People didn't really start wearing sneakers as a fashion statement until recently.
Most people just wore sneakers. They wore Air Force One's.
Jordan's weren't a fashion statement and weren't heard to get.
No
What kicks you been rocking this summer?

No
So New York copied foams from DC and Air Force Ones from other regions
and now they're copying shitty down south music
Snoop really knocked down those buildings
Jordan's been selling out since the 90s

We finally get to the meat and potatoes of your frustration, you have NY envy... figures
Son, on that note I'm done. You're fucking delusional and don't know what you're talking about. You say some wild shit in the Sneaker thread, but that just took the cake. Even people who don't wear Jordans would call bullshit on that
Guy just said Jordans weren't a fashion statement and not hard to get, THAT made me laugh! I can't, in good conscience, continue this discussion with someone so out of touch with reality

those are nice but my pronate sticks out too much on those shoes, so i don't have a pair.Nike flyknit racers. These shoes have spoiled me, whenever I wear dress shoes or flat tennis shoes without heel support they feel uncomfortable.
You could get Jordan's in Eastbay on sale and in outlets.
One of my first pair of Jordan's were playoff XII's from an outlet
Certain colors yes but for the most part they were gone.
whattttttttttttttttt are u talking about..sneakers been a fashion statement for yrs..ur clearly not talking about ny.. nigs been rocking foams, jordans, air max, etc forever on some fashion shit..that shit u juss said made no sense at all... there's a diff btw fashion statement and this modern day dumb shit with nigs standing on line and reselling kicks etc..sneaks and gear been flowing in ny..u sure u been up on sneakers for decades u sound like these new retro nigs.. i;m from the first installment era...that u acting like "you dressing up for a fashion show" term came from the 90's
No they sold like crazy HERE IN NY
U had to search to find them shits after a while. I remember i sat in foot locker for an hr debating to myself wether to get those or the black and white 12's
NY cats aint never cAres nothing about the price of no fashion FOH. Avirex? Vansons? Pradas?
Pretty much every colorway of every model was easily attainable
And when Nike first started retroing they didn't even do that well.
You were lucky then.
Here they sold out every time. Original release and these retro editions too
Penny Hardaway shoes sold out
Then the black foams and the pearl ones
The only thing dudes out here never wore were timbs and af1s.
Ppl that wear them now are just not from out here period.
Nah not in Florida.
If you didn't skip school you were assed out
Yea.
All I know is ever since I came to the DMV area foamposites was heavily worn. They were wearing every type of foamposite Nike made. On top of the New Balances, Nike Boots and those other funny looking boots.
New York just seemed to rock whatever was fly at the moment. Mostly Jordan's. Or NY seem to be trying to be up on the next shit. Like Italian sneakers nobody ever heard of. I didn't see the foam craze as heavy in NY as I did in DMV.
I'm talking you couldn't go anywhere without seeing them shoes. When those copper foams dropped all the stores were sold out.

It was the same for me at first but I don't notice it now though. There are more comfortable sneakers out there like the Nike free runs but these are one of the best looking imo when wearing jeans
I know you don't know what you're talking about.
Air Max are a fashion statement
Air Max are just like Air Force One's
Jordan's used to go to outlets in droves until recently and they're starting to again.
You don't impress people or make fashion statements with general release kicks.
Why are all the biggest influences in the sneaker culture from New York wear and the biggest proponents of Uptown's?
Yep.
Nigga you still in your 20s.. not even late 20s. Hes talking when you were still dirtying diapers. Stfu.
exactly..15 yrs old nigs rocking 700 vansons with foamposities to go to skate key..like i said 90's ny fashion..lot of these cats sound like the discount sneaker cats that couldn't afford first installments and had to wait to the retro era to try to relive the childhoods they never had..that's why they buy every ugly ass colorway now to try to make up for lost time..meanwhile nigs who already did it back in the days like awww been there done it don't care about it anymore
nigga every ny nig juss co-signed me yet the guy not from ny which is you is trying to argue..let me guess the nig not from ny knows more about ny 90's fashion than every single ny nig on this board..u still didn't post them 90's vids and pics to prove your point..show me them skate key vids from the 90's to show me ur rite.. them gray/black/lime green air max was the must have back in the days..u rocked them shits with nautica gray sweats..every ny nig kno that..can u prove that those wasn';t the kicks to have in the 90's in ny???..in fact u would have the matching all black with a lil lime green vansonI know you don't know what you're talking about.

Now you niggas are just pissing on my leg and trying to tell me it's raining. By the time Coppers dropped foams were popular. You can go in the Sneaker Thread on THIS board, it goes back to 2010 or something, I was the ONLY nigga in there posting foams.
These are my still DEADSTOCK blue foams. You see the date on those, that's 10 years in a couple months. Don't play with me bout my kicks boy boy, I'm serious about mine. Y'all niggas tweaking, I'm done
Some of you cats aren't in the sneaker thread, you don't know any better... I do this
