Can't be bothered to take a pic of the actual shoes. But here are some more bargains i got from the Nike outlet store : Air Force 1 Sol Cal Air Force 1 Paris Just regular Air Force 1s I'm getting a little bit addicted to these trainers! And each time i go i love the outlet store more and more! appleCORR
hadn't seen this thread b4 but its pretty tight. like all the old school nikes from everyone. and i believe that is the first time i have ever heard someone call air force 1s, trainers..... love your kicks though. rasheed wallace would be proud.
thought i could add a bit to this thread of old schoolness. my favorite jordan's, the 11s. the white/blacks are so classy and they were the ones BoyzIIMen wore with their tuxes at the grammys i believe. i owned the red/blacks and i wish i wouldn't have played so much bball in them; they are ruined now. some of you other nike loyalists, what's your favorite style of jordans? check that link at the bottom for the whole scha-bang. http://www.nicekicks.com/air-jordans/
Dang man I'm over on ebay trying not to cop the blk/wht/reds, just about hold strong then come here and u post that! Damn. They'd be up there, but I'm 8s all day. I waited time for the aquas to retro, and even tho the huge amount of retros and PEs this year had kinda cheapened the mystique for me, still for audacity etc I gotta go hard in 8s! Apps, whats ur fav J Yo, nicekicks confuses me- it was a pedeller of fakes until somehow became a respectable and legit blog seemingly overnight. Then opened a shop that sold collectable tees- took my money and never sent me a tee, would not reply to emails and the link to the shop disappeared. I tried to register so I could try and converse with them on the forums but it wouldn't work, Anyone know ish about this?
personally the xv's in carolina blue are my favs, i had a pair when i was younger, but they're torn up/too small and i've been trying to find a reasonably priced pair for ages but the last pair of j's i bought were a while back, but they're the XIX east coast edition, which i've barely worn since i stopped playing ball for the most part
Yo wrek those 15s were my first ever Js! Tho the pedant in me has to point out that TECHNICALLY thats Columbia Blue....how that differs to carolina, and why they'd ever use it instead I've always wondered! I used to get mad blisters playing in mine, but now I retired em from the court (seeing as I barely play myself now) and just pull em out sans laces every now and then when I wanna look like a genie! the XV retros from this year are technically a better shoe in a way that ruins teh point of the tongue/innersock IMO. Another head hatind on a retro update!
yeah i hadnt really been following j's lately but i did see the xv retros at foot locker last time i went...apart from the material you can't really tell they're related to the xv's in any way and nike officially calls it university blue, and you can only guess to which university they are referring
those 15s are kickin man! and about nicekicks: i dont know too much about them. i just use the site to check out the kicks. when i played bball i bought most of my stuff from footlocker, champs, etc. im mainly an in-store guy. the only mag i bought from was eastbay cuz i had good experiences with customer service. if i only had some more cash id be all over eastbay right now with ya'll. but my adipures i just got going to set me back for a bit. the 8 aquas are classic high-tops and that strap gets me everytime. but since im big on red and black, the playoff version has my heart. some peeps in my circle were really high on the last 23s but to me, they ain't got it. could have done better on the last issue but thats just me. what u all think?
Hmm yea well I disliked all the jordans from the 17 onwards when first saw them, then when they dropped I'd kinda got used to them and now at least appreciate all of them (well mebe bar the XX's)- I copped the black 23s just coz they ain't part of the collezione so figured Id need to get a pair some day and I gotta say when u wear em they look pretty sweetens, more a kick to rock under jeans than a "I have shorts JUST to show my shoes" joint.... I haven't even popped tags on my playoff 8s yet, I'm all about chicolors too so they were a MUST - but it's the 3peat tee that I was getting to match from nicekicks that I never got so now I'm all gutted coz got nowt special to rock em with.... Yea i know there's a general "University Blue" but the boxes tend to have Columbia Blue on some...incidentally I just peeped the box for those 15s and they're listed as White/Columbia Blue/BLK, when the only black on them is the jumpman under the tongue!
I picked up a pair of Air Max 90s today but don't like the way they feel at all. I'm bummed. back they go! Also grabbed a pair of V3.08 Salas as a casual shoe, comfy as all hell and if a soccer game breaks out I'm set.
well i rock the following mine are getting a bit messed up now, but ive worn them like every day for 15 months, incredible shoe! sorta suedey so unlike the white gree ivs i had before they dont crack however, my dream pair of shoes for rockin are these...the xiiis 6.0s are ok too, prefer them to standard af1 los and normal dunks
The traction section of the sole is negligible, not really appropriate for turf - basically the same bottom as on a trail running shoe.
How do you like the trainers? I've had my eye on those for a couple months now. I need some new sneakers.
I love 'em, but if you order a pair, get them a 1/2 size bigger than normal. Like all Puma sneakers, they run small.
MY two most new additions to my casual collection the Puma sky II Demi and the Nike sweet classic leather
