Shoe Heads

[sauga_kid]

Just wondering if there are any shoe heads here on TM3? Post some pics of your Grails.

[Wild Weasel]

You seek the Grail???

[sauga_kid]

Well, just got mine late last year, 2 pairs! Will post pics later, at work right now.

[majic]

not the holy grail.. he's talking about shoes..

i think

r2squared and pearly are shoe freaks IIRC ;)

[sauga_kid]

Thanks for chiming in on that majic, my bad:blush I assumed the shoe heads would know what I was talking about.

Grail: A rare shoe that you've always wanted but always escaped you

[Wild Weasel]

Are you all women? Or is "shoe" a metaphore for something else that I'm not understanding?

[Garu]

Usually guys don't have shoe fetish...

[sauga_kid]

Sneakers mang...collecting shoes or interest in shoes isn't just a female thing!

[Wild Weasel]

Yes dude. It is.

Unless you play for the other team, I suppose.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :chuckle

[sauga_kid]

Dude, far from playing for the other team...don't get mad cuz you aren't getting yours:chuckle maybe when pay day comes rolling around? j/k

[sauga_kid]

:OT

[Hazy]

I'm a sneaker head.

[azn_outlaw]

Sneakers eh....

we talkin Air Force 1, Nike Dunks, Air Max, air max, Air Jordans

Addidas shelltoes, BAPE...

personally dont collect but never found a solid place in the GTA to buy a pair...

except for the typical places in downtown Queen street

where do you shop yo?

[sauga_kid]

Yeah, that's what I'm refering to...usually pick up the harder to find shoes at Goodfoot...really depends

[Hazy]

check out livestock. Theres couple places downtown but usually good ones sell out quick.

[bluntman]

Do you guys wear these shoes or do you keep them in their boxes?

[Wild Weasel]

Pretty sure that has more to do with the wedding ring than with what shoes I'm wearing. :chuckle

Hmm...

So this is what a metrosexual is, eh? :pop

I used to have a huge collection of Jordans, flightposites, etc. I still have a few of my fav's. I have sold off a lot over the past few years.

I wore AJ XI's at my wedding (after dinner). LOL

[sauga_kid]

I usually wear them, but try to keep them as clean as possible. I just picked up the OG Foamposites, I picked up one pair to wear and one to keep DS.

I like the XI's, black on black colourway I'm assuming?

[Skarbro]

What the f...?

[MattC]

my "grail" are birkenstocks.

Sauga, I guess your hero is Turtle from Entourage then if you like shoes that much :)

[Wild Weasel]

What the f...?

I dunno dude. I'm totally weirded out by this whole thread. :(

Does this mean I'm getting old and not in step with the youth of today? No pun intended... :chuckle

[MattC]

I have 3 pairs of shoes to my name, all the same brand, in varying degrees of decay...

I would rather spend money on my car.

[Wild Weasel]

I've got more than 3 pairs but they're all for specific purposes.

[BLKOUT]

I want to find a pair of Nike Flights from the early 90's, the black and white ones....I have looked all over and can't find them. :(

[azn_outlaw]

I want them to bring back

those platform clear heal boot with fish swimming inside the heal...

damn I would so rock those for any meet :P

[Caz]

Black and white at my wedding and I wore Black on black to my Prom.

I used to back in the 90's before the whole retro craze and online auctions. One to wear and save for later.

At one point I had over 60 pairs of Nike/Jordan's that were deadstock or very close.

[Kevin@nextmod]

I'm a jordan freak. I have a few sets of his shoes.
I got 5,6,11, 12, 13, 14, 18b, 20 in original white and red, and white and brownish reverse pattern, and 21s. Also collected kobe's with his original and his addidas silver 2nd gen and 3rd gen silver, but stopped buying his shoes, cause they look like ass.

[BLKOUT]

most newer shoes look like ass!

[Wild Weasel]

I find most newer shoes look exactly the same to me as shoes have looked for as long as I can remember. http://www.michelleandkevin.ca/forum/images/smiles/gotme.gif

[raggs]

I'm with Weasel! Do work boots count?

[iconicrocket]

I just have 3 pairs, one for sports activity, one for work and one for formal engagements.

[Wild Weasel]

I've got a few 1:18 scale cars. About the same size as shoes I don't wear... and I suppose they're just as useful. :)

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Anyone wanna top off there collection with a BNIB Green Converse High Top Chuck Taylors ?

Also have a pair of Low Top Red.

J/K Both are well wore, from my SK8R days.

Dude, I was never very good, but I looked like I knew what I was doing..

[Skarbro]

Heh... I'm an old school skater too. I quit year ago and started up again after 11 years. Heck I still buy and wear skate shoes! Right now I have a pair of Chet Thomas Globe shoes.

I had a pair of those - loved them - my favorite Nike of all time! The bladder broke - they couldn't find another pair in my size, ended up with Air Max 2 CB '94 - still have those somewhere...
