Nike, Swoosh, Jordan, Jumpman, Air and All That!

Ahhhh, one of my favorite things in the world!!! I have been collecting for as long as I can remember. Let's just say I have a storage Unit dedicated to my collection. In the last five years I have slowed down as I no longer buy 2-3 pairs of sneakers a month nor do I wait in line for upcoming collaboration releases. Thank God! I do however have an appreciation and always will for sneakers. Different fashion forums frown upon the use of Nike, Adidas, blah blah blah when it comes to style. It is simply dismissed as juvenile or a "Niketalk/ Hypebeast" thing. I disagree. As I grow older and my style evolves, I keep certain things and leave others behind, forever evolving. It just seems crazy to rule out a whole genre of footwear as unfashionable or trendy. That being said just because you buy a dope pair of kicks, it does not instantly mean they look good. You have to style them with the right jeans and lacing scheme. Enough rambling, on with the shoes!
And please, do not flood this thread with shitty quality flicks of beat up running shoes. This is not what we are talking about…
Some of my favorites:
Air Jordan 4 (IV) - Black / Cement Grey
-
Jordan IV's = the pinnacle. had some when they came out, still my favorite Nikes by far.
Could not have said it better myself!
-
Ronaldish, the Tweeds are rad! Have a pair of the newer version myself. What size are you?
-
Wore these today to give my feet some rest from the boots.
I have these kicks since 2005. Still rocking them as and when i like!
Holy CRAP i love those!
I don't know nike all that well.. what model are those?
I have some chucks i usually wear w my raw jeans but they are starting to kill my feet… what other shoes go well with this sorta stuff besides desert boots? Like regular shoes... that won't kill my feet.
Chucks are cool and all but lately i feel like they are just for looking cool sitting down. haha -
Those are Nike SB Tweed Dunk Hi. If I remembered correctly, they were released in 2004. And i managed to get these in early 2005.
There is a low-cut version as well, but colors are slightly different.
You can still find them in ebay.

Nice. I have the UNLV's somewhere in storage. Bought them in HK years ago. A pair I will def keep as I have worn them. Enjoy!
