sneakers SNEAKERS sneakers

i know i can't be the only Archinect'er that has a sneaker collection that is realistically unnecessary...but yet so damn fulfilling...
hoping to start a thread that keeps us globally aware of releases, insider info, plans for urban campouts, individual sales/trades, who's looking for what, etc. etc.

still love my kenneth cole reaction 'holey moley' sneakers. not good for running exactly, but good for roof hatch ladders. (split sole.)

just thought of this....does anyone have older tennis/running/basketball shoes, in decent to great shape that they want to get rid of for either free or small money? i collect these things...just realized, this might be a good place to ask around...

my wife finally talked me into getting rid of my circa-1986 clam toes about a month ago. they didn't look this good:

i've never heard 'clam' used before, only 'shell,' as in 'shell toes.'

i still have a white pair with fat laces...i've had 'em since high school.

I can't afford to be a collector, but I keep an eye on what's out there and even pick a pair up occasionally.

I grabbed a pair of air max 95's back in the spring. had been waiting on those fo a while. also got a pair of jordan iv's and xi's (space jam colorway).

Ross - a similar pair of 95's were released saturday morning, nike did a one time only release of hybrids...using the upper of the 90,95,97 and 360 models, with the new nike 360 air system for the sole. I camped out here in boston for about 12 hrs to get a few pairs of them...

FT, sneakers only. We already have al least two shoe threads.

Who wants to start the sandal line of inquiry?

And I understand the rent or shoes dilemna. Hard.

this month was tough...i gave up rent for 4 pricey pairs...nike sb releases a shoe to celebrate the mexican holiday 'day of the dead' which will cause another dent in the pocket...

chef: what do you think of the jordan dub zero's?

I didn't think much of them at first, but a few colorways have grown on me. they've got a hybrid thing similar to the air max's you picked up.

there is a new dub zero colorway being released. i actually only like the original patent blk/white's. There is a spike lee version of the jordan coming out (possibly in december) that is pretty serious...combination of 3s, 4s, 5s....
when i camped out for the 1 time only's, the majority of people were camped for the jordan grapes..(5's in wht/prp/grn)...limited release, which were not nearly as nice as the green beans that got general release the week before...

the link to the spike's:
