this may take a while. And with the normal lunacy and tangents.I started the blog because eGAY is a joke. Im not even talking about the absurd fees and 3 skillion rules. I wanted to sell my shoes. I had 100% feedback but never had sold anything. But had bought plenty so i had over 500 positives and 0 negative. So i list shoes and all off a sudden they wont let me list more than 10 or 15 "nike" shoes. This is because of two reasons. Ones there rules are absurd and they claim to be preventing fraud when its tough to find a pair of nikes that isnt fake on ebay for the most part. And two, there were two sellers who have been selling on ebay for a long time and unfortunately make their living from it. Or whatever they feel is a living by reselling shoes on ebay for a few bucks here and there while they still live at their parents house. (nothing wrong with that by the way). I lived with my mom for two years recently trying to get back on my feet. Point being they are jerkoff power sellers or some garbage like that. So they have a voice on ebay and there complain will be heard. Anyways, ebay stops me from using "nike" "air force" "dunk" "sb" "air" "jordan" in any auction title until i sell the shoes up and have positive feedback. Which i did of course so i go to list again and im still blocked because eGay is still looking into 2 filed complaints by resellers who didnt want me selling my shoes on ebay. So eGay finally says i can sell but can only list 5 or 7 "nike" shoes a month for the next 90 days until another review period. So i decided to go to wordpress.com and do a blog. And i had advice and fine tuning from a few people as far as listing shoes by style size and category on the right hand column of the blog so anyone can search a particular category and sub category and size. Basically i just went to flightclub.com and ripped what they do although its not rocket science or unique to them but because i have a pretty large collection and its made of many styles i could create my own flight club.Originally Posted by DublBagn
hey corgi.....how did you get the blog started, I know I have been saying I would eventually buy something from you and I still will (tuned air's to be exact), but I think I am going to try and do what you are doing. I have around 500 pairs, no time to wear them all, and more important things that need tending to (house, dog, soon to be wife, and a new car)....I was just wondering how you got the word out about your blog? any info would be great....
the skillion $ question is the money shot. Its crazy that a neon 95 from 03 meaning a nice clean version of the OG is understated. its crazy to me the direction things have gone. Anyone named the godfather can do whatever they want. They can wear two different colorway shoes like tmac circa the 03 all star game!Originally Posted by jwdanklefs
To answer the skillion $ Q - I was the most understated of everyone I think, I just wore my 03 retro neon 95s...Originally Posted by BubbaEla1
sweet. glad the event was a success because i know you guys (and girls) put a lot of work into it. Thats a large turnout. Good to see lots of shoe enthusiasm in san antonio and the surrounding areas. You starting on next years already!? Let me know when the pics are up on your blog/NTOriginally Posted by jwdanklefs
Oh ya man, it was this passed Sunday and it was very successful...
Maybe 800 or a 1000 people came through...
We definitely had the most fun we have ever had as well as had the best displays...
Some AMFAM came in as well...
It was great...
Pics will be up soon...
and for the skillion $ question....what shoes did you wear? and did anyone switch shoes and wear multiple pairs like a bride at a wedding does with dresses.
Some people were twisted when I didnt come in wearing some kinda of crazy "heat" but I figured what the hell, can't go wrong with neon 95s...
As for someone changing during the show, not to drop him in the grease but I think Fred (T21D) changed at some point... The god father can do that though...
thanks dude. just try to be honest and tell it how i see it on a daily basis.Originally Posted by jaytthelegend
^Your the man Corgi!

i was surprised the command forces were in that condition. i call em pristine. Sometimes the shoes hold , sometimes they dont. I never do anything special to store the shoes. I truly dont think keeping them in ziplock bags does much because then theres no air so the shoe will just dry out and crumble. Or acid free paper or silica packs, etc etc. One thing i do know is that at some point they always turn bad. So wear em or sell em before they do. But point being command forces are a pretty cool shoe and even better when after 20+ years they still look brand new

where's the heat....I didn't see any pics.
do i pass the "heat" test. in my mind i do because every shoe i have bought or came across is (i hate this term) "heat". As should 123% every single pair that you have ever bought or anyone for that matter. And if every shoe you buy isnt "heat" then theres a big problem. And if you cant buy a shoe you like because its not deemed "heat" by the shoe gods and message board peanut galleries then thats an even bigger problem.Originally Posted by mitysneakrjunky

No worries sir. Thanks as always for the support. Asics are great runners. Id say right up there with new balance as long as it suits your foot needs. But quality and durability are the same. Also Brooks has some great shoes. Case in point. Look at the shoes at a marathon. You see the swoosh. But for the most part you see asics, new balance, brooks, saucony, etc etc. Then you'll see reebok, adidas, and nike.Originally Posted by vegetaray123

Comp took a nose dive and lost everything...I'll get it re-posted at some point as I've fallen in love and subsequently out of love with Asics yet again...Thinking NB's are the only sneakers I was destined to wear for eternity...At any rate free bump for Corgi...
of course i have to agree. I tend to search for the less acknowledged models in an attempt to bring them some more appreciation. I've been picking stuff up the past year or two that nobody really cares about, which is fine by me as prices stay nice and cheap. here's a few of my less popular nike running purchases:Originally Posted by BubbaEla1
G tothe A./D.A.F. if you gave me a choice between the air max 24/7 or the burst pictured or a burst in general from pre 2003 id much rather have the burst. Thats just my personal preference and taste. I still am amazed at the lack of interest in shoes like the burst. Or the total lack of interest/acknowledgment of shoes like the air max triax, air max deluxe, air max sirocco. The deluxe was an amped up 97, the sirocco was what led to everyones favorite air max plus with the tuned air, and the air max triax will always be a staple of the nike visible air bubble program. And the burst...well the burst was that shoe with the huge air unit before anything else. Good stuff everyone. Thanks for your thoughts and contributions. Anyone have questions for me whether you agree or disagree with me or thoughts or wanna show a shoe please feel free. This trread is for the people. Thank you mods for allowing it to be what it is.
You and me both!Originally Posted by BubbaEla1
