<blockquote>I'm sorry, but I just can't get with the idea that being a sneaker head involves rocking only dunks, only jordans, or only nikes. There are so many shoes out there that are fly. I think myself and yourselves are operating in different shoe games. </blockquote> I can get with this. The first time I "snapped a neck" was in '83 when I wore blue, black, and white checkerboard Vans to the bus stop after seeing Spicoli wear them in Fast Times. Second time was with all yellow with black stripe adidas a couple years later that I dug out of a $5 bin at Modell's and promptly handed them to my mom to buy. We used to go nuts over the Larry Bird's vs the Magic Johnson's converse debate, then the NB Worthy's stepped in as a late contender. Adidas were crazy when Run DMC was blowing up. Pumas and Adidas got hot again in early to mid-90's. AirMax has been heavy since '89. Mid to late 90's around here was Adidas, New Balance tech runners, and Nike. For me it's been Nike and New Balance since then, except for those JamMaster Superstars that I picked up. I like those ID's hemol posted, plus the Vans that were light blue with the pattern on them. The other one's were a bit questionable, especially the Hemol Cloudicorns. I got maybe 100 pairs upstairs, I've been thinking of rooting through them and pulling out the WTF ones where I bought them after being geeked on too much coffee or something like that and feel bad even donating them to someone. For example...the AirMax90 St. Patty's that came out last year and I bought 2 pairs. 2 pairs too many, they're ugly as sin and smell like swimming pool liner but I'm Irish and feel I owe it to Nike to support their endeavors involving my holiday. I mowed my lawn in Jordan 6 retro's last year before I hired landscapers. Now I do my dirt in Air Force One lows, white/carolina blue that I bought in '03 and are still comfortable as hell. Also stomp around in those Supreme Delta Force white/white from a couple years back, they're dogged by now but still comfortable. Might have to remove the Zoom and put it in something else, like the Ronaldinho's that y'all slept on. 7-11 has these new things that you can put in coffee that add 40mg of caffiene. They're free and look like the little single-serve half and halfs that you get at a diner. Use a couple, you wind up with posts like this.
