hows the scent of these new chucks bro? lol!

They aren't new. Had these for over a year. No need to sniff.

I got a mild collection of Jordan's I'll have to get up here. With that said, the only thing that smells better than new Kick Smell is new Car Smell...and they are close! Hahaha!

Quick question.....why are they called "chucks"? I remember Keds and Converse.

And now I have been enlightened. I had no clue EVER that they were referred to as such.

I was under the impression it was something new. Had no clue it was over 70 years old at least. But even when I wore them many moons ago I had no clue.

I've never understood the fascination with Jordans, or for that matter most basketball sneakers. The Kobe's are nice though.

By far the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn are the Nike Flyknits. Am I sneaker head? Well, in the last 6 weeks alone I've bought;

Nike Air Max One 3.26


Nike SP Orbit Freerun

Nike Flyknit Lunar 1+ Gym Red


Adidas Hamburg 'Malmo'

New Balance 'Seaside'

The Jordan brand has this halo, especially amongst the youth. I like the designs, but I am put off by the prices.

That Orbit Free Run looks awesome, @jk-27. I'm not a runner, but that Free sole isn't too bad on my non running sneakers!

Jk-27 you have to try a pair of flyknit racers. There the lightest nike shoe!!! I use to run all my marathons in those shoes. There like track shoes used for running. Just the perfect amount of cushion. Not too much.
