Place for rare kicks/shoes?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Dutchmalmiss · 04-03-2007, 10:25 PM

Anyone know any sites/retailers that sell some rare or hard to find shoes? For me, more specifically, I'm tryin to get my hands on a pair of these:

I tried that site that was inked on the pic, but can't seem to find 'em anywhere. Can anyone help? Unless any of you guys have a pair in size 8.5 or 9, then that'd be fine too haha

ALTRNTV · 04-03-2007, 10:32 PM

I highly doubt you will find that around nowadays.

Try www.vintagekicks.com

BOROSUN · 04-03-2007, 10:42 PM

wow...that's rare?

Farzam · 04-03-2007, 10:49 PM

My garage maaaaaaaan.

Ricks15 · 04-03-2007, 10:57 PM

Egay? maybe. Sporte LA or some shit like that on Melrose across the street from Fairfax high school sells hard to find shoes but I dont know if that have those ones right there.

ALTRNTV · 04-03-2007, 10:59 PM

I searched Ebay, couldn't find anything close to that.

TiNMAN · 04-03-2007, 11:31 PM

ebay.

msg length.

edit: oops. thought id be the first one, but i jumped to repost before i got to the end of the thread. yap yap

s13gold · 04-03-2007, 11:37 PM

damn those are old school...i doubt you'd find those.

soreballz · 04-04-2007, 12:31 AM

I had those in like... 1st grade. lol

A Spec Products · 04-04-2007, 12:50 AM

You wont find LA Gears anywhere except Ebay

No sneaker boutique would have them

No appeal

s13silvia123 · 04-04-2007, 01:06 AM

i use to have those when i was a kid and it was hte black ones.

A Spec Products · 04-04-2007, 01:11 AM

I never had those cause I was too damn fly for those things.

A lot of girls wore those tho.

On a side note, I'm mad cause Nike just rereleased the Agassis but failed them by changing a bunch of stuff and not doing the og neon color.

Dutchmalmiss · 04-04-2007, 01:23 AM

Yeah tried vintagekicks.com

I just want a pair in black haha! It'd be pretty awesome rocking a pair again like I was in like 2nd grade.

LB.Motoring · 04-04-2007, 01:25 AM

Damn I use to rock a set of LA Gears with the lights,

fuck they were fresh.

I was a baller Age: 11

kdashy · 04-04-2007, 01:32 AM

Do they even make LA Gear anymore?

ALTRNTV · 04-04-2007, 01:38 AM

Yes, they do. They're BUTT UGLY though. Hahahahaha

The LA Gear Transits

The LA Gear Bravo

kdashy · 04-04-2007, 01:51 AM

Oh god, I'd rather wear the dope lightup ones.

ALTRNTV · 04-04-2007, 01:54 AM

Even if you were to find those light up ones, expect to pay a premium for them.

LookOut Nick · 04-04-2007, 08:19 AM

La Lights were tight back in the day... but i could never afford them, i remeber a lot of kids had the light-up strap on sandals.

yokotas13 · 04-04-2007, 09:01 AM

they have them in japan that light up and squeak at the same time

so fucking annoying

BustedS13 · 04-04-2007, 10:48 AM

okay, i've been looking for this pair of shoes for years now. i remember them sitting on the shelf at Foot Locker, but i never bought them... they were these Reeboks, all white, and the best way i could describe them would be calling them the shoes Stormtroopers would wear. the sides were plastic, and were just covered with a raised grid of squares. they were FUCKING AWESOME. does anybody know what i'm talking about?

p.s.

http://cgi.ebay.com/L-A-GEAR-LIGHT-G...QQcmdZViewItem

^
there's the closest you'll probably find

!Zar! · 04-04-2007, 11:04 AM

Damn. I remember those shoes, back in like 94`.

But my hustle was too hard to wear, "commoner" shoes.

For a while my local toy store sold those when they were hot.

Kids wore those who couldn't get the pumps.

Dutchmalmiss · 04-04-2007, 12:03 PM

Damn who had the blue/white Penny Hardaways back in like '95???? THOSE WERE SIIIIICK

***FaLKoN240*** · 04-04-2007, 01:25 PM

I rocked those when I was in elementry school. SHIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT

articdragon192 · 04-04-2007, 01:47 PM

I want some pumps now!

KidSaru · 04-04-2007, 01:49 PM

www.pickyourshoes.com

talk to them, they may be able to find them.

sean350z · 04-04-2007, 02:41 PM

I couldn't afford a pair of pumps 15 years ago and I can't afford pumps today $400

All the kids would destroy those things with pencils and pop the air sacks...

*ManoNegra* · 04-04-2007, 02:41 PM

LA Gears and Reeboks... no me gusta!

lol.. seriously these were what your parents would buy you when asked for Nikes or Adidas back in the day.

ALTRNTV · 04-04-2007, 04:02 PM

I used to wear Air Max and Dunks back then, when it was just a "normal" shoe, not like the hype it gets today.

pignose4life · 04-04-2007, 04:49 PM

yea seriously those are the cheap brands, i used to ask for cool skating vans when i was little and all i got was airwalks =[
