I made a similar thread like this in the Spot...this how I feel bout them
Mauris: I was rockin these between like 02-06..i kind of retired them because everybody and they mama had a pair..i think i gave a pair away to my younger cousin, who's 19
Prada: Before people jumped on the bandwagon, I had a blue/grey pair back in like 04..I copped another pair (red/grey) last year..i see more people wearing them now..a female friend of mine, who's a store manager at neiman marcus, got me the crocodile red/grey pair (that cost damn near a G) last month..so im a rock those in the summer time
Gucci: dudes been rockin gucci sneakers since the 80's..i got my first pair of gucci sneakers like around 10 years ago..since then ive been hook
Now take into account that I have a substantial job and own a house in the suburbs..I left the hood a minute ago, so buying a pair of any of these sneakers wont hurt my wallet..plus my dudes, if u can cop a pair of gucci/pradas/mauris and dont have enough to pay ur rent, then thats assbackwards and u should know better..But wat are ya'll thoughts

Not my cup of tea but to each their own. When I hear prada, I think of women's purses. The only thing gucci a man should wear are dress shoes/loafers. When it comes to Mauri, I only associate alligator shoes with them.

well to each its own..people have different taste and thats to be respected..its a NY/NJ thing I suppose..For the most part, dudes rock prada/gucci/mauri sneakers out to the clubs..those are considered to be dress sneakers and if u goin to a nice sophisticated club, especially in the tri state area, u cant rock regular sneakers..so thats one of the reasons why we rock them..but as I said before, to each its own
prada world cups are ugly as hell...the all black ones are OK but i wouldn't wear em. Now i'm a loafer guy so there are some hot Prada and Gucci loafers...
Never really felt any of the gucci sneakers...way too tacky...the gucci slip ons are cool though

Not my thing either I make my living a different way then you and I have no need for something like that. I only need sneakers for working out or chilling. I may cop a gucci outfit with the shoes to match if I can find a spot online to get em.

I think males who rock designer anything are pretty feminine. Might as well scream look at me, I'm a attention whore.

umm i didn't read, but it depends on the sneaker. i'm not into logo's.. gucci monograms just look like you bought them off a rack in bangkok or something..
italian leather shoes on the other hand.. umm yes.

I fuk with them all. I just rock the gucci loafers though cuz too many nikkas got the fake sneaks. The mauris I wear to the club. Cant hit a nice spot without some alligator sneakers or nice desiginer loafers.

Meh...I'm not really into monogram things and when Malfoy told me that the LV speedy wasn't all leather that kinda killed my dreams of having one...
I kinda get in where I fit in with high fashion label purchases. I buy what I can afford so my purchases are a every now and then kinda thing...lol
I just brought some gucci sneakers Friday only cause of the pre-sale joint, trying to take it easy with the heels this summer and they fly as hell for a mens sneaker...imo

I know I prob. could but I only paid $85 more for the real joints with free shipping. The only way to get these sneakers is from the store/website as pre-order -You can't walk out with them until June 2nd...

maybe now but those joints are so common its not even funny. I am not a big fan of the gucci sneakers. Nobody seem to mess with LV :thumbsdow oh its not mainstream or all over tv.

Gucci sneaks are cool, but I can't see myself blowin all that money for a pair fam...and I personally think pradas are ugly as fukk:smh:

05-26-08, 03:42 PM
Like i stated earlier i haven't drop retail price on pradas since 2006. They have them at the prada store for 165$ and up. I am tired of pradas now shyt i just sold my 06 joints for 150$. I took a big L but once hoes started to recognize my sneakers on my myspace page which been there forever :thumbsdow...I decide its stupid to drop 330$ and have people questioning its authenticity. Right now dunks>>>gucci,pr,lv to me....
plus gas price is ridiculous...I was doing that at 21 so at 24 i know better....I'm trying to get this B.A degree and make 100k a yr then i do my ballin thing then...right now its about getting to the top
