I loved the JB Trunner line. I would love to see them re-release.
I remember the OGs getting recalled because they had an adjustable metal heel counter that had the potential to slice peoples achilles tendons.
There was also a similar Nike running shoe with the same technology that also got recalled for the same reason.... anyone know what those were called ? I think there was a navy/yellow colorway.

I liked the footaction exclusive trunners...the first ones that had two straps
I think there was an all blue carolina and a Michigan cw along with the black reds.
They retroed some I think but they added an air bubble.

I just didn't like trunners from an aesthetic point of view. They just weren't my cup of tea. I remember the recall. I can't front though, JB has gotten lazy overall. In the early days there seems to have been way more variety in their line other than numbered retros. They even used to make boots and shoes like this...

I remember seeing those on clearance for like $20 back in the day
Nike and JB used to have tons of variety. So many different silhouettes in addition to the retro offerings. Now its all retros or free/lebron/kd/kobe/flyknit in 29827498234923479 colorways

So they took the design from minivan to suv/cuv? I would've jumped ship too
Adidas should've dropped those shoes anyway though.

My top 5
1.Nike Air Black Cement 3s
2. Black/Red Jordan 11s
3.Black/Pink Yeezy 1s
4.Royal Foamposites
5.Nike Air Black Jordan 5s
Just to take another whack at the proverbial dead horse, Nike has bastardized the foamposite line. Jeezus.
I find it disgusting, but I'm conflicted because I do enjoy the black suedes.

Black Cement III's are a good shoe, but I don't like it. I had 3 distinct opportunities to cop in 2001, my last chance being able to cop them for $30. I passed. I like the White/Cement III's better. They're so clean to me.
I don't have a "go to" shoe anymore. It used to be the black/red XI when I had a second pair. I sold them like a dummy.
Regrets in terms of shoes
-not copping both blk/red and white/navy XVI's
-passing on a second pair of '00 SJ
-passing on Laney V's from 2001
-not getting those '00 concords for free, even with them not being my size

Can barely wait for my Lebron 8 V2 All Stars to come in
While I do prefer the jordan 3s by a long shot, i think the lebron 8 v2 is the best lebron shoe ever overall, and also like a jordan 3 for this generation

I disagree. I think the Lebron IV is. It's made with actual foamposite material and was way more comfortable than I expected. I should have copped, now I have to scour for a pair.

Lebron 4 and 8 are tied for the GOAT Lebron shoe.

don't think there's going to be anything "like a jordan 3" for this generation. the design is much more classic and subtle compared to nike's post 90s design language imho.
my shoe regrets would be:
not getting a pair of lebron 2s or 3s
passing on black/silver jordan 6 lows
not getting 2nd pair of cool grey jordan 4s, black/metallic 5s and olive 5s
and destroying my white/navy xvis

stupid queston: what does goat mean?
oh i like the 4s, it's just that lebron 8s can be easily pulled off
basically: i'll explain
the jordan 3 is iconic, high performance, and high fashion
it could be worn by a baller like michael jordan but used for fashion like Kanye west
Brought iconic things like jumpman, elephant print
brought new technology in form of vis air
lebron 8
basically worn by anyone, but high tech for lebron james (duh)
also luxurious (dat leather though)
heck, do i even need to explain sprite, south beach, flamingo, entourage, all star, christmas, etc
welp: much better design of flywire and visible air max (7s had it first though) also brought hyperfuse into the game

Oh yea 4s are nice too.
Theres a black gold cw of the 3s thats waaaay underrated.
Gold eyelets....nice matetials.
They look like a shoe a king would wear if they hooped back in the middle ages.

I don't believe in stupid questions bruh.
That was one of the main reasons I created this thread.
SO that people could discuss and ask questions about
sneakers without trolling, being insulted, or messed with generally.
Sometimes going through the JB forum is like walking in
a mine field with Shaq feet.
