Place for rare kicks/shoes??

[Dutchmalmiss]

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: http://www.rareairshoes.com/images/LA_Gear_Lights_Leap_Gear_Turbo_White_Black_Purple_ 003.jpg

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]

I highly doubt you will find that around nowadays.

Try www.vintagekicks.com

[BOROSUN]

wow...that's rare?

[Farzam]

My garage maaaaaaaan.

[Ricks15]

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]

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

[TiNMAN]

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]

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

[soreballz]

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

[A Spec Products]

You wont find LA Gears anywhere except Ebay

No sneaker boutique would have them

No appeal

[s13silvia123]

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

[A Spec Products]

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]

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]

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

fuck they were fresh.

I was a baller Age: 11

[kdashy]

Do they even make LA Gear anymore?

[ALTRNTV]

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

[kdashy]

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

[ALTRNTV]

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

[LookOut Nick]

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]

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


so fucking annoying

[BustedS13]

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.

there's the closest you'll probably find

[!Zar!]

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]

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

[FaLKoN240]

I rocked those when I was in elementry school. SHIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT

[articdragon192]

I want some pumps now!

[KidSaru]

www.pickyourshoes.com

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

[sean350z]

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

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

[ManoNegra]

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]

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]

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 =[

[ALTRNTV]

Airwalks were pretty cool. Hahahahaha I had a couple pairs when I wanted to be cool and fit into the skater crowd.

:keke:

[Dutchmalmiss]

yeah i admit having some airwalks too haha! Nah, i was mostly a jordan guy growin up.

[BustedS13]

i still have a pair of airwalks around here somewhere. i had a fat boner for superstars growing up... and doc martens >.<

and hype aside, the Dunk is easily one of the best shoes nike has ever made. comfortable and simple.

[ManoNegra]

Word, the Airwalks of the early 90s were so fresh and nice for skating. Sucks they could have ruled the skate shoe market, instead they're a Ross brand now.

[mrs.drift33]

the only store i know that still sells LA gears is shoe city!! i think there only for lil kids tho..

[Hoobuttacrew]

Pickyourshoes.com is the ultimate online sneaker spot. they have every color reebok pump made as well as adidas,nike,vans, and some other stuff.

Also HotRod on westwood and olympic has a ton of rare nikes and vans.

I just got my hands on these, I used to have them in 6th grade.
