Any Sneakerheads Here?

[MitchelltheGreat]

I can't guarantee this is the right section but I guess sneakers are related to sports. anyways, I am a big fan of buying and collecting sneakers. My most recent purchase is the new Hyperdunk 2012s in a neon green color.

Any thoughts? Tell me about your recent sneaker purchases. I would love to have a nice conversation about sneakers with this community!

Personally I think them shoes are awesome, but I'm from England and we don't really have "sneakers" as such but I recently bought these shoes: http://www.schuh.co.uk/mens-white-and-blue-adidas-decade-og-mid/3404503120

ive never worn aididas before but the colorway on those are pretty nice. It looks like a pretty classic basketball shoe.

They are in the basketball section but this type of shoe is becoming more popular I believe. I like them anyway there well comfy

Right now I'm keeping an eye out on the jordan release dates. The olympic 6s came out but Im waiting for the Retro 4s. Opinions?

I use to be a crazy sneakerhead, but I've spent less money on them and don't ball as serious anymore, I had the hyperdunk 2011 in red colourway (the best looking hyperdunks out of the series IMO), and also had many puma/jordan & nike hi-tops.

Those jordan's above look ok, I've got a pair of the Jordan/Spike-lee "Spizikes" MARS edition, put me back $170-180 and they are way better than what are posted above, they're very vintage actually and I don't even wear them that much anymore!

Also, those Hyperdunk's you posted look FRESH, would put them up there with the hyperdunk 2011s, the bottom looks like what they put on the LunarGlide runners, that circle looks like they copied it off dwyane wade's/jordan's shoe, nonetheless looks like something I would purchase if I was still balling seriously

Interesting post. I loved some colorways of the spizikes when they came out. my favorite is the red spizike

Now I am not saying the spizikes Mars edition are ugly, but you can't really compare them to a retro Jordan that is 1) sold out in all stars, 2) has people camping out for them and 3) causes footlocker.com, finishline.com, champs.com etc. to crash. I guarantee the Retro 4s will have the same effect as the Concord 11s released earlier this year which caused some Mall riots. Nevertheless it is your opinion.

I agree with you that the Hyperdunk 2011s are up there. I recommened my little brother to buy the Black and White hyperdunks cause they were 80$!

Its also funy you would compare the bottoms to the lunarglides because you are absolutely right. The bottoms are almost identical to them. and plus, the hyperdunk 2012s are meant to be lightweight possibly competing against the crazy lite 2s by adidas. 12.4 ounces vs 9.5 ounces small but noticible.

Anyways thanks for your comment!

Fuck dude, I realized I was talking about the wrong shoe, I ball in the hyperdunk 2010s!!

Exact same colourway, they look fucking boss with white socks, replace the red with blue and they look boss aswell.

Air jordan 2011s with white socks look boss aswell, and shoes you can ball with

Yeah I feel you. Sneakers are pricely investment with not really much resale value unless you get some limited editions. Vans is a pretty popular brand for most teenagers in my school who skateboard or bmx. Jeremy scotts are pretty flashy if you ask me but hey, i would love to own a pair.

Hyperdunk 2010s are pretty nice. not gonna lie. as for sneakers you would ball in, i prefer sneakers under 100$. Don't wanna feel bad if they scratched or dirty. If you search hard enough you can cop some kobes for under 100$ with the right promo codes.

Alright I'd like to know your guys thoughts on the New Hyperdunk 2012s WITH NIKE +. Useful? Scam? Worth 250$?
