Been looking into some BIFL boots and am pretty sure on a pair of Vibeg but the price is deterring me a bit. Anyone own a pair of Vi's care to comment on whether they are worth the purchase?

Tsangan looking fresh over here.

A standard unit of length, used in the civilised part of the world.

iri · « **Reply #105 on:** Tue, 05 February 2013, 14:30:44 »

in non-civilised too... except for three countries.

Halverson · « **Reply #106 on:** Tue, 05 February 2013, 14:38:10 »

Got a new pair of kicks in the mail today! Going to probably wait until after spring to wear them, don't want all the slush and salt to ruin them right now.

Not sure, check out their site.
Btw, those shoes aren't any leather, more like a suede fabric.

anything by Keep Company are the best shoes ive had

verbhal · « **Reply #111 on:** Wed, 06 February 2013, 01:21:59 »

I wore the Cav Fanatics (I call them Redskins heh) LeBron VII's for my 30th this Saturday. Another super limited pair.

They matched my cake real nice.

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 can try to proxy for you, i don't like them, but i do like the Melo 9 colorway they have lol
but i ain't waiting on line for any of them, if they for sale online, i'll grab one then ship to you if you want.

I myself just got a pair of Jordan 1 Chicagos, but i won't wear them till after the slush season.
Work-shoes right now are Timbs when its slushy/snowing/raining, and my comfortable Ecco shoes for normal time.
Casual is my Reebok Ziggtek, the ziggtek shoes are surprisingly comfortable lol

*EDIT*

hype for today is the Jordan 3 88 Cement release, goes for sale 4:51 EST at $200.00 online only
lets see the computer servers crash haha

Halverson · « **Reply #113 on:** Wed, 06 February 2013, 14:12:33 »

^thanks for the offer, but if they are for sale online I'm sure I'll be able to try and snag a set. My mum actually told me at the footlocker close to her place in SLC was having a giveaway for a set. Maybe I'll win a pair? Hah

Yea, it gets crazy...never though people would probably riot for shoes. Although so many sick releases coming out so soon.

Grabbed the 88's online luckily. Lots of people on Twitter were very unhappy though.

MissMurd3r84 · « **Reply #118 on:** Wed, 06 February 2013, 22:14:47 »

Ok, so usually I wear dark shoes, mainly black with hardly any colour on them other than maybe a tick or something, so recently I decided to change that sort of, I got some shoes in the post today, they are inspired by Oscar the Grouch;

and last week I got these;

and yeah, as you can see, I am not into real girly shoes

rowdy · « **Reply #119 on:** Wed, 06 February 2013, 22:17:13 »

Or maybe inspired by CCnG (first one) and Toxic (second one)?

Haha, actually, looks like it, but apparently the silver/grey is meant to represent Oscar's trashcan and the green is him. *Shrug*

Our Footlockers here are over-priced. It's cheaper for me to purchase from Eastbay.

Halverson · « **Reply #123 on:** Sat, 09 February 2013, 07:50:53 »

On their way to me! Can't believe I got my order in, they sold out fast

Was like a CC sale! F5 F5 F5 F5!

Almost wasn't even able to succeed, turns out they don't like Canadian VISA or paypal. Good thing my mum was up at 5am and gave me her credit info. It always pays to have family in the states

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #124 on:** Sat, 09 February 2013, 09:06:13 »

Ones on the right are nice Halvy. So I guess that's what it takes to get proper sized shoes for the tailfins huh? Seems like a lot of work...F5'ing, proxies, and apparently you have a momma shark?

I was so crazy getting up for those shoes...thank goodness I ended up getting them!!! I really am not good at 8 am.

Those Red/white ones are hot (sorry for my proper terms, I'm new to shoes).

Infrared 90s, very nice xredman classic shoe.

Also glad you were able to pick up your shoes Halv! Some pretty crazy ones. Finishline just had a pretty crazy restock on some stuff the other day, some were saying to cheer people up for missing out on the 88's.

Am I think only one who doesn't understand the apparently huge following for late 80s, early 90s high tops? They just look huge, clunky, and ungainly to me.

I don't ever see them out and about, but it's every other post in here it seems

fohat.digs · « **Reply #137 on:** Sun, 10 February 2013, 16:18:31 »

I am not into shoes, at all, being a grumpy old man, but I never liked high tops.

My feet tend to be hot and sweaty, and they just seemed all the more constricting.

I can see how they "look" pretty wicked, but I buy shoes for comfort.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #138 on:** Sun, 10 February 2013, 17:09:07 »

You live in ATL and you're not seeing these type of shoes? Seems impossible.

sicyo · « **Reply #139 on:** Sun, 10 February 2013, 18:07:30 »

Yeah... I even live downtown. I think I've seen a couple guys at work with similar shoes but it's not every other person.

what did you pay for the ones on the right? they look like the sneaker equivalent of nail polish keycaps... so i'm imagining they were marked up about 20x

Halverson · « **Reply #141 on:** Sun, 10 February 2013, 18:30:27 »

Lol thanks sth!
They were $300 for both, so $150 for either pair.

It's really just a red clown nose and whipped cream frills.

Is that how I'm supposed to look for you when we finally meet Halvy? Those wild shoes, a red noise, and covered in whipped cream?
