The sneaker thread

[prolific passer]

Have several pairs of Jordan 11's, 12,'s, and 13's. I only buy the original colorways, and I rarely wear them.

The 11's are quite possibly the most uncomfortable shoes every designed, and since they're patent leather you have to be careful how you walk in them, exacerbating their discomfort. But man do the Bred 11's look amazing.

Spoiler:

Oh man, I agree with this 100%. I was gifted the Concords from family a few years back and I still haven't broken them out yet.


I have some flat feet, so every shoe I wear immediately get's creased and I still can't bare to see these beauties get cracked

A little bit of the same problem as I have low arches and sprained my ankles so much throughout the years when I was younger including one really bad sprain on each foot at one time that I walk on the side of my feet now because of it. Finally got some Dr. Scholls inserts and that fixed the problem (though temporarily as they go bad after some time). But I have some to put in my sneakers which helps.

Funny story, I went to a science museum once where they measured your arch and I got the top score at 98% coverage to the surface

Anybody heard of this serious player only shoes?

I have apparently they are quite good, I haven't watched the review on Youtube.

Apparently they have some great midsoles that they even sale separately.

They blinded you with science.

Most Jordans these days are uncomfortable and hard to get in without creasing.

I really had no problems with Jordan shoes when it comes to comfortability, I think the creasing comes from the way technology of how shoes are made now, they are things that can help avoid the creasing when wearing them.

That's true.

Nike is probably gonna be in another rough year and they probably have no idea why they are struggling.

There are 3 Goodwills basically in a triangle around the world headquarters in Beaverton. Not only will you get 10,000 Nike employees donating ****, but employee sale leftovers and test products get sent there, it's awesome. I was at work one day and I saw a dude in a grey tracksuit on a bicycle, and he got closer and closer and it was LBJ, some golf carts following him. I swear that bike frame was about 5 feet tall.

Tried on a pair of those court royale 2s mids/highs they fit my feet pretty good. The black pair anyway which seem a little bigger than the white pair when i stood them side by side.

[prolific passer]

Kohl's is starting to sell players shoes. Got Giannis Nikes, Curry's under armor, and I believe now Dames adidas. All look uncomfortable as can be. I seen a pair of Lebrons at shoe carnival.

Seen pictures of sgas new converse shoe coming this year and they don't look all that and who knows how much they are gonna sell with the fact that the only shoes converse sells in stores are the chuck Taylors.

My first ever pair of basketball shoes were the tmac 2's. White on white (because that's the only colorway in stock)

i hate scalpers. and coupled with nike's limited numbers it sucks. i wanted the 2024 Jordan 4 Retro Bred Reimagined and had no luck. didnt even hear of a restock.

I guess nike thinks limiting some shoes will help with sales but it will probably not.

Converse released 2 new weapons. One resembling Kings colorway from the old commercial for all the Knicks fans out there.
