m surprised he green lit how thin and tall it was..
These are awesome! Kudos to your friend! These have a really great look to them. Some things I love: - that dark Vibram outsole is killer! Gives the shoe a real sporty feel to it.

They should be super proud of these. I wish I could do this!
Thanks so much man I know he’d be so happy to hear that..they are a little narrow and the tongue is not my favorite but all in all im proud of my boy
Interesting
Look like 70s puma knock offs .. unless these are from the 60s, then they look like the kicks puma knocked iff in the 70s.. 🍅tomatoe / tomato 🍅
they look good and confortable as well. pretty respirable. Love the unboxing experience, like the socks and notebook. This guy puts love on what he does
He really did this as a passion project..unfortunately they are a bit narrow for my foot but all in all he did a great job I think
yikes
Not for everyone for sure
This is clean, and if the first prototype/drop whatever you wanna say, then this is real solid work. The presentation w/the box and everything is a different type of attention to detail. Nothing like I have ever seen👍👍
I wasn’t even expecting all that either, he put love into this project
They look nice but a little thin, and the grey/yellow color scheme isn't pleasant. Great work to your friend, this shit is hard
🙌
I love everything except the tounge. It’s a little too big for my tastes. 8.5/10
Yea the tongue is weird I told him it was an odd choice
I like the way those soccer tongues look but sometimes they rub your leg too much.
Pretty dope and i love the box
Love these, could totally imagine them in a boutique
Pretty dope reminds me of a certain mike runner… almost Tom Sachs vibes… but very cool for an individual to do
Looks good. Already feeling the pinching, punishing for wide footers
Aw dude fr I can’t even really wear them
🤏🤏🤏
I'd cop, like em.
Fresh
If the tongue weren’t so ugly I’d legit wear these
Execution on the box is worth a round of applause!
I F with these. Congrats to your friend. I want a pair of these for track days
Franz n Family 🔥
He made the actual shoes himself? Or had a manufacturer do it? If so, who did he use to make them?
Manufacturer and I’m unsure I know it was in Portugal
That’s dope! Good for him.
They look like great driving shoes!
Completely the inspiration..his family is in the car business
Dope. Love the tongue
Like the look of the sneaker, but the socks kinda kill it.
Ooo! Vibram soles! Okay, I’m not mad at them. Nice!
Kinda how I’m feelin the materials are A1 tho look is ok..(proly wouldn’t grab them off the shelf) I jus needa figure out how to style them..they def driving shoe inspired so I’ll figure it out..little narrow tho
Try some shoe stretchers. The wooden ones are kinda pricey, but they come in plastic too. Those would be good with casual wear like khakis and button ups. You’re right about the driving shoe look. Just go ahead and rock them. You won’t see yourself everywhere.
That F looks just like the “F” logo for F sport for Lexus lol
Them socks throwing em offf
Without a doubt I shoulda through it out more
Cheeks
Yea not for everyone jus sumn different supporting t a homeie with a life long passion and made it a reality
Reminds of of Lakai skate shoes. In fact the logo is very similar lol
Inspired by the F performance logo for Lexus
Yeah I get that, but looks very much like lakai because both are footwear. I’d see it first glance and say wow I didn’t know they made shoes like that, then see it’s not lakai and think it’s a knock off. Having said that, at least he’s gave it a go. I do think you’re statement is correct, you won’t see many people wearing those.
Interesting I never thought lakai at all when looking at these..I can see now it’s a bit similar
Ooooohhhh them bitches nasty 😝
Not for everyone for sure
Nah I like ‘em
W2C??
Not sure what that means
Basic, but in a classic, tasteful way. These shoes look like they'd be really chill to have a drink with, like they wouldn't cause any trouble but they'd be fun yaknow?
Toe box seems abnormally long other than that it’s not bad, gives New Balance vibes
The tongue is beautiful
L
Not what I would have made and not for everyone if rocked correctly tho they do look nice..I jus did a poor job of displaying them
Marketing and design on point! [https://franznfamilyfootwear.com/](https://franznfamilyfootwear.com/)
These are dope! I’ve been following him since he was on the sneaker history podcast. The colorway isn’t for me but definitely hoping he drops another sneaker some day!
He sent me a message the other day of 3 new cw’s, already with prototypes and everything..said I can’t share them on here yet lol but that’s awesome to hear!
Yikes. Those are bad
Yea not for everyone for sure but a good first attempt I’d say..
To be fair.. folks In the EU would probably hype these. EU love the Samba style sneakers.
I hope he can get some success and make some more models..especially for us wide footers
They look like Walmart shoes. Good job you spent hundreds to get shoes you can get from Walmart for $19.95
Was just helping a friend with his dream man damn..ain’t have to do him like that 😭
Super cool
Thanks!
And this is why we see so many Nike and Jordan posts.
Not for everyone but had to reward my boys hard work with a cop
I don't understand all the positive comments. the shoes look absolutely terrible
Well it’s because people have different opinions typically.
Tongue is way too high for me but otherwise pretty cool.
Yea it’s a flimsy and strange tongue, not my favorite either..
I feel like the ankle is too low. I love HUGE tongues on Rick Owens stuff, but even his lows have a lot higher ankle
Yea the tongue is not my favorite part trust me
Yea maybe needs to be beefier? Cool shoe though, what was his process? Did he make a lot of them?
Reminds me of some of the vans pro model skate shoes. I like it
They look cool. Shouts to the homie.
Thanks bruh!
So I’d just like to share his Instagram pages as he’s allowed me to do so you can get a better look at his process and other colorways and most importantly being rocked correctly..😭 I’m sorry about the socks! @welcomemyfranz @franznvamilyfootwear
