So...what shoes should I get?

I currently have a pair of Nike Jordan shoes (red and black) and a pair of Converse All-Stars (black and white). Today I got like a whole bunch of jeans from Aeropostale and similar brands and I doubt the Jordans will look good with them, but I don't know about the Converse (any advice on that? ). So if I'm going to get new shoes to fit those type of pants, which should I get?

jeans ? think of terry bogard and use a north star

Thread title is misleading. Shoes are what you wear when you're not playing sports. They are the footwear that potential employers will judge you by. Other men will rate you by the shoe that your feet are clad in. Women will decide whether or not you are worthy of their adoration, or their contempt, by the shoe that you chose to wear on that particular occasion.
Nike is not a shoe. Nor is Converse, They are synthetic footwear for pre-pubescent kids, or sporting apparel for those who are destined for a lifetime of agonising knee pain. They are 'trainers' at best. Anybody wearing such a 'shoe' outside of a sporting arena has the same fashion sense as a man in a Saville Row suit, wearing white socks.
You will not get hired. Your peers will sneer at you. You will not get laid. At best, you will hired as an 'Extra' in any second-rate TV or Movie production as Hoodlum number 13, no doubt attired with a matching pair of baggy jeans with a crotch that hangs somewhere below your ankles.
Real shoes look equally as good with an Armani suit as they do with a pair of Armani jeans. Real shoes make you look like a man. Anything less and you look like a tasteless tosspot that was dressed by his mother.
That is all.

Real men don't stress over shoes, and don't spend hours contemplating and seeking advice over which pair to buy. If your not in and out of a shoe store in 10 minutes, well...

Lol. I'll get another pair of Converse.

Yeah well I'm a teenager. I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not trying to get a job. I don't plan on moving around a lot with those types of shoes and risking getting them dirty and ugly. And I already have "real" shoes. And I really don't think those shoes would fit Aeropostale, Hollister, or Ecko apparel. Definitely not Ecko. I know how to dress properly for different occasions. I just don't want to spend too much time looking at "shoes" that I won't get or don't like. And the only reason I'm looking for shoes is because it's the only thing I can ask for, since my dad keeps asking me what I want for a present. I would gladly ask for nothing, but then I don't want to sound like an asshole to him.

phones gone that go "BANG"

do you guys remember a few months back when some guys iphone just burst into flames on a air plane? how dangerous are smart phones? Can they be life threating?? example: your on a call then suddenly the battery pops or the phone shocks you with a full charged battery. I know the situation seems extrame but anything can happen in the right conditions.

the phone banging is one of the most big issue in this times, this is why I self made a stainless and plastic (steel on display, plastic on battery side) case for my NS, in case the phone bang the weaked part explodes outside away from my head, so i'm safe, but because I'm aware for ppl nearby I've subscribed an insurance for this case, so everybody's fine
it's a really rare case, and always with no OEM batteries, or because Apple product are not so good at all

The tin foil on my head should protect me if the phone explodes near my ear, it's specially designed to protect my ears

It's not possible for this to happen with anything other than an Apple product, because every other phone has a different type of core.

Shocked? By the battery? The current is about 1 Ampere. I don't think that would cause more than a tingle when touching the contacts with your tongue (remember those 9V batteries? lol)

Let's talk bikes

Not the kind you pedal. The kind you twist a throttle on and hang on for dear life.
I know that a few of us ride, some of the guys I have seen here are on sport bikes and a few do track days. An HTC Rezound thread we were in had the topic of track days come up and rather than continue to derail Scott's thread I figured I would move the discussion here.
So, who here rides, and which of you do track days? What tracks? What kind of bike?
Have had a few myself... 2 Suzuki's, 4 Honda's, a Yamaha, a KTM, 6 Ducati's and now a Triumph. I live half an hour from Road Atlanta, and only a few hours away from tracks like Talledega, Barber, Jennings GP, Roebling Road, etc...
My girlfriend rides a 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and just did her third track day.
Anyone live around here also do them? Would be cool to meet up at one.
We try to do 1 a month if possible, but average more like every other month. Have a ton of videos on YouTube of the track riding, we have a real blast.
Anyone else?

Well, I won't suck up bandwidth posting pics of all 15 bikes, but here is my current ride, and a video of me on the track with it... The track video was from last July at Road Atlanta. The bike had not been tuned yet, was 18lbs heavier than it is now and was down on power with a leaking head gasket which I found out later to the tune of $1000. Was really bummed about that, but got it fixed, new exhaust and a tune and the thing is considerably quicker now, can't wait to get it back out on that track and see how much faster it will go.

I have not, but I would love to have one. An SV650 is not really a dual sport though. It's a naked vtwin sportbike. If you want to go off road a bit and hit some trails as well as tour on pavement, then you want something more like a Suzuki DR-Z, Kawasaki KL-R, things like that.

Plus when you live in the country and travel alot it would be nice to have. I can't ride and have to take my truck when I visit alot of my family because of dirt and gravel roads. Gas prices are making it worth getting an old dual sport.

To be honest, I know people that have them. You can take them on some fire roads and things, but I would not take one on a truly off-road trail.
It all depends on the terrain. The VStrom is very capable and versatile, but if you want to actually hit mud and trails, the DR-Z400 with some semi off-road tires is the one I would pick, or a Kawi KL-R650 or something. Those are basically large dirtbikes with lights and blinkers, whereas the V-Strom is an SV650 with a little more ground clearance that you can sorta take on very limited off road stuff.
The DR-Z and KL-R are actually dirt bikes made to be street legal, so if you have mud, ruts, trails and stuff to go through, I would use that. You can blast down a trail in the mud, jump stuff and then hose it off and ride it around town and on normal streets. That is really the best of both worlds, and 70mph doesn't suck either! hehe

Here is the one that I would pick if I was gonna spend more time offroad than on...
http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product.../DR650SE/2012/DR650SE.aspx?category=dualsport
Single cynlinder, air cooled, very solid and simply motor. Not much to go wrong, like dropping and cracking the radiator or something. Just give it gas and oil and go. It's a 650 so it has nice torque, and you could take that on an MX track and jump it and hit muddy trails and stuff and still ride it around town.
If you are looking more for advanture riding or touring, then I would say that the VStrom is an awesome choice. You just have to ask yourself how much offroad time you think you will have, and will it just be dirt roads, or real serious off-roading?

I used to have one of them fast bikes but then I got old and bought me this one
It saves me about $85 a week on gas compared to my F150

Those are alot cooler, but I have dirt bikes. Not looking for something I can hit trails with and go into town. Looking for something I can load down with saddle bags and not look back for a few weeks. Head up to some national parks and be able to ride down the logging roads. I'd like the on road handling of the vstorm. That is where I'd have it mostly. I mean the trip up to Yosimeti sp? is mostly highway. But I'd take the smaller state highways and camp out the whole way. That's what I'm looking for. Plus the dr, you would have to re route the exhaust to fit bags on it. It's not really a tourer.

My buddy had a Virago 750, great bike!
I think that it is cool that today, you can be "old"(LOL) and get a fast bike that is comfortable.
There has been a surge of demand for fast capable sportbikes that don't require a trip to the chiropractor when you get home. So there are a ton of naked, upright bikes, that are light, agile, and have ripping motors in them.
Yamaha FZ1
Triumph Speed Triple 1050
Triumph Street Triple 675
Ducati Monster 696/696/1100
Ducati Streetfighter 1098/848
Ducati Hypermotard 796/1100 EVO
Kawasaki Z1000
Kawasaki Ninja 1000(amazing bike, very comfortable, a ZX10 for the street)
Honda CB1000r
You get the idea. Lots of demand for bikes that are lightning quick, you can toss on the track, or ride across the state on in relative comfort. With the economy tightening up, a lot of people cannot afford to have the cruiser for cruising, the race bike for the track, and a sportbike for fast street riding or the Mtns... They want one bike that can do very well across the board and there are some amazing options out there right now.
Best bang for the buck for a bike that is incredibly light, agile enough to hang with an R6 in the Mtns, can do a track day with ease, and let you tool around town all day long in comfort, is the Triumph Street Triple 675. Strap some soft luggage to it and go touring, and when you get there go tear it up in the Mtns with the sportbike crowd...

