2 Pairs. The first are around $100, the second $65. I have the money, but I don't really have the money if that makes any sense. But sometimes I just can't help myself:

First pair (These look much better with the dope red laces, but that pic is un-stealable):

165$ is a lot of money for 2 pairs of non-dress shoes.

Is this a joke?

If not, then buy these:

Not a joke.

Dunks are back Glenn, where have you been?

I like both of them but not for that much money. I would consider buying them for 40$ a pair.

Where do you usually get your shoes, Walmart?

Most of my nice shoes came from Steve Madden. One of my really good friends works there and always lets me know when shoes I want are on sale. My running shoes are all New Balance and I'll admit they were all around 60-75$. I have a few old beat-up pairs of shoes like those that I got from Savers for 5$. I guess 60 isn't tTOO bad but not 100.

I've never been in to making statements with my shoes. I spend 40-60 bucks on a pair of althetic shoes every other year, but that's about it. I have a couple nice pair's of dress shoes for work too, but who cares about having fly looking shoes anyway?

I'd spend the $65 on the first, but not $100. Both are just too much Vin.

only every woman i've ever met. and FYI they like when a guy wears nice shoes. i wouldn't say that you'll get a girl just from wearing a certain kind of shoes.....but it definitely can't hurt your chances. anything that helps enhance their opinion of you is worth paying attention to.

Glenn, no offense to anyone here, but if somebody doesn't like Nike and their gear, then it says something about your personal style. I'm not trying to go fashion here because we are a bunch of dudes, BUT there is a BIG difference between Nike kicks, gear, etc. and everything else out there. There is a reason why ballers like me have been rocking Jordans since the mid 80's and there is a reason why the "Fab" Five started an athletic fashion revolution based on Nike gear- It's hands down the best. I always laugh when I open up Eastbay and there is the 5 page Nike spread and then the 1 inch addidas section with the sorry ass Wisconsin Uni's.

Now maybe you're one of these guys that could give a shit and wears the obnoxious Wal mart kicks with the Meijer stitching because it's in your damn size and you could give a shit about name brands-fine. But, I'm telling you right now, it matters to ballers. You don't think the Carolina blue Nike/Jordan uniforms appeal to ballers? Switch em up to Addidas and see how sales plummet.

Maybe you're one of the good ole boys that doesn't give a shit about what ballers like me wear, understandable. But to the rest of us that like rocking tight gear and to the ballers that want to do the same, this a huge deal.

OMG, homeboy Vinny is just beating down Glenn. Funny shit! Keep it up, I'm lovin' reading this shit. Glenn, it seems like you just keep making stuff up homie. You call out the Vinnster, yet he keeps backing his shit up. Damn dog, tuck your tail and waddle away why don't ya and we can get back to Ballin'!

Counting 田武雄 ? 689. But 田武雄 was just supposed to be a joke so it's really more like 688.

Long ago, I moved from Nike to New Balance and never looked back.

New Balance makes basketball shoes, I think. The New Balance store by me sells New Balance basketball shoes, tennis shoes, soccer cleats (I think), and a few other sports shoes.

That was a timely bump.

I still run with New Balance shoes. A hot babe wants to go shopping with me to select a better class of running shoe. I may or may not get lucky with this woman, but I will assuredly spend stupid amounts of money buying shoes.

What do I do?

Vinny

Buy the shoes. Worst case scenario? You wasted $200 on shoes. Best case scenario? You wasted $200 on shoes and got sex.
