Kicks

[Sparko]

When Russell Athletic Wear took over Adidas, you figured this would happen. Not digging all the bleached out KU shoes lately.

I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to dislike a shoe without my masculinity being threatened? Some shoes I think are ugly? That's a weird response.


Yea...I saw the Jayhawk. I'm also not automatically required to libe every piece of apparel with a Jayhawk on it. Much like there are uniforms people don't like, and shirts and goodies people don't buy.

It's a pretty normal thing and me saying they're ugly is an odd thing to get twisted about.

Yeah, you're right.

But it's totally "normal" for you to get "twisted" about a pair shoes, even if they have a Jayhawk on them.

those are hideous. absolutely terrible.

and look like anything but a basketball shoe.

yuck.

They are hideous. Its a statement of opinion. Nothing more.

I also stand by my statement that I'm not automatically required to gush in and on about everything with a Jayhawk on it. It's ok to be honest.

my goodness the gatekeeping and gas lighting is strong on this one. so strange.

Didn't mean to trigger you*.

So Q: wtf was the point of this stupid thread?

Oussie hasn't pissed off tdub in a couple of days.

I don't care for them much, either.





*That's a lie.

I have the last version, but again what's with the white? Pat Boone BB

[KUTradition]

not a fan of the overly chunky soles

yuck.

That's because they're not a basketball shoe.

That's a Stan Smith, which is a tennis shoe (literally). Adidas -- being German -- has never made a good-looking basketball shoe.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

I respectfully disagree but of course to each their own.
I feel SOME of the DRose shoes (SOME of the 773s/AdiZero 1.5s, 8s, 3s, 9s) are good looking.
SOME of the TMacs
SOME TS Commanders
SOME Garnetts
Now that being said, I just looked at the Adidas USA website and there wasn't a single Basketball show I would rate as being "good looking".

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

No, not me who bought them.

I am going to be brutally honest at the risk of total embarrassment.
These are not good but being that I have seen many shoes that are a lot worse, I wouldn't rate them as being terrible.
Would I wear them? Hell no but I would consider buying a pair - to flip.

[TDub]

my god. he struck something in people, that really.....I dont understand.

[Sparko]

Shoes for when you defecate on golden toilets. Biblically bad.

[japhy]

A rube and their money are easily parted.

my god. he struck something in people, that really.....I dont understand.

At first, for several years, I had this subliminal, almost abstract thought in the back of my mind that Trump is such an obvious, unvarnished, low rent, White Trash With Cash huckster, once the shine was off the shit, the vast majority of Americans who had bought in would tire of the chaos, the lack of results, and the hopelessly loose connection to reality, and return to the, their, mean.

It's humbling to have been so naive.

And anyone who thinks this ends if he's defeated in 2024, or if he goes to prison, or, for that matter, after he dies, is even more naive than I was, because now, we've not only seen what happened before, he regularly tells us what he plans to do.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Words I have never heard but I am sure have been said, I gotta get me some Obamas.

Or for those on a budget.....




Maybe some H.W.s?

[TDub]

I like AF1s they just have such chunky soles.

are those air max 90s? those are awesome.

[ousdahl]

can't wait to see someone wearing the Trump hi-tops in real life.

tho, also wouldn't be surprised if everyone who put down $400 for a preorder never actually receives a pair of shoes.

[TDub]

you're more of a an Adidas superstar guy yea? work better with your Adidas tracksuit?
