Air Force Ones

Anybody else notice that all the new shoes poppin up in hip-hop 2day are all based around AF1's? Think about it, Bapes and Greedy Genious's.

yeah i notice that awhile ago. I gues designers think if they slap name on a air force 1 based shoe its going to sell just as well.

bape was a japanese version that got popular here in the states.
dont forget all the cheap knockoff versions
Makaveli sneaks
Starbury makes a AF1 rip
Shaqs (Payless ish)
probably a lot more.

yea errybody knows but like value goes by cost tday it seems, so bapes usually expensive although knockoffs, get respect.  n the ripoffs get hate.

yep hate to say it but the industry got a mean stranglehold on us that we cant break

Word I stick with the AF1's though because they classics I don't mess with any of those other pairs.

I never got into the whole Bape craze because they weren't sellin quality. THey were sellin a trend. That Nigo guy is a very smart business man. He simply created Demand for somethin that didn't have a demand before by limiting the supply of his clothin and jackin up the price to make people think his sh!t was rare while usin Celebrities to promote it to create an a cult following. The sweaters are actually cheap in quality ( 100% cotton) and the shoes, altho very stylish and somewhat unique, most definetly not worth it's retail price considering what materials were used to make it.

Word to Frizzle for Shizzle drop some knowledge on them B!

they got that kind with the star at the flea, i saw them and was like, wtf is this?

I wasn't tryin to spend no $170 for them Bapestas when I can have a "fresh purr of urrs" for $100 and they are the original design ya smell me.

so if i comp some bapes from the flea for 20 each, will that make me cool? lol jp stormy_seas2007-08-13 12:08:29

I would go with the discounted gear thats just me though!

I rock many air force 1's caught my friend with those greedy genius on and he tried to lie and say they were new air forces or something LOL

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

forreal thought he bapes are pretty nice even though they are copies of the airforce 1's 

bapes alright, but i agree with jkid, imma spend that money on some forces over bapes anyday. ain't nothin like some forces. i love nikes in general, pretty much all i f**ks with, and air jordans. just copped me some air max 95's. ooohwee!

Lol I wouldn't waste $600 on a pair of greedy geniuses ? Those are crackhead prices for sneakers man . I'm better off puttin $250 to use to buy me some different style Prada boots or something.
