Nike 6.0 + ID = Awesome shoes!
by spoiledgoods
Posted: Nov 21, 2008
Nike released their 6.0 series of shoes a short while ago, and has had a very strong following. The 6.0 series was designed around kids who shred it, and want to look steezy while doing it. With such riders as Brandon Semenuk, and Mike Spinner rocking the 6.0 shoes, Nike has created a large following of rippers.
Recently Nike released their 6.0 ID program. Read on to find out more information on this unique, custom shoe designing system.

Nike has had a firm grip on the sports industry when it comes to athletic wear for a long time. More people day to day wear Nike shoes than any other brand, so it's no wonder they have such a massive following. With the release of the 6.0 series of shoes, Nike created a line of "skate style" shoes that were all designed around one purpose, to make your ugly feet look sweet, and that's exactly what they achieved.
Now Nike has released the ID program. What is ID? Well, ID usually stands for Identification. What's identification? A way of proving who you are. When you go to buy booze, get into the bar, get over the border, basically anywhere you have to prove your age, you will require ID.
So what does Nike ID have to do with getting into the bar? or to buy booze? Umm ya nothing, it doesn't. You will not be able to hand the bouncer your shoes and expect for him to know your age, however, you can show him how cool you are by having your own custom shoes.
Nike ID is a way to express who you are, without having to prove to Nike that you can rip it hard enough to have your own line of shoes. Nike ID is a website where you're able to customize your own shoes, everything from materials, to colors, to fit. You'll be able to select from a list of sport and casual shoes to start your designs on, and after that you can break it down to your style.
Not only that, but Nike is also allowing you to customize what it says on your shoes. So not only will you look fresher than ever in your color coordinated bar-star outfit, but your shoes will even say your own awesome slogan on it. There are a few limitations to what you can write on the heel, but that added touch really makes them extra unique!
After you have designed your own custom kicks, you can order them from Nike. For around the same price as a normal pair of shoes, you can have your own, completely custom, blinged out Nike shoes. Sweet! So cruize on over to Nike ID and customize your own fancy shoes. No one will have the same pair as you!
Now that is unsafe

Way to complicated

The reason why Jordan has so many typo's

you should make a whole bunch of them and put them in the pinkbike store, they'd be gone in a second.

i won a free pair of kicks on that site, won a contest to design university of oregon themed shoes... i'll probably get my next pair off there too since size 15's are super hard to find.

The sole in the pedal area of my forward foot was gone in under a week on my 6.0's -- same story with my friend's... I'm sticking to my 5.10s.
Strangely only the forward foot... guess I use it more in spins.

I've got to agree. I've tried Nike for everything from hiking boots to cross trainers. They wear out too quickly for me (and I'm not a fan of that f**king color rainbow look).

indeed.....that much cash coming in, and competing with adidas too, there'd be some awesome new products, comps, sponsorship deals, publicity etc...hell, even the I.O.C wouldn't be able to ignore biking then 
tbh, there're many more ethical reasons not to buy Nike...I'd love to say I'm a tree-hugging-perfect-karma-anti-globalist-tofu-welder but I'm not. I'm a consumer and will buy from whoever makes the best product I can afford (just not in those colours...stay away from the fairy-food before ordering next time PB)

You can make your own customization too, just do it yourself...............

Just get it shipped to a freight forwarder in the states. I used a company called shipitto to get my Burton coat into Canada, it cost me an extra $30 but was totally worth it.
shoes are awesom had three pairs already. although they dont seem to last to long and the sole wears out quickly but thats what you loose for soft shoes. obviously.
bit late though ID 6.0 has been out for two months now.

Umm Vans has been doing this since the 70's. Wear what you want but id rather support brands that have a long term interest in mtb and bmx. Addias, rebok, even converse all
tried to do skate/bmx shoes in the 90s as soon as sales slowed down it stopped. Vans, etnies have been supporting
for a long time and make good stuff and there is a newer bmx specific shoe company called lo-tek who is making some
great shoes that i rode all 2008 that have held up excellent.

Thats what I'm talkn about. We're all consumers and we dictate the market so lets buy from companies who give back and share our passion. You can't very well buy from small companies all the time but Nike is not one I would choose to support. I come from a skateboard background and they have been trying to buy their way into small niche sports for two decades without giving back. And when they give a little money it's purely tax write off situations. As far as I'm concerned Nike can take their motified dunks and blow.
Yeah scotch ive been rockin the lotek aitken nightwolf synthetic mids. They along with the old vans rowley xlt's are my favorite ridin shoes.
yeah 6.0 are sweet im on to my second pair purly beacause my old ones were the only pair i had and they were extremely messy
sweatshop approved!
Shimano DX rule your face. Shimano is a Bikes Belong & IMBA member.
Support companies who give back to the industry.

I dont think that nike has failed on the skate shoe scene... some SB's sell for upward of a thousand dollars. Personally, i enjoy nikes shoes, and have ridden 6.0s for 2 yrs now. Im on my 2nd pair, and I like them alot.
Ugly as hell. Who wants hot pink on their shoes? Nike needs to stick to making basketball shoes. I'll stick with my fiveten shoes for riding.

Those look like Clown Shoes. This is another attempt at a lame company jumping on the train waaaayyy after it left. Buy from brands that helped forge these sports. 5-ten for DH, etnies, DC, Vans for skate, etc.
my nice makes her own nikes like this.. with paint and markers.. and she is 16 ! ! ! so that would say enough.. dont support child laybour ! ! buy 5-10s.. in bomber edition and paint them yourself..
