i'm sure some of you have seen this before but Sole Collectors Kicks on Cards section is good fun: more here - http://kicksoncards.tumblr.com/


Welcome to Friday and another edition of the Kicks on Cards Collection. This week is jam-packed full of sneaker heat spotted on basketball cards, beginning with Scottie Pippen in the Nike Air Pippen II. From 1998, the simple and sleek Air Pippen II helped usher in the Zoom Air cushioned, streamlined designs that would characterize Nike's basketball models from the Alpha Project in the late 1990's and early 2000's. On this card we get a clear shot of Scottie's pair white-based colorway (along with a cameo appearance by Allen Iverson).
Next up is fellow 1990's NBA superstar Penny Hardaway, with a rare look at his Air Jordan IX PE in the road "Charcoal" colorway with Magic blue accents. With the many Air Jordan 9 Retro colorways hitting the market in a seemingly constant flow, a look at Penny's awesome PE pair from 1994 makes you wonder why Jordan Brand hasn't dropped this colorway again. Who would love to see Penny's PE return?
Follwing Penny is Walt Williams and his calf-length socks, seen here in the Nike Air Solo Flight in its 1993 version. The Air Solo Flight '93 is more or less a higher cut Air Maestro with visible Air. An awesome shoe, but one we've still never get the retro love.
Finishing up this week's five card set is Jerry Stackhouse in the FILA Stackhouse and Benoit Benjamin in the Nike Air Revolution.

yeah wandered down, was good fun. A lot of people - more than I expected.

Haven't decided if i'm going to wear my toros yet, there an 11.5 if you are interested i'll give you first shot at them.
 
Thanks man but i think theyd be too small 12 and 12.5 are good for me in 4's, you can try eastbay tonight for the low concords if you want them

I tried everywhere to get a pair of the Concords lows.

I went to footlocker at 7am and the line had around 60 people in it and i knew for a fact the store was only getting 2 pairs in each size.

I then tried kickz101 and they sold out online straight away

I then tried eastbay. Didn't have any luck to begin with so waited around an hour then tried again. After any hour of clicking (add to cart) i managed to get a pair :)

Cost me all up $193.00US.

Im hoping the space jam lows will be easy to get as a lot of people seem to be put off them by the speckles on the back of the shoe.

Next up for me is some pairs of Grant Hill Filia's

If anyone has any size US9 shoes for sale let me know :)
 
Wait.... do you guys wear ANY of these shoes that you get in regularly??

Serious question!
