Nike Shoes - Fender Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
No, I'm not kidding. Nike is branding a new pair of skate board shoes Fender Bass

Playing a Fender bass must have some marketing appeal

Check them out:

That's funny, they used a pic of my exact bass for that ad, and I can see why as the colors are similar. I don't like the silver toe or the general contours of the shoe though.

I like how they are pushing that they are mids, made me laugh. Also, nike and skate shoes? Yeah right, the only way you would get me to skate in those would be to pay me...lots.

These were my last pair of shoes, I miss them.


I now wear a slightly different version of these.


Time for new shoes, if Nike release Warwick Thumb shoes I'll buy those. Or EBMM Stingray shoes.

Me too.

Nah, I know they are mens. But I couldn't really care less what they are. I like them so I wear them.
