OFFICIAL NIKE AIR COMMAND FORCE PUMP & 180 PUMP RETRO THREAD (**NEW ACTUAL PIC ON PG 1)

[luigyvintage03]

People will not accept reality that he has moved on and took a step forward in his life.. Nike isn't EVERYTHING, there is life outside the brand.. On to the command forces, @Trydan, I'm sure these will sit here in Miami. I can help you acquire a second pair. I got you.

You're right....let' s leave the Kanye talk out of this thread. I'm done.

 

[mart da god]

I know it's not a big deal cuz it's plenty of brands other then Nike that he can wear

I just don't want yall to be confused when yall see him in a pair of Jordan's or COMMAND FORCES wondering if he quit Adidas cuz he got on a different brand of shoes

 

[SlamShut]

Just some hi-rez pics of some of the pics that have already been posted... 

Hmmmm... this is odd.  There isn't an actual button on the release valve.  They had one on the OG's... Hmmmmm.

Isn't that a black button on the back?

 

[luigyvintage03]

Let's make these a success so a possible retro of the Air Force 180 pumps can be in works. (I can only dream) lol

There's supposed to be an actual button there, but in those pics, it only looks like a hole.  From what I remember anyway.

I'll dig around for some OG pics. 

EDIT ~ 

Ok, this is from an OG Ultramarine, but you get the idea.

with these coming out I think it could happen in the next couple of years, especially if these do well

 

[mart da god]

just had a crazy thought, if these do well, what if they do the pumps like they did foamposites :x lol

I see. Perhaps from being pushed so many times on the OG the little black button is exposed more? The material around the button on the non retro looks like it doesn't protrude as much as the retro causing the black release button to seen easier. Just a thought.

Being signed to Adidas doesn't mean he can't wear Nikes, just means any affiliation with him will be Adidas shoes.

bro if you work for coke you cant drink pepsi so if you are SIGNED with adidas im guessing thats all you can wear, why else would they pay you to be on their team?

He signed a deal that he will have shoes affiliated with his name exclusively for adidas, he didn't sign a deal like basketball players do. If you think about what you're writing you're actually saying he can't wear no other brand shoe which he is doing currently, he wore kangaroos not too long ago and other branded shoes.

 

[The7onius]

Not going to go back and forth about contracts and coke but Lebron wears other brand of shoes outside of the court, Kanye has worn other brands while signed to Nike. No person would sign a contract to exclusively wear adidas especially not an avid sneaker collector like Kanye, to put this argument to rest look at Kanyes feet from recent pics and my argument is done.

 

[mart da god]

The7onius that's all I was saying but dudes get to tweaking over kanye, I get tired of trying to explain common sense

A little common sense was all that was needed, to imagine Kanye wearing just adidas is obscured even basketball players wear different brands from the brand they're contracted to wear on the court.

common sense? first off i dont follow others so hard that i know wehat they eat every day because my life and my familys is all that matters to me so why would i know what others are wearing outside of their basketball uniform? second off i dont know (nor does anyone else) what adidas and kanyes contract terms are and it might stipulate that he can only wear their shoes and that isnt far fetched and millionare business is not common sense, its by far uncommon especially for us non famous people. Yall trippin like these things cant and dont happen within contracts, seems like you need to use common sense and realize that with a contract anything is possible

 

[crystalmethod]

Yall really needa take that kanye talk that way>>>>>

I keep seeing new posts and hoping its more info... But nope... Just more kanye talk..

Lebron wears high designer brands (Balenciaga, Del Toro, Lanvin, etc..) outside of Nike, but you will never catch him in a competitors brand (Reebok, Adidas, Under Armour, etc..) I'm guessing you guys are trying to imply "common sense" but are serious not applying yourself to it.. Same goes for Mr. West. After his first signature shoe, he wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of adidas, reebok, ewings, or any other urban brand that competes with Nike.. Yes he wears brands outside of Nike that are not competitors of the brand like, again, balenciaga, Saint Laurent, pretty much high end brands that are not in the same bracket with Nike. Come on people.

Competitors brands? You are aware all brands compete with each other? Lol @ you thinking because a shoe or sneaker is Armani or Vuitton it makes it different from wearing adidas or reebok, that's hilarious and proves my point of how stupid this argument is. Watch and see if Kanye gets rid of all his sneakers to just wear adidas lol done.

 

[luigyvintage03]

Companies compete, but does Balenciaga sneakers compete with Nike? That's my point.. Kanye and Lebron have worn brands outside of Nike, they are not in the same bracket.

 

[the 718 truth]

In other words high fashion=/=sportswear. Two different markets. Either way Kanye or not I still got my 180's for $56 and my AF89's for $30 so it's safe for some of y'all to stop blaming Kanye for everything.

 

[The7onius]

I think the whole argument was Kanye wearing these and making them hyped, people need to relax.

Sneakers are sneakers, if Nike or Adidas were stupid enough to try and tell their signed celebs what they could and couldn't wear away from the court or their respected playing area I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care if the sneakers were by fashion designers or not.

yes but then they would have to have their own dress shoes/ high end designer looking shoes and in that case the other non sports brand shoes would be acceptable, anyways... i think im going to pass on these and look for the emeralds but as always these things have a way of ending up in my possesion upon inspection with my hands and own eyes

Couldn't have send it any clearer. Lmao!! Sheesh!

This discussion is done now right? Unless this is considered high end fashion. Like I said, Kanyes contract is only to have shoes affiliated with his name and for him to have input in it.. Not that he wears only adidas.

Nike OWNS Converse bro. Lol! Bro just keep it moving man.
