Osiris D3's are somewhat irrelevant, but I just have to post them here. Everybody wore these shits when I was growing up:

i dont kno the technical aspects of these, but they fugly.  they look like fat caterpillar

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

gndm, I was just about to post my last remaining pair of DBSS...THOSE shoes in blue.

 

Sole is different from mine though, yours seems to have the high top soles, whereas mine have a more plain sole. Maybe an update? I only remember seeing red, black, and blue colorways.

ah the sole that's on their converse looking ones from a season or two ago plus those jordan-y ones blackbird used to stock? i've come across those while doing my research on these things. no idea what the deal is, seriously hahaha.

wow. i'd have thought seeing spring courts like that would make me angry but i somehow dig them x_x

ah, yes. these definitely belong here. ridiculous, huge, and fkn ugly.

but i kinda find them charming x_x there're some willhelms that have similar eyelets too. the ones from this f/w do, plus his rope trainers... 

EDIT: 

my cousins handed me this really odd looking pair of sneakers made by... speedo of all brands. trippy but past that i just do not know. will take photos of soon x_x

[SSchadenfreude]

if worn in the proper context certain fessura are kewl

[skeetinmynose]

gndm, these are how mine look - fake or not, I would prefer the soles on yours WAY more.

^that sole unit's not bad tho, hahaha. 

saw jordan 8s yesterday. i don't understand why i keep wanting a pair to wear into the ground x_x 

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

bumping for some air max junts this time 

nike air dt max 96 (this colorway due for re-release this year apparently)

 

nike air force max cb 

 

nike air force max (just stumbled upon someone selling white/black pair)

[baphomet]

saw some shoes from this thread today, thinking about going back and getting these in particular

 

 

they had the iverson's from 96 in there too...

[DJ_Flame]

that lanvinz is ughs.

[yoda91]

^ those pump looks like marvel x reebok's spiderman colourway

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^close but not quite; these are spiderman 

which i would very heavily discourage 

those ones baphomet's looking at are pretty good and i say do it. sorta. black/red not really up my alley somehow.

i liek tallac lite a lot. 

[PRC.]

If you're still thinking about kopping 8s. Get the Aquas.

Or maybe these black grapes?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

only 8s that're easy to get around here are the bugs bunny ones. meh.

[PRC.]

Forgot about those...

Would buy.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^seriously speaking tho, is jordan brand's quality that bad nowadays? idgaf about creasing or whatever 'cause they'll be to beat, but then what about midsole blowouts or separation or paint chipping or whatevs x_x

edit: v rare nike air zoom citizen 


here's a great ad for it

and here's the reason why i got interested in jordans
kolor sneaker from s/s 11 (ss 11 lookbook v inspirational to me but that brand's all over the place x_x)

wanted citizens so bad as a kid. what were the cross training ones with vis zoom that came out at the same time? those too

[DickOvens]

lightning bolt TNs

Want to get my hands on these or the bootleg Burberry ones

i know citizens have vis zoom or something... not sure about those crosstrainers tho. in 1999 i cared only about what transformers i could buy and blahblahblah. clothes were just there so that i wouldn't leave the house naked lol

buuuut

searching for nike alpha project stuff (which the citizen was part of) yields some interesting things

nike air fantaposite 

 

unless you mean zoom haven? (wait no, no vis zoom here... where they hi tops or something? lol)

also there's the air chapuka, which i first saw on flock's tumblr

i just want the white gradient ones ;_;

iunno. would rather the bugs bunny ones. pricetag kinda ridiculous tho, like getting AM 95s would be cheaper and better for me in the long run x_x

[Denton]

 

i think these are them.  air zoom seismic.  i remember the laces were partially covered by the upper so you couldn't re-lace them but i don't remember them being so ugly

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

oh! those are in this thread; approx two pages back. laces were in a pocket inside what should have been the tongue so they were kind of useless or something.... man. 

 

iunno about you but i'd totally wear a pair; think they look gr8 ;_;

these belong here


i actually also really dig lol

[SSchadenfreude]

i want nike city knife 2s 

Edited May 10, 2013 by Woogle

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

i want nike city knife 2s 

 

that is some kooky ass shit. feels like i'm staring at a sock that's been covered in ultra-thin sole pieces.

fuk a roshe run; get all black city knife 2. #NinjaAsFuk

[Northwest]

I am all about that neoprene.

 

Nike Air Current

[Denton]

more alpha project. trainerposite max. that damn zipper would never stay in place

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

@northwest air currents are kewl. better than air flows imho. 

@denton nice. better looking than fantaposite. you had a pair?

so many of the shoes in this thread i was too young to remember ever seeing when they came out x_x

you guys have probably seen this on tumblr 
nike free design from 1994; different beast entirely 

via http://garywarnett.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/tinkering/

also not so weird but fairly old
here's the colorway of the adidas amerciana hi for those of you that want to get your daft punk swag on 

sadly toebox on newer release of the americana hi is very sleek and pointy it seems. imho loses some of its power without that aggro toebox. just nitpicking tho.
