To ball in or to wear?

I liked the Kobe8 that he did with adidas. I remember trying them on in the mall and getting a free pair of adidas socks. Those became my fave socks for like two years as a kid.

Nike hyper dunks to ball in. They just worked for my foot.

Image

Nike Dunk SB - really liked the pigeons and the skunks. Also the Ben and Jerry’s and newcastles are cool.

I really like the dunkestos (half Nike dunk, half presto - way comfier than regular dunks because of the full length zoom sole)

and Jordan 1’s for the legacy and collectible aspect of things. Jordan 3s/4’s/spizike are my fave jordans.

Fave shoe ever? Nike back to the future shoes. Aka Nike air mag. Not that I’d ever ball in a 30k shoe.

I had tmacs back in the day as well! Couldn’t afford Nikes then and a midcut version of the tmacs were available. I just remember them not being grippy on the dusty courts I played on…

Nike Alpha Force 1988

Back in high school I wore Chuck Taylors or canvas Cons as we called them. Then in grade 13 I got a pair of the new suede low cut Converse all stars. Early 70s.

U have to take the image. Save it. Then upload it to free image hosting site. Then copy the link of the image and paste it inbetween [img.].[./img]

Or can copy the direct address of the image and paste it between if you already have the address

Google search images -> open image in new tab -> copy URL -> use that URL with them IMG tags and it should work.
