13225537, So who's copping Nike's"robot" shoes aka Air McFly 2.0?
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 03:22 PM
If you didn't know you were in the digital age before, you should know now...

https://www.nike.com/launch/t/hyperadapt-1-0-habanero-red

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdjwyZ7HEXg

The new tech is gonna run you $720+ (depending on if you can get them).

OR you could drop almost that much and get the Levi J's (comes with matching jacket) lol Trust you not finding it for less than $800 without standing in line at a tier 0.

https://sneakernews.com/2018/01/08/jordan-4-levis-official-store-list/

13225543, What if they break and won’t unbuckle?
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Jan-12-18 03:35 PM
This better happen at some point.
13225546, I think they secure but don't lock
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 03:50 PM
Plus there's a manual override on the side I believe so you can adjust them.

I'm curious what the batter life is like and can they really stand up to activity.
13225559, I want those orange gatorade jordans more and I don't wear sneaks
Posted by Atillah Moor, Fri Jan-12-18 04:24 PM
like that
13225582, which ones? The 6's or the 1's? The 1's are sitting on shelves...
Posted by Dstl1, Fri Jan-12-18 05:22 PM
6's, too. You can still hold them at retail.

Can't find them though.
13225588, those Golden Wheat 13's and City of Flight 1's are on shelves, now...
Posted by Dstl1, Fri Jan-12-18 05:38 PM
you can get them retail. You gone get your head busted a little for the green 6's...prolly $350 or so, depending on your size.
13225591, Nah...them green 6's are too loud for me lol
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:42 PM
If I rock anything loud, it's usually red.

Like these (which I'm coppin'...they are on the list):

https://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/kobe-ad-mighty-it-pe-basketball-shoe/pid-12274211/pgid-12397386

I know I can get 'em. I'm weighing my options. Once I finalize the list, I'm copping. $300 don't scare me. Those Pierre Hardy's run $300.
13225593, right on...I been heavy on Kobe 11's lately...
Posted by Dstl1, Fri Jan-12-18 05:44 PM
the fit is immaculate and they got crazy traction. Picked up 2 pair from the Nike Outlet yesterday.
13225596, I copped that mango pair you were posting about on here awhile back
Posted by DJR, Fri Jan-12-18 05:50 PM
Found them for cheap, those are clean too! I love the 11’s. Still playing in the draft day pair when I do hoop.

13225597, bruh, I love those damn shoes, so much...
Posted by Dstl1, Fri Jan-12-18 05:53 PM
I get more comments about those shoes when I wear them than any J's I rock.
13225598, Never owned a pair of Kobe's but I wanted some red
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:56 PM
and those just pop.

Total I'm trying to get 9-10 pair and wrap it up.

6 for the cubbies/casual wear and 3 hoop shoes.

I love blues on these:

https://www.nike.com/t/react-hyperdunk-2017-flyknit-basketball-shoe-v2TE93KW/917726-400

and reds on these too (copping both)

https://www.nike.com/t/hyperdunk-2017-team-basketball-shoe-0ZwJyB/897808-600

and the Lebron 15's on deck:

https://www.nike.com/t/lebron-15-basketball-shoe-w8TolbPe/897648-006

^^^Edit: Those will be the 3 hoopers

I was eyeing these too...MAN I cannot find them:

https://tinyurl.com/y9rd6zak

I was willing to drop up to $400 on at least one designer pair but the ones I want, can't find the colorways I want.
13225599, these are one of the ones I copped yesterday...

13225602, Oh yeah, the soles on those are legit
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 06:08 PM
I like the Tongue/Top design too.

The Kobe's I linked up have a little gold and white in them too though. That's what drew me to them. If I hadn't seen them first...
13225617, Those are loud AND dope as hell

To hoop, I've rotated between the Hyperize, Hyperdunks and the Jordan Superflys for like 4-5 yrs.

The new dunks are fly though.
13225645, I’ve got the 2016 lows, which are pretty good
Posted by DJR, Sat Jan-13-18 10:30 AM
Mainly playing in the Kobe 11 and KD 9 which I like a lot. Really don’t need anything new....but I want something new, lol.

