The OCT Basketball Culture Series 1 - Sneakers

[Mico]

As we all know, a big part of Bball is shoes. Anyone here collect sneakers? Post your kicks here! I have included some of my own sentimental favourites.

Cons Larry Johnson. These bad boys are still one of my all time favourites.

My first jordans and still one of my favourites. Air Jordan IX

And anybody remember the LA Gear Mailman shoes? I can't find any pics of them but damn i used to love mine.

Nice thread!
I had a pair of those LJ Cons back in year 5 or 6 i think it was and tore them out

I don't really collect sneaks on a hardcore level but have a few pairs of kicks in the cupboard.
These are my only 2 pairs of bball for now, still trying to track down a pair of Jordan V black/carolina blues

Nice kicks guys,Twizz the Aston Martins are sick, Jinrai love the royal foams and the spacejams and the cool greys
heres my kicks guys, collect Brons but just found a new love while I was away in USA, (foamposites) so I gotta get them all now





I had to get 2 pairs of the entourages 1 to wear and 1 to keep, they look crazy I luv them
The Pewter Foams I got in Times square NYC, dudes waited in lines outside the previous morning to them being released even though it was about -5 degrees, the funny thing is I didnt wait in line but a couple of days later house of hoops in NYC got another shipment of them and I got them



I think this Tee goes well in this thread

Ohhhh I almost forgot this bad boy

I got a pair of t-max 1's still, but they are pretty worn. I also got the black scottie pippen tempo's in great condition which I wear occasionally. I had a pair as a kid and wrecked them, so I got a new pair about 3 years ago.

I love the kemp kamikazees and have always wanted a pair. Don't know if i'll ever pull the trigger and actually spring for a pair though.

Nice collection guys! I try to wear all mine, slowly getting through them.. most are Deadstock for now though, Jordans are all worn except for the Space Jams
