^ That pic was from a while back; I originally started out with three pairs. I’m currently wearing one, gave one to my friend, and now I’m trying to sell my last pair. I planned on keeping the last one, but I guess that aint happening.
I don’t wear boots. They’re not exactly comfortable on my feet.
So wait… what can you spend it on!? Good information to know.
That’s a shame. Sucha sexy shoe. Good luck with the sale.
^i dont mess with any of those kicks nowadays anyways so i’m fine. and you cant use them on blazers either. i used it on my pennys, and air max 90s and soon the pipens.
im fiendin for more disc blazes!
**I still want them shoes, cat-daddy.
I haven’t bought any shoes in a while like a nigga with a in-grown toenail. It sucks, but I got other priorities at the moment. And to think, I could’ve been 2 pair away from having 1 of each Air Jordan by now if I didn’t skip the last 3 countdown packs. Oh well…**
It worked on Pennys? I don’t really understand what they meant by retros then… Maybe Jordan Retro 1’s? But if that was the case, they coulda just said ‘all Jordans’ and stopped there. Then again, it doesn’t work on Blazers or Air Forces either.
In my opinion, putting restriction of any kind is whack. Especially since nothing of that nature was mentioned on the coupons.
I bought McSkillet Burritos just to get those, lol.
no jordan retros is what they meant
Black/red Is are trash too, as are the rest of the CDPs this year. JB can’t do anything right these days, but my wallet and I don’t mind. The rest of Nike >>>>>>> JB by far, now and in the future.
How are the Retro 1 Premiere pack coming out next month trash at all? Both the red and the ‘laser’ are sexy as hell.
I’m not a big fan of Jordans personally, but Nike’s been right on target with the Retro 1 releases this year in my opinion. Father’s Day, Olympics 2008, Original Velcro… Those were all very good looking shoes.
Is that a serious question? Let’s get this straight. DS and I are not talking about those Laser Premier Limited Hypebeast McTacky shoes, even though those shits are ugly, plain and simple. We’re talking about the black/red 1s with the strap coming out on the 22nd. Then again, both of them damage the legacy of the AJ1 even more. That model has become a big joke these past few years with JB whoring it out like it’s a Dunk, and I don’t know what’s more sad. The fact that JB does it for the sake of greed, or because blind people with no good taste in anything at all eat it up, which encourages JB to do it.
Nike Sportswear is the true beasting form of Nike this year. I’m just making one or two exceptions because I don’t want to destroy my Air Pegasus 83s in the snow. Those shoes are reserved for the summer.
the 14 “last shots” were the last jordan retro i bought. that tells you something
Fuck that, dude. I’m rocking my coffee stained infrared 90s in the snow this year.
To me, it sounds like you’re just out of the game and can’t appreciate any shoes that do not fit the narrow mold of what looks ‘good’ to you.
I have appreciation for wide range of shoes, let it be Nike, Puma, Creative Recs, New Balance, Vans, etc. and many more. There are always plenty of shoes out there that I find interesting and I think it’s nice to see what people on SRK have been getting (which is the point of this thread). Sure, I have my opinions and dislikes for certain shoes. I personally find all these mid-late 90’s basketball re-releases as rather mundane and pointless… but I’m not going to run my mouth around saying Penny II are trash every time somebody posts a picture of it.
Also, how did the ‘legacy’ of Jordan 1 supposedly become trash in the past few years? When Nike re-released the Retro 1 in 1994, nobody bought them. The model only became alive again after patent leather versions were released in 2001. So are you gonna argue that the people in the mid-90’s were idiots that didn’t understand the ‘legacy’ of Jordans? The exact same people that were buying the Griffeys and Pennys (which you repeatedly pander as some kind of godly shoes in this thread) soon after? If you’re gonna try to push empty rhetorics, at least make sure that the argument itself makes sense first.
The point of this thread is to let people showcase what they got, and comment/critique on them. But there is obviously something wrong when you think 99% of what is out are ‘trash’ or ‘shit.’
Perhaps you’re right, and 99% of SRK have they’re heads in the gutter. If that’s the case, I think you’re better off making a thread of your own called “Check Out My New Penny/Pippen/Foamposite/Griffey.”
the current jordan brand :shake:
six rings :shake:
lol, first off, this is not a game. This sneaker game shit is the lamest thing ever.
My taste is narrow? Where the hell have you been, man? 90% of the shit posted in the past ten pages are Dunks. I’ve posted Dunks, basketball retros, and runners, which you think are mundane and pointless, but yet you love Dunks, and other generic shit like Vans that are the same basic shoe but come in different and most times tacky colors.
How did the legacy of the AJ1 become trash? You’re asking that question and you’re the one who says I’m out of this “game”? Let’s go down the laundry list then:
1 - Changing the cut from hightops to mids until late this year. I’m sure you didn’t know about this.
2 - Slapping a Jumpman on the back when there shouldn’t be a Jumpman at all just because they can. Shit, the Jumpman logo didn’t even appear on Jordans until the IIIs.
3 - Horrendous quality on the shoes. All the recent Is are made with pleather.
4 - Overcharging the consumer for an inferior product. Quality went down, but prices went up? Inflation and recession are one thing, but to charge $100-$110 for a shoe with minimal cushioning and no technology in it, which was $80 in 2001 is a ripoff, plain and simple.
5 - Tacky colorways. Have you seen the Alpha and Omega package? The XQ China editions? The JB x Levis 1s? Father’s Day 1s? West Side Lows? The Sport Red LS? This was all this year, too.
6 - Constant whoring out of the shoe. How many 1s have come out since 2007? My estimate is about 70, counting lows. And 1s with velcro straps? If that’s not whoring out a signature model, I don’t know what is.
Now you mention that nobody bought the retros in 1994 and 2001. Good to see that you know something, but the market back then was a lot different than it is now. Why? Because being in to the “sneaker game” is what all the cool kids do now because the more shoes you have, the more ballin’ you look. Jordans are sadly a status symbol now, too. This is the fault of the media, the kids who like to follow trends, and JB themseves for catering to them. JB used to be a brand that set the standard and did their own thing, but they became stale and started following trends.
As to why nobody bought them before, there are a couple of reasons. First of all, there were too many instant classics around at the time, like the Griffeys, Pennys, Air Maxes, etc. The 90s was the golden age of sneakers, and most people only bought one or two new pairs a year, so why would anyone outside of diehard Jordan fans buy retros, which featured outdated technology? The second reason was because Jordan’s popularity was actually on a decline at that time period. The man just retired and was playing baseball for the Birmingham Barons. Not a lot of people cared. Shit, even the almighty XIs didn’t sell well initially when he came back. That is how different the market was back then, but that doesn’t mean that the legacy of the shoes were diminished because legacy does not equal sales. Last time I checked, the 1s and any Jordan in that time period were models that were worn by the greatest of all time. You can’t knock that, no matter what the sales charts say, and it’s funny that those are the Jordan retros that are the most sought after today. Don’t think that I’m throwing out empty rhetoric when you’re the one who actually doesn’t know a damn thing.
And you’re right. There is something wrong when every critique I make in this thread is that something is trash. It’s because everyone in the thread is buying trash because they don’t know any better. And there’s no need to make a new thread about my shit because I won’t post in this abortion of a thread or talk about sneakers in SRK ever again. Supposedly, I’m the one who’s out of touch when everybody else in the thread is dressing like a damn clown.
You know they mean that hypothetically right?
People get what they like. Your “opinions” wont change anything. So please enough with the argument.
And
Let’s start tagging pics people. I know a few here is doing that but lets not pull a Son Them All.
