got myself some new basketball shoes today... Nike Vandal Supremes. apparently they're very popular in japan, because they sell for upwards of $150 US online... i got mine for $65

pictures of the style are at http://www.57fw.com/category/nike/1045501512.html

edit: just noticed that at the link listed above these shoes cost 18,800 yen... how many US dollars is that?

i'm just waiting for some stuff to get done so I can load that link... but they sound cool

I wear some Fila basketball shoes... got em' last year.... some reason shoes last a long time around me I just don't like to get new ones all the time...

I'm thinking of taking a second look at those skateboard shoes next time i'm in the market (probably before next year starts)... any thoughts?

Maybe its just me being over 30 but those nikes look like crap to me.

I can't add much to this topic, but... My SE/30 came from Nike.


Ok, I'll go back under my rock now...

Ah the old school converse, didnt that company close shop in the US recently and now some phillipinos are making the shoes?

My old old boss used to wear the old red converse because he thaught it was trendy at the time (maybe 4 years ago). I always buy what I like could care less of trends (engineers are not known for fashion statements).

I usually keep a pair of shoes for a year or 3... these one shoes I just got rid of this/last year... those ones'd be on their 3rd or 4th year with me living out their duty now just as lawnmowing shoes (or then when i got rid of them)

I always wear a sweater... here in AZ I might not though... but not wearing my trademark Integra Sweater detracts from the overall IntegraNess of me ((Integra was dad's company)

Being an old fart I rarely wear shoes out, I just get tired of them or they get too scuffed for me and get replaced.

So basically a pair of tennis shoes last 2-3 years.

Personally i wear newrocks, I don't think they have mine on thewebsite anymore though and i can't be bothered taking a picture right now. They're really good solid boots, and remarkably comfy. I'm on my 3rd pair each has lasted about 2 years before i've sold them, deffinetly made to last. Of course you'd hope so at around 140 USD a pair

I had a pair of boots last year... always I had wanted to get boots... I ended up never wearing them that much because... I guess it just wasn't one of those things that you wouldn't get made fun of for.. I still have them and when I remember what they were....
