Nike Kobe

The AF1 white-on-whites with the ice sole were not necessarily my favourite sneakers, but definitely impacted my shoegame the most.
The story goes like this…
So I was all set for back-to-school, with my fresh whites. I show up to school, and lo-and-behold I see the same exact shoes I have on about 20 other dudes’ feet. So I went back to footlocker and got the fresh-whites with the ice blue soles. They’re a classic with a little bit of “umph”. Bread and butter, baby. Still use sea glow on ‘em to this day to keep those soles fresh.

my favorite purchase of shoe had to be the Jordans 11′s. This purchase meant alot to me because these were the first Jordan shoes i ever bought and i ever bought with my own money. Plus the design was like nobody seen before. It was simple and sick. No fancy straps or stipes. when i weared these to school all the kids would be complemting my shoes. On the court i would ball up like jordan. And off the court i would be pimpin like Jordan. Plus these shoes were so sicck a kidd wanted to get down for them!

My favorite shoe purchase of all time is my Jordan CP’s. Since I started collecting, I have wanted a pair of Jordan’s but I had never been able to afford it. My family couldn’t afford that much money for shoes and I had to put all my money from my job towards other things. When I heard about these shoes I knew they would be sick. Chris Paul is my favorite basketball player and the Jordan brand is a classic. I saved everything I could to be able to get these and have wore them with pride on the hardcourt.

when i first learned how to walk my older brother made sure that my mother got me a pair of jordan. they happen to be jordans 5. At the time i couldnt appreciate them but i always kept them on my dresser. Now 17 years later for my graduation present i went out and bought the same exact pair of jordan 5′s and gave the little ones to my brothers new born son as his first pair of sneakers ever.

My favorite shoe purchase has to be the Zoom Kobe I, not only did it resemble Kobe’s amazing feat of 81 but it also showed everything about kobes game; as soon as i saw the white ones i HAD to cop em…next game i dropped 50…was it the shoes?

It was my very first purchase of a basketball shoe. I think i was 11 or 12, my mom took me to footlocker to get a pair. I wanted the very first pair of the Air Jordans, just so all the kids would know me as the kid with those pair of the “AIR Jordans!” Well tried them on, it was perfect…until mom saw the price and she said “WHAT!” I think you gotta look at this instead, the Nike conversion…which was a cheap pair but the look was some what similar. I counldn’t believe it. I had to just settle for it. If it wasnt for that purchase who know maybe I wouldnt buy so many Jordans now days.

It’s one hour away from my opening college ceremony. They told us to dress nicely, but not overly. Still, I’m wearing my old Nike Air Zoom Adrenalines, and loving their flashing light blue and grey style. They’re old worn out now, and far from achieving classic sneak status, but have grown into my lucky shoes, as I have worn them an astounding number of times. My sneakers not only rocked the court through blood, sweat- tears sometimes-but also dance floors, experiencing life, love and pain through tears of beer or champagne. I can’t wait to introduce them to the President.

Nike Air Zoom Huarache Elite II TB in varsity royal. Probably my favorite basketball shoe I have ever played in, these shoes were the lightest, most-comfortable, and best-supporting shoes I had ever worn. Plus, their futuristic look was sick. And to top it all off, they were the first shoes I ever bought with my own cold, hard cash. I got them to commemorate my first year on my varsity team. Great decision.

The Fila Seize in white and red. I had just gotten out of the Marines, where I really started loving the game. I was staying with my sister & her family, so my nephew Eli & I palled around all the time. I started teaching him the game & he loved it so much, I talked his parents into letting him play in the YMCA youth league. He was extra excited to get his jersey, so I decided to take him shoe shopping. He picked out his shoes & I got some too to rep him on the sidelines.

The greatest shoe purchase I have ever made was a couple of weeks ago when I bought a pair of Converse Wade Slash. It was the last shoe in my wade collection with Converse. It was a sad purchase because it marked the end of Wade’s affiliation with Converse. It was also an exciting purchase because his shoes with Jordan will hopefully be just as good if not better.

The GREATEST shoe purchase i am ever going to make is when i get this 100 dollar gift card and i buy myself a nice pair of Nike Huarache. So please choose me!

Best shoe purchase I ever made was my first pair of Adidas Superstars. Black and white. No frills, no gimmicks, no space-age materials. Just fresh and clean. They were the shoes I wore the first time I got on stage, the day I got married, and the day I wrote this.

