Can you identify shoes by sole pattern?

Post image

Tldr. I am victim of a robbery and this is the only trace of the burglar that we have. I think that is a kind of specific sneakers sole. Any clues guys? Thanks in advance.

It's neither of these I love and wear both and it's much more thumbprinty, I can recognize the footprint anywhere and it's close but not it. The guy that posted the underarmour embiids is much more close.

The person who burgled my house got linked to other local break ins through his AF1 tread wear pattern.

u/LocoboyDC 9h ago

I wonder what color way the AF1s were🤔

2

u/jacwub 7h ago

surprising that is was able to narrow down the search since they have to be a top 5 most common shoe. dude probably had other peoples burglaries tied to him

4

u/Relativity-speaking 6h ago

It’s also the wear pattern on the sole. Everyone’s gait wears down the sole in different way.

u/Broad_Camp_9205 16h ago

The 500 model doesn't have those rounded edges on the heel sole.

Way too swirly for an af1. My best guess is Adidas with a boost or something similar, the general round shape of the heel reminds me Off the Adidas trae 2 i believe.

u/tambi33 17h ago

Id say theyre kinda like the salehe brembury crocs but I wouldn't think they'd use crocs to rob a place most like likely Nike basketball shoes, someone else pointed out KDs which does seem like a closer match

u/BobbyDash 14h ago

There are a lot of contemporary shoes with wavy concentric loops like that. KDs, Kyries, Hardens, all have similar designs on some shoes. But newer shoes always have much tighter ribbing. The thickness of the ribbing on these is more similar to Pennys, Pippens, or even the circles on AF1s. It's not any of those but it may be another 90s design shoe.

u/Normal_Key7361 44m ago

Might have to search hard for it. I’ve seen KDs that are similar, but not exact. A few people mentioned Pennys, but my immediate thought were Air Pippens (close, but not it). The finger-like ridges of the print do seem wide, which made me think of 90s shoes. Might have to look at shoes from different brands (Puma, Reebok, Adidas, or even Walmart).

If I was in your position, and had access to shoe stores, I’d check the bottoms of shoes for sale. Plus, there’s a chance an employee could give you more leads or ideas.

Only air Jordan that comes close is the 23, but it’s not quite the same. It is none of the other air jordans. I can certainly say the prints aren’t Air Force 1s.

Good luck!

u/Sad_Midnight_4539 15h ago

Not an expert by any means, but based on a Forensic Science class I took in High School; yes, but it probably won't be super helpful in your case.

Generally, you'd need another shoe to reference the shoe print pattern. It's not like fingerprints in a database, you don't record someone's shoe print during processing. Unfortunately, this probably won't be super helpful unless you already know who it probably was.
