What kicks you been rocking this summer?

[POSTERBOY]

can't say it enough but GOAT has been reliable to me so far

What's that, GOAT?

I can't co-sign eBay enough. All you have to do is buy from a power seller, if they have less than 200 positive feedback ratings I don't fuck with it

niggas was getting killed for these shits...I had the exact same one below...in retrospect shit look like ass...dudes was getting shot for them coca cola jackets too but now I'm going way back

Son I had the Tommy Hilfiger Jacket that was in the LL "Doin It" video, I was in 8th-9th grade... you could not tell me I wasn't getting pussy that year

similar to ebay and flightclub but better prices depending on what you're looking for since they take a much smaller cut...it's an app...you buy the sneaker...seller provides pics if used none if new...s+h is only $10...it's shipped to GOAT 1st for them to inspect/authenticate it...then shipped to you...process takes about 7-10 days...you have 3 days to return the shoe if you don't want it but that's where you can get burned cuz then you have to pay s+h to them AND to the seller

Bet, I'm going to check it out. Good lookin'

But yo, this is the joint I had...

Son, you couldn't tell a real nigga I wasn't about to be in front of sousa, truman and Spellman just CHOOSING bitches

 

[therealjondoe]

No, neither did the 6's. They start to yellow on the bottom around the rubber grips first but I throw silica packs in the boxes and my sneaker closet is cedar, the moisture and shit is pretty low in there.... That said, I'll probably dig them out and check

Be careful, if it's too dry the soles will come right off.
Happened to me 3x this year
Steel xs
White,red,and black 5s
And red and white 12s a
You think gorilla glue will hold them?

^^^lol

I use GOAT if I want 2 pairs of a hard to get sneaker...I'll get the 1st pair from a more traditional retail spot online FNL NDC FL etc...then get the 2nd pair from GOAT like a few days later...depending on the sneaker if you do it the day of...the prices will be higher due to hype...but after a few days to a week the price will come down to the point that you aren't paying more than $50 over retail including s+h...in some cases waiting a while can even get you the shoe lower than retail

It's happened to me on a couple joints actually. My olympic 6's, the playoff 12's, Melo 2's... I have the sole glue, but I've read that you just have to take them out and flex them a little bit. I'm honestly, for the most part, done with the sneaker game. I have too many and it's not like I have all the time in the world to just wear t-shirts and sneakers, still haven't worn my Gamma's or 72-10's and a gang of other shit

Yeah that's a good strategy, pretty much how it goes. Everybody thinks they're the only resellers on the day off and then the price drops once everyone and their mother throws em up for sale

Same here I retired.
I sold a bunch and still probably have near 200 pairs.
I just don't have the space and everyone pretty much has everything because they keep bringing the same shit out.
Still have shit I've yet to wear.
Oh my Olympic 7s also came apart

 

[LSN]

ya...I also did it so I could use the 1st pair of sneakers as a reference point to make sure they weren't sending me fake shits cuz I didn't know how reliable they're authentication services would be

 

[therealjondoe]

Had the red white and blue polo sport joint from this video.
Love this era

My bad Joe, don't know how I missed your last question

Sof Sole
^ Just cop the sole glue and get right

 

[LSN]

looks cool. ever fuck w/ https://stockx.com/ ?

I seen someone mention that a while back and checked them out...I only glanced @ it but I didn't like the bidding process

 

[Mack1052]

Been rocking these during the summer







Also got some classic superstars, quilted Chucks and Balenciagas (caught a deal from a scammer) that's been in rotation

 

[POSTERBOY]

That's why you have to come to the light and fuck with eBay fam, them dudes aren't risking their feedback and powerseller status to move some fake joints

 

[LSN]

I miss the days of hillfiger and guess jeans

only thing I missed about hilfiger was them hats...them shits looked dope + we made a killing boosting them from macys lol <--- dumb shit tho!

*edit*

had this shit but in yellow instead of white w/ the small pocket in the front...I can't find the others "fly" shits they had...this shit look corny now too lol

 

[therealjondoe]

The gray flag logo Hilfiger t-shirt>>>

 

[Mack1052]

And flightclub been out forever. I remember coping from their og store by Washington Square and even the joint they had off of Fulton Street downtown near Wall Street

Those crimson AM90's are FIRE. How do you like the fit on the Balenciagas? I have 2 pairs but I've worn then each once, they feel way too big. I'm an 11 and I tried the 42 or 43 ( I don't know I'm not getting up to look for them) but they were small and I bought whatever was supposed to be the equivalent of an 11 and they feel way too spacious

 

[HumbleYaself]

this song and video was so perfect.
takes me back to rap city.
fuck i miss the 90's + i'm getting old.

Very underrated group. True hip hop

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Last year I totally switched up my sneaker game after seeing someone with Common Project sneakers.
Started with these:

Then I stepped up to these:

 

[Mello Mello]

Flight Club is a sneaker consignment shop, you're good. You can find some gems in there but, like I said, everyone wants top dollar for their shit because they have the price they THINK it's worth and then they try to bump it up to get you to pay the cut FC is going to take



Galaxy foams, don't get me started on those shits... That was all star weekend 2012. FIRE fucking shoe, but after those drops they ushered in the dark ages of foams they started printing all kinds of bullshit, heat signatures, weather maps that would make @Selfscience blush... shit was just bad

Ironic. I actually seen those today.

Good looking, those maxes are most definitely an eye catcher. The Balenciagas fit me good because I gotta wide ass foot. Most definitely more American in term of spacing than your typical Euro shoe

Y'all talking like Hilfiger is dead, man fuck ya'll... I bust out my Fair Isle cardigan every winter... THIS joint

Flint Grey 13's(ok... or Timbs... yes, I'm an NY dude, we know this) and a mug of liquored up egg nog and I'm right back to my LL jacket days CHOOSIN' hoes

 

[LSN]

yup...favorite joints...

Are the second sneakers Vince's??

https://www.c21stores.com/categories/men-sneakers?view_all=true

Also has a wide range of sneakers for discounted prices too.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

I scrolled the pics and this look right here is tough man. Where did you get those?

 

[POSTERBOY]

Ironic. I actually seen those today.

HORRIBLE! Nike raped foams so disgustingly. They just over did it on a great pair of kicks thinking anything would fly... I guess it kinda did, but c'mon I know nobody at Nike is proud of a lot of the foams they cranked out

na I was never a hilfiger dude or polo for that matter...wore a dusty ass fatigue jacket that was my pops and timbs and just regular hoodies (champion before they made those hoods all flimsy and shit) or tees...I did fuck w/ hilfiger for the jeans...if I wore a buttoned shirt it was enyce or another one of those type name brands that slips my mind...that orange nautica jacket and a couple of those hilfiger caps was probably the flyest shit I had back then til I really started working in the late 90s lol

Nah, Hydrogen-1.Its a small company in San Francisco. He keeps changing up his styles and has big sales every batch. Those type of sneakers are called Minimalist and i'm sure Vince has some with the same look. Really comfortable.

Jordan I pinnacle's... Take your pick

Bet you wish you had that jacket now. Camo is all the way in, it was a staple in New York last fall/winter so watch it to be everywhere this fall/winter.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Jordan I pinnacle's... Take your pick

Damn that is out of my sneaker price range but those are tough.Thanks.

 

[POSTERBOY]

Damn that is out of my sneaker price range but those are tough.Thanks.

Pinnacle I's are costly, Let Nike tell it they only use the FINEST of materials for them... whatever

I'd say shop Nike Dunks, the shape and look of the shoe is similar and there's a wide array of colors, prints, and materials. There's no way you don't find something you like

...Speaking of I's, @therealjondoe I have a black pair of lance mountain jordan I's that I've never worn and I'm afraid my indecisiveness with never allow me to wear them.

(not my pic)I purposely hit my white pair up with some nail polish remover to bring out the underlying wave, subtle though! I can't wear them anywhere with out people asking me about them... but my black joints, they're so fire. I'm torn btwn throwing an 'X' on one toe box and an 'O' on the other or just letting them do what they were intended to and just fade with wear (where's the fun in that though)

 

[shaddyvillethug]

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

Whoa famo

I posted my coppers and royals in the sneaker thread also

Shaddy you know you're my brudda tho. Coppers are too recent, I meant wayyyyy back. I'm going to quote my post from 2011 with my Dr Doom foams with an updated pic because I just wore them today
