wow i saw this thread and thought ‘wtf i just had a conversation about this at school friday.’ Now i enter and see some dude raging because people expressed an opinion on bright colors everywhere. Im in high school and when i said i didnt like a shoe because of the neon lime green in it. It was all ‘c’mooonn’ and ‘you gotta add some color’ all i said was i do like color just not neon green and for some strange reason no one could get that.
Another thing is the fact I’m like the only person trying to buy New Balances and everyone disagrees with me although they couldn’t tell me what the latest colorway is or the latest collabo.
As for why neon laces on golden yellow/hyper red shoes is a trend i blame rap. NOTE i love rap.
I hate when bkfst_sausage posts. It makes me so hungry for some…breakfast sausages. /sigh
Anyhow, yo, I dont even wear sneakers most of the time. Im not a white boy but I wear sandals like one, well almost. I wear sneakers in the winter. The Wife man, sandals year round for her…but she is white.
Word on that, i miss the days when we had masked tennis (i am not really sure how they were called in english since in spanish was Tenis con Antifaz), i still hope that they put them on the market again

If it was just about the color you could buy chucks, unisex sizing, but no, its status and pricing that they don’t control. $225 maybe plus $50 premium reseller for $275, pink foam(posites). All that money tied up in 1 shoe. Being smarter with that, you could’ve already had classic foams without the new stuff in nothing else left but weird colors to use on the same thing. Copper, per “Penny (Hardaway)” someone suggested with pshop mockups in a topic (and a few hybrids before that came out) was a great idea. Eggplant was fine, used on other foams, shoes: Flightposite. Cranberry, Neon Green, south beach Borat thong neon pink?! c’mon now.
If the trends continue, that will be passed over soon enough too and go down in price and not be able to be pawned off for half its cost, outlet bound, not coveted. Enjoy your pink spaceman clogs while they last. Even Cam’Ron sold his pink range rover because man this is stupid, I can’t do this anymore.
I personally only have a couple shoes I wear daily, and they have been always good pairs of skateboard shoes and black.
I wore dayglo colors once during 2008/09 winter season as part of my snowboard attire, I felt flamboyantly uncomfortable and resorted to all back ninja style with a quickness.

Hell yea they were. I hated going on the ISS forums back in the day. I still wear my dunks since I stopped buying shoes since that hobby just got too expensive. My first sbs were the Hulks. I did buy a used pair of sb dunk low supremes for 200 and did my research to see if they were legit and they were.
Also I remember the LRG Dead Serious hoody when it came out too.
As someone who wears almost exclusively colorful nikes I completely disagree, I wouldn’t wear them to a club but for everyday they’re perfect. just an example of something I wore to class once a week:
Yeah, anyhow, I couldnt fuckin’ wear those rainbow shows Orochizoolander wears. I would just feel silly. But, like ive said, im not really into shit like that. I dont hate though, shit, if he can rock it and thats what he likes, who gives fuck?
Internet Kratos rocking the Keyboard and Mouse of Chaos.
I knew how to make the colorways work with my outfit, but owning more than 3 sneakers at way beyond $100 a pair just to stay fashionable was insane, or I was doing it wrong. So I just said “fuck it I’m old” and quit the kick game.
