Any NICO Sneakerheads?

[HashiriyaS14]

Its ok man...are you the guy who loves 574's if so my roommate loved those shoes pretty comfortable, unfortunately I converted him into a Dunk fanatic...BUHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.2Yes, those are Dunks one of my favorites in leh col-ec-che-on. They are in chitownguy's avatar too.

Yeah, I've never owned a pair of dunks, so I can't personally comment if they're more/less comfortable than 574/576s.

I tend to like more of a running shoe aesthetic than a basketball shoe aesthetic, but there are some dunks that I think look nice.

I might get a pair of Sambas though, which would be my first non-NB shoe purchase in awhile. Everyone says great things about them.

[bware113]

Never owned any Sambas, but in response Dunk are so comfy to me. They bring the style of Jordan I's, but with more comfort. When go for running shoes I go after Air Max 90-95.

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Samba's seriously comfortable as hell. And if you play soccer they are great, even if u skateboard. I use them for nything with skateboarding they have awesome grip and u feel the board alot better but it doesnt have the extra padding to protect the feet like skateboard shoes.

they will feel weird at first but u have to break them in and then they fit like a glove. My pair of samba's have lasted me a long *** time. They take alot to rip considering i wear mine all the time and not one rip

[chitownguy]

Here's a small part of my collection. Jordan I, IV, VII, XII, XI, XIII, & Dunks are my weapons of choice, but I also enjoy Air Max & Pumas for driving. [img]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p238 ... 18.jpg/img]

Damn that's a great collection, loving the Mars Blackmon IV's.

I'm noticing like 75% of the sneakerhead community is pretty nike-centric.

That makes me like the "inuit eskimo" of the shoehead world, I suppose....like if we had to check a box on Sneaker SAT's.

Yeah I've noticed that too but since I came in a little late (after pink boxes), the newer Nike releases are not that great so I'm looking at other sneakers. Like Creative Recreation and Clae.

Creative Recreation Dicoco

Clae Russell

[iwantans13]

Whoa dude, both of those are

[chitownguy]

LOL I like the Clae's not really that color of the CR's but it was the only good pic I could find.

[iwantans13]

But dude, 2 ankle straps? WTF?

[bware113]

C.R.'s are pretty nice IMO. I also like Supras. Really clean and smooth.

[Didderson]

I dunno what you guys do w/ those shoes, do u collect them? Here's my collection that I actually wear. My daily pair is downstairs though, they're well broken in lol. The garage shoes are really nasty.

Ya that's blue suede pumas, and the DVS pair I just picked up for 10 dolores!

ok so I never wore the ugly addidas b ball shoes so maybe they'll be worth something one day just like the other ugly shoes in here

[916drifter]

reebok pumps

[BMAR240SX]

I might be getting a pair of Alife's, Clae's or supra's. Have you guys heard of gourmets??

[bware113]

Ive heard of it but can't match it with a look. Where can I find Supra Skytops besides DTLR?

[iwantans13]

I believe you can get them for active mailorder.

But those things are too high, theyre like boots...

[bware113]

I love high tops, 2nd to mids. I usually don't like a shoe if its heavy, such as Air Force 1's those things are like boots and they're stiff too...I despise Air Forces.

[ThePrincessx10]

After reading all 4 pages of this thread I was shocked to see how many sneaker lovers we had. Ya'll love sneakers as much as I love jewlery...

I personaly own a million pairs of Flip Flops. and only one NB tennis shoe (165 bucks) for when I absolutly have to put a sneaker on, its just so hot down here I dont like things on my feet.

I couldnt believe how colorfull they make shoes now a days. I guess I'm way out of the loop.

[iwantans13]

Mid tops are where its at.



Those are my favorite pair I have.

[shmex]

i higly reccomend these skate shoes by emerica.



theyre the andrew reynolds 3, most comfortable skate shoes ever made. Ive been in the skate scene since i was 11, and now im 21, and have had many of skating shoes. By far the best!!!

[BMAR240SX]

One of the best shoe's i have ever put on in my life have to be sneakers with the foam technology, its cause im a basketball player so i love it. The last llebron james, those sneakers were the best ever. There pretty trashed imma post pic's of the masacre they went through

[bware113]

My basketball shoes really go through it too...I hate bulky ball shoes like the Lebrons though. My personal favorites were the 1st shocks and most recently the Total Packages so light, I love them perfect for PG perfection!!!

[BMAR240SX]

Those moon shoe's are the best

[s13jus10]

yeah, foams are ftw. super stiff on your first wear, but after they're broken in they're comfortable as all hell. but speaking as a highly competitive basketball player myself, jordan 22s are THE best. 21s were amazing when they first dropped, and 22s took all of the great things from the 21 (grip, cushioning, etc.) and improved on all of it's downsides (breathability, etc.)

but yeah, on a side note.. I'm selling some heat if you guys are interested..

sz9 nds-vnds T-19ssz9.5 vnds laser Vssz9.5 vnds oompassz10.5 puma first rounds

I saw Gourmets on highsnobiety, they look alright but I wouldn't buy them.

But dude, 2 ankle straps? WTF?

Yeah that's the only thing I don't like about them but I most likely wouldn't actually use them.

Also new basketball shoes are ugly!! Pretty much all of them are, that's why I buy retroes.

Lol I wish Matej would post in here, he has those.

[chitownguy]

Double Post!!

but it's my thread so who cares.

Anyways I just saw these on highsnobiety, The Hundreds x Gravis collabo and I'm loving the white high tops.

[bware113]

Also new basketball shoes are ugly!! Pretty much all of them are, that's why I buy retroes.

^Agreed, most new basketball shoes are too over-the-top, its getting rediculous. Simplicity is always a plus.

[BuudWeizErr]

my roommmate has a big collection of SB's and Dunks. some pretty crazy ones. too much for my tastes, haha.

[HashiriyaS14]

Anyways I just saw these on highsnobiety, The Hundreds x Gravis collabo and I'm loving the white high tops.

Wow, those are nice. I usually like anything/everything Gravis, and these are no exception.

I actually just ordered their PSP case.

[BMAR240SX]

Why not? Whats your opinion on them?

[chitownguy]

They're ugly! I like the retro basketball shoes though. There's a few new ones that I like but most IMO just look bad to me. It's just their designs that bother me.

[BMAR240SX]

Its a van sole with a fake pair of jordans designed on top

[lunatyk]

"sneakerhead" here, nike blazers all dayyyyyy. been buying shoes for years now but now that i have my 240 my moneys going to be towards that for a while
