Maybe my definition of "casual" has changed a bit, as all of the current Nike "casual" shoes that I saw look way too ridiculous.
I guess my casual is something I could wear anywhere. I wouldn't go to the office in basketball shoes, even working in tech, even on the west coast. I miss designs that are simple, minimalistic, comfortable all arounders. I have Timberland shoes like that, but they are nowhere as comfortable as Nikes, business shoes are just not comfortable at all, and I just wish Nike still made decent casual/business-casual shoes that don't look like I just jogged to work while hitting the court in my work clothes on the way.
These days I'm into Nike for the comfort, as I find them much better than anything else in that regard, but I just can't find an appropriate design.
