OFFICIAL AIR FORCE ONE THREAD!!!!!

[buddhashark]

lol you're so wrong for this. With another dad, maybe, but no chance I let her go down that path. Will teach her early that these get tossed quick.

Was pretty proud of her this morning. She's moving into a 10 now and wife opened up about a dozen pair I've collected over the last few years for her and asked her what she wanted to wear. She chose these so I asked her what they were. She replied "Force Ones". Close enough for 3 years old.

I tried buying my girls sneakers and all they want to wear is crocs and rain boots. Wife told me to get these all cleaned up and sold.

G broke out her first pair of white on whites this morning so I was playing Nelly while we were getting dressed. Wife got her in the car and I went to kiss her bye and she looked me dead in the eye and said "Daddy... I need two pairs."

Boss move G!!!!

Haha yea I've been fortunate with her. Occasionally she wants to wear sandals but normally she's in sneakers and wants to match me. This is when she was 2 lol.

Dad talk and sneakers gotta be two of my favorite things.

My lil man is 4 and hasnt really picked up the sneaker bug yet. He loves his origin 1s tho. I buy a lot of **** couple sizes too big so he has stuff that other people havent seen in a while.

Really looking forward to him kinda getting into the culture more (if he chooses) and realizing how much I laced him up as a kid. He's had a good mix of everything except AF1s, but his throwback pictures in Jordans are gonna be dope.

Way to go dblplay1212 love seeing the homies set their shorties up.

I have a 16 month old girl and can’t wait for the day to start buying her kicks. Don’t know at what age to start tho

so for now she’s just wearing basic sandals.

Yea man she loves it. She goes to my local shop all the time. She loves those guys and they always save little toys and trinkets for her. Like she don't go to many men but she runs and jumps into "Mr. Jaylen's" arms. She's grown up going there. The shop is way more excited to see her than me these days.

She may grow out of it one day, and that's fine, but it's nice having a little mini-me right now.

Start now imo. Just buy random sizes when you can. Grab stuff on sale in random sizes. When there's a collab done in toddler, enter for a random size. But keep track of what you have or you'll end up with close to 30 size 10 smh.

 

[dennistrane]

My little boy is only 2 and he already loves shoes. We were in Champs yesterday and he was grabbing kids shoes off the wall and tried to try them on lmao. Already got some Js and some dunks for him when he starts growing into them. I created a monster.....

This.

I try to limit each size to 3-4 pair but I have a bad habit of never buying all white sneakers so my girl ends up getting those on top of all the other stuff my kid has.

When my son was born ebay was still doing 15% off codes fairly regularly so I'd always a find cool stuff that isn't as accessible and buy during those times.

I second the buy more stuff when shops have sales. Lapstone and hammer, Snkrroom, etc all run fairly regular sales. I tend to snatch up whatever is lying around at discounted prices in assorted sizes.

And lastly yeah I shoot for collabs when I can. My son has clot AM1 and Travis 6s waiting for him in about a year or two.

My little girl is 7 months and I can't wait. She already loves to look at and play with all my shoes, unfortunately though at this age that mostly means trying to eat them.

Same … my one year old son slaps mine around and tries to eat his on car trips. You can see the intrigue when a pair comes in. I absolutely love it!

No AF1s so forgive me but my own Lil monster. He started school last week.

I have about 12 pairs I’ve bought over the years going back to like 2013. My daughter had really no interest other than it just being new and hers but she loved sandals or boots. The last year though she has been all about sneakers, don’t know they names lol but she wants new sneakers and always says she’s ordering me shoes. Loves going to the door and getting my boxes and lights up when she has a new pair.

only downside is they grow out of em so fast. She’s 4 and already wearing a 13-13.5 current rotation for her gamma 11, orange pearl dunk, citrus 11, carmines (‘14) then the random stuff she likes

 

[dennistrane]

Spideys Kicking myself for not copping those when they were semi-reasonable

 

[buddhashark]

Man, I’ve even taken them to the store to let them pick out their own. Like you said, they’re happy that I buy them something new and they never touched them. I give up. If they get back into it I’ll be here. Kid doesn’t even wanna wear sneakers on the days she has gym class.

 

[Beerdman55]

My little girl just turned 2 months, can't wait until she can fit into sneakers!

 

[langfor5]

dblplay1212 daughter is adorable, bro!

Kids and shoes. I'm all here for it!

Daughter is almost 10 months and she was rocking her infant white / whites on vacation.

Love this!

Though getting her hooked on Nikes will come back to haunt you down the road.

...second mortgage on the house at some point.

Raising them right. I see you brother.

Man I gotta have another kid. This pandemic has really thrown a wrench in my 5 year plans with my fiance. Seeing all you guys with Lil babies makes me miss the days when my kid was still a new born.

Really hoping we have some sense of clarity by 2022 or my girl and I just gonna have to make some adjustments.

Love seeing all the dadding in this thread. This was a perfect way to start my day. Thank you all fam.

 

[bundy888]

Anyone go after the Undefeated joints?

 

[SneakerProSr.]

My sons are 4 and 6 and I can't do Forces for them again. They too rough on shoes.

Straight Lebron's and Kyrie's with synthetic materials so I can scrub them.



My youngest son wore these once

With all the ugly things going on in the world today, this thread is starting to give me hope for the future. The younger generation needs a positive message about something.

...no Reeboks in this house!

 

[sneakaprince]

If it helps I thought the colors on the midsole we're part of the design.

I feel you on the rough thing tho. I still.dont buy all whites for that very reason.
