what's your fav Asics model to wear TC?

I can't wrap my head around picking between models when I contemplated trying them out. GT-2160, Kayano 14....or 12, or 20. It's not like with Jordan where I can at least correlate the design to a point in his career with the design context.

edit: and I was wearing my KD4 Nerfs yesterday. On some days I think wearing KD4's ain't so bad but yesterday was a day where I was thinking "damn maybe I was just trying to convince myself they're wearable".

He took a picture of some generic as fuck shoes in front of a bunch of random shoe boxes like you would only see at Ross or whatever the fuck.

Why are people acting like this is anything more than an obvious, silly joke?

He didn't have to call people dick heads tho. And if he wants to believe his gimmick so hard so he'll get treated as such.

Whenever I larp I always leave a good hint that I'm joking in good fun. People like TC don't.

Wow, cant believe that was ban worthy

Disagree with that totally. Guy at least posted an opinion about something else that wasnt the same 5 political variations spread out across 400+ topics. Doesnt that get boring after awhile? Having people agree with you all the time? Whats the maximum for right other than right? More right? Lol

Nuts. I didnt mind the guy past the inane gimmick

Doesn't the clever setting make it obvious? It just reads like light, ce version of a dad joke to me. I don't care to read through the topic, but it'd be disappointing if he felt the need to explain himself to people giving him shit.

He had another account he got banned for doing the same thing. Whether it's a gimmick or not, he very obviously plays it up to be annoying on purpose and has said so on numerous occasions that he does it because he knows it pisses people off... then when called out he'll start insulting people. Usually not a good recipe for success.

Even if he ever broke gimmick, he spammed it way too hard to the point where it gets more than annoying.

If you straight up admit your gimmick is solely to make people angry then yeah thats gonna catch a moderation.

If he didnt say that he wouldnt have gotten hit

I think his insults are warranted given the fact how CE reacts to his topics tbh

but, whatever, I guess its done now Ill miss seeing shoes and things I cant afford lol

devolving is kinda curious though, not sure where youre getting that apart from the fact that we have different perspectives on things I guess.. that inherently creates a difference? Nothing wrong with that

I get my idea of hive mind strictly from my experiences of living as a Latino man and seeing it within my own community.. so I dont feel the need to pre-face everything I post with I dont vote republican or dont believe in their ideals in order to levy a criticism against something.

Detached/devolved in your mind, like I said, is something born from your own personal hangup in not knowing there are other people who are simply much different than you. It may be mysterious to you, but it certainly is no mystery to me.

Why are people acting like this is anything more than an obvious, silly joke?

Those shoeboxes behind him are boxes for hyped shoes, Kobes, Nerf KD4s, etc. this guy is clearly a sneakerhead. I dont know shit about Asics and I hate Marvel but decent chance they actually fetch decent money since people are obsessed with Spider-Man and the word Kith automatically adds $100 to the value of any sneaker.

Asics, even before the recent 2010's runner retro bandwagon, already had its own collector niche, so that + those factors you pointed out, it comes with that price tag.

This collaboration had some pretty elaborate packaging and I some extras (like the comic), feeding into the undeniable collector's sphere of sneakers.

And that's where I've come to find that there's a disconnect with some people here at this board. Sure maybe TC and some others are bragging a bit. Me personally when TC brings something up, or one of the users who brought up their watches, I'm more interested in having the hobbyist/enthusiast discussion.

But some people here utterly resent it, unless that is trolling in itself. Naturally that could just be polar opposites existing at this board. We got some people talking about min wage jobs and then others discussing 6-digit matters.
