I've been wondering if there's any sneaker heads on NICO.

Right now I don't have many pairs just 4 Nike's and 1 pair of Reebok Pumps. Not pictured is my Nike SB November Rains.



I might be getting the new ProperxVans Sk8 hi's, too.

Just picked up a pair of NB ST33 1400 in fanzine blue only 400 pairs made in each color



I am not a sneakerhead but I liked these. Even though they are the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn

I just started collecting NB's.

I'd like to find a pair of NIB Tannery's, but it ain't easy.

I ordered a pair of yellow 574 Japan's the other day though, they're purdy.

I wasn't a huge fan of the C&C's....just like I don't like most Crooks stuff in general. I wish Kiks Tyo would do an LE 574....

Not real into fashion but the shoe thing has always seemed kinda cool to me because it's like they're all trying to have the ugliest, gaudiest things on their feet possible.

I used to be a sneakerhead back in the days. my collection mostly consisted of Dunk SB's, a few retro Jordan 1's, and a few others. Its a costly hobby, then I got my car and stopped spending money on shoes.

my plan was to buy kicks, hold them a few years, and sell them back for market deadstock value... but that never worked out.. lol, I've grown too attached

nowadays, the only things I wear are my vans Era or Jack Purcells, and ocasionally some of my older dunks.

That's why I can't get into shxt like Bape's. They're too ridiculous looking.

Most of the NB's, even the special edition ones, look fairly normal. There are a few odd ones, but I wouldn't wear those out.

The Tannery's look pretty wild, but I wouldn't be buying them to wear them.

I was in high school. My fvorites were my Fila and Diadora low tops and my high top Adidas Patrick Ewings. I just picked up a set of Heelys but haven't had the time to try to learn how to use them. I just think it will be funny where the store clerk trys to ***** out some kids for rolling them and some 35 year old dude goes zipping by in a pair of them.

Suede brush. Waterproofing spray makes them easier to clean as well, but make sure you only do it when theyre clean so that you dont seal in dirt.

I used to be a sneaker head while in high school. Mostly Jordan brand and Dunks. Even got me the first DMP's. Not any more though. I still buy shoes but not like I used to, its a waste of money now. Way more important things to do with money than buy 2-3 pairs a month. My friend got addicted and went broke in two years. Sad really but I cant help to laugh at him for it.

WTH?? how is it a spray if it's waterproof? wouldn't that defeat the purpose of it being a spray? when i think spray i think water or something like water. or is it like a oil? confusing.lol

Why would someone that has manparts even buy uncomfortable shoes?

I don't know about these other guys, but the 574's are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. That's initially why I started buying them, then when I found out there are a bazillion varieties I started to collect them.

I've had various DC Court Graffiks for the past 4 years. The only problem with them is the soles wear out after about a year, and the heels wear out in about 6-9 months.