13225606, I love the soldier 11's
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 06:17 PM
I was thinking about coppin' those instead (didn't get a pair when they came out). But the 15's are solid.
13225575, how much do you think these will go for if I flipped a pair?
Posted by double negative, Fri Jan-12-18 05:03 PM
13225580, You get them at retail ($250) and the markup is $800+
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:20 PM
Limited run at tier zero stores so gonna command a nice return on resale.
13225595, They going for like $1500 it looks like

the 'tech' seems outdated already
13225579, It's probably on the way
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:19 PM
This is likely the beta. If they stand up, more apps will be implemented likely (gps, step tracking, hd for music storage, accompanying bluetooth head phones to play the music from your shoes, etc.)

Wait for it...
13225925, Yeah she says in the video that this is the "baby step"
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon Jan-15-18 12:20 PM

13225578, I'd love to get a pair...at retail lol
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:16 PM
Actually 2-3 pair. I'd flip 2. They going for $8-900 on resale.
13225581, yeah, the jacket is dope but I don't HAVE to have it...
Posted by Dstl1, Fri Jan-12-18 05:21 PM
I want them 4's, though...bad. I don't know if I'm gonna jump off the ledge or not. They're on Ebay already for 7hundo and up. I hate this game, lol.
13225587, lol...me too and I'm not even a sneaker head
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:36 PM
But we just blew out our closet and put in a new closet system. And I got cubbie holes now for the kicks. I've got 10 filled with 6 to go so I'm plotting!

I was looking a few upscale sneaks but decided against dropping that bread...but MAN, it is tempting. The Levi 4's lead me down this whole rabbit hole. smh
13225929, I'm thinking about trying to flip these
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jan-15-18 12:33 PM
my boy put me up on them and there is a store 10 minutes from my house. Not sure what that line will look like but if it's reasonable I may tough it out.

I didn't know it was this serious.
13225982, Do it fam...easy money
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Jan-15-18 02:57 PM
I'd have to trek to a few select spots in the city AND skip out on work.

No thanks.

Could order them online but those that got the plug want $800+.

Nope.

At least I can respect the 'smart shoes' as they have featured tech that explains the price point and are $720 off top. Paying $800 for something that retails just north of $200 (and isn't concert or sporting event tickets)...not feeling it. Too many other options out.

Hype beast want these and I get the allure, I'd love to have a pair of kicks that most people around me haven't seen and can't get but if I'm gonna drop serious bread on shoes, they gonna be some designer hard bottoms.

I might splurg just once on sneakers but even then, there's a LOT of high end competition (that are frankly, more fashionably versatile) so Levi 4's wouldn't be top of the list but rather in the mix.
13225995, I kept hearing about this but never gave a shit
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jan-15-18 03:25 PM
but I need to make some quick cash and if I can do a half day and make a weeks pay in the process why not?

I would never spend more than $80 on some sneakers these days but I will flip the fuck out of these for some extra bread.

It all depends on the line tho. most I can do is 4 hours in line before they open.
13226018, Yeah, that's the risk
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Jan-15-18 04:07 PM
If I showed up a half our before open and it's 300 people outside already, I'd be pissed. lol
13226023, you definitely have to have the stomach for it...
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-15-18 04:13 PM
and some free time. I'm lazy. If I can't do it from my couch, fuck it. I got lucky as shit that night of Kobe's retirement joint when Nike.com dropped them Mamba AF1s. I'm sitting on em for a minute, but the more I look at them, I want to keep em.
13225589, there’s maybe 5 shoes that I’d even pay $200 for
Posted by DJR, Fri Jan-12-18 05:39 PM
and some robot shoes are not one of them. So $720??...lol. I might go for the Black Cement 3’s when they come out. That’s all that’s on my radar right now.
13225594, But the shoe ties it's own laces fam! lmao
Posted by auragin_boi, Fri Jan-12-18 05:45 PM
I feel you. The only appeal to buying them is that a lot of people won't have them at that price point. I'm not that much of a hype beast.
13225923, lol no way in shit
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jan-15-18 12:13 PM
total novelty and not very appealing visually. for $720 i could get a lot more shoe(s) for the cash
13225927, Nike like "BBB can't compete as far as $1000 shoes go"
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Mon Jan-15-18 12:29 PM
People always say stuff like "for THAT much,
the shoe better lace itself." Nike gotchu.
Who's gonna buy a $500-$1000 Z02 when they
can get something like this? Well aside from
negros who have the money to blow and who
also consider supporting BBB a revolutionary
act lol.
On another note this is interesting, because
tax reform 'bout to hit like a bomb as the
Black middle class becomes pretty much non-
existent, and the prices of top-of-the-line
stuff like iphones and Nikes are hitting the
$1000 mark. More and more ppl are being priced
right on out.
13225928, If you didn't know better, you would walk right past these at Ross
Posted by sectachrome86, Mon Jan-15-18 12:33 PM
lol $750

