Same. I wore them back in high school 2006 here in Norway. Only hot for a year. We wore them with camo cargo pants, and studded belts. Even pajamas pants in winter with a bomber jacket with real fox fur trim. Only difference, mines had this flap over the laces with a velcro strap.

They had these driving ones and the boxer type ones which was higher up on the leg so more for the ladies.
this is the shoe that non sneakerheads used to wear back in the day with their Euro fits. And venues would let you in if you wore these and not Timberlands or Air Forces or jordans because well who tended to wear those other shoes was us Black people. Fashion used to fall dramatically along color lines in past eras, which made discriminating on attire easy at venues. they would literally just name brands or models that got you blocked at the door making it easy for racial discrimination or sometimes say outright sneakers were banned but these always got exception for reasons named. Why is is important or even a matter? This shoe reminds me of that. For me it has a negative legacy due to my personal association. Weird to see it make a resurgence and especially in the "sneaker community" because this was the ultimate i'm a fashion snob but i make exceptions for one sneaker type shoe.
maybe try it in store first to see how they fit or get it from a place that has a good return policy. that way you dont have to worry if they fit nice or not :)
These speedcat OG's are also populair in martial artist and tai chi because of the low profile so you really feel the floor. They have the sparco version of it but those are not cool at all with a car advertisement on your sneaker. Like yo look art me with my bmw douchebag apparel. The OG's are the coolest looking sneakers ever. but they are not made for walking for longer periods.
hehe i dont know about it being the most uncomfortable pair of shoes, from what i felt they had a nice layer of cushioning on the bottom. more cushioning than what i've felt with the sambas
I think that depends on your feet and what you find comfortable. They are driving shoes so not really meant to walk around in all day long. They were hot for a year here in Norway and I wore my pair through all the seasons, even in winter with snow and ice and rain in the fall when I was in high school 2006. I don’t remember them to be much uncomfortable either and my feet are quite flat. Loved them!
Surely not comfortable? Ive worn sparco race shoes before. No support, no cushioning, nothing. Feel everything through the shoe. Good for racing not for walking
Wha.....?! I used to rock these back in uni (1998-2003) with boot cut jeans! Jesus never thought I would live to see these becoming hyped again!
well thats fashion trends for ya hehe

Crazy, by that time these where 🔥 99-03
Me Also Rocked T/ Early 2000's
I love how these are literally driving shoes but everyone just wears them casually
hehe yeah, they're perfect for driving. maybe they just wana carry that driving feeling as their walking hehe
No different than everyone wearing basket shoes, football/handball shoes nowadays…

Had them in their 2000s hype... Best driving sneakers 😅
i know...soooo good for driving
I love these shoes! Wore them in 2003-2007 in brown cream colour! ❤
oh cool. i think they just recently came out in a brown colour way hehe
I used to have like 8 pairs all the Mercedes ones I was heavy into these 8-9 years ago
wow...thats a really long time. did anything change between the years of the make, materials and fit?
That doggo is cute as heck
yeah gucci is a really pretty dog
Nostalgia is a 20 year cycle. I remember selling these in my retail days, still not for me though lol
nice review dude! And I also own a Samoyed, extra props for that haha
AWWWWWWW you got a Samoyed too. bless you and your pup! but thanks for the feedback
Remember wearing them with boot cuts in 2001-2😂
well they're back baby!! haha
I have the 2020-2021 Black Sparco version with off white soles. Very unique shoe for sure and a must for motorsports die hards.
Rose from BlackPink was wearing a nude pair in Europe and it just blew up from there
oh yeah definitely. i think some people are calling it the Rose' affect
Hey..I had those back in early 2000. The Sparco label on the tongue . Damn..

I went half size down. I'm usually a size 10 in Nike, I copped a size 9 for this bad boys
ok thats awesome. im glad the sizing worked out for you
Which colour is best??
black if you want to get more bang for your buck. but red is really striking
My only gripe with Puma Motorsports sneakers are not so wide foot friendly. I wish Puma made motorsport sneakers that have Wide foot options.
Puma in general don’t make very wide foot friendly shoes I’ve noticed. Tho I had these back in high school and no issues as they were leather/suede.
What size are you in Jordan 1?
size US 9.5
These look so cool ❤
yeah they have a pretty cool look to them right
Jeremy Clarkson wears them soo.....paint me impressed.
im scared of buying this shoe, bc i am wide footed. should i buy it or nah? thanks
maybe try it in store first to see how they fit or get it from a place that has a good return policy. that way you dont have to worry if they fit nice or not :)
is it safe for a puma speedcat og for all time red-puma white to have green box? it is purchased from italy.
Here in Germany also
Which country is it made from?
i am usually us size 7. should i go for 7.5?
Yes, because they are smaller than other shoes.
are their soles firm? i have flat feet, so my doctor advised me to have smthng with a fixed sole and a back. can these sneakers fit? thanks
The soles are as thib as you can get them
Love your content mate - keep it up!
thanks for the love :)

These are the most uncomfortable shoes ever I know from experience lol

all good. how long ago did you wear sparco shoes? im asking because i think maybe they've updated these speedcats to be more cushiony :)
@@KIXPLORE maybe 2 years ago now(?) i was on sharp gravel though so could have been a factor. Probably better on flat ground
Nah definitely not feeling these. In terms of comfort and style I'll go with new balance all day.
New balance is 100% comfort 0% style
@@dragonquake lol only new balance know how to style. Maybe you should try new balance made in USA 990 lines or Made in UK 991v2
