Converse are gay.  
I will spend any amount on work boots because you get what you pay for.  
already have plenty of boots, need a shoe.

If you are just looking for basic shoes check out like Macy’s or the equivalant. I usually get Nike, Reebok, or Adidas and they are like 40 bucks. I bought two pairs two summers ago and i still have one pair in the box.

I wear boots 90% of the year between work and riding.

Not worth back then and certainly not worth now.

40% discount back in the day. Not the most comfortable shoe, The jordan name made it sell. I have boots 100x more comfortable. Also had some value city shoes better, All in the name :rolleyes:

I hate to ask this dumb question. but are they knock offs. they both are made overseas.

besides release dates. gonna know if something is fishy before a date nike authorized says you sell.
