dope.

i’ll post pics of my pickups tomorrow or so. i’m kinda feeling lazy today.

I am a sneakerhead and all but I don’t understand how people rock these dumbass hoodies with horrible patterns or random abstract shapes that vaguely resemble a dinosaur or your favorite seasame street character.

How the fuck do people wear clothes that looks like a kaleidoscope threw up on them?

Cool.

Looking forward to see what you got. Was contemplating about flipping the Kobed on Sunday, but I think I will hold onto them for now. I think these colorways are gonna be the keeper, kind of like the South Beach is for the LeBron 8.

And not sure why, but the color gradation reminds me of the Lobster Dunks for whatever reason (if there ever was a ‘green lobster’).

You mean like… old Bape (and bunch of fakes that came after)? People dressed like that up to like, 2007.

sup guys it’s been a long time. i had been actively not buying shoes but that shit ain’t work lol here’s what i copped this month.

takashi 2’s one of the gold box releases i missed, these came in the mail yesterday :woot:

Not really 2007. Look at the last couple of images with hoodies. Even then when you go to the trendy stores in the mall they all have bright hoodies thats generally associated to a cartoon character and usually has bright ugly patterns.

These hipsters are too cool for school or after school programs.

Hopefully this is the best place to ask. How do you guys keep white shoes clean? I just got some white canvas shoes and I’m considering buying some Scotchgard to spray them down with. Anyone use this or something similar?

How to Waterproof Canvas Shoes | eHow.com i’ve never actually used anything on canvas shoes, so on this google is your friend. i usually spray my suede shoes though

Hey you guys ever have a pair of basketball shoes that squeaks after a while? I have had nike/jordans do that on me and it is hella annoying. Sorry but I figured this may be a good thread to ask in.

upset gentleman x adidas

can’t wear em for like 3 months though cause its so damn cold right now.

I see one of my dunks in that pic :stuck_out_tongue:

I got to build up a shoe collection now. But too many to choose from and too little money.

Air Force 1 Supreme - Year of the Rabbit

The most expensive pair of Nike kicks ($250 retail) I’ve bought in a while. It was a lot of trouble getting myself a pair, too, even with my usual hookup. Not 100% sure if it was worth it, but it’s definitely a unique-looking shoe and I plan to keep it in the vault for a long time.

Zoom KD III - All Star

The best KD III colorway to date for sure. The icy red outsoles and all the reflective materials used on this shoe are beautiful. Can’t be beaten for a price tag of just $93 too.

LeBron 8 V2 - All Star

These, just like the KD III, features good amount of reflective materials throughout. But the best part in my opinion is the holographic tongue in which the King James logo and the East logo flicker and intertwine at different angles of light.

Definitely my second favorite colorway of the LeBron 8 after the South Beach so far, and looking forward to getting my hands on the Entourage colorway in two weeks.

I really like the first ones
Didn’t know there was a shoe thread, guess I’ll post my sorta new SB’s.

The Year of the Rabbit Air Force Ones look a lot hotter than I thought they would. Nice.

My newest three or so pairs span 2-3 years, haha. I don’t consider myself a sneakerhead, but I like nice kicks.

I always tried to not be one of those people that keeps his shoes in the box, but I really can’t help myself with those last two.

The White Pigeons are siiiick. I’ve been on look out for those as well as the Pink Pigeons for a while, but never manage to see my size in deadstock under $300. :confused:

And damn, how did you manage to get the DeLorean Dunks? I probably wouldn’t wear those either, but the novelty appeal is incredible. The outsole and the box are the best parts imo.
