More and more people are turning up in the retro running shoes, like the Onitsuka Tiger which was a popular running shoe. Running shoe technology as move on substantially since then, though the evidence that better running shoes actually make a difference is limited. Despite this, there is nothing wrong with these type of shoes, such as the Onitsuka Tigers as a fashion statement but I am not so sure you want to use them for running long distances unless plenty of time that is needed to adapt to using them. They do have a very flimsy construction compared to the modern running shoe, so are not going to last as long if you do a lot of running in them.
