Shoes.

Show pictures about:

Your current shoes -
Your favorite shoes -
The shoes you hate -

Here's the list for me:

My current shoes: Adidas Lyte Speed Feather 664150 black-white.
Kind a like them, they cost me 1000.- EEK's, should be like.. 90 dollars maybe ?
Image
My favourite shoes:The ones I own are my favorite ones to be honest, but there are better shoes to wear, although they are really great. I really like Starbury shoes, because of the price and the looks, though I have never used them, so I don't know if they are good or not, but I like T-Mac 3 a lot.
Image
The shoes I hate: I don't like Adidas Proffesors much, and the retros also look ugly, but they are comfortable. Still, Adidas Professor.

I currently wear my recently purchased Lebron V "China edition"

Image

Though I've never had them before, my favorites were Air Jordan 3 and 17.

Maybe someday when I have an excess amount of money I'll start my Air Jordan collection. :lol:

I think we had a thread like this a while back. Not much of a success. Anyway, is this about basketball shoes or casual shoes?

My favorite basketball shoes have got to be Asics All-Japan: Image

A friend got them for me in Tokyo and I wore them for over two years. It's a shame they don't sell them outside Japan. Reebok's Pump are a close second.

My current basketball shoes (although I don't use them much) are Nike's Air Jordan III: Image

Very comfortable, probably my second favorite, along with Reebok's Pump: Image

Most hated basketball shoes: everything on sale nowadays. I hate every single model of post-1998 basketball shoes (except maybe Reebok's Answer VIII).

Favorite casual shoes: Vans Old Skool: Image

Nothing like them.

Current casual shoes: Chuck Taylors: Image

Vans Slip-ons: Image
and
Image

K-Swiss Classic: Image

Puma Suedes: Image

I used to wear my pair of Chuck Taylors everyday, now I rarely do. I switched to K-Swiss mostly due to comfort.

Most hated casual shoes: Nike Shox: Image

Nike Shox Rival: Image

Nike Air Max 97: Image

Nike Air Max 03: Image

Nike Air Classic: Image

Nike Court Tradition: Image

Adidas Stan Smith: Image

(basically the only shoes people here will agree to wear along with Asics).

Nike Shox BB4

Image

Keep my pair in pristine condition, they're the best basketball shoes to date IMO, I like them a lot, I'll probably get another pair when these wear down, though they're becoming harder and harder to find in my size these days.

I can't find a pic of the Suede Sequel so I'd just put in the original Puma Suede. (Y)

As for basketball shoes (though I don't own any of these, I just like how they look):

I've been wearing these lately, love the huaraches, although they're wearing down.
I bought the Lebrons for leisure, but they're comfy, so I've been balling with them as well, lacks ankle support though.

I only wear Adidas Superstars mainly because they're relatively cheap and comfortable, while looking decent at the same time.

Pairs that own:

Adidas Superstars NBA Series "Raptors Edition". Don't really wear this much anymore.
Image

The next two are the two shoes I alternate as my everyday shoe.

Adidas Superstars "Sign Off"
Image

Adidas Superstars Black and White colour scheme. Looks exactly the same as this, except without the stuff on the stripes, just a normal version:
Image

I have a pair of Adidas Superstars 35th Anniversary Run DMC but they're in REALLY bad condition now and I don't wear them anymore, just sorta leave it there.

Currently I wear the Wade 2

Before, I had the T-Mac 5

http://de.red-dot.org/rd/img/360/2006-03-2985-d.jpg

As for casual shoes, I wear some white K Swiss ones the most time.
Similiar to them (instead of a gradient from blue to black, mine is from black to white)

They look indeed sexy.
I like how the Jordan shoes look generally, but they are easily the most expensive, so I always end up with something else.

Now that pic looks weird, socks standing out of the shoes but no legs.

High-larious. :lol:

My favorite is my Converse low-cut sneeks. Having a hard time to find a pic, I think it's one of those limited shite things.
I'm still in the process of fixing that plastic thing on the end of the laces (what is that called?) before I wear it again.

They might be the Chucks that has been redesigned in synthetic leather. Or then again, just my wild guess.

So illini, should I bitch slap j.23 or leave it up to you?
illini wrote:Yall were just pwned by the guy with no feet...

I was thinking of iglet or eglet/egglet but when I searched for it nothing came up, so that's the proper spelling.
Lean wrote:They might be the Chucks that has been redesigned in synthetic leather. Or then again, just my wild guess.

It looks like the one Joe posted except it's a lower cut (the pic has a mid-cut I think) and the laces are more of a light gray. Since it's a low cut the logo isn't on the side of the shoe but instead inside the shoe's heel and tongue part. The black part isn't leather but suede.

Just found out in wiki that I can use metal as an aglet. Sweet. Makes it easier to fix than my original idea of using a laminating machine to cover the end of the laces.
