I don’t even fucks with Adidas brand no more like that, but it might be the shoes that have GILBERT ARENAS on some lights out shit throughout the Association. Dude has been styling on everyone from the Sixers to the Suns, from Memphis to Milwaukee.
Have you seen the Adidas spots that have been running during the N.F.L. playoffs starring GILBERT and now KEVIN GARNETT? Adidas is trying to get their game up to NikeSpeed. They might get there too if GILBERT keeps busting fools for no money down.
i forgot to ask you, why don’t you fuck with adidas any more homie?
I still rock my shelltoes but that’s about it.
Addidas keeps it gully son! For every twp pairs of Nike, I box 1 pair of the Addidas. Don’t front yung’un!
^^^I stopped fucking with Adi Dasslers when I went to the originals store and asked them for a bunch of their small shopping bags. I was having a birthday party and I wanted to give people gift bags filled with DP Dot Com promo shit (CDs, Kill White Tees, etc). The dude in skinny jeans was like no, because Adidas wanted to be careful who they were associated with.
I took my O.G. azz to NikeTown and they gave me a grip of shopping bags, like a case or some shit.
Moral to my story… Fuck dudes in skinny jeans. Nullus.
yeah, that’s fucked up dog. i try to buy all my shit off of the adidas originals website so i don’t have to fuck with them assholes in skinny jeans.
i took my girlfriend’s iBook to the apple store last week and i wanted to strangle that fucking tight jeans wearing ass hipster at the genius bar who tried to front on me…
moral to my story…fuck dudes in skinny jeans. Nullus.
n.b. adidas is still > nike though…all day
That’s crazy. I’m fortunate to never have stepped foot in the Addidas flagship jernt (Houston and B’way, right?). I always cop the right flavors at the Footlocker on 34th or the premium joints at Vinnie’s Style (on Flatbush and Pacific). Just copped the ill black and white plaid hi-top half shells to rock with the Black Dickies (Top shortsleeve/ bottoms ) NULLUS and crisp white thermals to emulate my Compton look. Yeah, I’d boycott too if a PSJ ( pale skinny jeans) fronted on me. And with regard to:
^ ” adidas is still > nike though…all day” …
co-sign all effin day. I know Nike keeps all the sneaker collector’s happy, but imo, there’s something a lil tey ghey about collecting footwear, no offense though.
Opens Limewire downloads Killer Mikes adidas……I can attribute everything to some form of internet exploitation……oh yeah Nike > Adidas. Gilbert is NBA’s first half MVP.
believe it…
1. rod lavers
2. grand prix
3. stan smith/stan smith comfort
4. forest hills
5. ilie nastase
all favs of the twerkolator
may sound lke blasphemy but:
stan smith > af 1’s.
After spending like a gazillion $ on AF 1’s for like over 10 years, I realized that stan’s stay whiter and crisper waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer. Crisp af 1’s = 1.5 wears. Crisp Stan Smiths = 24 + wears. Nike don’t care @ Black people!
see i knew i fucked with you for a reason combat jack…let these niggas know!
stan smiths > AF1. indeed, it is one of the greatest shoes of all time.
*the original canvas rod laver in the white/green colorway is THE greatest though: simplicity, form, style, and beauty. rock them shits in the summer time with some no-show ankle socks, shorts, and a Ralph Lauren shirt = FRESH 2 DEATH!!!
^Let me clear some shit up for those of y’all that don’t really, really overstand the sneaker lifestyle…
Twerk almost got that off, but check it, the Grand Prix is Adidas greatest shoe. They are rare gems and one of the greatest tennis shoes made. Evar. They trump even the Rod Laver O.G. which gets too dirty too quick.
The Stan Smith is a classic albeit, but only for it’s affordability and ubiquity. Them shits were never really that comfortable. So much so that Adidas had to create a comfort pair. Forest Hills and Ilie Nastase’s are both sick but none of those Adidas I mentioned can compare to Nike’s Air Tech Challenge ’90 better known as the Agassi. Them shits are the truth. Kill yourself if you don’t know this.
Air Force 1’s were dead and stinking when Nike started rocking air bubbles in their shoes. They were brought back to prominence by little scrams up in Harlem copping them in the early 90’s because you could get them for less than $30/pair at V.I.M. Scrams up in Harlem are some of the most fashion forward kids when it comes to ghetto couture. They don’t make that much cheddar from their hand to hand and they aren’t gonna waste it on clothing. Military flight jackets(orange lining) and white tees are some of their conrtributions to Hip-Hop fashion.
The Nike Dunk >>>> Nike Air Force 1. All day, ay’ day
The reason Combat Jack hates on sneaker collecting is because dude has twelve kids and they are all boys too. So every year for the beginning of school and during the spring dude is spending a wild grip on Jordans (you know the young’ns aint having it with no cornball shelltoe Adidas).
No offense to all of y’all fossil azz niggas that still rock shelltoes, but kill yourself if you aint got no Dunks in your repetoire.
Now I got to go and see what going on across the rest on the internets…
dallas, i’ll concede you the grands prix because them shits are dope…i just gave away two pair to goodwill last week (red/white & blue/white) – they made my feet smell like popcorn, but other than that they were in pretty good shape. my brother couldn’t believe i was giving them away. he advised me to take ’em up to the bluff (off of bankhead here in ATL) and just set ’em outside the church’s chicken and some j would have a late christmas…
Don’t be talking ’bout my 3 sons yo!!!
Although:
Nike Dunk >>>> AF1’s – co-sign!
