Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 (edited) I'm starting this new thread for the people who are fond of collecting on-court kicks. I'll also post pics of sweet kicks & my shoe collection. This will also be a forum where dates of sale of shoe outlets would be found & how to take care of shoes & many more. People can also post shoe reviews here. Edited August 1, 2004 by Dr.Love 1 Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 I'll be posting first the pics of my Nike Air Jordans plus a short description about them. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is the re-issue of the Air Jordan 1. This is made of patent leather. This shoe is good only for playing occasional hoops since it doesn't provide a locked-down fit like all old school shoes & the cushioning is a bit hard unlike Zoom Air based shoes.

Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is a nice picture of the Air Jordan 1. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is my Air Jordan 7. I've been always using this shoe for playing hoops due to its light weight but its unpadded ankle offers little support so ankle inversion is a problem in this shoe. The upper is made of synthetic suede & durability of this material is questionable. My pair already shows cracking of the upper. This shoe is a re-issue. MJ wore this shoe during the 1991-1992 season. The bulls got their 2nd championship when they defeated the Portland TrailBlazers. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is my Air Jordan 11. Another re-issue by Nike. I had a pair way back in 1996 but that shoe got destroyed when the midsole turned to powder w/c is a usual problem in shoes w/ midsoles made of EVA, phylon, & polyurethane. To increase the life of this pair, I'm already applying ArmorAll on the midsole to prevent the sole from cracking up again. MJ used this shoe in the 1995-1996 season. The Bulls got their 4th championship that year & they had an NBA best 72-10 record. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 That's all for now. I'll be posting pics of the upcoming VC4's next. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Here are pics of the upcoming VC4. It doesn't have any full length Shox cushioning unlike its predecessors. Forefoot cushioning is replaced by Zoom Air. Quote Link to comment
kaloy511 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 nice thread dr.love! with historical background to boot! Â do you have any chance reviews on the and1 brand? :cool: Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 nice thread dr.love! with historical background to boot! Â do you have any chance reviews on the and1 brand? :cool: The And1's I have are 2 post game shoes & the KG2. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is my very first And1 shoe. I bought this when I was a medical clerk. This is a very nice shoe & the details are very nice. This shoe is designed as a shoe to be worn before & after games so that you can prolong the life of your game shoe. And1 is the very 1st shoe manufacturer to make a postgame shoe. My problem w/ this colorway is it doesn't match w/ a lot of outfits since it's white/orange. I also have to wear an orange shirt w/ this shoe. This shoe's interface between the outsole & midsole is not very durable since the glue that they've used is not very nice. I have re-glued them already many times w/ super glue & the adhesive still doesn't stick very long. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 The name of the above shoe is And1 OnTheD Low & I had it since 2001. I bought it in Olympic Village. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is my other postgame shoe. Its an And1 Tochillin. This is their best selling model. This shoe was released in a lot of colorways. World Balance ripped off this shoe. This is more durable than my OnTheD postgame shoe. This shoe is still available in And1 clearance stores but the sizes that are remaining are the large ones. Kevin Garnett used to wear this a lot when he still an And1 endorser. I also bought this shoe in Olympic Village in 2002. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 This is Kevin Garnett's 2nd And1 signature shoe named KG2. I got this also in Olympic Village in 2003. This shoe originally retailed for 6,995 pesos & it hardly moved in the outlets due to its steep price. When KG didn't renew his And1 contract & went to Adidas, this shoe suddenly had a 70% discount & it went flying off the shelves of retailers. I got my pair for only 2,700 w/c is a good price for a luxury performance shoe. This shoe performs great. The cushioning & court feel are top notch & it seems well built. The fit is excellent since my heel was locked in place & there is no front-to-back & side-to-side movement. The TPU support on the arch also makes ankle inversion a rare occurence.

robbietan Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 hold on to your air jordan 2 shoes. got something from websites that it is the hardest pair toget your hands on. the orig plan was lost somewhere in italy (daw)and the succeeding pairs are nothing like the orig AJ2 pairs Quote Link to comment
choQo Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 i used to wear Nike b-ball kicks but since naglabasan na ang mga fakes i switched to And1. ryt now i'm using two b-ball shoes alternately (para di madali masira mahal kasi eh)...the And1 Spree Mid and the And1 Chosen One (worn by Rafer Alston & ben Wallace), both shoes have superb cushioning and has excellent traction, highly recommend for those who are playing guard.

The AJ2 Retros out now are almost similar to the originals. This is the colorway I want. Quote Link to comment

Bad trip yung mga fakes. Madami niyan sa Greenhill & Cartimar pero obvious naman na fake. I went to Cartimar recently & I saw na lahat ng models ng Jordans ay meron sila. Pati yung AJ 19 may fake na rin. Nagaya din nila yung tech-flex na parang basketweave dun sa shroud. Tapos yung AJ 2, 7 & 8 ay maganda talaga yung pagkagawa. Pati yung midsole ay polyurethane. Tapos may player exclusive din sila ng AJ 8 na replica ng sinuot ni Kobe before he wore the Huarache 2k4's. Kung titingnan mo ay di talaga fake yung itsura. Wala lang airsole siguro mga mga yan & bugbog paa mo pag ipanglaro mo. Pero yung AJ 3, 4, 5, & 6 ay may airsole na visible. Ewan ko lang kung na-work mga yan. Napuntahan mo ba yung clearance stores ng And1 where they sell their b-ball kicks for more than 50% off? Gusto ko sana bilhin yung The Quest (worn by Starbury, Big Ben, Matrix, & D-Mase in the 2003 ASG) kaso ipon muna ako pera bili ng AZG. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) Here is a pic of my Nike Air Force Max. This is a re-issue. I bought this last year in Nike Stadium at 40% discount. It was originally P4,995 but I got it for only P2,995. Charles Barkley wore this in the 1993 season when he became MVP & led the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals. Too bad he faced a guy named Mike whose team won their 3rd straight championship. Mike wore the AJ8's during that season. Edited August 3, 2004 by Dr.Love Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 Eto pinag-iipinan ko ngayon. Hintay ko pang bumaba yung discount nito w/c is currently 20% off. Original price is P6,495. LBJ's Air Zoom Generation. I want the black colorway. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Love Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 The very first mass produced AZG released. Quote Link to comment
