    I dig 'em, but not sure if I can pull them off. They're a bit...loud.

    Whatever that breathable mesh material they keep using in all these shoes is, I want them to quit using it. I hate that texture in a shoe

    I'm not really a fan of the color scheme on either of those. I'm sure they are great shoes but the style and color stuff just isn't my thing.

    We've had a couple of children over the past few years (& what that does to a budget) combined with the fact that I haven't been enamored with the post-Kobe retirement iterations of his shoes has slowed me down on purchasing sneakers these days. However, the Kyrie 5 "Mamba Mentality" shoes that were just released this past weekend were too enticing to pass up. I dig these ones:

    The subtle Kobe markings pushed this one over the edge for me. I dig the half Kobe/half Kyrie logos on the tongues as well as each of their sigs on the heels. A nice omage and hopefully some good juju that will push Kyrie away from the evil empire this Summer...Just doing my part.

    You guys feelin these?

    Thank God for Nike's periodic re-releases of Kobe classics I missed the first time around. Just grabbed these beauties:

    I like them a lot. I prefer the old school look to the breathable mesh, but the color scheme is nice.

    My all time faves are Jordan 3's and 4's. Those Pennies posted earlier are daf too. I also wore Griffeys cleats for baseball in high school and college. Regular everyday kicks are air maxes/chucks/boots(harley/cowboy). Only wear cowboy boots when riding horses though, I hate the way they look lol
