:ehh: respectable. I have no argument other than aesthetics and brand loyalty.


we all have incredible brand loyalty to nike.
yet, over the past i would say eight years, or so.
a lot of companies make great shoes that challenge nike.
if you want to deviate from your nike brand loyalty.
hordes of shoe companies, have numerous pairs of traffic stopping.
what the hell are those, where can i get a pair from.

i like that diversity in the other shoe company's cosmetically and cushioning/functionality.
it helps to make rock'n gear more fun.

like someone in this thread said bron's don't look right in jeans.
i can agree, cause i don't rock my bron's unless it is summer in shorts.
with pants on, most nike's these days don't look right with the style of gear i rock.
when, previously, i always had a pair of nikes on without question.
only nike that fits are the kobe high's.
as they go up high like as a boot like i like my shoes to have when i have on pants.
so, i have an alternative to supra skytop ii's.
which look like a damn good combo of the kobe high top and the jordan vi's.
to the point,..i think the guy who worked at supra on the skytop ii's and the tk.
it looks liek he worked on the kobe high's.

if you peep the back of the skytop ii and tk.
it looks just like the kobe high top, actual high top articulation.
sky top ii's back.

if you peep, the back of the tk, supra skytop ii, and the kobe.
they all have the same type of cut design type.

anyway,.....
now, i get a lot more diverse in shoe brands and i like it, way more.
as now,...shoe company's have their little looks, materials and cosmetics together.
that put some pop back in your wardrobe, and give you diversity from everyone else.
as personally i think everyone in the world has incredible brand loyalty to nike.
when, they should cause nike is the king.
yet, it is still good to rock some of this great new newness, they got coming out from other companies.
i look at it like, the late eighties.
when, the other brands were rock'n like:

lotto : the little plastic bag, with multiple velcro lotto symbols
le coq sportif : incredible apparel and kicks
converse weapons
adidas ewings & kareem's
EWINGS
british knights
original two strap reeboks
la gear : which were cold in the original urban gen permeated models
etonics : the hakeems are back and the boot is more streamlined cut. if you guys wanted to cop.
avia
asics

the companies now, remind me of the same type of thing from then.
i like that a lot.
where you can rock something other than some nike's, and still get props.

For that money, they can be pink hi-heel keds, and me and michael sam can hold hands on the way to the bank

serious question - what rock do you live under?

:lolbron:

1. I live in Europe, maybe they're not that big here yet
2. I'm not that much into sneakers
3. They kind of look the same as other sneakers I've seen, Felton's look like some Nikes. So I just assumed they were:yeshrug:

ny is not known for football.
so, that is completely understandable.
personally, basketball shoe wise.
as far, as company's tha don't have a retro.
us actually makes a function and cosmetically pleasing basketball shoe line.
if I was to rock a pair.
it would be for hooping in.
yet, that curry pe has the same styling as the nike hyperposite.
so, I don't know why people hate on ua's in this thread from a fashion perspective.
when, hyperposite's were a sought after hypebeast casual wear j.



not much difference between these and those curry's at all.
plus, us has their material game down.
where they not making bobo's and actually have a grasp in what is popping cosmetically incomparison to nike.

Yeah I'm actually in Paris, never heard of UA before these threads :yeshrug:

Kevin Durant's representation, Roc Nation Sports, informed Nike on Wednesday that he has a deal on the table with Under Armour worth between $265 million and $285 million over 10 years, sources told ESPN.com.

The deal includes Under Armour stock and other incentives such a community center built in his mother's name whose exact worth will not be known for some time.

Nike, which saw its signature business related to the Oklahoma City Thunder forward grow to roughly $175 million at retail this past season, will now have the right to match, which is a condition of Durant's current contract with the brand. Durant can still choose Nike if they don't match, but can't legally choose Under Armour if they do.

Damn, Durant has Nike by the balls now. They may have to give to him since he is about to be in his peak while Bron only have so many years left at the elite level.
