You really gonna trash the 13s but especially the 5s and 6s like that?

 

[nuclear1990]

I stop at 14s personally. I like 19/20/21 but that's about it.

 

[egypt1337]

Haven't posted in a minute so here's some DS Size 12.5 '85s

 

[206to813]

I like all the models up til 17, except for 2s…
Feel like all of em have a time and place

Edit- Forgot about the 15. I have them erased from my memory

 

[vinotwofour]

I feel like casual rocking goes up to the 14. Everything past that doesn't look that great with some jeans/pants imo.

 

[brownmamba]

the popularity of 1s nowadays is out of control

i wonder WHY?

anyone?

I know that's a lot of people's opinions, but I just can't agree with it. I don't dress up majority of the time as is, but most shoes are timeless IMO. At least the ones I go after.

Some documentary.

The hype was there way before it. But at the same time, I don't truly know the impact of "The Last Dance".

 

[brownmamba]

NetFlix Last Dance??

really?? i watched that many times but AJ 1s wasnt even mentioned except when MJ played at MSG and pulled his OG CW gave him BLISTERS

too FLAT ZERO CUSHIONING how much more back in the 80s

some dude was using the University Blue cw at the pick up game(ouch) lol im sure he's hurting bad

 

[rbk93]

It wasn't a Netflix release at first. Would have made it a one and done...and sold the documentary through different media forms.

Buying it would give me more incentive to watch.

Just current fashion trends. 80’s basketball shoes are hot.

 

[KanyIZZY]

TLD sent practically every Jordan into over drive just like Concords in 2011. I's and Dunks went into over drive together and bots went into super saiyan. And here we are.

The End.

 

[vinotwofour]

the documentary made the chicagos and basically anything 85/94 1's shoot up in price. But the 1's popularity had been a rise anyway before the documentary. Few decent GR colorways here, some OG colorways there, throw on the top collab's using 1's (Union, Travis, Ow, Dior, Art Basel, Spike lee, etc) and some average collab's also using 1's (solefly, trophy room, etc). And the media blowing up the 1's trend made people wanna buy any 1's, including some very questionable mids that sells out. Its all just a perfect storm.

 

[Davey Magoo]

I’m coming for the Atmospheres on the 22nd and I’m coming hard.

Decided i’m going to wear em on the first day of school after Christmas break. Already have my outfit picked out and everything. I’ve got the perfect shirt to go with the shoes.

...These kids have no idea what’s about to happen.

[rbk93]

Too bad they're not available in your size.

 

[Davey Magoo]

I’ll figure something out.

...i’m not going to let size stand in the way of living my dream.

 

[Otaku]

Let’s atleast go to 6 and all you really need are the black/red. 1>4>3>6>5

You really gonna trash the 13s but especially the 5s and 6s like that?

If you really look at 5s objectively they start looking a little Frankenstein-ish. The netting is kind of out of place, the weird tongue, the jet fighter sole, the weirdly shaped heel counter, it's a shoe that has a lot going on. The 6 is a better silhouette than the 5, but they lean too much to being a basketball shoe imo. What does that mean? That it doesn't have a balance between basketball and lifestyle to pair it with everything, too bulky. They just look wrong to me if you try to dress them like this:

I love 6s, but they’re hard to wear with jeans imo.

I wasn’t happy with my DMPs until I made the transition to 512s.

...they needed that skinny fit around the ankles.

How do you feel about 13s though? A lot of ppl feel they are one of the most wearable Js because of the simplicity of the upper.

Sneakers are more popular now than ever before.
