The Thread About Nothing. SNEAKER EDITION

Kobe should have stayed with adidas

Look at that one shoe that looked like a toaster. ...yea it was weird but it was forward thinking and that was more than 10 years ago.....imagine if they kept progressing to today.

His last 2 sneakers may have been designed by kanye west..

all his adidas design wise are better than his nikes.
 
One of my biggest pet peeves about sneakers is when you're having a conversation about sneakers and someone calls out the wrong year that a sneaker came out. Like for example calling black metallic 5's "'06" >:

I agree completely. It irks me too, even though it probably shouldn't. If I know black metallic 5's dropped in January 2007, then there really is no reason to be discussing production dates unless it's to confirm authenticity. Besides, in most cases, it's generally easier to remember or search on the net for release years than it is to locate production dates, unless you already have the shoe.

Thats why I usually have the problem. If I don't remember the year they come out I check the shoe itself

I want this Jordan Machinists suit so bad. I have an unreleased sample coverall in a similar style that was intended for the XIIIs. I also remember a black/red and olive/red one they made for the XVIs. I'd love to find that one somewhere. I remember people talking real bad on it, calling it the Jordan "Garbage Man" suit, but I always thought coveralls were dope.
