i tried another vendor on taobao to see if i can get the AJ 4 toros. if they are out of stock too, ill get them from another site that def has them in stock... theyll just cost more, about 25-28 usd more. im probably going to pick up the cement replicas too or another pair of the breds since ive seem to take them on as a daily driver. then maybe the white and black lasers next month.. ill focus on the 12s another time, im doing a run of 4s first.

cause ive been wearing the 2 4s i got everyday. specifically the breds, and its liberating not having to worry about scuffs, creases etc etc. i live in rural australia.. in the mountains.. we had a slushy snow the other day and i didnt even think twice about not wearing them. i even wore them to the car wash today without fear.. ive worn them to the gym and squatted/leg pressed in them.. and i wear them to work.. if these were 2-400 instead of 50, i wouldnt be so bold..

def a happy and proud member of the jordan replica club..

 

damn the slimers are hot

 

Ghostbuster KSwiss look cool.

Wore these today. i think i like my 2013? pair more but they are fine.

 

been slowly breaking in my pair too  

oldies but goodies today. a little paint cracking above the vis air slots but I can probably fix that since its just black paint with white speckle

 

Sweet. I’m interested in why? Personally, I prefer the Nike Swoosh over the Jumpman logo.

 

Man, there is NOTHING I like better than seeing some fresh J's from the first ten years. Don't get me wrong, there was some fire in the second decade, but those first 10, especially III through VIII were the prime golden years, in my opinion.

I have the 2013 Black/Cement IV's. Love em to death but the lace locks have started to discolor and in certain light it's really easy to see (at least for me). I have the White/Cement IVs with the NIKE on the back and am just waiting for "The hottest day of the summer" to wear them to Sal's famous pizzeria!!!  

 

I love the Oreo 6s. They were the last pair of Js I got on clearance at Eastbay that were actually on clearance........probably one of favorite colorways of that shoe. The ice on mine is pretty nasty though, other than that, they're in good shape and I wear them a lot. I need to try that stuff that gets the soles icy again.

 

I dunno if you saw my post above with some 2001 Space Jams. I am currently trying an experiment with some Angelus sole brite. Haven't had time to get started but I'll be sure to let ya'll know how it goes.

 

mine havent oxidized too bad. not sure if it makes a difference but I do clean off the soles regularly before I store them. so there isnt dirt and other grime that could potentially speed up the oxidation.

store in a relatively cool place and they only look slightly off-clear after almost 10 years.

 

Seeing all these pics has motivated me to put on my AJ4 Toro bravo on the weekend. It was a bit wet of a day but hey... what the heck.

 

Yep. You gotta wear your shoes! I learned this lesson the hard way by trying to keep my 2003 black/cement IIIs DS a few years ago. Imagine my rage when I went to take them out and the midsole crumbled in my hands like a cookie!!

 

speaking of the toros.. man the donald war is making getting certain items a chore, even for peeps in straya. taobao aj rep sellers be scuuured.. toros are out of stock again and the listing was pulled. haha.. the don.. so i had to go another route and pay more. its 28 usd vs 40-50 usd btw.. and boxed at 28, not that i care about the box, but im just saying

ordered the toros and the playoff 12s. bypassed the cement 4 this go around. i looked at the what the .. and wtf.. i guess that colorway is fer the young bucks.. as much as i wanted to just get two more 4s this go around, i needed another 12. i keep looking at the 3,5,6 etc etc.. and id only wear the 4, 12s and probably the 1s

other than the banned and royal, the only aj 1 i like are those patent leather miamis.. soulfly x.. one day.. need moar 4's and 12s

 

Love me some Toro Bravo's as well! I feel like I'm the only one who wears them. Never, ever see anybody in them, which is fine by me. Mine are still in decent shape although they have some cracks from all the stress of me not having an arch. Damn flat feet!

 

^ They go well with so many wardrobe options. Black pants, blue jeans, shorts.

AJ4 Lightning colorway on the other hand is so restrictive. Compatible with a bright green mankini perhaps. An option if I ever moved to Florida.   

 

Very nice IVs. Reminds me of these, which were also fire:

 

so mad i wasn't able to get those 21's i had the original colorway, but wanted these so bad! Every time i found them they were not in my size.

 

Yes, me too! Especially since the other colorways sat on shelves. I was able to get the black/grey, white/red/black and grey suede/caroline blue colorways on clearance for cheap, but I was never able to find the red suede. I still want them!!!

 

think its time to bust out the 2016 space jams for some corporate putt putt with my team tomorrow
