I could see girls, or guys who are light in the loafers wearing these, but thats about it. Or yea like soemone else said, gay clowns too. After seeing this i'm sure Nike could release just about any stye shoe (ridiculous or not) and label as "limited edition," and they would sell like hot cakes.

Dude its the colors.... Doesn't matter if Spoon, Mugen, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc branded them. The colors are the turnoff, unless you're a chick.

I'd walk barefoot on broken glass and through a puddle of HIV infected blood before wearing those freak shoes.

Can you explain all the hype about these crazy Nike's that people seem to be so interested in? Theres a 50+ page thread on Honda-Tech where people are showing off all their ugly shoes and I just don't get it. I've never seen someone wearing anything like this on the street, so what's the incentive?

Nike Dunks, SB (Skateboard), and Air Force 1 are made in limited quantities... also only certain shoe shops have accounts and get these shoes. Alot of shoes are designed by famous artist and are only available in certain parts of the country and world also.

The reason y u dont see alot of ppl wearing these shoes is because.. wearing them will cause the value of them to drop dramatically. Alot of collector keep their shoes deadstock (never worn).

I personally enjoy collecting them because its a fun hobby and one of the few hobbies that is actually profitable.

When Dunks come out you can purchase them from authroized retailers for about $64.99.. authorized retialers cant sell the shoes for more than that. Airforce 1 cost $89.99 and you just have to research when and where they will be released. Sometimes ou get lucky but usually.. when u go to a store sneakerheads will already be there.. most usually either get up early in the A.M. and wait.. or sleep outside the store overnight


check out some of these sites

www.pickyourshoes.com
www.vintagekicks.com

some limited rare pairs can sell for thousands!

these shoes are actually a good investment..... ive seen some on ebay goin for $300 a pair.. i only paid $89.99 each.

Collector camp out and sleep outside of shoe stores overnight to get these... usually sell out in the first few minutes.

i dont wear all of mine.. i collect alot and keep the majority deadstock (Unworn)

I got them at Show City in Inverson Mall
Sell.
