OFFICIAL : Zoom Kobe V (5) thread - Ace launch on 3/6

[mjpit23]

Wore my chaos today and I love them. I went up a half size compared to my normal size and they work great for me. Definitely a narrow fit. People have saidthey don't like them with jeans but IMO these are GREAT with jeans.

Imo, no one can pull it off no matter what jeans they are.

If you are in middle school or elementry school hoop sneaks or athletic sneaks is ok to wear with jeans. When you become older your fashion sense alsomatures. There are a few older Jordans that look decent with jeans, but most of his shoes are an exception because they were styled differently. Basketballshoes now days are completely different and look horrible with jeans. Besides kids, who rocks hoop shoes out to social events anyways?

hey beezies... people are bound to have different opinions.. that's what makes the world NOT boring....

In my opinion, the shoes look good with jeans, but I wouldn't wear them with jeans myself.

I don't feel the same. When I buy shoes I want them to fit comfortable from the get go. Shoes are not cars, they don't need to be broken in for preservation of seals, gaskets, etc.. These ain't Fruit of the Looms. Some shoes are stiff by design, not by wear and tear. There is obviously a difference there and most are confused with it. Broken in shoes should be comfortable, but brand new shoes should be just the same. Why would you buy something that ain't your size, expecting wear and tear to 'suit' you? Makes no sense to me.

If a pair of shoes out of the box hurts you, why buy them? Then again, people claim they can wear a range of sizes.

That's just me. But just for the record, I think comprehension tells us that broken into means they don't care if they get them dirty, not if they fit comfy or not. LOL =)




I have almost 12 pairs of hoop sneaks in the past 5 years that I've bought. Only the V's felt like I've worn them before even though they werenew. Could it be because they are so light have basically no weight to the shoe? I don't know. My Penny IV's were the most comfortable shoe to date,but even they needed to be broken into.

AF1's, Tim's etc. all stiff when you first buy them. This really isn't that hard to understand about shoes. It has nothing to do with the sizing. After you wear them numerous times it feels completely different from when you first bought them because they are broken into.

This was

to me. None of that d-riding stuff, just the logo that represents the guy.

the irony, right?

I dont see how its irony. I like Jordan Brand stuff but I dont wanna wear another mans face on my clothing. like this

Gimme something like this

or this

Logos arent neccesarily d-riding. Some of y'all like products like Livestrong, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani etc but you dont want their damn face on your shirtthats sorta tacky.

 

[illmabus3666]

What's the release date for the Bruce lee's??

 

[jmizzo]

i liked when they released the 4s they gave us a schedule....that was nice!

 

[kob8]

A footlocker employee said the bruce lee's release at the end of the month. Not sure on how accurate that is since some FTL employees don't knowmuch....

Logos, faces, blah blah...honestly, wear what you want to wear. I just don't consider calling those that you find tacky to be a"D-rider" but you're probably going to wear a pair of the man's shoes with the man's logo and walk around calling people a D-rider. that,to me, is the irony.
