let's talk about old/weird(?) sneakers

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

curious to see what old sneakers sufuers are into.

nike acg output, old adidas basketball shoes (old basketball shoes in general), running shoes; just generally moments of strange or "out there" sneaker design.

some of these would probably get -rep outright but i figure don't bother being coherent; i'd say doesn't even have to be "sufu approved".

never really had a sneakerhead phase or anything so i had to catch up on the weird sneaker game.

here's some stuff i quite like

adidas x undefeated eqt b-ball (still want these bad)

jordan 6 "oreo" (not so old, liked for a while 'cause i felt they'd be analogous to og dick dunks in v peasant way)

nike air max 2 strong (collar makes it feel a lot like my carnivores)

nike air check (either this or purple tho, bleh)

nike air max speed turf

reebok oxt pump

reebok insta pump fury

nike air revaderchi (these are undercover colorways, grail status imho)

nike air rhyolite (chunky goodness)

let's see em~

you know it's a good shoe when it reminds you of a tachikoma

^waiting for someone in harajuku/someplace or other to buy a pair and turn the world upside down.

edit: always liked air killers but cannot afford.

also really great from dbss are these (and their black canvas counterparts):

some acg stuff this time

nike talaria boot:

nike ashiko:

nike salbis (unreleased T_T):

Insta Pump Fury is soooo underrated. They make my feet feel like they belong on a Gundam or an Evangelion.

These are a little loud, so I never wear them. Apparently they fetch a lot on Y!jp auctions. Kenzo Minami Insta Pump Fury from 2005.

[skeetinmynose]

Where 2 kawp Tachikoma kicks and platform horror punx BDSM Jordans?

Can we rename this into the mecha shoe threak?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

mecha shoe thread. one wonders why i didn't do that to begin with.

i love pump furys. that kenzo minami pair is a difficult wear tho x_x

on the topic of mecha shoes (if you haven't seen this already)

there's also this which isn't quite for me

but yeah. i reiterate my fondness for tallac

and let's not forget this, because tachikomas were mentioned

[wahwho11]

there's also this which isn't quite for me

eva-01 would wear these after listening to wu-tang

i'm not comfortable with my style(or the balls) to wear these shoes in this thread. so big ups to you guys who do.

[skeetinmynose]

I could see Quattro spitting game to Haman Karn in dese

Char Aznable Air Max Tempo

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

@wahwho they're not bad imho. very early visvim vibes and on a vibram sole so i'm under the impression they'd be hardwearing; not really into moc toes tho

@skeet^ those are crazy x_x actual char aznable junts. where dat principality of zeon logo at tho? lol

the tallacs which i'm currently drooling over also come in a similar color but the vibe is somehow more ronald mcdonald than char aznable (here)

weirdly enough there's also a white mountaineering hiking boot in the same red/yellow

[stugots]

Reebok Shaqnosis

Reebok Question x Undefeated

Nike Air Bakin

Nike Air Diamond Fury Mid (Ken Griffey Jr's first shoe i think of many that were to come with nike)

[Vampyrvargfesten]

weird sneakers are great but i have other things i need

but if i could find these for cheap, i would wear em

nike I-95 posite max

(bonus pic):

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

@stugots i liek shaq attaq more tbh.

@vampy yeah i know what you mean. those i-95s are great but they look so clunky i'd want to try b4 buy x_x

[digitaltantra]

used to rock these. comfy as hell back in the days

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

daaaamn air seismics! fukin sick. those imho are great; wish nike would retro (and not on free sole gdi)

how's everyone feeling about air max plus aka air max tuned?

[skeetinmynose]

Dafuq is Nike's obsession with putting Free soles on everything? Huarache Light looks awful with Free soles and so do the new soles on Footscape Wovens (assuming they're inspired by Free).

[wahwho11]

most people prefer slimmer profiled shoes now so they just slap it on everything. it makes them look less like shoes for this thread, to shoes that'll sell. plus it's cheap as fuck to make a billion free soles by now.

[Northwest]

Retros, but they qualify, yee?

[nimo112]

[CASSAVA PIECE]

fuck jordan

[swooc]

id pay a stupid amount of money for another pair of these. they were my first bball sneakers.

pretty much. less tooling problems; the molds/toolings for the soles may have are either dead or degraded severely now. saves costs etc etc

Retros, but they qualify, yee?

yesssssss. was wanting for a while; dbss analog. haha

fuck jordan

uptempos are sickkk. imho difficult tho; very chunky and they'd probably look like dinosaur feet on me lol

[Spaghettini]

thirsted hard for these as a young'n

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^those always make me think of robocop but i like them. would.

these are pretty fun; tried them on the other day.

[hhenryhhh]

Not gonna lie, I might just cave and buy an all white pair of Pump Furys.

You can customize a pair for pretty cheap on the website.
