    Re: OS Shoes Thread

    The XX8's and this awful Raygun collection or whatever is the battle of the century for ugly *** sneakers. Can't believe they bastardized the Air Force Max like that.

    Anyone who's buying these, clearly this ugly/bright color nonsense is just a phase Nike is milking - what are you going to do with these in 2-3 years when you realize they're ugly as hell and the hype is gone and pastels and neons are out of style? Are people going to be rocking these glittery Easter Eggs in 2015? I can, to a certain extent, justify dropping $200+ on a timeless sneaker that you can wear for a decade. Some Jordan IIIs or AM 90's. But something so blatantly "flash in the pan"? Good luck. This is like the Zubaz pants era of sneakers.

    Jordans and Nike staples are timeless for the most part. This bright twist on every classic sneaker is absurd. I can't believe those Raygun Air Force Maxes are going for $250 on the Bay.

      Lol.

      I have the Area 72 Barkley Posites. I love em although they are heavy as hell and I don't know how Terrance Ross won the dunk contest in 'em.

      I'm not a huge fan of re-releasing J's in new colorways but then you run into the issue you guys mentioned, having X amount of J's in Bulls colorways.

      Has anyone hooped in the new Kobe's, the 8's?

        Those are sweet!

        Mike, if you get the chance, post a picture of these when you get them. I'm sure they look great on the feet. I love my prisms, it's a shame I can't wear them out as much, the weather's been horrible around here. Too scared to get them dirty. Lol

            That's the beauty of shoes. If you like them, buy them. If you don't, don't buy them. I like the XX8's, they are different and tech. forward. Also, as long as they continue the line, I will buy them until I'm not interested in them anymore. I understand why people don't like them, but I cannot wait to wear them. I like the different reactions I get, just like the Jordan 15's.

              Anyone know what kind these bad boys are? Found them at a local thrift store. No tags anywhere.

                      Hands down the most comfortable sneakers/shoes I have ever wore.

                        Debating between these two right now. Not sure what I want. Both would be in black though... Thoughts?

                          I like the white ones, and I would lace swap the black laces with white laces!

                          Edit:

                          Obviously I did not read your post correctly. I still like the first model.

                              It's a cushioning system that transfers air from the impact area and it moves as the foot moves. Hmmm
