I need to get a couple of those Aki Hoshino tees.
Thanks, but damn those tees are so expensive, I'll probably end up getting at least 1 though.

Im not a BIG sneakerhead like some of you but i thought i'd post these pair since they are probably the most comfortable shoes i've ever owned

I like simple shoes like these Adidas i got in NYC around Christmas for $50

More tees!

I got these two from Bowls LA, one of my favorite stores and a great destination for Ruckus parts.

Both tee's are from Know1edge, one of my favorite brands that hails from Hong Kong.

Don't think so, and all blog entries just say "later this year".

I just emailed TH and asked, figured it can't hurt. I might honestly even buy the luggage, because I need sweet luggage.

Those tigers are sweet. I was looking at these:
I had a blue and yellow pair of these Ultimate 81s. They're awesome; one of the top 3 most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Those and Golas are the best I've ever worn (me <3 low profile soles).

Damn, those Poison Clydes are ugly. The first pair more than the second, but I can't see myself wearing them.

Im getting mixed answers from people on the red. Like the people that hate on puma for whatever reason like the Red ones, and other peeps arent feeling the red.

Its a hate or love on those.

this is what the last one looks like. I like the Yellow ones because they change color, depending on how you look at them can be green or yellow.

those are actually quite nice. If I was gonna get a Nike shoe I think the Tiffany SB Dunks would be it.

I've been looking around this thread here and there, and haven't seen any Bapstas. I'm kind of surprised by that, I'm going out Sunday to pick up a pair for this summer.

I'm not going to lie, I like fashion, but only buy things I'll wear constantly and not care about too much. I make enough money to afford them, and I want them, cuz they are awesome. But I'm not 100% if spending ~150 on shoes is good. I'm going to buy a pair that I can wear with anything (i.e., plain white) and they will last me a long time because I take care of my stuff.

Any insight to how they break in though or anything? If anyone has any Bapstas.

i remember when noooooobody even knew what bape was.

i know what you mean about all white shoes, wayy too plain. i, too, take really good care of my shoes. i'm actually wearing a pair of olympic air force 180's right now that i got over 2 years ago and they honestly still look brand new.

i would imagine the bapesta's would break in identical to AF1's seeing as how they are basically the same design (aka will crease like a mother in the toe-box). don't know for sure though since i don't own any.

I don't mind the crease. If I buy a shoe, I'm going to wear it no matter the cost, just the way I am. I'll take care of them, put them in shoe blocks and stuff to try to keep them nice, but I'm still going to wear them. I just think that they look cool as hell.

I was just hoping for a bit of insight into wether or not they're comfortable to wear. I think I'm just going to buy them and thats that, lol.

^^Wow, those are pretty sick. I have a TH purple Adam Bomb hat to go with those, lol.

I've got a pair of NB's in the mail that are sort of similar, monocolor, but blue. I need to post up the other ones that I got on Saturday too, I'm lazy with the pictures, lol.
