Sneakerhead tale, last NFC Championship game, I bet my brother $100 the Bears would win, Lost that shit, and he said "Just gimme a pair of your Nikes and were good, and you can buy a new pair of kicks" I opened my wallet and gave em $100, **** Outta Here, Heres the money i bet you, and buy your baby some clothes!

like thats a fair trade :rolling:

So what kinda heat y'all holdin?

I got a dozen Nike SB Mids, half i wear the other are dead stock, these are the ones I mainly collect, SB Mids. I got a pair of SB Highs, but not real into em, I got those AJ 8 Playoffs and 9 Retro, a pair of Barkleys, some Supra lows, and some Reeboks. I got my brother into kicks, but I got mad at em when he bought he same pair of Mids as me, so convinced him to only buy SB Highs, hes got like 6 pairs deadstock. This is the pair im talkin about he bought that I already had, Im trying to restore his pair of Nike SB Mid T.V.s wich he didnt look out for 1 bit, once im done imma hold on to em of course, my pairs pretty clean. just need the time.

crap, dates all wrong on that camera, lol.

holy crap, this thread blew up.

i couldnt find YOTR 7s anywhere. o well... still lots of heat to come. the banned's will be mine!

i dont own too many kicks, i drool more than i spend. i wear all of my stuff though, maybe i just cant bring myself to buy a shoe and not wear it so i dont buy at all.

theres only one pair i dont wear, and thats the manny pacquiao sc 2010 trainer.

i got 2 pairs of these, i wear the one that fits lol.
i also have his last year's trainer 1.3 in blk/red, wore those for the mosley fight. not yet sold on his huarache trainer yet, hoping they dont sell and goes on sale...

rounding out the list:

drose adidas supernatural creator blk/wht/pinstripe, wht/red
jordan alpha 1 "bred"
jordan v5 grown low
jordan cp1 (retired hoopers, awesome shoe but rolled my ankle twice)
assorted nikes (prestige II, big's, dunks)
assorted new balance 574s

kind of new to the sneaker game, couldnt have happened at a worse time financially.

the only fusions i dig are the 12s, plus AF1's tend to just hate my feet in general.

how are those jordan grown man?

& your posting you entire collection list?.....
i dont have a clue of my exact #...but was planning on snapping pics of all of them for insurance reasons so i guess ill contribute later on today with my list

 

[theCHI_Life84]

the grown is ok, i picked it up on sale and it was the cw that i wanted besides the black. theyre comfortable cushioning-wise but as i suspected just by looking at the shoe, the heel doesnt really lock down that good. it pops out a little as im walking, nothing major, but enough to notice. still felt more stable than the mid cut version that came out first though. maybe it needs more breaking in.

my list is pretty short but as soon as i can pay some bills ill be working on it some more.

i will do everything i can to get the concord 11s however. gonna be a long wait, it drops towards the holidays right

day before x-mas 12-24-11 is a saturday...

i plan to get at least 2 of those... (another reason to look through my entire collection so i can find what needs to be sold & that can be concord $$$)
i have a pair of 01' concords but they need some repair because of sole separation

after the botched online release the finishline in river oaks had a shipment that came on 5-10-11 of them but they said they were getting 24 pairs or less & over 1/2 were already accounted for so i didnt even try knowing the manager & at least 2 employees wear my sz

 

[Angel]

I used to have about 100 pair at my peak. I still have pics of most of them from when I was selling them. I probably have about 40 or so now. Ill take a new group pic soon

 

[WindyCity7]

im at 30+ after my count from my moms house

^:clap: You two guys are sick with kicks, i just started about 2 years ago, and usually cop 1 per month, i try to check out the new releases.

 

[zack54attack]

You guys have more than me lol... I had a bunch when i was a kid, cause My mom and dad both loved Jordan and the Bulls.

In HS I got into collecting again. Spent most of my paychecks on shoes. Wore some of them and then sold a lot of them. I have about 18 pairs of Jordans right now. 3 DS pairs. 2-3 killed pairs from hoopin. But the rest are in good condition.

 

[EnjoyYourTiger]

Just picked these up tonight going for a run in them now.

i dont like many addidas but those look very comfy

They are very comfy. Not as much arch support as I'm used to in a running shoe, but very lightweight and pretty good heel-toe balance.

I've been into shoes since 88 when I 1st saw the black/cement 3s. The 1st of shoes I bought myself with my own money was the air carnivores back in 93. My 1st jordans were the powder blue 9s. I still have my OG obsidian 12s and Oxy 14s. Still have my 2000 infrared 6s too. All in pretty good shap still
