The Sneakers/Shoe Thread

[odin2ken]

i is fall in love with the blue

the rest never really care, cause the blue really is attracts my eyes

but if really play sneakers, nb is small case liao loh

nb is small case?...what meaning is that?

 

[ah hui]

okay, understood

i'm just a newbie, hope to learn more from you guys

No worries. Just ask. We may sound offending and straightforward. But we just want u to start on the right path. Not like some who don't know anything and call themselves sneakerheads who buy any shoes off the shelves. Normal wearer yes, any shoes u like just buy. But for sneakerheads and collectors, every detail of the shoes is important, de hype over it. Who made it and stuffs like this. Minor details that we care alot. LOL.

Fetish for shoes!

Bro, i have shown explanations and videos for proof le. Let them learn! Dun angry! HAHA.

 

[riseNshine]

Eh, NB is small case?? U kidding me? NB is the only shoe manufacturer that still has their factory in USA and UK and still handmade by locals there.

Watch these videos and tell me NB isit small case.

NB GRs are ardy comparable to Asics, Suacony, Reebok and many more brands out there in terms of quality and comfort level. Asics are also another one that has superb quality and comfort even though made in Vietnam.

Understand New balance more. They are the 1st shoe makers that has a $100 shoe in the past which people think it's crazy and it sells out.

wah, really ah..

thanks for showing me the world

cause i feel like more people would go for AJ, air max, flyknit, asics all these

i think the more i post here, the more things i will know sia

This is just NB leh. Still got asics and Saucony. AJs are a no for me. Even nike. Asics yes!

I tell u why i dun play nikes and jordans.

N.O 1 : It is an excess of supplies everywhere, the quantity of it is like any other normal shoes yet de price tag on it is so expensive which i dun find the point. Pinoys and USA ppl are crazy over them cos they come of a very rich basketball heritage. But some pinoys make use of this and resell those kicks, which to me is no respect to the sneaker world, the sneakers and Michael Jordan. Hate Resellers.

N.O 2 : Nike and Jordan are sort of under the same company that started out in the past. They use to have super quality in their shoes. But ever since they find their way to cheap labour and lower manufacturing costs, they ported their manufacturing factories to China, Indonesia and some asian countries. Thus QC is not there, replicas of nikes and jordans are everywhere, especially in China

N.O 3: Because of the lousy quality checks and manufacturing quality, Nike/ jordans are know for midsole crumbling and creasing so badly. Nike/jordan uses stitching instead of just gluing the midsole to the outsole. Stitching will wear off because it's just cloth or linen, water and oxygen and friction of the shoes will cause those threads and stitch to thinen and after awhile it will be loose. Dats the time when they glue which they use very little of will cause the whole mid sole to crumble and open up.

Nike Airmax has air pockets because of their zoom air unit. Which is very comfortable, i agree cos i have a Lebron X "Prism" edition. But because it is filled with oxygen and CO2, which are gases, and it comes into contact with moisture/water when u head out of ur house. In long run, it causes the midsole to be weak and it will literally crumble open and it will not be able to wear anymore.

This are details that affect the sneaker game u play.

Fac19 knows it cos i have literally mentioned it to him and i think i even let u try an Asian made 574 and the USA made models and uk made models right? The comfort level is significant different and u can feel it immediately.

bro, pardon me for bring so 无知

No worries. U r here to learn just like us when we just started. Maybe ur tone can adjust abit, more of a learning tone den just stating ur statement in a way we may think it is rude. Cheers.

Those who wanna learn abt Nike/Jordans, can go google abt their midsole crumbling and quality issues.

I'm not gonna propaganda NB just because i work thr, I have turn to Asics more for their General releases compared to NB GRs, I now go for NB collabs mostly. Unless de colour on a certain model turns me on.


Oh and one more thing. Those who interested in learning more. Can join this website/forum, Sole Harmony

Would be interesting to see you go head-to-head with a Nike staff, bet the conversation would create fireworks more impressive than those seen on 31Dec countdown. But I will not pick a winner, even though I'm a betting man......

To each their own bro, you cannot really say millions of Nike/Jordan shoe buyers are all dumb. Not everyone wants a pair of sneakers that last longer than one's own lifespan; bottomline is it has to be something one is happy to wear, regardless of brand/make/price/exclusivity, etc.

Reseller? Anyone who is not a authorised dealer is a reseller, even some who frequent this thread. Cant say reselling is a bad thing, as not everyone has connections to get directly. Without resellers, people in this part of the world will hardly be able to get what they like. Its not as if LE really sells limited edition stuffs, I'm sure you know what I mean.....
