"Check Out My New Kicks!" the thread

got them for $50 haha

Damn, anyone else see this (from ISS):

Dude went to pick up the pack yesterday in his '99s and walked home like this:

Nice deal Gumz!

See, that pic above is the reason why people should wear their shoes. If they were DS, then that guy was a fool for trying to walk in them. Only buy VNDS if you plan on wearing '99s.

Stuck, I heard that Gentry took another job somewhere in Nike. JB has a new Global Creative Director in Mark Smith, A.K.A. the guy who does the laser etching on shoes, but Gentry was NOT replaced by Smith, since Gentry was Director of Footwear over at JB. While I think a lot of the blame can be placed on him for the downward spiral of Jordan Brand, I would point a finger at MJ himself as well because he ultimately has the power to green light anything that goes on in there.

People slept hard on the Obsidian and Taxi XII lows in 2004, but yes, I want mids of them too, so having Taxis in the CDP is cool with me, but man, the possibilities. I really wanted Concords as the XIs, though.

And please stop saying the term “bred” it’s gay and a really stupid nickname for a shoe. In fact, nicknames in general are gay, like “Raptors” and “playoffs”.

Nike Running will own your soul for the rest of this year and next year. Bet it.

Air Pegasus 83 was the beginning.

Cosignment.

Saying ‘bred’ always bothered me for some reason. ‘Raptors’, ‘Playoffs’, ‘Last Shots’, etc…not so much.

**I don’t even know what that shit means like O.J. Simpson’s understanding of the word “legal”.

Raptors? Bred? Sounds too complicated to me homes. And those IVs were fucked in the game like Charles Barkley’s gambling addiction.**

i always thought bred was an abbreviation of black/red

i could be wrong though but ive never seen that term used for anything that didnt have a black/red colorway

idk

It is short for black/red, but it’s so stupid. That’s like calling anything with fire red in them “freds”. Raptors? The Raptors didn’t even exist when the VIIs came out. Playoffs? Jordan didn’t always wear black sneakers in the playoffs. The nicknames need to stop. Jordans aren’t SBs, so don’t classify them like they are. Classification by model plus colorway should suffice.

my air huarache lows in yellow blue and white should be here any fuckin minute!!! here’s a new lace job to keep you busy:

well those jordans crack really easily so i guess they cracked when he was wearing them

and dope pumas nice choice of colors

Sneakers with polyurethane midsoles are prone to cracking and crumbling if left unworn for years because they don’t get enough moisture from being exposed to air. Don’t use silica gel packs to slow down the yellowing process for clear soles, either. Silica absorbs moisture and dries out the midsoles, making them more susceptible to crumbling.

So how can you prevent your shit from falling apart? Simple: Wear your sneakers. If you have icey soles and want to preserve them without silica packs, store them in a cool, dry place, and avoid getting the soles wet. Keep in mind that clear soles inevitably turn yellow anyway. It’s the natural process of oxidation.

Shoes with rubber midsoles can be kept DS forever and still be wearable, though. Stuff like Air Jordan Is and Dunks, for example.

thats really a shame on how those iv’s turned out cause those are dope imo

My little bro just bought himself a pair of these. They look pretty hot but they cracked me right up. :rofl:

This is a really cool viewer where you can see the shoes from all sides.

Use the link and then click the thumbnail of the shoes on the left hand side.

:rofl:

How do they look in person? I love Reebok and I love Kool Aid but I just couldn’t justify that purchase. Reebok had a couple shirts to match those, but they haven’t been moving just like the shoes.

lol @ at OH YEAH kicks:rofl:

I finally got around to taking the pics/better cam. . some of these ive had for a few months now…I just got the first pair of SBs recently tho::

(my fav pair of girl shoes :lovin: )
