2. "no brainer, i think all these new 13s are pretty weak" In response to Reply # 1 Wed Jan-21-15 07:34 PM by ConcreteCharlie
the squadron blue ones were pretty decent, looked nice with jeans and shit. that was a while ago though.
barons, the ones with the ugly ass reflective toe, black/black/red, etc, ugh, nasty azz shyt.
i just sold some 2010 flints and some OGs, I still have the ones from 04 or whenever (two pairs). love that colorway. i got all the OG colorways, squadron blue was the only "plus" colorway i bought and i have yet to wear them.
i guess i will get the white/navy IVs, see how good the "remastered" quality is. i refuse to get the black/gray ones, i always thought those were fugly.
i saw they are coming out with a bunch of lows and shit. look pretty trashy to me. the black/silver 6 was OK but i wouldn't re-retro it. the other 6s are hot ass garbage, seahawks and whatever. xiii low is a nice looking shoe but i am not nuts about the colorways. i have the two OG colors and then a women's one that is white/unc blue/pink. i find them to be kind of awkward to wear though, i dunno, that shoe didn't lend itself well to a low in terms of comfort IMO.

4. "I think V and IX were both decent lows" In response to Reply # 3
I was skeptical of the V low but I actually liked it a lot. I think I have some big womens pairs of those sitting around somewhere. The IX was the low that felt the best to me, pretty comfortable. XI, I loved the white/red ones from 01-02.

15. "The Curry 1 is coming out soon, wait and see." In response to Reply # 5
The price on those Clutchfits is already starting to plummet unless you are very particular about what colorway you want.
The Curry 1 is out in February. Looks like they are debuting a whole new tooling/cushioning setup for it, as well as a new upper material (neither ClutchFit nor CompFit).
I kind of want to try out the Lillard or Wall Adidas but I will wait for those and the D Rose 5 to make their way to outlets and closeouts first. Not itching to pay $100+ for some shit destined for the sale rack.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
sport royal 3's. kumquat/hot lava/clay blue agassi 2, wheat timbs lol.
all i gotta say is its hard being a fiend when you bank 80% of your pay and leave only 20% for drugs and nourishment.
i want to double up on the cookies and cream IV and the all white Vs coming out soon.
anyone wear those Filling Pieces "luxury" sneaks? i think they look fresh as hell but 200 is steep for something i can't find in a store physically. leather looks multiple fire emojis
pretty good buy and yeah those are the ones. i got em and switched out the laces. $28 at a ross. they were $40 to start, i bought a few other sizes to sell too (went out around $100).
>i saw the OG mowabb is coming back. thats going to be >interesting.
yeah i will probably get a pair. i didnt get any of this most recent run of huaraches but i am sure i will buy a few on the cheap in time.
>you think those Curry 1's are coming back out? those are >crazy.(DISREGARD THIS ENTIRELY I THOUGHT YOU MEANT AM1's)
haha, yeah nah i meant the steph curry 1. i had those curry colored air max, shits went pretty hard. i also liked the linen pack 1s and 90s. those should come back. right now i am not feeling what they are doing with old air maxes at all.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
57. "yeah they run kinda tight with that inner sleeve b/w ross shit" In response to Reply # 34
i definitely go up half a size in huaraches because of the bootie or whatever inside.
i live near many, many rosses. in so cal they are everywhere. if they have good stuff in stock, sometimes i will go to eight or ten of them in a day to look for shit. of course the overwhelming majority of their stock is crap but if you sift through it, you find gems. the shoes are easy to spot. they also have a lot of good deals on women's clothes. i got my girlfriend a $500 Ralph Lauren leather jacket for $60 there recently.

23. "get the 2008 (2007?) version of the flight lite for sure" In response to Reply # 10
this reissue was really shitty
i had the black/white nubuck and white men can't jump ones from the first go-round, better quality. i shoulda got the pippen ones, too. they will all be the same price, you will just have to look harder for the older ones.
those air max lights are pretty clean. i never really like the dark color AM1s or 90s because they look funny with the white midsole.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
they still make 1's in bunches, 90s, 93(those are floating around under retail), 95s, and they dropped 98s this year no one fucked with them I'm hoping to find a pair for cheap. nostalgia purposes.
25. "they release the fuck outta old air maxes." In response to Reply # 19
on that tip i just copped not one, not two but three pairs of OG air max 95s. streak yellow, safety orange and hyper blue. so pumped. i need an obsidian/lightening pair in my life though.
i dont buy the new 95s, they feel weird to me. i hate this shit with the small air bubbles. you can find the new colors super cheap though. i saw the solid wolf grey ones for $60 at foot locker, londons for $50 at the outlet, etc.
i dunno i think the new stuff has weird colors and some of the shoes are reaches but that was always true. overall the performance is good and after years of leaning too heavily on retros, companies are putting money and manpower behind new ideas.

