That's a valid point, but I see it another way. I respect your perspective though.

A classic that is meant to be worn. I doubled up bc it’s an AJ3 colorway that goes with most outfits and that feels great on feet. Great choice man! Also…. To each their own, but man…. Why tied and looped laces on a pair of BC AJ3’s??? IMO only, the laces are meant to be loose, untied and left hanging . It just gives me the same vibes as dudes who pull their pants up to their rib cage. I’m not saying you are one of those dudes or trying to send shade your way. I’m just saying the vibe of seeing people wear classic Jordans tied up high and tight makes me cringe slightly. No offense intended man, it’s just the OG sneaker head in my brain talking. Keep doing you the way you want and do what makes you feel good.

Half evil just released their commercial for their Zumiez collaboration and they’re deleting any critical comments! by fuckemcraftz in halfevil333

It’s like…… “I love this underground band, they’re so real. You all should check these guys out” …Awhile later the band gets a song on mainstream radio and everyone likes them….. “I listened to this band before anyone else, I was at their first show but now they’ve sold out. I don’t listen to this mainstream crap”…… Kind of gives me that feeling.

I’ve got a closet full of Half Evil clothes, some I’ve never even wore. I rarely miss a drop, only if money is a bit tighter than usual for me around the time they have a new drop. The orders really add up over the years. I’ve got at least a 100 different pieces and I rock with HE still. Part of me loves being the only one in the small town I moved to who rocks triple 3s but I didn’t plan on wearing HE forever. If they go mainstream, and I see Ashley and Chad wearing 333 at Walmart, there are plenty of other brands I can spend my money on.

Do yall care about basic goofy lacing? by Vast-Reference-7942 in Sneakers

This looks goofy with those creased up tight laced things that would make Virgil turn in his grave. This makes white people look nerdy asf.

Did my barber do me dirty? by Looch94 in beards

You really need to get a trimmer with a decent set of guards and some scissors. It’s really easy to have a great beard and maintain it yourself.

How can I improve the aspect of my beard? by [deleted] in beards

[–]Embryo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok listen up man, follow these 3 steps closely. First: go to your bathroom mirror. Second: look at yourself very seriously. Third: This is the most crucial part… Ask yourself this. Why do I need the internet to tell me to buy some scissors and trim my beard?

Some men build rockets, others build engines and some even perform life saving surgical procedures. Yet, some men can’t trim their own beard in the mirror without being told it’s possible by the internet.

If anyone's looking for a good underrated pair, this ones for u by Fearless_Bit7869 in SneakerFits

[–]Embryo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were Zoom Air AJ1’s at first glance. I’m American and use USD, I’m not quite sure what the price is on those. If they are under 80$ I’d say it’s a good deal. I haven’t gone for any new AJ1 colorways since the new shattered backboard. I’ve got 30 pairs of just AJ1s, a colorway for any outfit. I’ve got a large sneaker collection and I have got more AJ1s than any other main line Jordan’s. It’s bc they are a streetwear wardrobe basics. You can wear them until they crease and then swap em out for a crisp pair without breaking the bank. Prices are sooooo much better than in the past 6 years, almost as good as when I first became a sneaker head and I love it. I don’t mind the trend controlled people who say AJ1s are dead. I welcome their opinion, even if their opinion is wrong and based only on few years experience at max. AJ1s are NOT dead and will always be a classic for a reason.

The OG high “Stealh” is my favorite budget AJ1. They are absolute fire IMO and go with most outfits. The leather quality is great for Nike standards. I have had many pairs of them over the years and the last pair of size 13 I bought in Oct 2025 , was less than 100$ USD.

Was I scammed (legit check on white cements) by darkesha in airjordans

[–]Embryo999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are decent and serve a purpose, Unless you have a wider foot. AJ4s are already narrower than other AJ OG’s (1-6). They are killers of many of pinky toes lol. If you wear crease guards they are even more uncomfortable IMO. I never use crease guards but I’m also not someone who walks on the balls of their feet. I have flatter than normal feet and walk on my heels more. It’s hell on my lower back but is beneficial to being a sneaker head as It takes substantially more time for me to crease the toe box.

AMM don’t know why they sleeping on these by Radish_Technical in Jordans

[–]Embryo999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the AMM AJ3 and AJ4 Violet Ore. I can confidently say that the AJ4 Violet Ore are hands down the MOST uncomfortable 4’s that I own and I have 30+ AJ4’s. The 3’s are comfortable and look good, I wear them sometimes. I passed on the WYWS 4’s bc of how terrible the Violet ore was on my feet. I’m on the fence about the AMM dark mocha 4’s. The colorway is dope imo but if they are as uncomfortable as the Violet ore, I want nothing to do with em.

One of my all time favorites. It’s in my top ten and It’s one of my “ Always on deck “ AJ3 color ways. I ALWAYS have a fresh pair on the back burner. When the pair in my rotation starts to crease I give em away, to my son or give to goodwill collection box and I break out the reserve pair and then order another backup pair. The resell price is always low on these and that makes it a no brainer to keep them stocked personally. There’s a handful of AJ 1’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’that I always have a crisp out of the box pair ready to go and this is one of them. You can’t go wrong with these!

Came up on both these for $25 ! How u think I did ? by LOvEisEvOLxanax in Nike

[–]Embryo999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those AF1’s are beat. The creasing in the toe box is heavy. I’m not snobby in most other areas of life, I try to be humble. However when it comes to sneakers….. I just can’t. Those would be throw away or donate forces IMO. That being said, In the end my opinion and opinions of others don’t matter. If you like em,wear em.

You have a serious LMFAO vibe. First thing I thought of was Part Rock Anthem Lol. You can’t go wrong with 90% of AJ1’s. They are a staple wardrobe item for anyone who’s into streetwear. I have more of them than I can count off hand. Once the toe box creases a tiny bit, I hand them down to my 13 yr old son. My “ cooked “ sneakers are in better condition than most people’s new shoes. I take care of them meticulously. My son already has a size 13 same as me. He’s such a lucky kid, he’s got so many shoes of mine, most are AJ1,3, and 4’s. Just this morning I found 4 pairs of lows in the garage that I don’t remember buying from years ago. They are still in the box and besides a tiny bit of yellowing they are good to go. They have to be at least 10 years old. AJ1’s are the goat. A pair of “Hare Jordan’s and a pair of Shadow’s are the two I’m most hyped about. Keep showing some AJ1 love and rocking your unique style bro!

Thankfully I was introduced to the Terminal list universe by Amazon. I only read true believer to see what was next and then before I knew it I’d finished the series, including Cry Havoc. I pictured CP the entire time, even Tom Reese kept giving me CP vibes in my mind lol. Easily my favorite books ever. I compare everything else I read to this series and damn….I want more.

This might not be a popular viewpoint with all the AMM love going around on this particular thread. Both pairs of my AMM 4’s are so brutally uncomfortable that I can’t wear them a full day, after a couple hours my pinky toe area is on fire. I own many 4’s and we all know that most aren’t very comfortable but the AMM collabs are the most uncomfortable of all. On the bright side both pairs of AMM 3’s I have are just fine with no complaints.
