Lets Talk Kicks

[MrsJrotax101]

You've heard of Kicks being used this way? I thought this must have been a Yankee thing. Me ring from the west of Canada, we say running shoes. I always laugh when I hear people say sneakers.

In England, they're called "Trainers."
I was quite confused when Robert first told me that he couldn't find his trainers.

Yes, I've heard the term kicks before.....and I've also used the term sneakers.....maybe even very recently.

You sneak around in your sneakers much?

Being old enough to see the changes myself, they were 1st called tennis shoes(50's), then came sneakers(60's) until they started marketing them for each sport(70's/80's), from runners, walkers, cross trainers, etc.
I can also add that kicks was used in the 70's but not a marketable name just as a slang word.

Back to the topic on hand... taxis are dropping this weekend. OG color way, anyone going to or planing on scooping up?

What about the x mas pack? I think the Kobe's are the best looking of all 3

Passing on the taxis. I agree the Kobe's look great but I'm loving the KD's as well!

Cool grey 1s. The color way is nice but I don't like the 1s.

My latest pick up was some Roshe calypsos. Anyone get any kicks for x mas?

 

[xXFlash21Xx]

ordered these the next day. Cant beat the price on either of them. $120 for both.

I USED to be really into Dunks but now they’re barely associated with the skateboard community and get snatched up on the SNKRS App by bots. These days I wear a lot of NMDs or Ultraboosts for comfort.

Then you need a Corvette to match.

I didn't know there was a shoe thread!


...I may potentially have sneakers of great number.

I mostly go for whatever is on sale. Last few times it's been the NB's.

Definitely time for some new ones. These have lasted about 2 1/2 years since I rotate them with 2 other very similar pairs.

The collection, and then the prize. They're AJ1 "Red Elephant" colorway. Betcha can't tell what my favorite brand is!
