Here are some PEs I've been holding onto for years. They're all from when I was in high school, around '03-'07.
Nothing special from a cost standpoint but all players I liked growing up.

I miss the old days of checking this board to see what "Gems" have been unearthed.....Instagram seems to be the forum now.....not as fun....
Enjoy the Masters everyone!!!
Any more info? I love cross sport hybrids. Who were they made for? What year?
Any more hybrids out there? I know the Moss, McNabb, Sapp and T.O. cleats come to mind. Any other examples of these cross sport hybrids besides JB and football? (not that those PEs are anything to sneeze at)

Back in 2009 Kevin Durant sent out this tweet
"Headed to majors in Georgetown on wisconsin ave...come holla at me"
He also posted on facebook
"i'm going around d.c. giving out shirts, t-shirts, shoes, and posters. follow me (http://twitter.com/Kevindurant35) and Nike Basketball (http://twitter.com/nikebasketball) on twitter to find out where i'm headed next."
and this album of photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.126168961654.106270.81781281654&type=1
My brother and I took him up on that offer and when we arrived the store was empty with the exception of Kevin Durant, one or two of his friends and a Nike film crew taping for nikebasketball.com. Durant was picking out a whole bunch of hats and shirts he wanted from the store while talking with the store's employees. He was being very generous on this day as he went to the park he rused to play at in georgetown and gave other sneakers and gear to all the kids playing ball.
We spoke with Kevin telling him we saw his tweet and we happy to meet him. He asked us what size shoe we were and then sent his friend outside to his truck to get us some pairs from a truck filled with shoes. My brother and I each got a different pair. I got the Hyperize size 10 and my brother got the KD1 size 11.5. We then asked him to sign the shoes, in which he did and the box. To this day these two pairs are still unworn and have only been taken out for these pictures. (in the dropbox link)

If you remember when they were first released in August 2009 (Same time I received this pair)and were brought to attention on blogs following this music video/commercial featuring the shoe's figureheads, Kevin Durant, Rashard Lewis, Andre Iguodala, and Mo Williams
.
The colorway I was given appears to be an Oklahoma City Thunder PE for Durant. I have looked online and never found another example in this color. They very well may be 1 of 1. The tag inside the shoe reads Promo Sample 20090525. The orange is a really nice shiny metallic pearl.
Thanks for reading,

Great story and awesome KD pairs up there. Must have been a great experience.
Always nice seeing the High School PEs of LeBrons. Anybody know the reason why they stopped doing the sig pairs and only do the Soldiers now?

sho3tym- thanks for the answer. I completely forgot about the 9s. Those high school PEs were just uninspired colorways, imo. Cant wait to see pics of the Xs.
^Nice OG Griffeys up there. As much as I enjoy seeing the new stuff, I really love seeing the Old School PEs from before the PE scene blew up. I imagine that back in the 90s, some guys in a basement at Nike were throwing SMUs and PEs together for the signature athletes.
