Act like 30+ year old men of all races and economic backgrounds haven't been rocking sneakers casually since before you were born, brehs


Nikes bread and butter is actually its running shoes (like Adidas) and that's where you see the new innovations. Majority of their popular comes from their retros and a lot of their newer stuff tend to get overlooked.


You’re not telling me nothing I don’t know. But even the running department the technology and innovation hasn’t been that groundbreaking like the air bubble. The Designer of the Airmax 95 just left the company last week I think

Nike is loving these Jordan 1s. Gen Z has Gen X parents and those Gen X parents were the main ones rocking the 1s back in the day.

They look OK for casual wear but that's it.

Jordan hates the 2s because he got injured in them but they're the most comfortable pair of Js I own. 13s are pretty good too. 12s look nice but hella uncomfortable to my foot. 11s seemed almost too nice to hoop in...them Space Jams :banderas:

AI The Question. Nice shoes but heavy as fukk. Dunno how he ran around in them shyts.

Bron shoes are tanks but it makes sense given his size and playstyle. Can't have no Zion shoe blowouts on TV for Bron.

Kyrie low key has some nice sneakers and they usually sell for like half of what Jordan's would cost.

Kyrie 6 was a really underrated shoe.

I copped some Kyrie 6’s last year and am mad as fukk at myself I didn’t cop at least 2 pair :snoop:

They were $130 a pair then, now they’re $400 :picard:

And whoever said AF1s are trash just trying to sound different :unimpressed:

If you’re 30+ you don’t need to be wearing them outside of the gym…. :yeshrug:

Use some discernment but a grown ass man still calling himself a sneaker head needs to grow tf up.

Agreed. Why do grown men want to walk out the house, looking like a little boy?

Don’t call myself a sneaker head but I doubt I’m ever gone stop fukkin with sneakers :unimpressed:
You're right, but I have no wear else to rock them, so i just put 'em on for work.


Just some basic basketball sports shoes that I think look pretty neats...



What’s them joints on your right foot? :ohhh:

Vaporfly is where they have been innovating in their running department. The Alphafly was banned from competitions. I don't think anything will be as popular as the visible air unit but the foams they have developed have surpassed the comfort.

Yea the vaporfly / vapormax wave just seemingly came and went really. It’s like Nike is lazy as hell to even advertise. I remember growing up they had the best commercials and marketing campaigns.

Even the quality of the employee store has gone down from 2 years ago. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in that bytch and literally have walked out without buying anything.

Vaporflys are still a thing in the running world

Not unpopular just straight facts


The Penny Foams are dope. I used to get clowned for wearing those back in 2001, everyone outside of DC/MD called them moon boots.

The Penny 1’s are classic, but bulky as fukk if you don’t have small feet.

The Penny 2’s hold a special place in my heart, first pair of $130 sneakers my parents bought for me. They too are kind of bulky if you don’t have smaller feet.

I couldn’t fukk with any Penny shoe after that though, only 3 good models IMO
