If you're into shoes man, you should check out the magazine I write for. A lot of it is about sneakers.

Comatosemag.com

Just wondering guys, what do you do if you can't find the shoe in your size?

"Size swap"
If you're well into the sneaker community you can just buy a pair a bit bigger/smaller then post on forums/instagram asking to swap sizes.

Actually this is very easily solved, you take a sharps knife and carve your feet, the only thing that could make this method stupid is how you would obviously stain the insides of your shoes unless you wear thick socks. I've actually done this many different times, it is extremely helpful.

this is funny because in the Bones episode I watched earlier there was a chick that cut her toe to fit on these sandals for her wedding
Eavor Clear, I'll check it out and probably add it to my favourites next to all the other mags I read haha

I have a $25 shoes. Does that make me a sneakerhead? It lasted me 2 years and going. Jokes aside, I really don't like kicks that much. I don't have money, that's why. It would be cool to have a couple of these.

^so what ? My dad doesn't let me buy expensive shoes either because he's afraid they might be stolen but that doesn't mean I can't be pumped about new drops and check blogs daily for news about something I like.
I wish I lived in Portland, Tom there's the Air Max 90's you want on the Nike Emplyee Store in Portland for 60$

Roshe Yezzy 2 edition

I don't understand how someone would get so hyped about something that was made in a sweatshop and isn't worth the price tag. Sure it's cool to say that your shoes are 90,000 dollars or something but is it about being "fly and cool" and of course materialistic or buying a quality shoe?

lol have you even read the slightes bit of this thread ? we were JUST talking about overpriced shoes and how Roshe hype came along because of their comfort and small price -.-
and we can like whatever we want if you don't understand why or don't like it don't post, simple as that

It's not really about "looking fly" or the price. Well, not to me at least.
Sneakers are a niche culture and hobby like fingerboarding.
And you best believe that there are some similarities between the two cultures.
Anyways, every sneaker, like every fingerboard, is a work of art and there's usually a story behing the design or maker of the shoe.

Take the Air Jordan Spiz'ike shoes for instance, the Spiz'ikes were created to commemorate Spike Lee's commitment to the Air Jordan brand.

Or the Nike SB P-Rod X Jordan collaboration.
Paul Rodriguez is a huge sneakerhead, so he took it upon himself to release a special edition shoe that took different parts of different Air Jordans and made it one of his signature shoes.

Just a few examples, but if you really want to understand then you can watch "Just For Kicks" on Netflix.
It started as a need to "Look fly" but it turned into so much more.

Why take such offense to this? It's a forum, people post things containing an opinion.

Also, Eavor, thanks for the civilized and good response/explanation. Makes more sense to me now.

Gunner you made two points that were JUST talked about in previous pages in a 5 page thread, I didn't take offence, I just found your post to be dumb

I picked up the Grapes today!
Another great color way to add to my collectiion!

damn, you lucky man
Wish I could pick some up :/

Interesting , I understand why people have been designing grape themed shirts layely haha

yeah, the grape fever kind of went over board lol

Pfft, dude. EVERYTIME a colorway drops Jordan puts that shit on EVVVERYTHING. Lol.
There are grape Team Jordans, Grape trunners, etc. I remembered when they did the 3M colorway with the Spiz'ike and the Melo M9.

yeah but normally people don't take it that far as Jordan Brand, with the grapes there were like fits and paintings and shit
Eavorclear can you post a pic of your collection ? I'd love to see it man

Sure thing, man! I'll do it when I get home.. Do you want individual pics or everything at once?

depends on the size of it, but I don't wanna bother you so an overall pic would be perfect man!

I'll try my best. Lol, it might be like two pictures.
I have a pretty large collection but not too big so it can be done.
