The Sneaker Thread

[dirge]

Both the hat & Jordans were from Footlockers in Parramatta. The hat was from the one upstairs in Westfield, the Jordans (last pair) were from the downstairs one. If you can find a Footlocker with Jordan XX2s, they should be $100 - I had a voucher for 30% off.

Lol, yeah I've been using the same voucher and bought 3 pairs of Jordan shoes. The black & red and white versions of the 6 rings shoe and the black Air Force Jordans. This was at the Footlocker store down the bottom level too.

My workmate thinks I'm nuts and took me down a peg considering the hard time I give her about her girly shoe shopping. I'm not any better

TPN, I grabbed these on Friday with F&F discount as well:



Not really a fan of AM90s, but this colourway just sings to me.

Too lazy to create a new thread. Please see attached.

ok time for some advice for you sneaker kids

im looking for a pair of shoes, ive always had typical skate shoes, big and bulky, but im looking for a new pair of shoes.

im a basketballer, so ive already got a plethora of bball shoes.

so im looking for something like the hightop airforce ones, or rebok pumps, or the rebok bb4600's etc

so yeah any idea with pictures would be apreciated
oh and places to buy them :P

You're after hightops but don't want basketball shoes? That narrows your options quite a bit. BTW many pumps, along with high AF1s, are basketball shoes anyway.

Sounds like you want something retro... there are heaps of retros out there at the moment. What's important to you?

Weight?
High cut?
Colour?
Fit?
Style?

Throw us some clues, blackie (:

yeah wasnt sure what i should include
bball shoes are ok, but im looking more for larger shoes, ie AF1's rather than my nike kobe zoom lite's, so yeah chunkier is better :P

im not worried about weight, althoug something that weighs 4kg per shoe should be avoided :P

looking for high cuts

colour isnt so much of an issue, i like white, but im also liking green, blue and almost everything actually

as for fit im a 11.5 so thats the size, but i like shoes that are looser than they are tighter

and as for style, idk tbqh

Air Pippens? Chunky, fairly heavy. Retro now available now at some Footlockers.



Converse Weapon? Available at Hype DC.



I'm more of a Air Jordan fan, most of them are fairly light & not chunky. The XX1 could work:



Or V:



You'd have to hit eBay for these. Beware of fake Vs!
