Mayweather: "Pacquiao Will Sign Any Endorsement Deal, He Got $75,000 From Nike"

School em toopretty. These boys don't know **** about the shoegame.

 

Street price my man. Street price.
Foamposites is $400 at sample size of US 9. Pac's trainer goes up to $600 at sample size US 9.

While you enjoy your sneaker head status - do know I get all my NIKE and Reebok and Adidas kicks for free and 6 months ahead of retail. I also visit production lines in China, Vietnam, etc. I also have copies of "1 off" for specific botiques (like Meat Market here in NYC) for free. I personally know designers and project directors from all 3 companies. Collecting is easy - as I don't even bother with it. When you have it this easy, you lose interest rather quickly.

So yeah... keep up the good fight.

 

If true that "Trumps" being a sneaker head....

 

LMFAO, who the **** begs for endorsement deals? Just face it, Floyd. You're a great fighter, just not an endorsement-type athlete.

 

:rofl I got a pair of foamposites for 180.00 plus tax...... What the **** are you talking about street price.. shoes aint crack numbnuts.. Oh yeah,, you get your kicks for free.. you know this and that person.. you internet mother****er . Then I am Barack Obamas cousin and I fly on air force one with air force ones... on. The shoe game aint underground ******... The **** would I pay $400 for some $200 kicks. There is no 100 shoe limited edition. I got the all blacks on right ****ing now clown.. ESB is truly the funniest place on the internet. I had the same Hardaway's back in 97 in high school back when they first came out. Just like I had the Jordans #6s Reebock pumps. Hurraiches, Uptempos(garnett 3s), Uptempos(pippens). So I dont give a **** what your little ******* sweatshop bootleg tennis shoes come from... LOL

 

Local brands? What do you mean by "local" brands?

 

This mother****er must not know this is America. There is a DTLR right down the street that I can buy almost any god damn shoe worth my time.

 

Its true. I have friends (since high school and college) in all three companies. We all started as sneaker heads. I followed a different path after college. 1 offs and signed (by both the celebrity and design team) was cool for a hot sec then we kind all grew up. Travel is now the name of the game.

 

Keep dropping those shoe names. No one cares. I feel bad for you.

Of course you paid $180 retail. Cos your type of dude to stand in line for hours to get your kick fix.
Good luck with that.

 

I agree with you here too pretty as i had the same shoes u just mention when i was in 8th grade all the way through high school... plus the all black Dion Sanders, CB34, and so on.... but that was when i was 14 to 18 yrs old... I cant believe I wore those shoes now that i look back at them, even the ones in ur avatar are ugly as hell.... They were fine when i was a teenager, but to wear them now at 28 atsch... I have a pair of Kobe's to ball in, but thats the only time I wear them...

I think the reebok classics and addidas or even some decent AF1's are ok as long as they are not loud colors... just ur standard white, with blue a black or grey pair seems more suitable...

 

:rofl Wow this has to be the worst come back of all time. A real sneaker head loves actually being in the shoe store. The smell of a fresh pair is a high...lol. Who the **** waits in the line for hours. Yo, I swear man...

 

It was actually disgusting the way he was talking about gambling. Im not just saying this because its Mayweather. Just because he has all that money and feels like its 'great' to gamble it..and him glorifying it... Its ridiculous. Imagine what that 43,000 you blew could do to those in need? Im sure in the very City he lives in, there is for eg a parent with a sick child in need of money for an operation. You get my point.

Not to mention other awful problems gambling can lead to, affecting not only yourself but your family and others.

 

Irish-Americans are called Irish or Irish-Americans. Who are you to tell Blacks what they can and can't call themselves? Do we have any rights to distinguish our own race? We are not just Americans, we are African-Americans. What are French-Canadians? It's not insulting to them or their ancestors to be called that and they have been over here just as long as us. Mexicans were in America before blacks and whites. How is it insulting?

It doesn't matter how you see anything, due to the fact that you can't tell us who we are or what we should call ourselves. Never moving from moving from the 1770's and acknowledging your background are completely different things. African-Americans are of African descent therefore we are called African-Americans. It doesn't matter what generation you are your make up is your make up. Why would you want us to lose apart of who we are? No one is called JUST American. Sorry to tell you there is no such thing as JUST American in this country, I think the U.S. Census Bureau tells us that.

 

Certain kicks have a deeper place in my heart. When copped the pennies they were the ****. Around here everyone rocks foamposites for the last however many years since then. They never went out of style. They are like mandatory. The Barkleys are classic and I had those too. The Deions were ugly but you had to have a pair b/c that was mother****ing Deion. I will throw you a cruve ball.. them Ken Griffey's were **** lol and the Bo Jackson Cross Trainers were tight though..lol. I had the reebock classics from the 3/4 workouts to the hard leather joints.

 

Exactly. Do you call George Bush (either one) British American or German American? Most 'white' Americans who have their roots anything before say 1900s are just called Americans. While on the other hand 'black' Americans who have their roots here BEFORE even the country was founded are African-Americans. Why is that?
Honoring your background and being imprisoned by it are 2 different things. Is slavery the ONLY thing that defines black Americans in this country? Hells no!

And let us be honest here. Do you really have that much cultural connection with Africans of now? You have as much cultural, political and economic connection as George W Bush has with Elton John. Hell at least they speak the same language. It is not only insulting to current black Americans. It is also insulting to African-American immigrants. Your genocide has ended while African-Americans still continues (in several different fronts). Do you call Haitians, African-Haitians? Or Dominicans, African-Dominicans? Neither group are founded by African slaves. The difference is they have taken ownership of their country, thus their identity.

The only thing that really binds you with the current Africa is skin color. And that is itself is ironically racist.
