Are there fake kings crown out there?

no and if there were, they would be hilariously off. just look at last year's fake ext's.

in fact, if you get fooled by ANY fake 11's you should retire.

Its been colloquializede and most people use it as unworn. Ya know like if someone says he kicked the bucket, they usually mean someone died, not someone just kicked a bucket. Most of us know where it comes from, but all of us know how it's used, I don't understand why people try and make this argument...


In other news no %off for my spotted sole kings crowns, but nike is sending a 25 dollar gift card.

Not trying to make any argument actually, I understand what it means, is supposed to mean, means when we're in the 3rd lunar rotation of Mars...but my point was our boy here gamerg been talking about vacuum sealing his shoes and preserving his icey soles with Rain X sealer etc, and he is entitled to keep his kicks fresh however he sees fit, but when his questions kept going and going and then the sole never touched a floor...well I threw that in...I will respectfully ask for my $.02 back

DS isn't used properly and hasn't for years now, can we get over the fact that 95% of the sneaker community uses it wrong when you know good and well what their intention is by using the term.

THIS. Except not 95%, more like 99.99%. And tbh its been used to mean brand new since the 90s so get over it

When all of the public is using it as a different term and you're still trying to hold on to the old definition, you're just annoying. Its like saying you feel "gay" as in happy... Go for it

 

[redrum3281]

B, how old are you?

DS has ALWAYS meant never worn. Am I getting this old? My prime sneaker days was when SB's were popping, NEVER have I heard anyone used the term deadstock meaning "no longer in stock" for ANY shoe.

Whats going on nowadays?

33 but this isn't my only hobby, it's just the only one where i've seen DS used like this, toys my other passion TFs and action figures, DS is used properly but has been dropped recently for the BNIB term or used, or played with

We're all just waiting for you to post an on-foot picture like this.

we already have it.. Football players do this..

 

[louytromps]

Just got my Kings Crown in.

Uppers are perfect but the soles have those black stains.

 

[bigj505]

^^^ that's how my pair is. Doesn't bother me at all tho.

 

[thetrillionaire]

Same here, doesn't bother me. No one sees it and once they get a little dirty it'll just blend in anyways.

 

[gamerg]

So i have a rare pair.. No spots..

 

[super t1ght]

If anyone should have a flawless sole, it's GamerG

 

[macstizo]

lol

 

[louytromps]

Doesn't bother me at all either.

I was more concerned about the upper suede being dry and ashy but like I mentioned, my uppers are perfect.

Overall I love the shoes.

 

[gamerg]

If anyone should have a flawless sole, it's GamerG

indeed.. if i had a spot on the shoes that i paid good money for.. back to NDC.

 

[bigj505]

So i have a rare pair.. No spots..

It's plenty of pairs posted in here that didn't have the spots.

 

[gamerg]

It's plenty of pairs posted in here that didn't have the spots.

[dar228]

you say performance from the standard xi line but i wouldn't play in ext's.

I would. Ive played a few games of 21 in hazelnuts. There was a time when leather and suede was the norm on a basketball shoe.

im not sure its the leather and suede that make them "non basketball" shoes. its more or less the lack of padding and the casual lacing that is used.

 

[rchavez23]

Should I jump on kc for $300 shipped?

 

[bigj505]

Should I jump on kc for $300 shipped?

my pair cost me like $260 or so after 6% tax. $300 is pretty much that + paypal fees and shipping. not a bad price IMO.
