just don't get covering dope shoes up with jeans, especially on a shoe like these trainers, why would you cover up the beautiful eye catching tongues on these? that's where most of the color is on this shoe...
why would you cover up that beautiful jumpman flight tongue on those white cement 4's?
why does tim wear bootcut jeans that cover up most of the whole damn shoe?
just your preference... it's what looks nice to you... just like i got preference, not everyone is gonna see eye to eye, and not one way is definitively right or wrong.
but the way cats go at people sometimes tho, it's as if they think everyone should dress just like them.
everything would be mad boring if everyone dressed the same...
this. i pop the tounge out on all my shoes. wearing them that way do the shoes the most justice IMO

that's what i'm saying. i care more about my shoes than the jeans. hell, first thing i do is figure out what shoes i'm gonna wear, then figure out the rest. def not gonna just cover up the shoe with jeans and pants. it just doesn't look right to me.
what kills me worse than boot cuts covering up the shoes is these dudes on iss wearing super skinny jeans and forcing the shoe into the jeans to cover the tongue. the back of the jeans will sit on top of the back of the shoe and/or hug their leg just so they can stuff the tongue inside (on bulkier shoes it looks hilarious). and somehow these people really think that looks better than letting the tongue out.

lol I think it looks even worse on bulkier shoes such as Yeezys, Trainers, and some Jordans. popping the tounge out is just something we have always done here in Chicago. its a way of life, if you willOriginally Posted by DJ Proto J

Tongues tucked in or out. I'll do both depending on my mood and shoe. Straps, though.....always have to have them secured.

depends on the shoe for me... on my black LV jaspers i ended up liking them both strapped and unstrapped, but most of the time i prefer them unstrapped (no rainbow)...
but these trainers, i just knew they'd look mad cool unstrapped imo.
glad my 2 angle shoe shots came in handy and inspired some people.

Best pop you ever did geeza.
On a side note, the straps actually fit and dont choke your feet until they turn your toes blue on these, so no need to un hitch them. Purely a fasion thing, and i like em done up. Each to their own though, i drive with the gull wing doors closed though you know....

These may be the only retro trainer that you can tongue pop. After having owned many of the others for years and never doing it, I doubt I change those habits. Although I've wanted to do it on a few shoes and couldn't, so to have that option now is a true +.
I believe the original sc III (auburns) you had a nice tongue height. But they shortened them on the retros...
The beauty of these is that you have that outrigger providing enough color. The tongue is merely a bonus

UPS tried to deliver my Infrareds from NDC but I missed the delivery.Oh well ill have them tomorrow. Wore my Citrons again today and the shoe is getting comfier by the wear. Also, the leather is getting softer too, although only creasing minimally on the sides. Toebox still look CRISP.
thanks for the feedback on the photoshop guys, it's fun photoshopping these into acceptable colorways that could have easily replaced the garbage the tried to force feed us.

Nice find. It looks like I haven't changed a bit. lol
Some of those photos are page 2
Even with an almost perfect retro, I marvel at the OG pairs time and time again.
