What would even be the minimum price on baller shoes/boots? Like $700? 1k? It would be an interesting thread indeed. I nominate Eck to start one!


I think 700usd is fine, we could call it something like: The official BALLER boot/shoe thread 700usd minimum

What do you guys think?

^That's cool. I don't want sneakers in there though, there's already a sneaker thread. So in the description make sure you stipulate it's like for boots/derbies/etc. and NO dress shoes. That'll be dumb to see a 2k pair of Augustas and then some bozo from MC comes in and posts John Lobbs cuz he wants to feel like a baller.

LMAO at the first two pictures in that thread. *I can't wait until RFX and E share Presidency of the 'Baller Shoe Club' and anybody that qualifies (3+ baller pairs?) and posts a picture to help the threads can have a cool line in their signature. Hahahaha

Well I doubt you guys police the postings that closely anyways and I'm sure styleforum-style ridicule will scare away the plebes.


I'm fine with whatever- I'll wait for others to chime in: 700 or 500usd? I personally don't care to police it at all-

I have no horse in this, but if you make the limit $500 you're going to get tons of PS and Aldens in there. If you want to make it more exclusive (i.e. interesting), go for $700.