It's been a minute since I saw any new Nike model I wanted to spend money on. Adidas is killing them.
13225932, these shoes aside, Nike got mad joints in all areas...
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-15-18 12:45 PM
that are very easy on the eyes and worth copping. I'm not challenging you, but I'd personally love to see the hard numbers that Adidas is killing Nike. Shit, I feel like Nike is still killing everyone with just retro J's, alone.
13225947, Show me
Posted by sectachrome86, Mon Jan-15-18 01:29 PM
I'm not saying you're wrong, I want you to be right. Its just been a while since I saw anything that tripped my trigger. Especially anything that isn't extremely limited and relatively easy to find and buy.
13225952, what do you like, though...
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-15-18 01:40 PM
it may very well be you don't find any of it good-looking. You like hoop shoes, "lifestyle" joints?
13225979, I always laugh when people make it a competition
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Jan-15-18 02:48 PM
Just buy what you like. Nike has some good stuff. Adidas does too.

I just prefer Nike (especially for hooping, Adidas is wack in that department to me, design wise and durability wise).

These vs these:

https://tinyurl.com/y8mlnrfj vs https://tinyurl.com/ybm43kcv

That's L all day for Adidas. Sorry, I'm not a fan Kanye's sock-sand-mad-max mesh ups. *shrug*

These vs these:

https://tinyurl.com/y7ubaump vs https://tinyurl.com/ybxsm6t7

Adidas has a STRONG case.

But killing Nike? Eh. I think there's +/- to both.
13225981, and I wasn't trying to make a big deal about it...
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-15-18 02:57 PM
but, I just have a hard time believing Adidas is killing Nike. Nike/Jordan released like 6 shoes this morning at 9am. The Jordan Westbrook Why Not and like 5 Black History Month versions of shoes. Russ' new signature joints (yes, I caught a pair), Kyrie 4 BHM, Melo Equality AJ1 BHM all sold out in under 10 minutes. Bron 15 BHM and KD BHM joints didn't. I got an email from Finish Line that they got more pairs of AJ11 Win like 82 and Win Like 96 and are releasing them tonight at 8. Them joints gonna get vaporized, lol. Besides Yeezies and maybe Boosts/NMDs...is Adidas doing it like that?
13225990, Nope...they aren't
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Jan-15-18 03:10 PM
which is the thing...it's just that everybody feels like they gotta pick a team.

Nike is slipping but it's not because of Adidas or UA. It's just the saturation of the sneaker market in general. All the high end designer brands have fashion sneakers out now.

Gucci, LV, Red bottoms, Saint Laurent, Ferragamo etc are now considered plausible options (rappers and urban marketing has probably helped usher this in).

13226013, Forgot Russ’s sig came out already
Posted by DJR, Mon Jan-15-18 04:00 PM
I don’t want that pair, there’s too much going on there for me. But I’m going
to at least try those on once more colorways drop.
13226020, I like it. you right though, it's not for everybody...
Posted by Dstl1, Mon Jan-15-18 04:10 PM
I like the fact that it doesn't have laces...just the AJ6 toggle.
13225983, Runners, lifestyle/sportswear stuff
Posted by sectachrome86, Mon Jan-15-18 02:58 PM
It seems like Nike relies heavily on retros for this stuff. Not bad, just kinda stale. Adidas has put out new designs that do a good job of looking modern/fashionable without being overly technical. Of course both brands put out their fair share of garbage. It's not a competition, but I've just personally found myself going from Nike everything to Adidas everything. I'm sure Nike is still the king by far in terms of sales.
13225992, British Knights and LA Gear for life for me!

