This post popped in my head this morning. I was listening to a sneakers podcast (i know, i know) and one of the guy commented on how things are just really boring right now. They covered all the releases for 2 weeks and the whole group was like "yea i know nothing about any of those" and I had to agree. Nike doesn't have anything that's remotely must have right now. People like to bring up Virgil, but damn The 10 was 7 years ago. The hype was dying before he passed, tbh. Same with Travis, I think we're in year 7 of that too. NB and Asics are trying but it's a lot of random things i know nothing about and don't care about. Things really are just boring right now. I'm not a "sneakers are dead" guy but we're definitely in a lull right now.
They have had good ideas that draw interest and create hype but they dont stick with them. Bringing back a popular Air Max for Air Max day every year should have been a no brainer but they did it like once and that was it.
They had that design contest like 8 years ago and some heat came out of that, then never did it again. They just take a popular silo, bring it back and then beat it into the ground until it’s fully dead.
Call me crazy but I think over charging for shitty release with shitty material hurt the market. Teasing everyone with rereleases and then bringing out something completely different hurt too. Nike will always be king but I swear NB’s quality blows Nike out the water.
Yea basic am1 has gone from $110-130 to $140-160 since like 2020. Yea NB quality is definitely better but you're also in that $200-240 range on a lot of them too. I was surprised to see that Kith one was only $130 retail though. idk what that model is.
9060 is my only NB that I buy and they are only 150. I know those aren’t for everyone but the materials on the blue pair I was gifted is amazing. The thing about Nike and other brands is that imo remember just my Nike has a wider range of options they have a ton of different silhouettes whereas the silhouettes of other brands are extremely similar or only have one that’s worth a damn. For example, I love puma but only their suedes are cool imo.
Yea honestly all Adidas and NB and Asics just run together for me. You could put a Samba and a Gazelle next to each other and I couldn't tell the difference. Same with all of the #'s on the NB. A lot of that is due to me just being a Nike/Jordan guy but still.
the world is ending we are agreeing too much and actually staying on topic. Quick someone post about replicas
The Olympics am1 came in today and to me the quality is trash. The toe is not smooth on my left shoe. There was also no paper in my box watch from looking online is not the norm. Terrible qc missing that
Compared to an offer now lol. $76.76 more expensive today than it was to buy the same priced shoe back then bc of their fees.
All my ultra boosts that I have bought a crazy discounts are finally starting to wear out. One is a yard shoe and the other is a work out shoe. Just have one pair left so need another but these would be for working out and stuff so color way doesn’t matter just looking for best price as they are comfy shoes but not 220 dollars for beaters
wife wants the Bronson rose waters if I can get them when the re-release happens any sneaker nerd knowledge of where they will be for sale is appreciated, I assume just NB website but last time I thought that I was wrong and didn't get them
Theyll be on NB website and maybe another release on Bronson’s website too. I dont think anyone knows for sure but it looks like some retailers might have them but i would assume it wont be many. Maybe places like Kith and Concepts and those type places. If they do they probably wont say for a few more days yet.
Anyone ever ordered from Poizon? Found these and it’s the only site I can find them on in a 12. https://www.poizon.com/product/adidas-stan-smith-white-bronze-strata-577061040
My juggsian research has concluded that it’s a StockX-like site that caters to the Chinese market. Seems mostly legit and if I’m being honest I don’t think they’d fake those.
Embarrassing post from these guys. Those are faaaaaaaake. Way too orange the tongue only says Nike on real pairs, not Nike SB. Bad bad bad fake.
Haha na he can wear what he wants, for all I know the video was meant as a joke. But a sneaker account posting them and captioning as 40k shoes bc they don't know any better is really bad by them.
Obviously a joke. But, also kinda lame. If you don’t care what anyone wears, why try to put someone on blast for wearing replicas/fakes?
