NIKE Thread

Nice. Really want the Amsterdams.

The quality on these are amazing...I feel like I’m going to have to pick up the Amsterdam's too now...I have Kentucky SB’s on the way currently.

Nike hit it out of the park with the Londons and Amsterdams

Doesn't the sole peel off and the glue fail on those older shoes? My older sneakers (even as recent as 2002) tend to separate.

+1. I had a couple of pairs of Nikes (Air Max variants) that I bought back in the 1990s and early 2000s where the soles essentially started breaking down into dust over 2-3 years and the Air bladder lost its gas. I also had a pair of New Balance shoes (not a classic model, but a more modern-looking cross-training model) that I bought in about 2002 that started to self-destruct after a couple of years of pretty mild wear.

Surprising - but good - to hear that some models are holding up well after 20+ years.

do people take their typical nike size in non-sb dunk lows?

For the most part, yes.

I also find new Dunks fit smaller than previous.

For example, I could fit a size 10 in my 2013 Viotech but I struggle to squeeze into my size 10 Viotech from 2019.

Anyone selling size 10.5 OW UNLV lows?

haha, nah, i haven't


they're asking $600+ for my size (8.5)

i think the absolute max i'd pay is $450 (with tax and shipping and everything), but we'll see how desperate i get i guess

man that's a lot for the storm blues. I got 2 pairs back when they released and returned one of them. can't drop that much for a pair of sneakers. but if you love them, you only live once.

I'd love to own a pair of Shattered Backboard 1.0s... they have to re-release at some point, right? Right?

edit: and the UPS man just showed up with my Court Purples ?

 

[verver]

Nice. Should receive my court purples tomorrow. Yes, need shattered backboard 1.0 and unions. But waaaay more than I’m willing to pony up.... sigh

got the moon racers on steep sale from Nike, very underrated. Like them a lot
