I wait patiently and check every other day for either Shoe Palace or Shiekh to put these things on sale. Kinda can't believe they are still full price.

And that’s part of why my reaction to the launch colorway white/green/orange was, what in the flying EFF is that supposed to be? :lol:

Yeah, sarcasm about how many people seem to buy loads of shoes and sweat minor details but never actually even wear them :lol:

Nope

Glad people are getting them. I want a pair just for posterity but when I'm honest with myself, I know I won't wear them enough to make it worth it. Hope everyone is enjoying their pairs.

I've worn them for an entire day running all over town and think they are pretty comfortable. Oh, and I even went down 0.5 from my normal size 11 🤷‍♂️

Never used or looked at that app, but I fundamentally don't really get the purpose of acquiring shoes that way. From what I always see you guys saying about it, UNLESS you can find someone willing to get got, what is even the point? If I have a shoe that's roughly actually worth the same as the...

How do we know how he really feels about shoes? I've seen clips of him where he seems pretty excited when they hand him certain pairs. I mean, I'm sure his attitude about them is a certain way when he's been able to get all his own shoes (that hugely started this whole sneaker phenomenon) and as...

:rofl: I said it. But I didn't say there's not much to talk about--that's probably the BIGGEST thing there is to do, come on NT and opine about shoes with this crew of likeminded people. But your point is well taken LOL. I said that beyond talking about shoes, there isn't really anything else...

I remember watching that game, and when MJ decided to switch back to a non-cut shoe they had a sideline shot of a pile (or at least several pairs) of infrareds as the trainer or someone was lacing them up so he could swap shoes. I was so jealous :lol:

Totally. I actually don’t mind how the XIs feel, but the chunky toe on a lot of pairs and the missing white edge on the patent make the SJ lows meh to me. Still got my 2016 mids in super good shape, so I don’t need the lows bad enough to accept the lazy effort. Plus, the way JB is, I feel like...

I wonder if they made the midsole yellow so it will match the netting when it turns the same color in a matter of no time :lol:

I feel you LOL. I don't know exactly how many pairs I have right now, but it's more than 100 and less than 150. And that's after I've unloaded dozens and dozens of pairs in the past five years. And it's still stressful sometimes. And I know it's a waste most of the time anymore, but it just...

That was a big part of my point. I know I’m being somewhat pedantic but that’s why I said it’s not a culture in most ways. Car culture, as just one example, is a thing (that I’m involved in) where there are people getting together regularly to appreciate and drive cars, and lots of other stuff...

Yeah. Of course I know what you guys are talking about and saying, and what people generally seem to define as sneaker culture. I just, when I think about it, don’t truly see it as an accurate term, but rather a type of consumer good that has a lot of people who like to buy it. If I collect...
