The GH shoe thread

Aww man, now I have to go drool over some shoes.

[tsangan]

Yes Ukraine pricing was (is?) a lot less on many goods, also same for some other countries like Romania that may still be considered as emerging market for certain things. I think I also bought them at the end of the season on mark down. It's been quite awhile so I don't really remember.

Ah gotcha. I don't think it was a markdown though, Louis Vuitton never goes on markdown regardless of season, this is done to sustain its price and status in the market similar to Channel. If there is any unsold bags it has been said that they destroy them for the same reasons above and Channel also does the same thing.

top 5 favorite shoes of all time!!

here's what i wear out to bars/etc/not riding my bike, except i colored all the white parts black with a marker. oh, they have laces too.

these are my all arounders

on the bike:


also have a decent pair of dressy shoes that i wear to dance parties/clubs pretty much exclusively (so about once a week), and some timberland chukkas when i go cold/wet places.
if i didn't ride bmx i would probably have nicer shoes but i value being able to beat up my footwear rather than covet it. used to be into sneakers but that **** is a racket. PM me if you want an old pair of Ice Creams or the Emerica Don Juan Bishop high tops, in 10 or 10.5 :P

Too many sneakers in this thread.

My regular go to has been my Clark's desert boots. Anyone else in the desert boots crew?

I used to, but they went obsolete when I discovered the Redback boots that EMTs wear:

They weight about the same as dessies, but last a lot  longer, grip in the wet - grip on almost anything - and are even more comfortable - there's nothing like them if you're going to be on your feet for a long time. Plus the half sizes are really extra wides, which I love. You can get them in suede or waxed leather. They're also made with non-slave labour, which is nice.

these on my feet today.

Someone here likes it black!

[absyrd]

I got a pair of these as a gift from a good friend...



Bonus points to whoever can name the inspiration.


Sadly, because of my chronic foot/leg/hip/back/abdomen issues, I can only wear these ugly monsters...



They do not let my foot roll inwards because the sole is wide and doesn't have contour inwards at the arch.

[llovro]

I got these:

They are pretty sick if you ask me. I payed like 90€ for em.

SBs everywhere! Stahp it guise. I can't look at shoes again too.

[Ovoxo]

The most hyped shoes ever

[tsangan]

First Yeezy I thought was pretty sweet but I only liked the black/hot pink colourway though

Didn't have time to line up for like 4 days and the resale was so high I didn't really bother to track a pair down

oh noes, they sit on my feet just perfect with those laces.

[verbhal]

Ovoxo - You sure got that right, the hype around the Yeezy 2's was insane.  I had all 3 of the original colors, but ended up selling the black/pinks.  Also I agree about the Roshe Runs.  They are what I wear pretty much every day when I'm not wearing something crazy.  Such a comfortable shoe, like wearing awesome slippers.

demik - I totally understand the love for the Jordan IV.  It was my first Jordan and will always be special.  I have been grabbing pairs of the retros, but they just aren't the same.  My buddy actually wrote a blog post about my story with the Jordan IV.  He also has some other shoe related posts on there, but he has been so busy he hasn't been able to blog recently.  Check it out http://www.dsicle.com/blog/2011/3/8/sneakerheads-already-know-what-these-kicks-aremdash-an.html

Where you get it from and how much? OMG I can't find any in the UK so sad. Such a pair of sexy shoes.

[fohat.digs]

Whoa!

Soul-searching moment here!

Now, first, I am a 60-year old man, who tends to hang onto things, so my collections are a bit warped.

Perspective: I have been wearing shoes since Harry Truman was president, and still own, and wear (albeit very occasionally), shoes that I bought when Ronald Reagan was president. OK?

So, although I own and love and use, constantly, and prefer, Reagan-era computer keyboards, every keyboard I currently own (with the exception of one Dell AT-101) was bought/found/acquired since Y2K.

But here is my point - I own more pairs of shoes than I do keyboards!

And I absolutely DO NOT consider myself a shoe enthusiast and collector, but I DO consider myself a keyboard enthusiast and collector.

Therefore: I am insane and/or delusional, right?

i am serious and i'm sorry you think sexism is fun

[phetto]

That has nothing to do with sexism. It's a fact that women are notorious shoe collectors. I'm sorry that I hurt the lady inside you.

[sicyo]

I wore Adidas Superstars for probably 10 years but recently I've completely switched over to Onitsuka Tigers. I alternate between these two:




I couldn't believe how comfortable these were, and so light!

look, i asked you nicely, but you're being an ass about this. ask hashbaz, i'm an expert.

if you're going to play dumb, take it to another forum where other dumb people can laugh at your dumb sexist jokes. it's not welcome here.


sicyo -- nice shoes

Link saying it or not, I already knew you'd get it quick being that you are the outspoken Wu-Tang, Heiro, etc fan on the forum. Question was aimed for you to answer, really.

[phetto]

sorry sth, hope we're cool.

on topic:
I've had a couple of nike's in my life, but mainly the lower ones.

So, whats so special about the "Air"? Are they more comfy then other shoes or what?
I would need a couple of comfy shoes accutally. So I've been looking around some, are these any good?
And explain to me whats so good pls





These are a few thats in stock at my local seller


EDIT:

Just realized that I have a couple of Nike wrestling shoes at home somewhere.
Very similar to this model

[tjcaustin]

I'm seeing a lot of people with normal sized feet all up ins.

That being said, I don't have any cool looking shoes at the moment.

[tsangan]

casual friday, ditched the dress shoes   

[jwaz]

I got into sneakers for a sec in highschool... sure didn't keep them in the box though, ruined them skating,

I rocked the low version of this set I scored on a trip to Germany.


Tacky but whatever, GOLD 

[dohboi]

casual friday, ditched the dress shoes   

always wanted a pair. couldn't get myself to spend the money for a pair though.

[Halverson]

Ok, I am the only one who thinks these are hot as hell?


http://sneakerbardetroit.com/2013/02/air-jordan-year-of-the-snake-pack-release-update/

If anyone in the sneaker world knows where these are going to be released...I think the 2nd release was pushed back the 9th...lemme know. I'm in nowhere Ontario and don't think I have any way to get them other than eBay marked up, unless I find some sort of amazing proxy.

I'd buy a pair if they were in bigfoot sizes.

[Halverson]

Bigfoot?

[davkol]

Sharks wear shoes?

[Tym]

I don't quite understand the shoe collectors, but then again most people probably don't understand (not here) my interest in keyboards.

Give me a nice pair of combat boots any day.

[tjcaustin]

Bigfoot?

You're Canadian, that seemed like an apropos comparison to my foot size.

[Halverson]

Sharks wear shoes?

Gotta keep the tail fins clean on the streets!

I don't collect, I wear. I just have an absurd taste, and only expensive limited editions seem to be what I crave.

Bigfoot?

Hah! Well if you are bigger than a 14, yes, bigfoot indeed! I would figure most shoes go up to that size these days.

[Halverson]

^ Yuss! That's what I'm talkin about! Street sharks rock footwear.

Another day of no dress shoes!

13 is what most places top out at.  But it's not just length, it's girth, too (TWSS).  I have a pair of US14 4E feet.  Not impossible, but not easy, especially for fancy shoes.

[MissMurd3r84]

I take a size US 10 - 11 in mens shoes -_-