13226218, I don't think Adidas is killing them, they are a one-trick pony
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Tue Jan-16-18 12:06 PM
The Yeezy hype is dying fast and the Boost hype is too. They haven't yet effectively integrated Boost into basketball models and the PureBoost and Ultra Boost have been done to death. The mid-top models have gotten no traction. I like that they are bringing back Feet You Wear but it won't pop. They moved on quickly from certain tech like FYW and Formotion that they should have kept. They have a lot of high price-tag models from Simmons, Wang, et al that seem to just exist to exist, few are produced and fewer are sold. They are also ugly as fuck.

Nike I think was wayward for a while but they have had some decent models lately. The VaporMax isn't my favorite but it's been a success and aesthetically I would take it over the Boost stuff, especially the majority that have a stryo-foam white Boost unit. The LeBron 15 is a very innovative shoe and most of the performance-oriented Jordans have looked good and been great for hoops (xx8 an all-time great performer). The KD line has found its footing and the Kyrie 3 was a very sharp-looking shoe. The Off-White collab I thought was hotter than any of Adidas's designer or rapper-inspired stuff.

Adidas has made a nice push from obscurity to the center but Nike still dominates the market. People were hyping Under Armour as the next big thing not long ago but they made a number of missteps and now they are back in the periphery. Adidas is a stronger name but in footwear they have had some real shit years until recently and could easily get back to that level if they don't keep pushing forward with new marketing and innovative tech.
13226584, ultraboost so damn comfy at this point they could just
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Wed Jan-17-18 02:43 PM

Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Mar-07-18 07:44 PM
if you can get a pair of those beckham accelerator UBs they did, DO IT. kangur or some type of other synthentic laid over the primeknit, nice low-pro sock collar on the ankle. it's a UB model with some substance in the upper and a very thoughtful design. i think they look good, too.
13226529, Adidas isnt killing them at all. they might have more growth
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Jan-17-18 01:23 PM
but it's hard to improve on dominance.
adidas is growing from being in the gutter to just being able to peek out of it from a footwear marketshare standpoint
13240830, exactly, at various points they could have gone the fila or rbk route
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Mar-07-18 07:42 PM
adidas has flirted with obscurity many times. glad to see them on track now and i wear a lot of their shit, but they are still way in the periphery vis-a-vis the swoosh. i also think boost has sort of limited them, it is good tech but not across the board. before they used to introduce and abandon techs too quickly, now it's like they don't even bother with anything else. if not for dame bounce would be nothing, really.

13226224, more than likely you can only cop one pair tho..
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Jan-16-18 12:16 PM
but that's still a nice little chunk of change.

13226227, so, say that's the case. You cop one pair at $220 plus tax...
Posted by Dstl1, Tue Jan-16-18 12:27 PM
they're on Ebay right now for as low as $700. Is all that worth it for less than $500 profit?

Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Jan-16-18 04:41 PM
Let's say someone makes make $20/hour ($20 x 8 = $160).

400 is half weeks pay so I think it would be to some people.

Well they do limit what you can buy online. At the store I'm assuming it's the same. Maybe have to get back in line to get another pair.

Rate my final cubbie hole collection. I'm really interested in a few opinions (DSTL, Legs, Charlie, hardware...let me know what you think) but anyone else feel free to chime in.

So we revamped the closet, ate some unused storage space to expand it. Bought a new closet system. I got a wall, she got the rest lol. But I got cubbies as a consequence. So I had 16 slots to fill and all but 1 got new shoes (I'm not buying anything for a year and a half lmao).

