YOURS = Priceless. Adidas should put them on display in the entrance of their headquarters.
Some other schmuck with the same shoes - probably around $5.

I have some unworn size 11 shoes I would be happy to send to you - if you would wan't/wear them.

99, the cool thing about taking gutter up on this offer is there's a decent chance you get a pair of KU Athletics surplus, maybe even with a signature or something.

Of course, the scary thing about taking gutter up on this offer is there's a better chance you get a pair of shoes that a hobo discarded in a McDonald's garbage can.

i got some good shit from Gutter…he’s good peeps in my mind

The feeling is mutual Trad.

Better chance 99 winds up with the scary things over the cool ones.

He just sent me a photo of his 3 year old Adidas. They look like blue stripes (not black) to me and I don't see any grass stains on them. Do you?

Gutter sent me a pair of KU sneakers once kind of a mid top with a Football pattern on the edge. pretty dang cool. I've moved like 6 times since then I need to find them and break them out.

gutters solid.

This post sucks without pictures.

I have no doubt gutter is a good dude. Fancy kicks would be lost on 99. I don't get the fascination while understanding my interests are lost on others. Rock on kicks-philes.

I have fancy. I have dull. I have in-between. I know you don't need me to hook you up but I would be happy to send you a pair (wearable - in that they wouldn't be embarrassing) if you would like. We can/will discuss at another time.

I became interested in sneakers at an early age when Nike and Adidas first released shoes.
I'm pretty sure I had a pair of every shoe that Nike and Adidas released.
Today, if I had kept up on that and had the $ to do as such, I figure I would have what? With all the different styles, "colorways", etc., over 100,000 shoes if not closer to a half a million. Heck, maybe more.

I go through phases. I think during Covid I must have bought about 300-350 pairs and probably sold close to 250 of them. This past year, I bought maybe 50 pairs and sold 25 or so of them.

Biggest dilemma for me is deciding which pair/s to wear and when.

Today I can wear sneakers to work. Weather is perfect. I might break out a "special" pair but pretty much no one is in the office so the novelty of wearing a "special" pair loses its luster.
Tonight I am going to a HS Football game. I would break out a nice pair but my concern is their getting ruined. I laugh because sporting events and concerts and "social events" are typically when people like to break out their "grails" but then of course they tend to be places/events where shoes get damaged/ruined.
I have a friend who will wear $2000+ shoes in the rain and not care if they basically get ruined. He says, "Shoes are made to be worn". True, but $2000 isn't made to be flushed down the toilet either.

Thanks for the offer but it would be lost on me. I have 3 pairs of shoes. Black dress, brown dress and my Adidas. I'll pick up a new pair of tennis shoes and the old ones will become yard work shoes.

I intend to buy a good pair of warm boots in the near future.

Did someone say "boots"?

Reagan made that suit look goooooooooood.

Speaking of kicks, WTF is Bill Maher wearing?

Is he a 6th grader in 1994?

KU Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 on sale today for $60 off. Merry Christmas to me...

Got those last Xmas.
Coulda used a heel loop/tab.
Good fit though. The little tie on things are silly. Jayhawk should be in both soles.

I appreciate you pointing that out, my new pair of dress kicks*.








*They'll always be tennis shoes to me






dammit

Looks like a very slightly different version than last years.
They added a heel loop.
Good on them.

are these basketball shoes?

No.
I wear em to very casual things or to the grocery store/chores.

No, they are basically socks with rubber soles. I can't imagine you could do much athletically in them, even running. I tried on a pair at the local sporting goods just to see what size to buy. Glad they have the heel loop as the entry to them is super snug.
