Same here, maybe it's an age thing but being mid 30s I just feel pretty stupid wearing loud thing like the what the shoes... Not that it doesn't work for some just not me.

Couldn't have said it better tatmantall and weaverthegreat..

But what if you're 30, but look like you're 21, like myself?

im just saying, i grew up in a time where if dudes would have wore the what the shoes on court they would have been laughed right out of the league. I mean honestly, If Michael jordan would have worn a pair of WTJ XIs out on the court back in the day, people would have thought he went all dennis rodman. Back then it was a big deal to just have a few tattoos... sure the times have changed but thats what I know and like, keep it simple without out loud mismatched colorways that requires everyone to buy certain lame outfits put out specifically for shoes and walking around looking goofy in the eyes of the world. I just cant take it seriously, sorry. Like I said though, to each their own. If its what you like go for it, and while I could go for them and resell thats also just not how I grew up collecting. i dont like them so ill leave them for someone who does. Yeah I guess i could make a few bucks off some kid who really wants em, or I could just hope that he gets them for retail because I believe in karma. Good things happen to those who arent constantly looking for a means to get one over on the next guy. Regardless of how collectinhg has evolved over time, it doesn't mean I have to. I am to the point with my collecting that if I get what I want for the price I have allowed myself then great, but if not life goes on.... Anyway good luck to those who are going for them.
 
Hannah Storm talking bout a video of what Kobe did they're gonna show..

Hope it's not the steal from X and dunk vid thats already been seen..

But watch it be just that..

I hear you. I am in the same boat. The older I get (42), the worse my game gets, the less I want to draw attention to myself. I call the younger generation that wears all these bright colors, the peacock generation cause it is like everyone wants to stand out in a crowd with bright matching outfits. I am not hating on anyone, its just not my style.

Funny how a lot of ppl are here now since they are releasing these, I never seen some of the ppl here before until now :smh:

I Haven't been in here since the python release .*shrugs*

Gotta understand that the funds aren't right for everyone all the time so there's no point In entering a thread about shoes that you can't have.
 
I'm the same. I'm 36 years old and I wouldn't wear the wtk out anywhere. Those shoes are for the younger generation
 
I'm sure most ppl are in the kds and LeBron threads, I was just thinking about this lately, I got into the shoe game from being a Kobe fan. I can never see myself getting LeBron or Durant. Idk how ppl can get all three shoes if ppl are not real big fans of the player like me...guess I'm old fashion
 
^ same here. But 2 be honest with u I saw the kd5 Xmas and I actually like those the best out of the big 3

Nah man...
Not feeling them at all.. I'll let hypebeasts consume them
No offense to ppl who really like them though..
However I still believe most ppl want them just because of the resale value
 
The WTK's r definitely wearable. A little wild tho. The two different shoes r kinda crazy. Imma try to cop on my phone while im at work. Worth a try. These would hit with some slim dark blue denim and a gray hoodie
