Let's talk sneakers guys. MJ played for our team, revolutionized the sneaker industry and made it what it is today, i know there are sneakerheads on this board.

ALL brands, not just J's.

to kick things off (pun intended) heres a link to what likely is the adizero rose 2.0:

adidas adiZero Rose 2.0 - Five Colorways | Sole Collector

love J's got the 8 and 9 retro. and 12 pairs of Nike SB Mids, and a couple of SB High. I got into the SB Mid cuz of this shoe

SB Mid "Tokyo". They looked like the AJ 1's, plus i thought the strap was cool, lately they taken the strap off. But yeah when i saw that sneaker, all white, i knew i found the style of kick i was lookin for, everyone wore Air Force 1, and i hated them. Although that shoe is rare as hell, and i can only find it as a knock off, and fake kicks arent cool

Funny that the link is from Sole Collector. I've been a member there since 03. Used to be on NikeTalk before that.

I'm definitely not feeling the DRoses. Besides I wouldn't wanna sprain my ankle...

Anyone pickin up the YOTR 7's? I hear there already a line at Nike Town

I may try to get em for trading purposes

man, ill hook you up with a link from where i got em, $95 w/shipping, but that was a few months ago, so you might have a hard time finding those, cuz theyr usually new releases on a monthly basis, and when theyr gone, theyr gone, but check this page out Premier, this place always has the new monthly Dunk releases, sometimes theyll even have Retro Jordans, and exclusives Nike Highs and reasonable prices, what i dont like is that sometimes, theyll have some dope ass Nikes, but theyll be for sale in store only!!! theyre in Michigan!

I've only got one pair of SBs and its the Lunar Dunks. Comfortable as hell

Nowadays I just get Jordans but before it was AF1s, Dunks, Airmax runners, Pennys and Barkleys. I have a lot of shoes I used to have on FB

This thread is like a gold mine for me. I love Nike Air Max and Jordans. My goal is to collect every pair of Jordans on the market. As you can see from my sig and avatar, I'm obviously a huge fan of Michael Jordan and the shoes. I currently have the Air Jordan 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. Most I've never worn. I'm always looking for more. I probably have about 10 or 11 pairs of Air Max that I wear at the moment.

i think im gonna start looking at getting more air max 90s. the hyperfuse model looks sick, hopefully they come out with cw's involving more black.

also new balance is coming out with some pretty fresh styles, not just the 574 anymore.
