[Showtime]

He hasnt played one pro game yet, but he's supposed to me the next Magic/ MJ.

-jel:halo:

[look_ma]

I pay $40 dollars for my shoes. And can you imagine getting that much money at 18? Think of the car you could get, two words - stupid fast.

[IntegraTypeR]

i pay nearly $100 for shoes but they aren't nikes. :)

it costs pennies to make nikes and now you know where all the $99.xx goes towards -- endorsements.

i dont like that guy, and it bothers me that they compare him to MJ or Magic. :nono:
he's another kobe. he thinks he's the sh|t.

one thing i DID like was that when some guy asked him what he was gonna do with his first million, he said he'd buy a house for his mom.

I paid about $70 for globe shoes. they are sooooooooo comfy.

Well, the kid is pretty amazing. Danny Ainge was on the radio a couple of months ago and said he was the best high school player he's ever seen...better than Kobe, T-Mac or anyone at that level.

But Kobe and T-mac NEVER had the kind of expectations or $$$ thrown at him that Lebron has.

Basketball shoes: around $60. Bought them at the outlet.
School shoes: around $40 to $60.

[attgig]

and don't forget the 2 cents going to the person who made the shoes :rolleyes:

[Booyamos]

I usually pay whatever, cause I always have a tough time finding shoes... damned size 16's! I don't like basketball shoes (too big) so I usually order my stuff online. Nike Custom ID ones I have were ~$90, Sketchers dress shoes were $50ish.

[Burzhui]

for now upwards of 250, but if i really like em then i dunno

:stupid: We are both in the same neighborhood show wise. My Allen Edmunds were $300, my Aquatalias were $280, and I need to get some more shoes.

That said, those are my dress/work shoes. I have some Kenneth Coles that were about $130 or so that I wear for casual use and some nice Skeetchers that I wear in inclement weather such as snow, rain, or parties.

As for my regular footwear...I normally wear Birks (so $90+) or Chucks ($30) for everyday activity. I have tennis shoes and basketball shoes (both Nike) but they are over 5 years old each.

I remember paying $180 for original Air Jordans when they first came out. They were good shoes.. then again the Bo Jackson cross trainers sucked, I went through a pair in a day. (The store took them back and I got something different)

[le_stick]

For regular shoes should not be more than $30, and for dress shoes
should not be more than $100....

Coleman work boots 8 years ago - $35
new ballance CT shoes 5 years agi - $56

Rockport shoes to wear with Dockers - 3 years ago - $90

[coleslaw]

Doc Marten boots - $150
Doc Marten sandals - $100
New Balance running shoes - $85
Kenneth Cole black dress boots (with double buckles) - $65
Rockport dress shoes - $120

But I've never spent more than $100 on sneakers. Don't really plan on it either.

[Nija]

Airwalks - $40
Etnies - $50
Doc Martens 10 Steel Toe - $45 (heh I love Ross)
Flip Flops - $8 (walgreens)

I splurge

I watched Suicide Kings (http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1800024938&intl=us) last night, and a big part of the movie was that Christopher Walken's henchman paid $1500 for eelskin boots, and the henchman's partner kept makin fun of him for it. Good movie. Expensive shoes :eek:

[whitak24]

i paid around $70 for the last pair of NB running shoes i bought (overpriced....they aren't all that comfortable).

right now, i usually pay $30-$50 for dress shoes at Marshall's (but they're shoes that would cost around $100 normally).

if i have more $$ someday, i would say that $150-$300 is a reasonable range for dress shoes.

[Jabberwocky]

Boycott NIKE!!!

I usually pay 50-60 average, the highest i ever paid for a pair was like 120 and lowest was 20.
