I wear a 13 in Jordan and seemed to need a 13.5 or 14 in these. 13 was a little snug and I have a skinny foot.Lots of padding and materials on the inside of the shoe.

Wow, forgot I had these in '92...freshman year of HS. I'm glad these were an easy purchase. Can't wait for these to arrive!

Probably. Would imagine there are a lot better, lighter, performance shoes out there to choose from.
I remember when these came out. Everybody was wearing Nike Pumps and Jordans. These sat on shelves and were huge discount shoes.

Yeah...honestly though...what didn't sit back then? You could take your time convincing the P's to get you that pair and not worry about it! I remember going to the mall for a month before I was able the pick up the Black/Red VI's the year before. Heck, even in '97 when I was in college, I was wishy-washy on the pearl foams for a long time before I scooped them up. It was all so easy back then...

I'm just interested to see what happens this time around. Will they sit? How much discount will they go? Only $100 dlvd right now and honestly THAT is a good deal nowadays. Hope they sit like the 180 did last year or the year before.

I feel like these will be like the nike air zoom flight 98, once people see what these look like on feet, they'll be gone. I got my pair with a $20 discount and what a great purchase, beautiful shoes, comfortable, and they look amazing on feet IMO.

I can care less about lightness & performance. To be quite honest, I hate lighter shoes to ball in. I like that old, heavy, leather, feet sweating, feeling of basketball sneakers from the 90's. But maybe it's just me.

yeah I'm getting for outdoor play as well. Expecting the outsole to be durable. Hope the shoe doesn't break on me too fast.

I'm jive shocked at the responses here.
This is the third time these have re-released since '03 -- first time they did them dirty and changed them up.
Signs of the time I guess...

I want a pair for outdoor ball this summer hope they are on a deep discount by then. These could have such better colorways thrown on them though.... pretty disappointing tbh.

I agree man. I balled in them outdoors the last time they came out, I was in high school. That's where I fell in love with these. Gonna pick up another pair to hoop in for sure if they hit the clearance.

Got 1 pair. I was gonna get 2 but held off to see if the red ones come out and when.
What years in chronological order were these released?
I've bought these every time they have been released. Love some fresh air raids!!!!
