      Re: OS Shoes Thread





      Finally got my hands on the Nike VaporMax. I've really slowed down on my purchases. No more room for my shoes.



      My over flow closet is overflowing.



      These pictures are a little old, but you get the picture. With the "Pure Money's" coming out in May and June it means more shoe shuffling. I feel like I'm back working at Champs reorganizing the stock room.

        What do you real shoe guys think about the Big Baller Brand ZO2 shoes for 500 from Lonzo Ball? It all just seems insanely stupid to me. I can understand a 200ish shoe, looks and function aren't cheap, but he's just being insane here.

              I think it's a way to get people to talk about the brand. I hope he's not putting too much weight and pressure on his sons.

                I'm sure he is a level headed father with his sons.
                I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                  I'm not talking about how he's raising his kids, I'm talking about pressure on them from others. I feel like he's putting a target on his son. His boys all seem respectful and well raised.

                    Dang... Mike. Nice collection. But you might have an addiction there!! Do they have classes for that?

                      Ah I misunderstood, he's totally putting a huge target on the oldest one. Having a pair of signature shoes even before he is drafted and they are gonna sell em for $400 it's freaking insane. It's not like he doesn't already have enough to deal with being a top draft pick and producing right away, he's got these lofty aspirations his old man is putting out there. Plus all the bad publicity the old man is making for his kid with the outlandish statements. I hope the kid can do well, he's a really good player.

                        At first I was defending him, now I just shake my head. I hope his son shines. I think he would be great as a Laker.

                            Picked up some running shoes. The 1st 2 are from a company called Onemix based in Japan.

                            Great reviews and are on par with Nike Air Max. Really comfortable and very light

                            Then picked up some Saucony running shoes. Love how these feel on my feet as well

                              Although I'm super late to jump on the bandwagon.....

                              I FINALLY got "boosted" ..... Picked up my first pair of Ultraboosts .... This particular pair below:



                              I was choosing between this pair in the video or the 'Mystery Grey' pair....Decided on the Pearl Grey since it reminded me more of a 'lifestyle' shoe (that could also be used for running - although I don't get much running in these days....mostly walking - thats what gettin' up in age does to ya'....but I digress.... LOL!).

                              Truly amazed how comfortable the boost technology is....And even more impressed with all of the different colorways there are! Really wish I had started collecting these during the Ultraboost 1.0 days!

                              Am still deciding whether to roll with GOAT or StockX and get the following pairs (once I feel the price has 'stabilized', aka - I can afford 'em... LOL!) :

                              https://stockx.com/adidas-ultra-boost-multi-color
                              (still re-selling around $500?!?!?!)

                              https://stockx.com/adidas-ultra-boost-solar-yellow
                              (ALMOST at a reasonable price....$310....And actually....would be awesome to cop all of the SOLARS - orange & red!)

                              https://stockx.com/adidas-ultra-boos...inese-new-year
                              (I want this pair BADLY! I should get a discount on these shoes simply b/c I'm Asian, right? LOL!)

                              https://stockx.com/adidas-ultra-boos...ow-in-the-dark
                              (I mean seriously...they glow in the dark...yep...I'm still a little kid at heart! LOL!)

                              https://stockx.com/adidas-ultra-boost-solar-slime
                              (Really feelin' this pair b/c of the design/colors on the toe box! And it is priced below Ultra Boost SRP since I get a $25 discount on the first purchase. Sort of want to find a lower priced Ultra Boost to test the waters with StockX and once I feel comfortable, then go for the higher priced pairs.)

                              Yeah man....the sneaker bug has bit me.... #HypeBeast

                              If you all know any trustworthy shoe provider contacts that give reasonable resell prices....let me know!

                                Welcome to the dangerous world of boost!

                                Glad to see that jumped right into the deep end because boost will make your other shoes collect dust. They're that comfortable.
