    Michael Jordan Sues Chinese Sportswear Retailer

    From Yahoo: In China, Air cheow-DAN Cries Foul He feels the need to protect his name, because, you know, apparently there are still 2 or 3 people left on Earth who DON'T know that when it comes to sportswear, MJ deals exclusively with Nike. Not that I condone ripping off intellectual property...

    Official Air Jordan IV white/cement release thread 2/18/12:::NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING:::

    I'm sure I'll get flamed by some of the noobs after this for saying what I feel. Got to agree with Iron Man though. It's not the internet, these problems nowadays are more about people and how they conduct themselves, along with JB manipulating and exploiting consumers. Things have never been...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    I thought I'd be wearing these more too. But I already had a regular rotation when these came along and haven't quite worked them in yet. One thing I've always said is that, especially in the case of the QS styles, this is a total summer shoe. Wearing them for the first time evoked images in my...

    Nike USA Olympic Basketball Pack

    Either would be INSANE. I've waited for forever for the Flight Lites. I'd also personally rather have a crack at the navy/gold BB4's than the ones they are releasing.

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    Wow, had no idea they had 3M on them. Wish they had it on the tongue, but I really like the look of them anyway. Just ordered a pair for $97.86 shipped, which to me isn't that bad of a price but I'd have liked a bigger discount if I could have found one. If I like them in person as much as I do...

    Does anybody know of any places selling the newest black/grey/white nubuck Trainer SC's yet? They haven't hit Eastbay and I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.

    Nike Air Force 180 Olympic 2016 | Release Date: 7/7/16 MSRP $140

    Pippen's Olympic Flight Lites would be INSANE. Been waiting 20 years for a shot at getting them again. I still have a DS pair of the Olympic Force 180's though, from '07 or '08 (whenever they were last released).

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    I think I acquired the last 13's in both colorways that Jimmy Jazz had, plus the discount. You can't beat less than $150 including shipping for both pairs, considering just ONE pair of Jordan Retros goes for more than that right now. So now I've tripled up on the QS pairs. And can feel...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    I have this shirt from a year or two ago, from when Nike started going on its "Knows" kick with its t-shirts: I don't know though, these current Nike tees are CHEAP bottom of the barrel quality. I usually just air dry all my tees to keep them looking new for as long as I can, but this Bo tee...

    So now that lots of us have our highly coveted QS's, what's the word on when these are coming: These and the black/metallic hematite/black pair that are already out look like they both make a pretty good Raiders color combo, and when it comes to Bo you've GOT to have at least one good Raiders...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    These did indeed release as a low cut Retro, in August of 2000 if I recall correctly. I still have 2 pairs of the Retro in 12.5 that I never wore. From what I recall, I only ever saw these at NTSF, so I don't think they were a general release and I don't think they made it to mainstream shops...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    You know Nike would probably charge about $300 for the jacket and $175 for the pants these days. I doubt either will come back, seeing as how they can't even seem to faithfully bring back Jordan Track Suits which were undeniably hot apparel items back in the day. But yes, I think ANY of the...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    YES, this is a TOUGH shoe, and one of the essentials on my list too: So I haven't been able to locate the Nike Spring 1990 ad that I have that had the first look at the Jordan V's and promoted other shoes across Nike's lines, including the Air Trainer SC II's. I'm going to try and get another...

    To Wally, my memory tells me that back in the day the Citron/Teals were slightly more of a neon yellow and today they seem to be not quite a neon green, though the two tone color pop really helps them. But that's the first thing I noticed when I opened the box this week, that they seemed...

    You guys (the south) and my family in the east stole all of California's heat this year. But don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining about it. LOL.

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    Just playing it up a little for a laugh. So I was able to get a pair of Infrareds locally yesterday, and they have the EXACT same gash like crease running along the midsole of the left shoe that my Citron/Teals have. I have a second pair of each coming next week from Sneaker Bistro. Hopefully...

    FINALLY, A RETRO OF THE NIKE TRAINER SC II 3/4 DONE RIGHT!! THANK YOU NIKE!

    On another note, having these again makes me want to throw on the neon infrared Maui and Sons shirt, the neon green Quicksilver surf shorts, and throw U Can't Touch This, Me So Horny, My Hooptie, Funhouse, The Power, Posse On Broadway, C'mon Babe, and even Ice Ice Baby on the old iTunes...

    I thought this particular model of Air Trainer SC (like the quickstrikes) originally released in Spring 1990? I'm totally mixed up on the numbering logic for the Trainer SC's. But somewhere I have a Sports Illustrated from February 1990 that has a Nike ad that takes up several pages. If I...

    Yeah, Premier in Palo Alto did this. Some chick that answers their phones kept telling me they were coming in so I called back every day for a week. Then yesterday, I think it was their owner that happened to pick up the phone, and he told me that they passed on the QS's. If she had actually...
