I guess we will never agree! Oh well, to each their own. Merry Christmas.

Re: OS Shoes Thread

I really don't get the hype about these things. They look like a normal $75 nike shoe.

Now, maybe, since they've been imitated so often. When the first released, no...

They changed the sneaker world more than any single sneaker.

I want to be buried in a pair of 11's.

I don't get the hype over a single pair of basketball shoes ever, seems like a pretty big waste of $$ if you're not going to wear them everyday but hey to each their own

Re: OS Shoes Thread

My wife gave me my second pair of Concords. She truly understands me.

Re: OS Shoes Thread

Just SMH @ the resellers value on these. The sz 15 auctions I've watched are ending near $500. I'm definitely selling my pair, that's insane. I can get a pair of 2000 Concords in good condition and the Huarache Free Basketballs paid for just on the profits from selling these. Ridiculous. I'll take those two sneakers for free over keeping these Concords for $180.

Well you can say that about most things that people chose to spend their disposable incomes on. Especially collectors - comic books, baseball cards, etc. People who spend $5k on a home theater setup, like $2k wouldn't get you a badass setup?

These get a real bad rap too because of the "hood" connotation and the fact that most people who are crazy over these are presumed to not be able to afford food, proper housing, etc. Horrible stereotypes but certainly true in some cases. Just read any of the comments on the YT videos of news footage from this release.

I for one always wear my sneakers, usually the day I get them in. The people who keep them "deadstock" are comedy to me, but it's their money and their property so they can do whatever makes them happy.

Re: OS Shoes Thread

I wear all my shoes! I've always loved shoes! So, I'm at a point in my life that I buy things I wanted when I was in school. The previous times the Concords came out, I could not afford them. My wife and I are D.I.N.K's, so I can afford having a little luxury in my life, and the Concords are luxury for my feet.

This thread has taken an interesting turn. Too bad, I love when people just post the shoes they have bought.

Oh well, Merry Christmas.

Re: OS Shoes Thread

It's not so much the shoe itself as when people have all these, it's just my mindset that I buy a decent pair of running shoes that hopefully last a year or 2 which why I was disappointed in the Jordan cp.iii's I got awhile back

Getting some new shoes hopefully tomorrow my current nikes are beat up lol

I can appreciate that. I have shoes that are 12 years old and they still look really good.

No different than Black Friday campers (and resellers).

Re: OS Shoes Thread

One of my Top 5's is the Air Flight Huarache. These will do just fine until those retro for real. The only fusion/hybrid I've ever bought. Not gonna lie, I don't mind the sole at all. They're dope as hell.

I remember when these came out. The Fab 5 wore 'em. I got the retros but they hurt my achilles.

Trying to find some new nike shoes that are black/gold or purple/yellow. Found a nice pair of Shox I like online, but only seem to have 2 sizes lol.

Not new, but my favorite black/gold shoes:




I've been on a crazy shoe buying run lately:
