A new Aussie shoe company is coming out with a debut range in November, the ones I've seen so far look pretty sweet:

Sorry...double post...

But yeah, I agree with Weez, definite shockers...I've found most of the "retro" Jordans they've been bringing out have been in some disgustingly crazy colourways...poor form!

went back to niketown today, the nike:id studio just opened up yesterday. place was rammed! they were turning people away at the doors to the studio which is in a big glass enclosure that has three levels. there are posters everywhere saying to book an appointment! craziness...

they did have some examples of the customs on display. some of them were brightly coloured clown shoes, but there were some seriously dope shoes in there... the coolest one i saw was a girls air max 360 called "jungle princess" - obviously not for me :E but its the same shoe as this



except it was brown, baby pink and camo, looked really awesome.

left the store a bit dissapointed as they had loads more of customs in the studio, i could see them from outside but i was a fair distance away... definitely have to go back there once the initial hype dies down... might treat myself to some customs before i head home...

The latest Air Jordan sneaker has been unleashed, and despite what you might think you're seeing here, we're telling you -- it's a green shoe.

Nike tells us that the Air Jordan XX3 is the first-ever basketball shoe in the Jordan Brand to be made with sustainable materials -- meaning it'll be around the next time MJ decides to unretire, whenever that is. It's coming out in a limited edition costing $230 which will only be available in 23 stores (sensing a theme here?) and then will be out wide -- for $185.

Same deal.

Dont see what the massive obsession is with them.

So many people I know spending ridiculous amounts of cash to have these limited release/collectors edition shoes that they either dont wear out for fear of ruining them, or wear them and they look like something a dog spewed up.

Whats the fucking point? They're shoes they go on your feet.

Its like basketball cards, yeah sick they might be worth something in 50 years. Whatever. Theyre shoes!

i really like nike dunks because the pair that i got copped a thrashing and would look brand new if i bothered to give them a bit of a wash, plus they are comfy as. some of the color ways are horrendous, but i prefer the simpler colours, ie: not fluoro patent snake skin laugh

also a fan of DCs as they are comfy and hard wearing, but not all of their designs are up my alley. never been a fan of adidas as they are really uncomfortable on my feet.

any particular kind of sneakers you like josh?

She showed me the proper link to them, and they looked fake. Didn't even have "Nike" mentioned in the listing & on another view of the pictures, the swoosh looked real dodgy.  Smiley

Plus been from China & the buy it now price is only $49.99, I'm guessing they are definitely fake! Just IMO of course  Smiley

fake as hell, stay well clear.

they kinda have legit colourway names, but everything is mixed with that fucked up silver (on the 90's) "grey". Those colourways don't even exist.
true laser blue 90's will cost you an arm and a leg because they were a euro release only (jdsports).

Also another indication that it's fake is every price is fixed $80-ish.

The one-time-only 360 hybrids are laughably wrong.

They drop end of the month. What an honour to have your own shoe especially by a company like DC. I had the Mike Shinoda Remix DC.... looked sick a shame they fell apart within 4 months.



DC really don't seem to be very good quality for the price you pay

Definitely second pickyourshoes.

Cheapest prices and great range I reckon.

I still can't find cheaper genuine's with that range of phat style here in Bangkok...that's including the price of postage from the US with pickyourshoes!

100 years of Converse

Today the American sneaker brand celebrates its 100th anniversary. “How controversial can a pair of Converse Chucks be?” I asked myself - overlooking the minor issue that Converse has been the casual footwear brand of choice of legions of hipsters for decades, including the current crop of Gen Y ‘trashbags’. Oh, and overlooking those Asian sweatshop claims, which, according to Converse at least, are just not true.

Born not on the elitist runway, but instead, out of a humble rubber shoe manufacturer in working class Malden, Massachusetts, the Converse brand survived the Depression, recession, wars, receivership, and in 2001, even bankruptcy, to become a modern footwear icon. By 2003, the year it was acquired by Nike for US$305million, Converse claimed to have sold 750 million pairs of its classic Chuck Taylor All Star high-tops.

Along the way, the brand has been immortalised by a swag of sports stars and pop culture figures, from Charles “Chuck” Taylor to Jack Purcell, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, the child stars of the classic 50s/60s sitcoms Dennis the Menace and Leave it to Beaver, John Travolta in Grease, The Ramones and Kurt Cobain. Cobain famously died wearing a pair of black suede Converse One Stars.

This classic, unpretentious, and yes cheap, laceup canvas sneaker with vulcanized rubber sole, seems as American as apple pie.

Until you twig that Converse is neither the oldest American sneaker, nor the world’s oldest basketball shoe. Nor indeed is the laceup canvas/rubber shoe apparently even an American invention.

Here’s a quick sneaker timeline:

1843-1844
The process of vulcanizing rubber is patented in the UK by British rubber industry titan Thomas Hancock in 1843 – eight weeks before his US counterpart, Charles Goodyear is granted the US patent. Goodyear, some believe, in fact invented the process.

1868
The Liverpool Rubber Company (founded in Walton, Liverpool in 1859; acquired by Dunlop in 1925) fuses a canvas upper to a rubber sole to produce a lightweight, waterproof beach shoe. Originally dubbed a “sandshoe”, the style becomes popular with the Victorian middle classes.

1870s
Charles Goodyear experiments with canvas and rubber tennis shoes.

1876
Sandshoes are dubbed “Plimsolls” by a salesman in Liverpool - after the Bristol-born pioneer of the international shipping load line the Plimsoll Line, Samuel Plimsoll.

1900
According to Robert W. Peterson’s book Cages to Jump Shots, American professional baseball player and sporting-goods manufacturer A.G. Spalding launches the first basketball shoe: a canvas high-top with a pitted rubber sole.

1908
Marquis M. Converse establishes the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in Malden, Massachusetts. The company’s first products are rubber boots and automobile tires. In 1915, it branches out into canvas/rubber shoes.

1916
The Keds brands (originally “Peds” – but which was already trademarked) is launched by the United States Rubber Company. Keds claims this was the world’s first mass marketed sports shoe.

1917
The term “sneaker” is coined by Henry Nelson McKinney, an advertising executive at the Keds agency, N.W. Ayer & Sons.

1917
Converse launches the Converse All Star basketball shoe – originally in a natural tan colour with black colour trim.

1921
Converse hires former Akron Firestones basketball pro Charles “Chuck” Taylor to market the All Star shoe. Taylor helps introduce design changes, and from 1932 onwards, his signature is included on either side of the trademark star on the shoe’s “Patch” logo.

1924
Dunlop Rubber Factories in Melbourne commences production of sandshoes.

1939
Inspired by the herringbone sole of an American boat shoe, the Dunlop-linked Australian tennis star Adrian Quist convinces the company to launch a tennis shoe with a similar design, giving birth to the Dunlop Volley.

1935
Canadian tire and rubber company B.F. Goodrich launches the Jack Purcell sneaker style with signature blue stripe “smile” at the toe – named after the Canadian world champion badminton player. The brand receives a PR boost after some 1955 Phil Stern photographs of James Dean are published, showing Dean in the shoes. After the Jack Purcell license is acquired by Converse in 1972, Converse pays Stern licensing rights for many years in order to use one particular closeup shot of Dean’s shoes in Converse advertising.

1957
Launch of the Chuck Taylor All Star low-cut or “low-top” style.

1966
The Van Doren Rubber Company – and the Vans brand - are launched by Paul van Doren, Serge D’Elia and Gordy Lee.

1976
Vision Streetwear is launched by skater Brad Dorfman.

2003, the year it was acquired by Nike for US$305million,

The year when all new converse shoe designs became crap. nahnah

What's with Nike taking over all these shoe companies and turning them into crap? Is it so their Nike brand shoes look awesome?

DC is a fine example - their shoes have ridiculous patterns all over them. I don't mind some patterns, but fuck me, DCs over the last few years have become ugly!

I really like Fallen shoes, particularly these:

Well I ended up getting some similar velcro closing type Lacoste shoes today, instead of the lace up ones I showed a pic of... It's worth checking out a shop at Harbour Town (West Beach) called 'Wanted Brands' - they (and most of the other outlet stores there anyway) have pretty good deals.

The Levi's store has heaps of stuff at hugely discounted prices as well at the moment ($60 to $100 instead of the usual double). Smiley

$120

I honestly didn't investigate how much they'd have been at other places (I wanted some now not later and it's a bit inconvenient for me at the moment to get to other shopping centres) but I am assuming $120 for a pair of Lacoste shoes isn't too bad. Smiley

Here are some photos I took in the (huge) Nike shop in Berlin last month by the way. They had different sections of the store with different styles, for example there was a 'inspired by Tokyo' section, and a 'Jordan' section, amongst a ton of others. They had some nice stuff on sale as well but unfortunately I couldn't really buy any more stuff and expect to fit it in my bag and get home... Tongue

Cunts and cuntettes ...

are these real ??

http://www.getyoursneaks.com/Check%20outs/Air%20force%201%20Premium%20Bone%20Fatigue.html

This website just added me on Facebook. Site looks a bit cheap and tacky so I'm not sure about the quality of the shoes ...

They look real enough to me. A good way of checking is to get the style number which in this case is " 313641 221" and google it. If the results come back as showing the same shoe (and these ones do) then you are probably all good. If a different style/colour comes up then they are more than likely fakes.

CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY - SNEAKEROLOGY 101 CLASS

Pensylvania's Carnegie Mellon University has introduced its official sneaker based class, Sneakerology 101.

A university level course dealing with sneaker culture on the whole. Ranging from its roots in the 1970s to its shaping by hip-hop, the internet and basketball among other factors, the course covers the overall impact of sneakers on a worldwide level. The class utilizes Bobbito Garcia's Where'd You Get Those? for reference as well as various sneaker-based websites. Evaluations include a mid-term project pertaining to the design of a sneaker, incorporating elements acquired along the way. Interested parties can sign up for the class' next session set for Spring of 2009.

They are Omni Lites. Although I really have no idea why they refer to them as lite, as they are easily the heaviest pair of shoes I own. Comfy though.

I'm intrested getting pumps, but I don't know which one to go for, I really have my heart set on some Pumps but all the colours I want are sold out, if I get one it will have to be one of these.

http://www.pickyourshoes.com/new3/reebok_omni_wht_relay_ion.htm - I'm actually starting to like these, just the blue and red pattern isn't my favorite.

http://www.pickyourshoes.com/new3/reebok_omni_royal_flush.htm - the colours on these are pretty good, but I just like the Limited Edition thing better than the Royal Flush on the back.

I also like these Nike Dunk Highs:
http://www.pickyourshoes.com/new2/nike_dunk_hi_pre_stlth_mze_wht.htm

I love the colours on these, but they are more common than Pump's and I want my shoe to be one of a kind in Adelaide, so I'll be staying with Pumps.

I was thinking about getting these Nike Air Max 90's:
http://www.pickyourshoes.com/collectible/nike_max90_premium_mar_cts_sil.htm

but I see too many people with low tops and I figure the Pumps are way way more unique and just for a change from low tops would be good, I've been wearing low's tops all my life now.

I'd also like to know the best way to wear my pants with High Tops, if you look in the 'post a picture of yourself' thread and find my picture you'll know what clothes I usually wear.

It's just that I don't want to make my pants covering over the Pumps I get.

I'd like some opinions on which pumps to get biggrin

Trumps, take it from this old cad, fashion goes out of style quicker than you can say 'Black is the new pink.' My advice to you, young whippersnapper, is to tuck them shits in. And then tuck your shirt into your pants. Ride them high. If possible, tuck your sleeves into your watch as well. I also like to tuck my dick between my legs, but that's purely personal preference. When in doubt, fuck it, just tuck it.

Depends if it's being delivered by AusPost or a courier company or someone else... Courier companies would often leave a note in your postbox and you'd have to go pick it up from a depo (often near the airport). Auspost might leave it at door or take it to your local post office and leave it there. If you get registered post then it has to be signed for so they can't/won't leave it at your door.

Do NOT! buy shoes from this site:

http://www.omarskicks.com/new_shoes.php

I was going to do a mass order as they provide free shipping (which I confirmed via email).
The site LOOKS fully legit, but I had a slight inkling that free shipping to Australia was too good to be true.
I typed omarskicks into google and found heaps of people had been scammed.
Its a big shame because they have some real nice sneakers.

Im sussing out a few other places now (that dont charge shitloads for shipping and also list shoes that are actually IN stock (unlike pickyourshoes))

Just found this handy page:

most of the shit i wear is found in op shops and believe me vintage nike shit is really hard to find. i found an ugly ass 90s jordan jumper for around $5 and sold it on ebay for just over $200. had i worn this thing everyone would have rolled around on the floor laughing at me, it was fucking ugly..

He speaks the truth! I don't see Adi Dassler and the crew advancing shoe styles in any form? At least Nike have the balls to try something different on the design tip as well as consistently bringing out new forms of their classic styles! When was the last time a new Adidas model came out? Even the TS brands pushed by their NBA cohorts are pretty tame! Admittedly Gilbert Arenas' 20+ different Gil-0 designs is kinda fresh, but nothing like Nike constantly pushes!

I'm Reebok/Adida's fan, but I do like Nike's oldschool designs, it's just that... I don't find it cool seeing someone roll up in a pair of 90's/Wrights or AF1's anymore, there becoming abit common now, no doubt is because there quality, but I like to wear something less common.

I'd still wear them though, but the'd have to be in a good colourway, the only new Nike shoe I sort of like is the 180 and Air Max Wrights( might be thinking of the old 180's,not sure) they have a few nice colourways.

I personally don't give a fuck if anybody thinks the shoes I "roll up in" are cool or unique, but that's probably because I'm not 12. I buy and wear them because I like them and have been doing so for a long time. Also, I hate to break it to you, but Adidas and Reebok's aren't exactly rare mate. This said, I will not be complaining when the metros move on to the next wave of "cool" kicks, whatever they may be.

Yeah I saw a few ventilators at Globalize, last time I checked they only sold the Court Victory Pump's, First in Flight have about 8 different Pumps and a fair variety of Vents so they arn't all that hard to find.

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting an all white AF1, they look really nice biggrin but that's after I get my Pump's, First in Flight only have the Black ones in my size.

Just rang them up, they said they're getting in the original colour's like black white and orange (Dee Brown colours)

They sell Omni-Lites at Globalize too. I think FiF was the only store to sell Pumps in Adelaide for a while, and nobody really knew about the store back then either.

Definitely keen on the Dee Brown pumps, did they say how many pairs they were getting? I think there were only ever 1993 pairs of the proper Dee Brown pumps made.

Nope they didn't say how many they were getting, I don't even know if they're proper Dee Browns, she said they were the original colours in Black,White and Orange.. if they don't cost more than 240 (normal price for pumps there) I'll be grabbing them next week, I'm sure they ordered more than just that colour anyway so I'll have a variety to choose from  biggrin.

Reebok D Time Dee Brown 1993 Bringback

Reebok Pump D-Time Dee Brown

This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Reebok Pump D-Time. This was Dee Brown’s first signature shoe that was given to him after winning the 1991 Slam Dunk Contest wearing the Pump Omni Lites which were brought back in celebration last month.

Dee Brown’s “no look” Dunk was heavily illustrated on the D-Time with even his signature logo being drawn from the silhouette of him covering his face. Reebok took this all the way to the sole which we have displayed after the jump. The Reebok D-Time was also one of the first Reebok basketball shoes that were part of the multi-year campaign of “Above The Rim” during Reebok’s heyday of basketball kicks in the mid-90’s.

In total 1993 individually numbered pairs of the Reebok D-Time have been released in the original Black/White/Orange colorup for $109.99.



I used to have a pair of these back in the day, when hi tops really were high!

I was talking about a low top, but I think I might actually get a high top, that way I'll have two lows and two highs once I get these and the pumps  biggrin.

We had a guy from Seattle at work the other week, and he loved the Australian sneaker stores.

I thought that was pretty odd, and I told him he mustn't get out much.

He said the colour range here was much better than what they offer in the USA. Over there, he said, footlocker just sells white trainers, whereas here there are all kinds of colours.

