Some people collect Nike skate shoes.....

They just look like a low top version of the old Air Jordans to me.

actually most of them are low top basketball shoes... air force 1's

I had these -

and these, but swore there was black too. I couldn't find them on this site, which appears to cover all of the bases -

I guess this is my main problem. Why is it that you think you know so much more? What qualifies you to classify anyone else as ignorant? Do you have a degree in sociology or economics? From where Im sitting...you're a roofer. What do you know? I happen to value your opinion alot of the time (one of the few around here) and agree with it more than you know; but for you to all of a sudden claim mental superiority is something of an insult. I made no broad generalizations, you just took the bate.
To be honest, I started this thread to ruffle a feather or two. I knew that someone would eventually relate gold teeth, nikes and low paying jobs to black people. I intentionally did not make that point, as I was curious to see how long it would take to swing that way on its own. Funny how the non-racists are the first to relate the stereotypes.
It's not meant as a shock thread. Or a troll. Just to make a cross section of how the community around here thinks; on an interesting topic.

Point taken but then find where such a statement really connatates mental superiority. Another point of view is what it is, based on equal footing. And just as you supposedly set a trap for others to fall into thru misinterpretation you yourself are guilty in thinking that i don't personally feel i am without my faults including being ignorant of a great many things, both in the past and present. Unless i have to always put a disclaimer before i make a bold statement that could be percieved as me crowing up on my perch.
But the very fact that this thread has devolved to such a "serious" peice of garbage, and the very fact that i respect you enough to actually make an effort to comment makes me shudder since on the surface this is the stupidest most judgemental least important topic i've ever put a little effort in participating in.

For that you owe me.....

Well this certainly shows that idiots and Air Jordans gravitate toward each other.

Do you think that ruffling feathers as a way to open conversations gets more honest answers than a more straightforward gambit?

I have been puzzled by your provocative openers.

Absolutely!

Nothing spells the truth like a knee-jerk reaction.

Dave's just jealous, dreaming of moving up the ladder to just 'poor' from his Pacific Island reed hut...

MMMmmm. You want them, don't you Dave? You'd have the finest footware for 1000 miles!

A friend of mine owned a pair. This is a great story: he was a white suburban dude trying to go urban, and he was a vegan to boot. So these were the only cool sneakers without leather.

Anyway, he could not afford the $120 price tag, so he got his girlfriend to buy them, and he paid her back $20 a month.

We used to call it the Jordan payment plan.

I have no issue with other points of view. Only that you expressed yours as a truth that I somehow hadnt been exposed to; when in fact it was nothing of the kind. Whether it's the assumption that I either (a) havent looked into the topic enough to fully understand it or (b) am too blinded by my own dogma to realize it; it was an ignorant statement to make because you dont know which, either or niether. You just assumed one. That, i think, is something of an insult to my intelligence.
Im not offended anymore, BTW.

Check here. The website is a pain.

 

[partsbara]

i have nothing to add, except that people who 'collect' nikes should be killed...

This thread was a good idea.

“You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never to get involved in a land war in Asia. And only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!”

Whatever i'm gonna start calling you Vazzini from now on....

I disagree. Some retards are not even worth viewing their incomprehensible drivel. There are a couple of those on my ignore list.

I know someone who has a spiffy pair of MJs.

And your point is? I don't have any gold teeth, nor do I work at a wendys in the ghetto.

But if the opportunity ever arises...you'll be ready...

Nah, those are gym shoes only.

You should though...
That could be your "thing" when you start your practice that will set you apart from everybody else. I can see your sign now.....

Oh damn that is funny. That alone makes this thread worthwhile. As for the rest of it:
