    What is your favorite pair of sneakers/shoes?


    I currently like Chuck Taylor II's, anything with Adidas Boost, and Classic Toms.

    I used to be really big into snearkers. Mainly SB's, Bape, Ice Cream and Jordan's. I still look at shoes fairly often but don't buy as much as I once did.

    Same man! I used to have a lot of shoes and have always liked looking at them, but now own only 2 pairs that I really love. #Minimalist

    Slip-on and Old Skool Vans, low cut Chuck Taylor's, Busenitz Addidas, and Nike Air Force Ones. I got a couple Pumas that I wear sometimes.

    I usually wear Chuck Taylor lows or Vans Old Skool lows. I really like the Nike Air Roshes and have been looking at the New Balance 574's. I would love to have some more Jordans in my life, but the ones I want always sell out too fast and the after market price is ridiculous.

    I wasn't sure what the New Balance 574 was, but I just checked them out and OH MAN they would go great with joggers! Haven't had a pair of J's in a while. I dig the "Jordan Reveals" but guess what... they are all sold out. All vans and chucks are great. Really like how the Vans SK8 highs look.

    Ultra boost, Alpha bounce, NMD, and adidas "running" shoe. Also big fan of asics gel lytes, they are so comfy. I recommend that you cop a pair of gel lytes. I have the IIIs but the Vs are sick too

    I can relate to this topic.
    I'm a huge sneaker enthusiast but never thought investing in a closet full of sneakers was worth it. Simply because I only have 2 feet and they do get expensive.
    I'm more of a runner type so I like my Asics Gel Lyte III, Nike Flyknit, Adidas Ultraboost, and Saucony Grid 9000s.
    I have one pair of Jordan 8s but besides that basketball shoes don't fit my style.
    Jordan Brand is really sitting now because of mass production, other brands like Adidas killing it in the sneaker game, and the price point getting ridiculous for a sneaker (Jordan 3s are now $220). You would never hear of Jordans not selling out 4 or 5 years ago but even the classic Jordans are going to outlets.

    whatever is in the clearance bin is right for me.
    I never had an infatuation with shoes. For me, they are worn to get me from point A to point B. I also lack style...so that doesn't help. ;)

    Adidas Busenitz.... I've had like 8 pairs now probably, and some Vans in between. Busenitz look good and skate well though, so I can't complain. I'm not really a sneakerhead at all though

    I can’t stand how Nike is putting that sole on EVERYTHING now. It’s like they are playing leggos in the back with shoe parts.