The adidas Team Signature KG Commander is scheduled to launch in October 2008, but for this year’s NBA Finals, Kevin Garnett will wear a special version that will be highlighted by the inclusion of the coveted Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy on the medial side, and an embroidered callout to games 1 thru 7 on the lateral side. The number of that night’s game will be in green while the others remain white. The numbers 1 thru 7 also get larger as each game grows in significance.

“All season long it has been about we and not me, so as we head into the NBA Finals I wanted to do something special for the Boston community. That is why we came up with this limited edition adidas Team Signature KG Commander,” stated Garnett. “Since day one, the fans of Boston have made me feel like family, so to do this and be able to give back to them is a great honor.”

Another key attribute that has adorned KG’s shoes throughout the years are his tributes to two of his good friends and mentors: Malik Sealy (former Timberwolves teammate) and Kirby Puckett (former Minnesota Twins Superstar Centerfielder). Malik’s tribute is located under the strap and says “2 Malik”, while Kirby’s call out, “KP 34” is located on the back of the shoe, just below the adidas logo.

“KG redefines what passion means on the basketball court but this energy also spills over to include every off-court initiative that he is involved with as well,” stated Lawrence Norman, VP Global Basketball for adidas. “His switch never turns off - KG is 100% authentic and his drive to make a difference in the community is real and ongoing. This was the perfect concept for a guy like KG and adidas to get involved with as we both enjoy finding fun, creative ways to give back to the local community.”

“KG has shown throughout his career that he is a consummate team player, whose passion for the game, his teammates and his community is unmatched,” stated Rich Gotham, President, Boston Celtics. “KG embodies all of the characteristics that all true Celtic greats have and this is one of many ways that Kevin gives back to the city of Boston and its fans.”


The limited edition adidas Team Signature Commander will only be available at Celtics.com, the TD Banknorth Garden Pro Shop and NBA Store in New York City. Each pair of adidas Team Signature KG Commanders will retail for $1017 (to commemorate the drive for championship #17).

The 'terms and conditions' claim that all the sneakers are authentic but the stitching looks a little dodgy ..

http://www.cngd88.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_98&products_id=7569

I personally reckon they're fakes, I think the sole looks too high on the side for legit, and the swoosh is a bit mangled looking.

Check these for a comparison and the others on the site:

Terms and conditions

1) All the shoes are 100% authentic, brand new condition and come with original box, otherwise noted.


Hrmm ... does that mean I can get them in trouble somehow ? They looked alright on my monitor at home but now I'm at work I can see how dodgy they look !! The black bit that says "AIR MAX" is all smudged and the tick is heaps crooked and the stitching is awful.

you have to be sceptical about an e-commerce site that uses shitty low-res jpgs that look worse than a camera phone, and no details at ALL about the shoe.

They are on eBay, the guy says he brought them for his son back in 1991 and he wore them a couple of times then went back in the box and haven't seen the light of day till now. I found a pair three years ago in the UK with the same story. Was stoked when I got them but they lasted about 2 months before they simply disintergrated.

Well, a positive is that he's not from Hong Kong (Where most fakes come from), it's ofcourse a real colourway too laugh

I can't see it very well, but it doesn't look dodgy to me.

Hmm I would be vary wary of these as it ticks all the boxes. Full size run, low feedback, poor pictures (stitching looks off to by the way)

Always be weary of someone offering every size of one particular shoe unless it's a brand new release and on PickYourShoes or something similar.

You're welcome. And if they have provided small undetailed pictures and say they will not provide any more on request be suspicious... veeeerrrrry suspicious.

Not something I'd usually go for either, but thought I might stray from the norm and get a bit of diversity going in the collection haha.

Can't get back into the shoe buying trap... already eyeing off another pair of BW's  laugh

Ended up getting some vintage BW's from the 90's. In good condition too. Worn once then left to sit in the guys collection untouched because they were too big. Never know how much of this stuff to believe, but the guy had a lot of good feedback.

$90 all up - Sole is supposed to be that colour with a zincy/gold tinge in one spot.

Lol. They don't even get released on Chinese New Year but Western New Year haha. Silly. They don't look too bad but a bit garish, I still reckon the best Chinese inspired kicks so far has to be these Lebron specials.
