Nike, Swoosh, Jordan, Jumpman, Air and All That!

^^^^^
put that image up right on time. those are named Air Footscape Woven Motion & are a mash-up of two shoes. real sneaker heads feel free to interject on my reasoning for calling them a mash-up & for the history lesson.
Nike Air Footscape was released in 1995 & was originally a running shoe for dudes with wide feet. (images soon come, just had to get this up or i would say f^ck it)
Nike Woven was released in 2000 as a lifestyle release. It was designed by Mike Aveni & original released in Japan (the shoe has a few patents which to me is insane (http://www.google.de/patents?id=4tHOAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false). the shoe was produced in small numbers because it was handmade. can go on about all the inspirations behind the shoe but i'm much to lazy to continue. might of spoken out of turn when i referenced the shoe has native american inspirations cause i couldn't find anything to support the claim.
images after a while of both shoes to support my claim (since the two names being smashed together is not really enough

Don't know if this is interesting for anyone, but End Clothing (UK) has some Nike pre-order stuff going on:

Damn, Cris, you should just go all in and open your own sneakerhead shop. You have a crazy collection.

Yes, footscape wovens are an aquired taste. I personally like them. Very comfortable out the box….
Also found this old pic of my stash. Damn I wish I still have all these (so I can resell them and grab more IH paraphernalia ;D)

MY favourite Jordans in my favourite colorway, beautiful Lando

i want the tens that drop next month (sorry ya'll, the 11's can suck it) and these…
I must buy like 11 pairs.

I passed on the 3's becos I got them when they came out 3 years ago in the pack ( i may change my mind), just brought these Cool Grey XI's from my mate DS US 11, so I pulled out the SJ and Bred XI's for a group shot. Waiting for the Concordes coming out 23rd Dec.
Yep the XI's r one of my fav's but I cant wait for the White Cement VI's (got a pair sussed out with my local FL), my holy grail even if its a retro.
PeterRock1 - what a crazy pic of your stash all nicely stacked up, what size r u, mind me asking?
Crisone - you r a sneaker freaker fella, I see the Tiffs, Heinekens, Stash Air Max 95's, Stash air Max, Atmos AM 1's, Jordans, Unkles, the dunks, Air max's.
Got anything in a US 11?
Peace

^ Thanks…pretty much all that is gone, pretty much only AM's now and a couple J's.
Lando, how do you like the 3's, I heard the quality is crappier than the last Retro, and they priced them a tad higher too.
And idk about them WC IV's, I gotta see them in the flesh, the grey looks a bit darker.
And in Petee's behalf, he wears a size 9.
A pic just for kicks........

I mean as far as quality is concerned I do not have much to compare it to as the only other pairs I own is the OG as well as the Mocha Retro and I have not seen them (buried in storage) in years. I love the new ones. I bought them to rock so to me it makes no difference. The price of Jordans has steadily increased year after year just like most things. These things are going to take a beating from me in this next year of our lord, 2012. Evo shots will be posted for all those who are interested.

^ Dope…yeah, my 01's are in fair condition still, love the yellowing as well, haha, I wanted to see your take on them cuz I want to get another pair myself.
Mocha's, dope, every pair I find, has crazy yellowing, I'd like a pair that's clean so I can yellow them myself, haha.
Thanks for the info L.

Yeah I mean, if you are going to wear them then buy a pair. I got them when they dropped while in SF so I payed retail. Not sure I would pay more than $225ish now. As for the Mocha's, the midsoles crack like mad and they yellow easily. I highly doubt that even if you did come upon a deadstock pair that they would be free of yellowing. Comes with the territory as I am sure you are aware…
