yeah i hear you. if it makes you feel better i pretty much just want my money back on them, so i'd say $200 shipped and they are yours. i personally haven't worn them ever, and bought them described as DS, but they look like they were worn once from a barely-noticeable crease in both toeboxes. otherwise they are clean as can be and can pass as ds. let me know and i will email you tagged pics.

phukn awesome, i'm buying my second pair today

why a second pair you ask? its necessary to have a 'workout' pair and a 'casual' pair if you plan to wear them for both. my workout pair gets sssssooooo damn funky, so damn quick, its not even funny. i wash them once a week, and after my first workout, they will already be absolutely funkified by the next morning. even using fabreeze and drying them out with fans.

for fitness? awesome solution, you can run, lift, and basically do anything in them

for every day? i find them extremely comfortable, and now consider normal shoes to be rather annoying, heavy, and wicked lame, y0

i have an all black pair already, so i'm looking for some spunk on my next pair, cant decide between blue or grey camo... (i posted the grey camo above, below are the blue camo), thoughts? muses? which should i go with?

Do those even fall under the definition of sneakers? Legitimate question, I don't know how one would define them.

Ummm Those are officially one step to bringing us closer to the Nike McFly's. I see a chord. How are these powered? Anything other than a 9v battery is a surefire fail!

but yeah i sold all my jordans a while ago. only pairs i have left are some aqua 8's and playoff 8's.

Im not 20 pair new deep but I have picked up some heat. I just copped a pair of Lebron VII's All-Star Game joints on Nike-Talk and a few others probably picked up maybe 7 new pairs since my last update post here.
It's tough finding those III and IVs for something reasonable. But Im on both under the same name as well. Look me up. All I do on there is buy though. Looking to come up on some old SB heat or some Parra x Patta AM1s

LMAO. They seem not understand the quality dip in the CDP packs but Im sure Ill catch a deal. As far as the AM1s go Im sure I'll never get those. EVER. But I did pick up a pair of Patta x AM1 for 80.

yeah nike's been producing crap quality shoes for a while now, i pretty much stopped buying new releases because of it. and yeah lol as nice as those am1's are, i don't think i can afford the $700-800 price tag or whatever they are going for now.


here's what came today. jbf custom blazers done for the NT charity auction-

better pics-

"Nike Blazer SBs, re-constructed of black oil shale leather with carbon fiber swoosh cutouts. The shoes also include red cross detailing on the heel tab as well as JBF branding on the tongue."

the leather smells really nice lol. the liner is just some kind of cloth material, would have been better with something more plush like velvet or whatever but it's fine :bigthumb:
