Why cant I vote on the 2's VS 5's or the 3's VS 4's? is anyone else having that problem cuz i can vote on the other ones
6 5 10 4
6 5 10 4 laser print is garbage mocha is garbage the toks and the olym. are the cleanst in this dividsion
"Beijing Olympics" VI's, "Tokyo 23" V's, "Black Laser" IV's & "Mocha" III's
When did people start calling Red Steel X's cherry's... Btw 5,2,10,4
Beijing, Tokyo 23, Black Laser, Mocha
Matchup #1 was a no brainer for Laneys Matchup #2 was tough i wanted the eminem 2's to go further but with a matchup like that i would have to take the Tokyo V's Matchup #3 The X's are good and all they just dont matchup to the Laser IV's Matchup #4 Had to be the hardest decision by far but Im gonna have to go with the Mocha III's Love thee Oreos though!!
IMO -Laney V's -Tokyo V's -White/Red X's (since when did they get the nickname cherry's?) -Mocha 3's.
Na i think so too. This is best non-og colorway for a shoe. Yellow and black is used on so many sneakers. I would take either the lightning or thunder 4s over the tokyos anyday but anyway this tournament is about non-og colorways so i take the eminem the way i am two's over the tokyo 5s. You will never see a cw and graphic on another shoe again.
vi v iv iii
Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo!!!!
Easy picks. Laney, tokyo, red 10s and oreo 4s. Hardest was mocha vs oreo ( Not a fan of either).
haha but theyre more expensive than tokyos lol
naw,i agree with him, those Em 2s are much better than the Tokyos.
They are not called cherries fags
easiest round so for ... probably because I have a weak spot for the oreos...that was the toughest one...
I love this, the choices are so hard!!!!
5 , 2 , 4 , 4
i hope they are looking for what to make next i need laneys and oreos and laser 4 anyone sz 11 ds?
thode eminems are some bilingual lookin shit. gross
its the lyrics to 'The Way I Am'
Yall going hard like this a real bracket V,V,X,IV
Beijing Olympics Tokyo X's NEITHER Mocha's or Oreo's
I asian, I'd prefer Tokyo......
laser 4s vs cherry 10s? definition of unfair.. first round ko laser 4s got it
HARDEST MATCH UP OH LAWWD MY BRAIN WAS FRYING
laneys, em's, lasers, oreos
Oreos and Laneys please..
Laney 5's, Tokyo 5's, Cherry 10's, Mocha 3's
we the only with these picks.. better taste!
Laney V's, Eminem II's, Black Laser IV's, and Oreo IV's for me
People sleeping on the "red steel" Xs
lasers just don't move me as much as like 4s...don't really know why
Laneys, Tokyo23's, Black Lasers, Oreos
Mocha's nappy as hell
5,5,4,4 shit is cake too easy!
FUCKKKKK MOCHA"S
Black Laser IV's all the way for me. Laneys are dope.. but Laser iv's imo are so tough
Laneys Tokyos 10s Oreos this was a lil bit agonizing...hard time with the Mochas and Em 2s
I went to Beijing, then I flew over to Tokyo and shot a laser through your double mocha cappuccino.
Vs and IVs.
Laney V Tokyo V Cherry X - hard pick but i was never particular about laser patterns Oreo IV
Laneys, tokyos, lasers, and Oreos. This vote was an easy descision.
Laney 5s, Tokyo 5s, Black Laser 4s, and Oreo 4s. This bracket was lopsided.
Laneys, Tokyos, 10s & Oreos....kinda difficult....oh well...agonized over the Mochas and Em 2s
the beijing vi's should not get a single vote. and the mochas better win
cookies or cofee?
laney,t23,laser,oreo
Laney, Tokyo, Laser, Oreo!!!
The Laneys Are Gonna Win This #NoQuestion.
