I hate the fact that some people think only vintage af1 can be nice even though it's their opinion it just sounds so cynical. It shouldn't matter what year it released or how many were produced or how rare it is. In terms of value something is only worth what you are willing to pay.Originally Posted by Stuntman Mike

I appreciate it. I know I can be abrasive. This is who I am. I am a fighter. It's what I do for a living (not in the physical sense, though I am a longtime boxer).
Though I am rarely an instigator. I tend to find myself reacting to things that irk me in a volatile manner though.
Appreciate the kind words. I just love sneakers. I used to go off on cats on here who would +!*% in GR's. If it's a nice sneaker, it's a nice sneaker. Things have gone backwards over the last decade or so.
Phil, you're one of the few cats who's gone head to toe with the beast known as ProtoJ and actually came out with a draw!! LOL You're good in my books just for that.

It's all sense and sensibility. A 1994 pair is a gem because of the shape, the quality, and all that jazz. It also brings back the era when corny dudes just couldn't rock at all. Back when a lot of these joints were released, I might have ran into you on the street and asked, "You got the time?" or, "Hey, don't you know my man, Mark? Yeah, come take a walk with me right quick" But, in a world where 7th graders own iPads, I'm an alien, so what does it matter anyway, right...Originally Posted by golfinguru11

THIS!!!! Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the older vintage pairs as well. But to be honest I don't think newer limited stuff should be frowned upon. I see people post crazy stuff like Kobe denims and get absolutely no acknowledgement, yet when Bippy posts a dusty #%% pair of 1994 canvas hi tops people go nuts. To me, that makes no sense. People have different definitions of "heat" I guess, but you still have to respect others' stuff and give them props (i.e. Mayor). You cant just go and say its garbage because you could never afford it. You can tell yourself as many times as you want that you would never buy it anyways even if you had the $$, but lets be honest here. And on the other end of the spectrum, even though I think vintage canvas shoes are ugly and would never wear them (I never liked canvas forces) I would still give respect to that person for coming up on them since they are a "gem" in a lot of people's eyes, and extremely hard to find.
P.S. Mayor has more pre-2002 heat than 99% of the people in this thread. He just doesn't show it. Heck, half of his complex top 50 air forces of all time are older pairs.
