NSJ: Turns out air bag popped cos i wore the sole to the air bag, no replacement from Nike.
SJ: nabbed a pair of dead stock Kobe 11 Achilles Heel off gumtree for bit over a hunge. Legit checked. stoked.
That is some heavy usage!
How long did you play in those?
Barely 9 months, but always on outdoor courts. Suffice to say modern ball shoes are really only meant for indoor surfaces
At least you didn’t leak REACT juice everywhere!
I really wanted the Nike air 270 triple blacks but man some shoes are near impossible to get now, I also wanted the Sony PS’s but that was a joke no one in Aus including mike stores knew who would receive them.
I am going to buy a pair of triple black TN’s for work (love having a job where this is appropriate).
Any leads on where to look? I had a google around but lots of US shipping costs etc. I’m a rookie online shoe purchaser unless it’s trail runners off wiggle.
If you were a 13, you could buy these.

Or these are available in a full size run.

Otherwise, sometimes you’ve just got to deal with postage from the US.
SJ: In a job now where sneakers are appropriate.
Started looking for a pair of murdered out Hurraches.
That’s them.
Platypus had them on sale for $99 but they’re rare like hens teeth.
This weekend I’m just gonna hit up a few outlets for black on black sneakers.
i have huaraches for work. comfiest shoe, and easy to slip on/off (perfect when you’re in/out of people’s houses).
noticed that sizing runs small (but i have the oldskool ones - not the ultra’s):
also have some lunarglide 6’s. my kid nephews groan when they see how messed up my shoes get:
yard shoes:
look nice but i never wear them:
got these for my birthday this year:
none of these are prolly sneakerhead material, but i used to blow my pay on shoes on the regular bitd.
Nike Air Max 90 Essential Black | END. ?
actually, can anyone advise on whether these would be as supportive for knees as the pair of asics gel kayano 23’s i’m currently using at the cafe?
Yes, they do…
Air Max 1 or the Air Max 90…perfect to wear all day.
good to know. thanks mate.
sizing runs true to something like a nike free? my frees are a 10, asics are 10.5’s…
90’s are pretty heavy tho. Whatever fits best tbh. Maybe test fit at a Nike outlet if you have one nearby, then buy online if pricing is better? My feet aren’t a fan of 90’s
My 90’s are a size larger than my vomeros and lunarglides. Haven’t had frees…
yeah, definitely a bit wary of buying online, and i hadn’t considered the weight aspect. both worthy considerations.
cheers
From memory, dont Kayanos have quite a high arch?
If your comfortable in them, the AM90s, Max 1s, Frees etc, maybe a little too neutral and may not have enough support if your on your feet all day.
Kayano are for pronating and if you have bad knees Rolly I’d stick with Asics not many Nike’s have a good amount of support.
I wear frees as a town shoe but run and Gym in Asics.
