I don't think it's about being elitist (people here talk about nikes all the time), it's just that those particular color schemes don't do it for the members here.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of loud nikes either. But the point of the thread was to post sneakers.

This is the type of remark that I was talking about in my previous post. Real intelligent, go read my post again. I dress pretty basic, but I enjoy seeing what other people wear even if I'm not a fan of it.

I agree..certain forums have their own style, but I'm not just talking about this post there's been other people that I see come to this forum and get ridiculed and end up not coming back that I think would benefit the forum if they stayed. More opinions and diversity doesn't hurt anything.

Haha, thanks for the advice dude. I enjoy the forum, so I'm not going to leave though. I read more than just this forum. Just disregard my first post, I don't want anyone to cry here.

Variety may be the spice of life but this place doesn't have to open minded 100% of the time just to please everyone. If there are enough members to make this thread worthwhile then so be it. It's fine, it's just that there might be other places with more members who openly express similar tastes.
This is a really good point that should be re-iterated whenever someone new doesn't like everything that people say about thier fits, esp the hb stuff.

L.A Guy: I wish superga made hightops, the all black leather Formula Uno is pretty awesome, and would be perfect in a high.

Maybe that's why the majority of people on this forum wear really boring clothes. I can only take so much basic tee, jeans, basic sneaker. I don't even wear anything nuts either, I am a pretty basic guy, but just because someone comes in wearing something different than you doesn't mean you have to ridicule them.

Then I asked your stupid ass this:
