the fact you guys pay north of 150 for shoes that cost 10 bucks to make is pure foolish.

nike, like all major name brands are going down.
it's not worth it, people are waking up to the bullsh#t, how many death's occurred in the hood due to people getting robbed for a pair a j's.

nobody gives a fucc about nike besides hoopers

:mjcry: my childhood. I wanted every pair of shoes out the Eastbay

Everytime a new issue would come to the house I would take it to school with me and we would look at it in class. Knowing damn well mom was only going to buy one pair for each season under $80 :wow:

THIS!! My friend would give me his eastbay mags when we get to the court in middle school. Had all the Nike jerseys and Air Force ones. Back in 2000-04. :mjcry:

Real talk. The retros Nikes and Jordan's from 90s-05 are sharper in design and are made to hoop in. The news ones are casual and suck when you play ball in them. I tried playing ball in 2012 Jordan 10s and my feet were dead ass gone. :mjcry:

When it comes to running shoes Nike has gone light years beyond the old days. The shoes are lighter, flat out look better and nearly all of the tech they develop for the running shoes makes its way to everything else in their pipeline

I'm sure the tech has gotten better, but as far as appearance I much prefer the 90s silhouettes. I don't think any of their recent running shoes look as nice as the AM95.

What were the last good shoes Tinker designed? I feel like he fell off. Could be wrong though.

The Jordan 23 maybe?

in terms of hype maybe not

but the designs are cleaner than ever

& of course the tech is constantly improving

i want to see them continue updating classics

like how they did with kobe 1 protos

The Kyrie and PG aren't bad but I'm not a fan of the Vapormax at all