Ah, then in that case your best bet is the VStrom for the money, they are meant for exactly what you are describing. If the money were available, I would probably go with a Triumph Tiger 800, but the cost difference is substantial, so while the Tiger might offer better offroad with the same on road capabilities, I think the cost difference doesn't make it as good a value. It costs a lot more, and that money could be spent on accessories, luggage, gear and a year's worth of fuel. LOL

Have a track day coming up, anyone in the Southeast that is interested, I can get you an invite. It's a private track day at Little Talladega on Sunday April 15.
Went riding with the girlfriend this weekend up in the Mtns. She overshot a turn and went wide and into the gravel. Ended up tucking the front and as it dig in to the dirt it sorta high sided her over the front. Just some bruises and busted plastic, she dusted herself off and continued the 100 mile ride home.

Cracked Nexus 4

I don't post much but i had to post this. If you have a nexus 4 get a case ASAP. I have had many phones before this and i have never seen a phone crack so easily. I have Thrown my vibrant and nexus s ( not new of course) and they never shattered. This thing fell out of my pocket onto the floor while sitting at my desk. I measured the distance at approx. 2.5 feet. It looks like i flung it off a cliff. Gorilla glass my ass. I could understand if it cracked but this thing had chunks of glass coming off of it some of it splintered into my thumb.

I am not pissed just shocked at how much damage. I only posted to let others know not to hold out on a case and get one ASAP until they find something that suits them better.

I'd think, at least for paintball, you're wearing way too much, weighing yourself down. I'd go for camo colored paintball specific pants and matching camo colored jersey. You may also find a nice vertical pod pack that isn't black.
From over a decade of experience, I'd say tournament style gear and tactics work very well even in scenarios. Weighing yourself down with military looking stuff is a handicap (especially in under-performing military looking markers, whereas camo colored variants of speedball gear will keep you much more mobile and places highest interest on function.

Not particularly. AK-47 isn't good as a precision weapon.

I'd think, at least for paintball, you're wearing way too much, weighing yourself down. I'd go for camo colored paintball specific pants and matching camo colored jersey. You may also find a nice vertical pod pack that isn't black.
From over a decade of experience, I'd say tournament style gear and tactics work very well even in scenarios. Weighing yourself down with military looking stuff is a handicap (especially in under-performing military looking markers, whereas camo colored variants of speedball gear will keep you much more mobile and places highest interest on function.

Mobility is quite good. My mid rift is free. Arms are uninhibited. The weight is well distributed. The weight is on my ribs and back. All very close to me.

But, can you slide? Plus, the helmet and extra hardware aren't good for bounces.
Just my opinion, but on more than one occasion I've played a scenario without even trying to camouflage myself, sporting a shiny forest green or polished silver "speedball marker" and mowed down seasoned scenario veterans because they often don't know what to do when you're snap-shooting, gunfighting like you train hard (because I did), running, jumping, sliding into bunkers and generally making city fights a living hell for them (and also sneaking and crawling through the brush with far less to snag on bushes).
Again, just an opinion from a guy who started playing back in the first half of the 90's.

I don't slide. I'm defensive. I go to the outskirts and move in to the center. I just run or walk or roll.

You don't know what you're missing. Start off with simple gunfighting drills (snap-shooting with the one-ball check-in rule, dodging paint, etc.). When a scenario player (or whole team is better) embraces drills and skills that you normally only see on an airball field, it can totally change the event.

I've tried it. Not my style.