When you’re an impressionable 9 year old, it’s easy to think that you could fly. Watching MJ soar, I was immediately attracted to his feet. The black soles, white upper, red accents, and winged Jordan logo did it for me. I was hooked and I needed those kicks, BAD. Everyday, I would beg my parents. I told them that these shoes will make me jump as high as Mike. After several weeks of begging, my parents relented and forked over the dough to the friendly Footlocker cashier. Since then, I’ve been indebted to my parents for giving me one of the greatest gifts ever.

My favorite shoes ever were my Zoom generations ( LeBrons first shoes). I use to ball in them everyday and wore them to school and they just felt perfect and I wish I still had them.

It was the very first basketball shoe I bought. It was beautiful. I knew I had to get it the second I saw it. Lace loops spelling REEBOK. Amazing! cushioning. The suede toe. The number 3 on the back. That shoe give me chills down my spine!. The Reebok Questions were the sexiest shoe ever. A young AI straight out of Georgetown inspired me to play basketball and his kicks made me want to play it even more. This shoe made me play harder and take it to whole over and over like Iverson. I still rock this shoe and just like Ivey this isnt ever gonna get played out.

I got my first pair of Jordans when I was 5. I was probably the happiest kid in the world. The main reason being that I had shoes from the best basketball player ever. I actually thought Michael Jordan had worn them before me. I wasn’t the brightest child. I would wear those shoes wherever I went. And I always took a cloth with me everywhere so I could constantly clean my shoes. I loved those shoes more than my sister at that time. I still have them today to remind me of the good times!

The best purchase I made wasn’t for me but for one of the players I coached. He was my star player but couldn’t afford shoes. I bought him Jordan 13s. When I gave him the shoes his face lit up. One of the happiest moments of my life. I gave something to someone that needed it and put a smile on someones face. It was an amazing feeling, the boy became more confident allowing his game to flourish. He appreciated these shoes. This experience changed my life because I touched somebody elses life. I learned the importance of giving back.

My Favorite Shoes Were the Air jordan 3, they were my dream shoes. And on my 13th birthday i got those shoes. I went crazy when i got them. For days i couldn’t belive i finally got my dream shoes. I kept those shoes in the box 4 like 3 or 4 months and didn’t touch them cause i didn’t want anything happening 2 those shoes. Even though i had those shoes for like 3 or 4 years, and i still keep them in the box. I rarely wear those shoes. They shoes mean a lot 2 me

My favorite shoe purchase of all time based solely on sentimental value would be the time my moms bought me a pair of Reebok Pumps; only they weren’t the real deal. They were the ones with the BIG pump. Kind of a budget version of the official Reebok Pumps that Dee Brown and them were wearing. Anyway, although I noticed they were slightly different, I couldn’t care less, because my moms out of her tight budget bought me these things. Thanks Mom.

My favorite shoe purchase as a kid was when my parents bought me some Fila strap basketball shoes. I tried to find the name on the internet, too hard plus I got these in the 8th grade in the early 90′s. No one, I mean no one had these and they cost my parents $85.00 dollars. I had to clean up for a long very long time. Worth it though, because they lasted a long time, bring FILA back, we need a Superstar to rep them. These were the Kicks, because they were orginials, these were classics.

My favorite had to be my jordan 8′s i was a freshman in high school and my dad just came home from the united states and Back then in the philippines it was really just the older guys who wore signature kicks so i came to school wearing them and people just started looking and i loved the attention because everybody knew me coz of my jordan 8′s and thats when i got hooked on kicks as it played a big part in raising my status back in high school.

The first shoe i purchased came out of sheer determination. I pushed the ref in the shoe store down, took my air jordans, then bolted out of footlocker as fast as i could. The poor security couldnt handle me with my running shoes on. -

My Favourite shoe purchase took place three weeks ago. Thursday night, while checking my weekly email from my favourite local store, I learnt that they had gotten in a shipment of the Air Jordan Retro III’s in the ‘True Blue’ Colorway. My jaw dropped. The first time I saw them was in grade 8 when the whole senior team played in them. I waited in line overnight Friday, and was the first to have them Saturday morning… 9 years since I first laid eyes on them, but I finally own a pair now. Simply amazing.

A young boy sat beaming at his 18-year-old cousin as the Zoom Kobe IV sneakers enclosed his feet. “These are perfect,” he said. Perhaps the greatest shoe purchase of my life was not one I did to self indulge, but rather sacrificed my meager savings so that my little cousin could wear decent sneakers. The sight of my cousin smiling continuously left a very memorable impression on me. That single action of generosity I had performed was indeed the greatest shoe purchase of my life because I learned that a man wrapped up in himself makes a small bundle.
