Just copped the Nike Air More Uptempo Pippen's today at Finish Line. They are the 2012 Olympic Edition in obsidian blue with the white "AIR" lettering on the sides and they were hard as hell to find. Finally found them at Westfield in Toledo after everywhere online was sold out. One of my favorite sneakers ever by Nike, originally released back in 1996.

So fresh that I decided to put mulch around them and plant them in a garden.

So, what's your favorite sneaker? These are definitely up there for me, but I would have to go with 2001's The Kobe. Had a pair of these in eighth grade and scored in bunches in them.

The Air Jordan franchise has definitely produced some classics. The only ones I ever owned, though, were the Air Jordan 14s. (I was always a big fan of Kobe's Adidas', Chris Webber's DaDa's and Iverson's Answer line. Kinda skipped over Jordan.) Definitely not the best of the series by any means, but they were a nice shoe to play in while in junior high. Had them in all black with the neon green logo (can't find pic).

Air Jordan 12's

Probably also the last time I really wore sneakers as my every day shoe.

That's a good point LJ, I haven't worn sneakers at my everyday shoe since I was about 13.

This. Sneakers were cool when my parents were buying them for me. I can't remember the last time I paid over $50 for a pair of shoes. Expensive shoes just seem like an unwarranted cost for me.

Wore these in junior high! Now if I buy sneakers, new balance made in America shoes for me. I only buy a pair every couple of years running shoes.

...I have a pair of Asics and also a a pair of Brooks Beast that I alternate with for my daily for workouts. The Brooks are one of the more comfortable shoes I've bought over the years and seem to be holding up pretty well.

Had a pair of the black Larry Bird Cons back in 7th grade. Magic Johnson also had a version of it was well in a diff color.
Man..those things were HEAVY AS HELL!!!!




Was rocking the Run Avant from Nike for about 800miles, until that was discontinued. TOok awhile but found that they almost basically just changed the name from Avant to LunarFly because it used the Lunarlon.

Used some Asics...I liked them but they didnt seem to last nearly as long. I am not a slave to a certain company as I will stay in a product line until it changes too much or gets canned then go to the running store to look for new ones.

Naw. The Kobe -- and the Pippens -- are classic basketball sneakers.

I only wore the shoes mentioned for basketball purposes on the court, which is perfectly acceptable and what they are made for. They look nice and also have a little bit of flash. I didn't walk around town in a Denver Nuggets hat wearing DADA supremes. I'm not Waca Flocca Flame.

I also owned a pair of these. And they were sick.

The Jordan's that CC posted were my everyday shoe for the past few years. Now I am wearing Black Nike Dual Fusions. Very comfortable and breathable.
