I run a 5k for warm up 2-3 days out the week. On cardio days I may get up to a 10k. I refuse to buy Hoka, DC, NB’s. Hoka’s are ugly as shyt and I refuse to be caught dead in them joints. What do I look like in some pastel play running nurse shoes. nikka fukk around and pass out one day and then you pass with some clunky pastel joints on ya feet. Couldn’t be me. I have a pair of brooks and a pair of Adidas for cardio.

I'm glad it's over. They burnt Jordan brand out. Same Breds every other year. There's no prestige to any of the classics anymore. They jerked the 11s, 3s and 4s, 13s and lastly the 1s. It's over.


These Gammas will be my last purchase. I'm in OG sneakerhead. Had the Pearl Foamposite in the 90s when they first dropped. That's when you had to be a hustler or from a rich family to have Foams and Jays.

Nike pushed themselves into this place.

With the raffle, deliberate constraint of stock, uninspiring designs, etc they got stale.

I haven’t bought a pair of Nike since COVID, my youngers in my family the same. Trends do change and NB are all the way up right now. But for the me as an older head I see better design in other brands and in shoes.

I knew if I shytted on Brooks and Hoka I would get a reaction 😭😭😭😭😭 I was just dropping some bait so I can get my rocks off

Avg person in Hoka or Brooks is a sloppy built muffuka with poor posture who need them shoes on some health shyt not because they getting active and you know this

30 miles a week? Not the wobbly muffukas I see wearing those shoes 😭

I'm currently running in the Vomero 18 which is part of Nike's line up to compete with Brooks/Hoka and whoever else

ALSO an ugly shoe that I wear for the functionality.....I would never wear this shyt if I wasn't working out in them.....but at least they Nike's 😭

Seems like half the thread is talking about shoes from a Fashion vs Functionality POV

I stand by what I said Brooks/Hoka are flabby....why do you need a special pair of shoes to walk around and do nothing? Because you're flabby 😭 (not you personally)





Cmon Breh you know no sloppy person is running in the Hoka Rocket X or Brooks Hyperion Max LOL

But, salute to you for cranking out those miles. Keep it up to finish off the year. Vomero 18 is super comfy. I have the Vomero Plus (which you should get) and the Premium that is a bit too tall but fun to walk around in if you like chunky shoes.

Which model you run in?

RN I got the gel nimbus 26 with special inserts (haven't ran since august since I'm injured RN)

but this my third pair of ASICs running shoes; the quality is serious.


Street running.


I'm tall and aging a little and been hard on my body all my life.


I originally went to a running shoe store cause I felt like the NIKES were getting beat down quick and giving me knee pain.



They hooked me up with ASICs after some evaluations. Its been the solution.
