Decline in dope shoes

#1
I wanted to discuss a serious issue that has come up in my life in the last 3-4 years. I'm in dying need of a new pair of shoes but everytime I go to footlocker, champs or other shoe stores, I never see anything I like. Am I the only person with this problem or do you guys see the same trend? I'm not really into the new style of shoes that are going back towards the 80's style because I thought those were ugly to begin with. Shit just doesn't make sense to me. What do you guys think?

Dude, I feel you so bad. All the new basketball shoes are booty, and even some classic shoes are gay too. Only a certain type of Kswiss and one addidas shoe look good, really.

You just have to work with what you got. The retro look is tight as long as you know what to do with it. But as far as new shoes, the And 1's are still dope, reebok got some nice kicks, the classics are nice, Diadora got nice shoes out, Adidas is always a resource, even some Team jordans have that classy look, plus you can always find a dope pair of shoes with any retro J, just match it right.

I try to but even the brands I like suck as Lugz, K-Swiss and Dada aren't making any decent shoes. I guess I won't be buying any shoes no time soon.

You guys are way too picky. there are so many good shoes out there.
Yeah...and if you don't find anything get some ADANs
I have them, they rock and they are not expensive...but your main reason to get them is because I have them :D

i admit its hard im not feeling all the shoes they got adidas is great but the colors are repetitive and its 2 yrs i been searcing for this one pair i've seen it on 3 ppl and i swear its like a ghostship im the only one who sees it and there are no resources to find out where they sell em and they are like the perfect shoes for me and i still cant find em...regardless the market sucks i'm fed up of cortez shoes,g-units and yes puma is nice (some anyways) i see them everywhere they take half the shelves and shit...the other half is air force ones but cmon there is so many pairs i can get..
