The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

[nick.]

Young people don't really have brand loyalty anymore. Whatever's hot is hot, regardless of the logo.

General population isn't waiting on line for $250 retro Jordan's twice a month.

Are these not the same ones you’re calling grandpa shoes?

Seems like the goal in 2012 was to break up the Thunder. Woj has wrote in the past Kobe was telling Westbrook he should have his own team too and be a scoring champ.

Definitely a phase, but how'd those NBs become popular amongst younger people?

Was always a shoe I've only see middle aged white men wear

Nah I don't consider those grandpa shoes at all. Those are staples.

Grey NBs for $200

They were on sale. I tried to grab two.

But, they were out of stock either way.

Good! I’m so glad. I checked out a long time ago, when you had to win raffles to get GR kicks

Everything is cyclical too.

When I was in middle school in California, there were some kids with NBs. They were used for breakdancing in.

But otherwise you would get made fun of for wearing them casually.

I was like 5 miles from the epicenter. I was having 1994 flashbacks

Damn blood I was just about to get baby girl in missionary on her lunch break and the MF’n building wanna shake

Like the 990x line? Late 90s around here.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The NT shoe consumer probably makes up less than 1% of sneaker consumers. If 85% of your market research is just here you're forgetting another 99%.

So what I'm saying is it seems like those that wouldn't have rocked certain types of NB/Asics years ago are now doing it with no shame. Just wondering what caused the change in taste.

Wasn't making a general observation of what people were wearing in the street.

 

[lovehateself]

over here in newport beach too

Celtics Knicks season opener from a couple years ago was crazy. Think it ended with a RJ Barrett buzzer beater

Grey NBs for $200

NB knows their base, I guess.

They even made a colorway of the newest Kawhi’s to track the drab grey look -

Their base is literally kids. The youth-youth. Pre-18.

NB is hot right now with them. It’s crazy.
