So coming into the spring season, I've decided that my beat ass brown pair of knock of skater shoes have to go.

I'm looking to purchase a new pair of kicks. I've been looking around various internet hotspots, and I'm having trouble deciding.

So I turn to you, geartalk, to help guide me on this shoe purchasing adventure.

I need something thats pretty universal.. I don't have the cash flow to purchase multiple pairs for outfits right now. I wear mostly bright and bold, reds and blues.

Oh, and I don't wanna spend more than 120.
+K for helpin a bredhhi out.

Nike dunks/ high tops. they have lots of diff colors and stuff... there around 80-90 a pair, but real nice.

If your willing to spend 100, check out Air Max 90s , I have 2 pairs of these and they are real comfy. I never got into DC or skate shoes, idk y... I  really only own Nike/Jordans..

Look at pickyourshoes.com , they dont have every pair of Nikes and such on their website, but they give you an idea of what you like and dislike, then u can just find the brand online or in-store.

I bought a pair of nike free's and had them for like 2 weeks, paid like $90, I wore them playing tennis, rolled my ankle, and they literally ripped in half. I wish I had pictures of it, because they seriouslly ripped it in half. The sides of the shoe tore away from the sole. DONT BUY. no ankle support as well.

If you want dunks dont get 6.0's. 6.0's are whack. Get SB's. Tons better.

well... that sucks haha

the idea is to let your foot move naturally, if your feet are strong enough you don't need ankle support.

best answer so far

but for real i love nike dunks... like the OG dunks, not SB. if you want a skate shoe, then get SBs, but if its just for street wear dont get skate shoes. also someone said airmax 90s, these are so sick. i have  pair of air max wrights and its almost the same thing and i love em.

so you cant go wrong with dunks or max's

your unthoughtful and reflexive response does nothing to displace the fact that you do actually care about shoes, thus you are actually gay, which does actually make the statement previously described as reflexive and simple in a way that only down syndrome is, completely contradictory to everything you believe in.

according to urban dictionary:
Ignant:
1. The ignorant way of saying ignorant
"Your ignant"
"You're uneducated."

2. proudly, willfully ignorant. Holding up one's ignorance as a virtue, and using it as rhetorical and moral leverage. cf. Ignorance.
"To the C students, I say, 'You too can be president of the United States.'" - George W. Bush

3.Slang for "ignorant".
Joe is an ignant fool!

4. ebonics for 'ignorant.'
A: Waas up niga?
B: Waat ya fuckin be callin me?
A: Whateva bro you just ignant you ignant.

The best one:
A word used to replace the word ignorant. This word is usually used by ignorant people in the first place. You are not cool if you use this word.
Yo, that's strait up ignant, dawg!
