Not really a huge sneaker guy, but I have a few.

Picked up my grail - the Saint Laurent Wyatt 40 harness boot in black leather around a month ago, I love these, and the 40mm heel isn't even noticeable wearing them pretty much daily for the past 4 weeks or so, and that's coming from someone who wore low top sneakers all their life. :P





I'll post pics of my entire shoe collection tomorrow.

Right now at $900. I'm not reselling though. Will sit on these like the wing 12's I own too. I'm sitting on these 2 pairs for awhile.

Me too. This year Nike has been releasing some air max heat. Nike truly has a lot of heat from the past that now the new generations want.

Picked these up.

First pair of XR1s. The cage definitely adds stability, but they aren't quiet as comfortable as the other NMDs.

I remember picking up the silver AM97 on sale for $90 a few years ago. Now they are cool again apparently. Drake wears them so now they are a must have.

Honestly I've never been a fan of the XR1's. I do have some but I haven't worn them. This OG colorway should've stayed on the NMD only. I'm not a fan of these at all. In my opinion the most comfortable boost kicks are the Ultra-Boost and Yeezy 350's V1's...

Turning 35 this year and yes I remember when I used to walk into footlocker on a Saturday and walk out with my pair of Jordan's without a hassle. Now that doesn't exist. Regardless of hype or not I love telling my kids about the sneaker culture. I enjoy going to shoe stores and talking to the young generations about it.

You mean just on the the R1. These are NMDs as well.

That's understandable and to be honest the XR1 seems like the least comfortable overall. Not to say it's not comfortable, but the inikis are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn.

I just don't like that sock top thing.

Somewhat interested in yeezys, but I would never buy them out of principle.

You sir are correct. While still nmd the xr1 vs r1 totally different fit and comfort level. Also inikis are very comfortable. The EQT Support. 93/17 also very comfortable.

It never used to be like that. People got shot for Jordans in the 90's and early 2000's. They released Jordan's on Wednesdays but too many kids were skipping school waiting in line, then they started releasing on Saturdays.

Now you can walk into the store and buy whatever Jordan you want months later cause they just sit on the shelves.

Other than the Yeezy's, lots of ugly shoes are selling out in droves.

Yeah in certain parts of USA and where you live. Here in Miami in the 18 years I've been into kicks and buying no shootings what so ever. Also jays that sit lately are weak repetitive stuff. All the hype limited stuff still sells out.

Cool shoes. I really need to try a pair of ultra boost golf shoes.

[Wesley Crusher]

Thoughts on the Alphabounce? Comfortable? They look cool to me and the price is good compared to the Ultraboost.

It's ok. Remember alpha-bounce doesn't have Boost technology

I own a pair of alpha bounce and they are pretty comfortable, not as comfy as UB but still good for the price.