I passed on them because I knew I was gonna cop the Golden Wheat 13's and I bought like 4 different pairs of 6's this year. Good lookin on those Trunners...I got read and black. If you peeped the Boots post, I went ham on Nike Duck boots, not too long ago. I'm off that narcotic (c). I L-O-V-E them Ted Bakers...Imma have to bite you, fam. Strong collection, bro.

I just said above I passed on the wheat 13's for almost the same reason.

>Good lookin on those Trunners...I got read and black.

I saw this dude who did some paint work for me wearing a pair. Had to jack his swag. Sorry, not sorry. lol

>If you peeped the Boots post, I went ham on Nike Duck boots,
>not too long ago. I'm off that narcotic (c).

I only got one pair and they seem like they are a perfect winter shoe. I'm in the Chi so they getting burn right now. Prolly won't wear them this summer and they'll resurface in the fall. There's a few different colorways that I saw that had me 'hmmmm'-ing but I passed.

>I L-O-V-E them Ted Bakers...Imma have to bite you, fam.

I ain't mad at ya! I liked the look but the green heel on the sole sealed the deal for me. I like the faint green accents all over the shoe.

>Strong collection,
>bro.

'preciate it fam. No comment on the designers? The Badgley Mischka's and Magnanni's got me not wanting to choose. The Nayon Ferragomos are a consolation as I couldn't find the Black Coffees but I might actually like the other two better. If you had to pick between the 5 (and price isn't a concern) how you rollin'?

13226605, dem 'Gamos, without question...
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Jan-17-18 03:07 PM
that dope, but not too "look at me, I'm wearing Feragamos" What's the tag on them boys?
13226608, About $400 now.
Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Jan-17-18 03:17 PM
When they first dropped, might have been about $600. The new seasons run $5-700.

Edit - and yeah, that's what I'm going for with the designers. I didn't want anything too flashy but versatile and high end.

Yeah...they are the cherry on top.

I'll probably never do it again (or maybe once every 3 yrs hahaha).

But that's nothing. I copped the wife some red bottoms for xmas 2016. That pair covered about half of my cubbies.

So out of curiosity, I went to look at the men's sneaks and was like...

13240833, How do you like the HD2017? Seems to be polarizing
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Mar-07-18 07:48 PM
Some people love it and swear by it, others hate it.

I tried it on and it seemed too stiff for me but had some other redeeming qualities. I will probably get a pair dirt cheap like all the other HD models.

I like your assortment, those Trunner LX are underrated. If they put more hype behind them they could have been a big thing. Overall the mix isn't really my style personally but I can appreciate the consistency in aesthetics and what you're shooting for with a lot of neutral colors, classic designs and stuff that isn't overly played out. I like those all-star AJ1s and I am surprised they have sat. I am a big fan of full-grain leather and wish Nike would use it more often. It was great on the white/navy/silver 1+ and it is pretty nice here as well, my only gripe is the out-of-nowhere blue sole
13240912, I can see both arguments
Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Mar-08-18 10:46 AM
I haven't hooped in them yet. That'll be the tell-tale but they are a bit narrow. I did notice that. I think they loosen once you get active in them. But just in case, I got a pair of LeBron soldier 11's so I can at least have a back up.

What's funny is, the list I posted changed drastically shortly afterward. My birthday was 10 days after this post and the wife told me to hold off on getting my kicks as she had something planned. The cubbies look alot different than what I posted, though some of them did make it to a slot.

>I like your assortment, those Trunner LX are underrated. If
>they put more hype behind them they could have been a big
>thing.

I ended up with the low version of the ones I posted. But I recently spent some extended time in those and I LOVE them. Was considering a second pair.

These:

I laughed at how I didn't take much risk with the colors. The final allotment was even worse so I'm going to actively add a little more color when I start replacing pairs. But I like all the designs. I try to pick what I like and what I think looks good on me rather than what's hot. Hell played out just means it'll be a throwback eventually lol.

Also, what's your style CC? Feel free to share bruh.

I like those all-star AJ1s

I agree but I kinda dig the blue sole. I think it keeps the bottom from looking less 'dirty' after wear.

Posted by DJR, Sat Feb-17-18 06:19 PM
Would’ve paid retail for them. I refuse to pay above retail to resellers for them. So I’m out.

For about 2 years I could cop any Jordan I wanted and everything was going smooth until those hypebeast trendhopping yeezy dickriders had to run their hoe ass mouths on their little YouTube videos about J’s being over because they were too easy to get and not “limited” enough.

Yes I’m mad. I’ll try for the Taxi 12’s next month instead, if the rumors are true.
13235403, lol...I knew them jawns would go with the quicks...
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Feb-18-18 08:49 AM
I was messin around on the SNKRS app while I was waiting to go in to see Black Panther, yesterday morning. Them shits was sold out before the previews ended. I kinda feel both ways. Nike, been flooding the block the last few years with a grillion useless colorways of every Jordan. Shit was annoying. Even semi-iconic shit was sitting on shelves. True Blue 3s making to outlet stores and shit. I read an article where they admitted as much...said they were gonna start making joints a little more exclusive this year. I'm ok with it. Shit, I remember we had to wait in line at the mall for the Foot Locker/Athlete's Foot/Champs/Finish Line worker to let up the gate...that shit was fun. I'm down with just hopping on the computer or my phone and grabbing pair with no friction, but I'm ok with it being a little hectic every now and then. When I copped them Kobe Mamba AF1's on the night of his jersey retirement, I just knew I had gotten fucked, because the site wouldn't let me put them in my cart on my laptop. I was able to get in on my phone and cop, then the whole site went bonkers. That was kinda fun. Same thing happened with the Mirror Image Westbrooks when they dropped on MLK day...but, I got em.
13235406, they can cut way down on the amount of colorways they release
Posted by DJR, Sun Feb-18-18 09:09 AM
But when they drop one of the classics that they know is going to sell, make enough! I was on SNKRS at 10 AM on the dot and didn’t get them. Ridiculous.

I got the white cement 4’s 2 years ago, no problem. I was hoping these would’ve been the same way. If I strike out on the taxi 12’s, I’m going to be tight.
13235526, Shit sold out in what 10 - 15 minutes?
Posted by Boogiedwn, Mon Feb-19-18 08:24 AM
I missed out on the red 11's back in December but was lucky enough to get these somehow.
13235600, See I don't need them 'day 1' all the time
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Feb-19-18 12:53 PM
you can find the red 11's right now and for reasonable (for J's) prices.

but joints like the black and blue Levi denims...you not gonna get them cheap no time soon. I wanted the blue ones, I WANT the black ones.

I think I'm just reserved to ride out the year with what I have though. Like I said earlier, those Black Denim 4's are the only ones I'm going ape over later this year. Might be my father's day gift if I can snag them retail (Kixify already got 'em on pre-order for $700 and they don't drop until June).

But if not, I found a few nice options on Stadium Goods that I missed out on:

The trophy room joints:

Yeah I saw that - 6 hours too late though lol

I got the 82's when they came out, I blame not getting the 96's on my wife. She was trying to explain something to me while it was like 9:58 am and I'm half paying attention while waiting for 10 am on the app. Had them in my cart and missed my fingerprint thing on my phone a couple of times. Went from pending to NAW man you ain't getting these.

I liked the look of the black/olive ones but those are sitting like bricks so I'll wait on those and the OG altitude makeup, too. JB has sucked all the life out of the 13 but some of the colors are nice. AJ12 and AJ13 will always have a place in my heart
13240840, yep, I'll probably come back around and grab some at some point...

You right as shit on those black and olive 13's...shit was a horrible idea from the go. Especially, when most Jordan heads held the black and olive 9's as the holy grail of that colorway.
13240846, I kinda want the Air Max 93, Air Max 180, and the Bo Jacksons
Posted by DJR, Wed Mar-07-18 09:07 PM
that all just came out.

Not sure I want to pay $130 for any of them though. I feel like they might end up discounted eventually? If I miss out, I won’t really care. Really do like all 3 shoes though, wish Air Max 93’s would come out more often. I like them a lot more than the much more hyped 95’s or the 98’s they’ve been pushing.
