He's gonna give you a shitty custom user titl... Oh wait...

What is the story behind that Buster ? Not bad!

I am immune to such hanky-prankery myself.

Based on his other ones, these don't seem that far fetched from the realm of possibility. lol

[killramos]

Where do you even buy shoes like this? Toys r us or something?

[gmc72]

I think it's called "Furries R US"

[arcticcat522]

He will grab a pair when they go on sale for under $100

[rage2]

Nah, not a fan of dunks.

[killramos]

Dunks?

I swear shoe people are just trolling themselves.

[rage2]

Dunks?

I swear shoe people are just trolling themselves.
Yea, underneath that hipster artsy shit show is a pair of dunks. They're terrible shoes, and uncomfortable as hell for me. So even if it's on sale, I wouldn't consider it.

Fit aside, it'd have to be a lot less than $100 to cop a pair for how terrible this looks. I don't have a man bun to match. Moot point anyways, these are going for pretty crazy money on resale haha.

[gwill]

I've always got lots of shoes coming and going. In case anyone wants a new release feel free to ask.

Retail or is this like ps5 pricing? :rofl:

I personally haven’t had much issues myself as I only wear AJ6s and nobody cares about em. Needed to work for kids shoes lately tho as they're into 1s and 3s.

assuming it's not a hype release I can help you out at retail.

I like this. PM'd

[shakalaka]

I don't understand this world but if it's not a 'hype release' then wouldn't anyone themselves be able to get the shoe at retail? Why need a middle person then? Presumably only the 'hype releases' end up being hard to get and marked up? Like Yeezy's (only one I know of as hype).

Almost all Jordan 1s are hype release. Lately they've been easier to get, but it really depends on the colorway. If people can make $10 on these fucking things, they'll buy them out.

This.

Ya I have zero issues copping anything that’s not hyped. I think the only Jordan’s that were difficult this year were the AMM4s and the Lost and Founds. Had no interest from kids on the 4s, and was still able to get preschool in lost and founds. Couldn’t get a pair for my teenager.

OK, I LIKE shoes, and my wife says I buy and own a lot of shoes, but I don't collect any, I just wear them out fast.
The day I need a humidity-controlled showcase for my asics you guys know I'm a changed man.

That's for ppl that collect shoes. I wear mine, and encouraging my kids to do the same.

That steam cleaner closet thing might be decent if it actually works.

How many pairs is "a lot" to your wife? Curious what people think is "a lot".

[ExtraSlow]

Anything more than 4 pairs of footwear total is a lot to my wife. I don't even know how many pairs of shoes I own. None are "sneakerhead" shoes, I was just trolling. I wear shitty asics day-to-day until they wear through the heel and then I buy another of whatever asics are one clearance.
Under 12 pairs, including winter boots and sandals for summer.

It's not that simple.Theres lots of releases with minimal mark up best suited to sell locally vs stockx or other online places that take a cut of the sale. Bots just simplify your purchase on these ones. Then there's releases everyone will go for that you won't hit without a bot and then the hype ones that experienced botters may not even hit.

I ended up with 20+ lost n founds in larger sizes. Sold em all(except one) the day they arrived.

[ThePenIsMightier]

You shut your whore mouth

LoL!! Even worse - they made it look like you started this thread!!
:rofl:

[ThePenIsMightier]

I DID start this thread...but it had a better title before...

Oh right...
Still, you look like a dildo for starting a lame sneaker thread, so a loss is a loss.

[Buster]

The lameness of the sneaker was the point of the thread.

[ThePenIsMightier]

No.
Title clearly indicates a mega interest in sneakers and head.

Lol Jesus. I bought 4 pairs of golf shoes last year.

[03ozwhip]

Lol Jesus. I bought 4 pairs of golf shoes last year.

I probably buy a pair of shoes every 2 or 3 months, depends lol I have an issue. My cars could be so much better without spending that much on shoes.

[killramos]

I still wear shoes I bought in high school lol

Well if you ever wanna throw a dog a bone over here, my son and I are both size 13.

I wish I still had shoes from high school. Rocking my original first pair of Jordan’s today would be amazing. Too bad I never collected, just wore, beat them to shit, then tossed.

Who are you kidding, you’re old enough that your first pair of Jordan’s would crack and turn to dust if you wore them today.

[ExtraSlow]

I had a pair of low top champions in blue suede in high school. . Wicked shoes, I'd buy those again.

Know how I know you're old lol low top. I love it.

[ExtraSlow]

I also had some sick Nike all-black high tops, that were truly fucking awful to play basketball in. They looked wicked, but had zero cushioning and were not even slightly comfortable.

[rage2]

Probably. At least I got a pair of the rereleases.

Guys, I think we better slow this thread down until we hear what's hot for sneakers in the Aspen / Mile-Wide Car Wash scene. Only then will we have our baseline.

Finally, gtfo with the dog talk. Dogs are awesome, Buster sucks for not loving dogs. The end.

Those Balenciagas are all fucking horrendous and I don't understand the hype, they're almost as bad as crocs. Yes. Crocs are fucking hideous and even worse putting jewels on them motherfuckers, im pretty sure rage2 is on board with these.

[killramos]

It’s hilarious that I need to google all these shoes names to figure out wtf they are.

[npham]

Lol Jesus. I bought 4 pairs of golf shoes last year.

Rookie numbers. I bought that many pairs this month!

Nah I’m pretty simple. Buy every AJ6 color way, and prestos for daily. Pretty much just Nike, with a few other random shit like a pair of chuck Taylor’s, and some old atrocious hugo boss f1 shoes.

My problem is with slides. Lost count how many variations of Jordan slides I have, then there’s the Gucci, Prada, LV shit there. We’ll wait for Buster to start a slides thread before going there haha.

As a joke I made a calendar of socks and slides for a coworker. Including extra months and title photo, there’s at least 15 pairs scattered across my house and office haha. This is up there with the hello kittys I guess:

rage2 want some retro ice 10s in a 13?

[rage2]

Nope. I don't have attachment to anything but AJ6's.

[bjstare]

Interesting. Mine is AJ12s. I bet that's ~ how many years apart we are in age haha.

[rage2]

:rofl: Probably.

Mine are 11's. Used to play in them all the time, if only I had the foresight to keep them all instead of trashing them.

gwill if you feel like hooking a brother up at retail, I'm hoping to get a pair of AJ3 White Cements next month in size 13. I'm still waking up early to try to get 'em but it'd be nice if there's a backup plan haha.
