You like sneakers???

Actually since your brought up their "team." I had just realized their team in the past are all washed up or shit happened to them. That's probably why an1 has fallen off their game so badly.

From what I seen around lately, Jordan put a display of Melo's sneakers in commemoration for 10 year anniversary with Jordan Brand.

Probably an indication that the 1.5's could make a return.

Their shoes seem to have tamed down a bit, but I still like the overall style of them. Too bad all my money is going towards new snowboard gear.

You getting new board? If so, which one if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking to upgrade my banana board.

Nah, I still very much like my board, plus it's still in really good shape. When I do upgrade i'll more than likely be sticking with Nitro though. Just browsing their boards the all new styles of camber just confuse the hell out of me. I need to do some research, lol.

I think this was a year too late of the whole "LINsanity" thing

Yeah, I thought so also. I just thought it was very strange since he looked a serious Nike guy even before the Linsanity deal. I guess he's cashing in as much as he can.

My first purchase of the year.

I was curious about opinions on Roshe Runs and Flyknit Chukkas. I'm very interested in the Chukkas cause they look super comfortable but I'm not sure if they're worth the price.

I wear Roshes (low tops) daily, I own about 15 pair and love em...You can definitely find the chukkas cheaper than retail if you search long enough. They're always on sale when I go to the mall (shoe palace, shiekh etc etc). Flyknits, I would go to the Nike outlet and see them all day for like $89-$119.

I have all the OG Roshe colors and I alternate them with the OG Flyknit Trainers along with the Lunar +1 Flyknits. The Roshe are very comfortable shoes for daily use. They are very breathable, so wearing them during hot weather is a plus. As far as the flyknits go, I use both trainers and lunar + to run 3-5 miles without any problems. Breathability is the same with the Roshe and they both weigh the same. I'm not a fan of mid/high tops, so I don't own any chukkas.

[QuikSilveRX-8]

Just like the Lunars, how long would their midsoles last(on a daily use not when used for running)?

[PERRIN_Chris]

I have some lunar trainers from like 2010 that are still comfy. I even took them to Disneyworld one year, and to NYC another year. I think they will only bottom out if you're actually using them what they're made for. Not when used casually.

midsoles are pretty solid, no major creasing after long use, extremely easy to clean with just hot water and a towel. I use Jason Markk on em for tougher things to clean like mud/grease that I tend to pick up around the shop here. I like them better than the lunar soles that tend to get that "scrunched" look after long use

[QuikSilveRX-8]

@Carl Fredricksen, were you referring to the Roshe's "midsoles are pretty solid, no major creasing after long use" or the Lunars? For some reason, I refuse to buy the Roshe Runs because of the Hype it built into it. I just started using my Nike Air Epic with the Lunar soles, feet hurt the first time I used them but eventually got used to the comfort. I'm already looking for a replacement because it seem like it would not last me six months if I kept using them to work daily. I love how the shoes are very breathable.