I treat this model like most folks treat AF1s (i would never put a pair of Nike's on my feet....not for any political reasons...just because i don't want to wear what EVERYONE else wears...im mad hipsterish in that way)
anyway - this is the latest iteration thats in the mail to me right now

if you scour ebay you can find good deals on OG colors. i bought the OG playoffs worn twice (very clean) for $165, less than retail on a new pair. just the DS stuff goes for premiums and even then deals can be had.

31. "maaan dont get me started on the current jordan prices" In response to Reply # 28

37. "the quality upsets me way more than the price" In response to Reply # 31
i think about it and if i was paying $150 in 1997, paying $185 today seems very reasonable. i wish other shit increased in price at that same rate.
but i want to get what i am fucking buying. at least they are moving in the right direction with this "remastered" stuff, but i'm upset that we have had at least five years of mostly shit quality retros waiting for it to happen.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
This is Steph Curry's actual signature shoe now, he wore these on MLK Day. Kinda basic in this colorway (plus annoying white sole) but I am eager to get a pair in one color or another on release day:
47. "you cant go wrong there, such a classic" In response to Reply # 45 Fri Jan-23-15 12:35 PM by ConcreteCharlie
although i think the federer x AJ3s are kind of lame. remind me of the xix low, but lamer.
X was an underrated shoe, maybe the most comfortable jordan that came out during his career. i liked the feel of the IXs a lot, too, but the toe material sucked. X was a nice, sturdy shoe with good movement and cushioning. I liked the ones that came out in the mid 2000s, ice blue, white/red/steel and white/linen.

46. "Sold one pair of XX3s ... paid for three more" In response to Reply # 0
I sold my Motorsport XX3s to a guy in Canada, turned around and sunk the money into two black/stealth pairs and white/gray pair. XX3 is such a distinct shoe, it feels kind of odd but the materials are awesome and it stands alone in terms of having a distinct appearance IMO.
What I need now is a red suede (and possibly a gray suede) pair of XX1s. The leather ones are out there for reasonable prices, but for some reason the suede ones are either really expensive or have the uppers trashed.

and yeah i am like that, too, a lot of times i will see some vintage shit being sold above what it would go for on auction but i'm like fuck it, it isn't like there are ten pairs to choose from.

54. "I liked the 2012, XX8 and XX9 but in different ways/Not sure on Barkley" In response to Reply # 53
I have to really check the Barkleys out because obviously with a shoe that age there could be all sorts of potential issues. You wear them once and the whole sole falls off lol. But outside of the foggy bubbles, they seem good to go. I have not decided yet but man the quality kicks the ass of the retros hoard.
Jordan 2012 was a cool shoe, I liked that you could change up the inner sleeves from pair to pair and the Year of the Dragon ones were real fresh. XX8 has some dud colorways but also some real cool ones and it was a great basketball shoe. XX9 is even better in a lot of ways, love the uppers although I'm disappointed in the colorways overall.
I think those three models really established the Air Jordan as a performance shoe now, so it's hard to evaluate these models against the 13 (or 14) he wore while playing with the Bulls.

3s (wolf grey), infrared 6s (Christmas present. My girl did good), oreo jordan futures and bo jacksons. sent Jordan crazy lol. Almost copped some Adidas ZX Flux...still might

Been looking at these for a minute, but always had something else to do moneywise (and needed to keep a 13 year old in shoes for school). They went on sale before the end of the year and I picked up a pair. If the black/red ones go on sale soon, I'll cop a pair of those too.

For some reason the beautiful hyper blue version has essentially disappeared from the internet. This blue spark version is closer, the blue is a little more intense on mine and the toe is charcoal, not black:
65. "Copped some Diadoras" In response to Reply # 0
I wanna get those N9000 Italy joints later this month. In the meantime I got these, price was right and I like the funk factor. Havent worn any yet. Only other Diadoras I have are a pair of white/blue Borgs with the kangaroo leather
First these were worn by Tim Hardaway, David Robinson and shitloads of other guys (especially popular as an NCAA team shoe, too). I have a couple pairs (black/silver, black/white/red) and thought maybe I could squeeze into these. No:
