Wow not as much hate as I expected from NICO. I'm impressed.

IwantanS13 nice collection and yeah I know they're uncomfortable but I like how they look. But I wear all of my other sneakers all the time too so it's alright.

Shoes were my hobby way before cars. I'll buy any pair of shoes that I kow I wont see anybody else wearing. Heres some of my favorites of my collection though.

Jordan XI's (patent leathers)Nike Shox BB4 (the original 'boing')Air Max 360 one time only packs (got a few)Any quickstrike Air Max'sOther Jordans
Haha, I'm actually surprised this many people are into shoes on NICO.

Man, I want Jordan III, IV, and V, and Spiz'ikes so bad but damn nearly 200 for any of them. What I most likely will get next is a pair of Nike iD Air Max 90's.

Oh, I want these

I'm taking a break from buying ****loads of sneakers atm. Puts a dent in your wallet if you don't keep track of your spending habits.

A pair of all black and all white Air Force Ones or Dunks suffice nowadays.

They do if you get to crazy about it but I usually only buy 1 or 2 every 2 or 3 months. I'm waiting for the Ferris Bueler Dunk Highs which hopefully come out early spring

I despise all black or all white Forces or Dunks unless they're made of different materials like the Medicom 3's.

Also if anybody is looking for a pair of Dunk High's Journeys has these blue/white/black ostrich Dunks.

I don't get the appeal of expensive sneakers.

They are just sneakers.

I don't mind paying a bit for a good pair of shoes but shoes are shoes. I don't care how they look. I buy them to last, not to look fancy.

Hell i can't even see my shoes when I have them on!

I just never understood the sneaker head hobby, seems like such a effeminate thing to get into.

Eh, I haven't skated in years, wearing SB's all the time would just seem weird. I got love for any sneaker as long as it looks good, I hate when people get all crazy because it's not a black or gold box Nike.

Well I can see my shoes when I have them on. None of my shoes are really expensive, my most expensive pairs cost me $100 (Pumps and November Rains).

Well if shoes are just shoes, cars are just cars. I don't believe either I like to be able to personalize my image just the way I want, same with my Z.

What's funny is that if you guys hate this much on sneakers, damn I can't imagine what you guys would say about the way I dress, HAHA.

Oh sweet you copped the GnR mids too? My grandma got me a pair for xmas, but I have yet to receive them.

Unrelated: I almost bought a pair of the Proper Vans Sk8 Hi's yesterday. The silver and blue nylon ones. Really sick, but I dont think Im ready to spend 200 bucks on a pair of shoes yet though.

Yeah I've been wearing the Rains everyday since I got them, had to get shirts to match them though, haha.

Whoa, $200 for ProperxVans, I'll just get some people I know from Cali to get them for me retail $85, oh yeah.

I'm dying waiting for the Ferris Buellers to come out. I'm going to keep the leopard laces on for a while to see how they look.

What kind of clothing you buy iwantanS13?

I used to have >30 pairs of shoes, all Jordan/Nike, and Adidas during my high school years. All of them in mint condition. I used to wear socks over my socks over my socks with socks IN my shoes to keep them from creasing. Nowadays, I only really wear my black/white superstars or my all white Air Force's. The rest sit in my room collecting dust.

I remember when I bought my 18's the 2nd day of release. 175ish I think and I was a freshman in high school. Trust me, 175 was ALOT back then. by the time junior year rolled by, they were my court shoes and I was rockin low top 19's. I never liked what the Jordan's after 19 looked. Too much going on.

lol, like what?

I can't seem to justify the whole expensive jeans thing, so I don't buy edwins or evisu or any of that shxt. I go to Gap.

Shirts are another story. I'll lay out for Kiks Tyo, Neigborhood, Know1edge, etc... because IMO a lot of their stuff just looks that much better. I just ordered the "k i k s" shirt with the 574's on it. r0x.

I hear that Alphanumeric is sort of making a comeback, which I'm all over. I still have a lot of their stuff from back in the day.

Again, like with the shoes, I don't like really flashy clothes. Bape, BBC, C&C, and stuff like that is a little over the top for me.

EDIT: I wish Fatlace had an online store, because I really like their stuff.

I wear slim fit jeans and mostly band shirts, with the occasional polo thrown in. Im also one of those kids who wears those crazy colored hoodies. I tend to get all my shopping for shirts and stuff at pac sun at the mall. Mostly skater stuff but shhhhh, I dont skate, haha.

On a side note: could you get me a pair of purple or silver properx vans for a lower than Ebay price? Id really appreciate it.

I just won a set of these on eBay:



I'm also fairly confident that I've got a set of these waiting under the tree for me from my wife:



Neither are at all rare, AFAIK. I just like both colorways. There's one from the same series that's all black but with a yellow outline on the "N", and I'll be trying to pick that one up in the next couple days as well.

I've been pretty much phasing out of the shoe game for a little while now.. new heads/high school kids are really killing it imo. guys that think every shoe they have HAS to be an SB Dunk

black/gold box SBs FTL.

I'll pull out some neckbreakers once in a while. off the top of my head, I've got bucks, unluckies, bocas, tweed hi's, homers, t19s, bandaids, stussys, etc.. the usual clean silver/pink boxes. not any of the new release flashy-@ss colorful shiet. but nowadays I just rock some vans (halfcabs, authentics..) whenever I'm out.

btw chitownguy, what are those in your avatar? they look like ceramics, but I can't tell..

Nah, nothing just Levi's 511's and 514's but for shirts I get pretty much get anything I like. My favorite shirts are Orisue but I have Triumvir, Garbage, Obey, and a few others. I wear my shirts pretty tight though either small or medium, depends. Yeah Alphanumeric is coming back I hear, Karmaloop carries they're stuff and many others if you don't mind ordering online.
iwantans13 wrote:On a side note: could you get me a pair of purple or silver properx vans for a lower than Ebay price? Id really appreciate it.
Honestly, I don't think I'm even going to get them since I don't have any money until I get paid.

Haha, I'm a new sneakerhead . Only really been buying for about a year and half..nikes anyways. But you got some pretty sick ones I want the bucks and stussys bad but resale prices kick me in the nuts. Nikes gold box releases are really lacking, though, but a few releases look somewhat promising.
