The sneaker thread

[SkyBill40]

I grew up Nike Blazers and Cortez.

I had a pair of all white Cortez back in the day. Or, as in the 90's, they called them "dope mans".

For what it's worth, Devin Booker is about to release these in his Book 1:

I wonder what sga signature converse shoe is gonna look like. Converse dropped the ball with Bird and Magic. Would have still been on their own if they did them right.

What kind of sneaker do you prefer to wear between low, mid, or hi?

Great gimmick

They were comfortable and not a gimmick.

I don’t mean it in a bad way, but they certainly were gimmicky. The pump did nothing, it was a gimmick, but a cool one.

Only HIghs cause I’m a OG -

I got low Jordan 1s..: the fragment TS lows, mocha TS lows - and want the year of the rabbit Jordan 1 lows but can’t find them.

Mids cool but just not my thing…

Depends on the occasion-

Also the definition of mids vs hi is tough—.

Like are dunk hi’s mid or high?

Converse trying to sell the new weapons as mids but people say they are really highs. When you look at highs and mids together. Not much of a size difference.

Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard

They kinda remind me of a modernized version of Kobe's Adidas Crazy 1

Spoiler:

Also, I know its probs the homer in me, but I genuinely love LeBron's Zoom Air Generation

Do you all prefer thinner or thicker insoles?

[SkyBill40]

Do you all prefer thinner or thicker insoles?

Depends on whether I'm wearing my neoprene ankle braces or not. Thinner if I am, thicker if not. Socks change that up a bit as well. I suppose it depends on how tight you like your shoes to fit.

Idk. The new weapons are comfortable and affordable. Cheaper than most regular shoes. Bird and Magic weapons can cost at the least $84 combined with a little bit of taxes. Cheaper than any Jordan shoe right now.

Nike getting that money regardless seeing they own Converse.

Yeah that sucks and they are still making a good amount of money due to all the hardcore collectors of just nike shoes in general. Especially Jordans.

Since we're talking kicks, which player's signature shoe is the ugliest? I know it's a purely subjective ask, but there's been some pretty heinous shoes made that I just cannot understand how they thought it was a good idea to be put into production.
