    Nori ☺ Deadpool is my deformed bousin☺

    There's already a sneaker collection thread but I thought I'd make this to get some activity going in this new section. Anyways here's a little backstory to my collection, when I was younger my parents really couldn't afford the dope retro Jordans so I was always stuck with the Team Jordans. Fast forward a couple of years to me being 16 and I finally get my first job. Did the typical circle of poverty thing and chose instant gratification over long term gratification. Spent most of my first two years worth of pay on clothes/sneakers. Managed to build a pretty decent collection in the process though, had to sell some when college rolled around because I didn't have enough money for a car, but I still have some of my favorites left. Don't worry though, I'm good now. Got a decent savings account and managed to buy a nice/reliable car. I just turned 21 and I've probably only bought between 5 and 10 pieces of footwear in the last 3 years. Ok, lets go.

    Day 1: Reebok x Burn Rubber "Apollo Young" Questions

    Copped these a couple of years ago I'm pretty sure. It's a collaboration between Reebok and Burn Rubber, a sneaker boutique in Michigan. The shoe model is the Question, Allen Iverson's first shoe with Reebok from back in the day. Haven't rocked them yet but I really appreciate the detailing in the shoe itself. The toe box is burgundy suede with hits of ostrich skin leather and regular leather throughout. The quality is great on both the leather and the suede. Interior is a teal silky material, what really sold me though was the dark blue icy bottom. One of my biggest pet peeves with sneakers is icy bottoms, its a love/hate relationship. It looks so nice, yet as I'm sure many of you know, it turns piss yellow after time. Regardless of whether you wear them or not, luckily these are more dark blue as opposed to the regular clear rubber icy soles. Took these pics today and after 2 years they still look good as new.

    Yeah, I know a lot of people don't f--- with loud shoes but these aren't too bad. Usually I just try to keep it simple with the rest of the fit whenever there's bright colors on the sneakers.

    good intro and lovely description of the shoe as well. the red suede is really what makes the shoe, looks nice from those side views.

    admire you for not really wearing them over two years. don't think I could ever buy shoes just to "have them" lol

    Yeah, its not everyones cup of tea. Believe it or not, this pair is one of the more toned down ones in my collection. Most are either really loud, or a clusterfuck of colors. Here's my "What the Lebron" 11s that I'll show one of these days.

    Nori is like a chameleon. He goes from Stan-Nori, to Papi-Nori, to Gay-Nori, to Sensual-Nori to Sneakerhead-Nori.

    Nori, is there anything he can't do? :ohno:
