LA Gear Looking to Come Back with Classics
Dec 10, 2008 | Comments 13 |
The late 80s and 90s darling, LA Gear, is on a comeback trail. The brand recently linked up with Sportie LA to re-release "stitch by stitch reproductions" of several of LA Gear's vintage styles. Originally released back in '89-'90 as part of LA Gear's "Unstoppable" line, the '08-'09 retros include the LA Gear K.A.J, the LA Gear Star Shooter, and the LA Gear Fire.
The "Unstoppable" LA Gear line is available now at select Sportie LA shops and will be more widely available in 2009.

Wow. I used to have the Kareem Joints... I remeber being so sad I had to wear them to school, But I did rock both pair of laces though....
ohhhhhhhhh yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss
G.T.G.N.
Gahhhhbidge then...Gahhhhhhbidge now.
Payless Basketball shoes. Straight ugly. Stealing ideas from Nike/Jordans. LA Gear should've stayed in the grave.
Ah the memories!
Tim hop off Nike and Jordans Nuts.
My mate had a pair similar to these back in the day and when they wore out we opened up the sole to check out the "air system". If my memory serves me correctly it was nothing but a narrow piece of rock hard plastic just to give the impression of hollow camber...
IF THESE SAID NIKE ON DEM ALL U DICKRIDERS WOULDA BEEN LIKE "OH DEY HOT, WILL COP BLAH BLAH BLAH"
guys have no originality
DO THESE LIGHT-UP
No, but anybody wearin this gahbidge is gonna get lit up.
screw all u haters u kno u would rock the **** out of them...id buy all 3 pairs...itd be even better if they did light up!!!
all of them are crazy!! especially the first ones. im happy to see some different hightop classics. ah man too bad i live in canada, i should get my fam from LA to send me down a few pairs =)
The unstoppable is hot. It's an good alternative to AJ4. AJ4 has many fake ones out in the market. I just ordered one (silver color). But I agree that the air system is just a plastic plate. It's not as good as Nike. However, Air is not the only choice. Reebok is using hexalite, NB is using Azorb rubber, Puma is using cell. Asics is using Gel.
