K Swiss Classics, anybody ever sport these back in the day?

[Tre]

my wife almost started crying when i came home with a pair of white reebok kicks the other day.  "for such a racist, you sure do think you're black"

L O L!!  

*instant classic*

Parker - I didn't like it back then, but it was only after I was older that I really discovering my seething hatred for anything which taught 'white love' and all that shit.  

Now, love me some white womens, but pretty much hate everything else that's deemed 'white'.  That's not strange, is it?

[SilverSpoon]

Parker, my freshman year of high school is when the overalls hit the scene (1990).  I had a pair as well, and may have put the one strap down at times.
So, maybe I was trying to be "down", but that was my limit.  I swear.

Your a strange man, in a strange world Tre...Ive always like black, the color...Its the unknown, my reasoning...Why are we afraid of the dark, when we know that the same things are there when the light are off? Well, its because the dark (black) represents the unknown. And also possibly its a encoding in us from the hunter gather days, where the dark is when the "bad" predators came out...

Haha, SilverSpoon....in fact I remember watching that show...
I bet you were listening to ChrisCross and went got some Karl Kani and Cross Colors...

[SilverSpoon]

Parker, I never EVER went Cross Colors or Kani.
I was always a lover of Polo, and most of my wardrobe was very preppy (Claiborne, Alexander Julian, etc.)

Of course, then Wu Wear came out....wait a second!!!!

Ha, you know everybody made fun of Hammer for having a line, then Wu Wear came out, nobody siad a thing...

I even have a Wu-Tang Comicbook, #0 from Wizard magazine.

[SilverSpoon]

The best part about Wu-Wear was the promo song.
That was around 1996-97. 

[El Diablo Blanco]

Who the fuck calls their shoes "kicks"?  Anyone that calls them that should be shot or hung from a tree.

Apparently, lots of folks, especially East Coast sneakerheads.

Here is a fairly popular sneaker website that I'm aware of:  http://www.nicekicks.com/

I used to have a subscription to Sole magazine, a sneakerphile's bible

[Parker]

Parker, one of my law school friends was a sneaker maniac.
He used to hang outside of certain Philly shoe stores waiting for limited releases.
I used to tell him that he was being very childish, as we were going to be wearing suits and Allen Edmonds shoes soon, and not wearing sneakers when we go out in the city, unless we were just grabbing a beer at a dive bar.

I used to do the same thing, although i have a fetish for Air Rifts...
I have the men's versions of these...http://www.amazon.com/Nike-Womens-Black-Style-315766-021/dp/B0030HQ6N0


And I used to go to here...

[SilverSpoon]

Why did you like the Rifts?
Seriously.

[Parker]

Seriously.

I thought that they were cool. I have three pairs, all black (white swoosh), all white (black swoosh and strap), but it does feel weird wearing the split toed socks. They are lightweight and good for just causal beach wear or around the house.

[ManBearPig...]

White Reebok Tennis Classics or the running classics? Black folk are soo much on your mind, you haaad to opt for the Mooley Shoes, because they are sooo kewl!

Ha,ha Tre...


Yeah Big Dub,as soon as I got my pair, I was in the dirt going "Zip, Zip..." real fast with my feet going back and forth.

And I remeber my first and last pair of fish-heads (no name shoes), I was teased for all eternity for those shoes...

tennis classics of course.

[Parker]

tennis classics of course.

Oh, shizzle-nit! You are straight! You can rock those with any type of jeans, shorts, even a sports coat and jeans...those are like Nike Air Force 1s low tops...a classic that can serve multi-purpose duty, the Swiss Army knife of shoes.

[Captain Equipoise]

That's all I ever wear going to the club.  K-Swiss's.  Throw on a blue Nautica shirt, Kaiki shorts and I'm ready to roll.  

Hahaha, a REAL club doesn't allow running shoes.

Unless you're talking Bob's Bar and grill BBQ

in my personal experience , you'd be right....if you're black.  black dudes can pull off most fashions, no matter how extravagant they are.  i just look like an idiot walking around the mall with a stroller and rocking shiny white kicks.

i got a pair of white air max ltd's as a backup.  white with blue swoosh and sole.

[Eyeball Chambers]

I'm listening to Back in Day by Ahmad and he mentioned K Swiss, I remember rocking these shoes, and you wanted to keep them, whiter than white...what shoes you all used rock back in the day? Do not include Jordan's...I'm talking Fila's, Lottos, Diadoras, etc

Only kind I wear...

[Parker]

Run DMC Jam Master Jay limited edition.
I wonder if one day someone is going to talk about the Flex Wheeler shoes...

I don't really wear the Run DMC edition, but I do have a shit load of Adidas Shell Toes...

One of the most comfortable shoes are the Sambas aka East Coast Chucks...

[SilverSpoon]

Parker, my best friend in high school used to wear the Samba K's, which meant the upper level Samba, made from kangaroo skin.  Much softer, so he said.

And, let us not forget one of the best of the "Swiss Army knife" of all tennis shoes:  the Stan Smith and the Rod Laver models from Adidas.  Great pair of shoes to wear with no socks in the summer time.

Everyone I know has those shoes but me!

Yep, and the Saucony's and the old school track style  blue Pumas with the "waffle" sole.
