I prefer Five Ten Freeriders for biking - all my bikes have flats - with the suede/mesh uppers and the rigid + grippy stealth rubber soles. MSRP is $100 but can be had for as low as $60 when they go on sale. My experience with Freeriders is they break in well and can take a beating. For a change of pace, I also wear low cut Vans with waffle soles, laces, and suede/canvas uppers (Berle Pro, BMX, Old Skool).
