Respectfully disagree on looking too deep. Everything in Atlanta is intentional, the details exist for specific reasons. Just seems like an odd shoe to choose, but I can’t say I’d ever identify one shoe model to a specific skin tone.
UPDATE: So Nike gave me the 20% that most of us got for the delayed April (4/2run. I get an email this AM that says they are going to credit me $50 for the delay which is way better then the 10% mentioned above. So 20% off promo for a future order and $50 off the actual NBY order when they ship. Anyone else get this yet?
Yea, was supposed to get mine last Friday but says that now. Looks like they are still in Osaka.
Yup. Stuck in Osaka.
We've got some flight huaraches and some team jordans, too. What's it mean professor?
I’m going to take this as a fun discussion and not anything negative. It means the same thing. Team Jordans have a reputation as being corny, for folks who think they’ve got heat and don’t really understand. I don’t know much about Flight Huaraches but they visually fit right in with Team Jordans. An Air Max SC would’ve made more sense than an AM1.
Yea so you're describing a regular *** high school kid that goes to the mall when he needs a new pair of shoes and picks one he likes off the wall. And in that episode, until the interview with Kevin Samuels' character, Aaron was portrayed as a regular *** white-passing high school kid who plays video games and wants to go to college with his girlfriend. Not sure what his shoe game has to do with that. Air max 1s and flight huaraches don't carry any deep, racial meaning
shoutout to the fab five though.
That could all be the case, I’m cool with my interpretation being wrong and you make a good case. It’s easy to forget that we, the collective sneaker community, look at shoes through a completely different lens than everyone else. I pay attention to shoes on everyone’s feet, in public, on tv, movies, etc.Yea so you're describing a regular *** high school kid that goes to the mall when he needs a new pair of shoes and picks one he likes off the wall.

Most people are not hyper-aware of sneakers the way that we are on niketalk. Go ask Jane Doe at the mall shopping for her kid about air max SCs and flight huaraches and see what she thinks. Team jordans are corny to us but a lot of folks won't look at those three shoes as anything beyond sneakers. You're looking deep into the sneakers because you look deep into every sneaker but that just wasn't the point here. Set and prop designers were making a high school kid and his bedroom, not a niketalker with 5,000 posts
edit: i didn't even know wtf an air max sc was
