Recently picked up two pairs of these, whenever I see them pop up online. These shoes have an amazing feel to them.
Yeah I got a few gems in the stash. I did create the thread so I guess it's only right I have some good stuff to share.
Solo Flight 90 Jades. Don't think I shared these before but I'm not sure.
Some Vintage Ads: (no scanning, actual pics from 90's old magazines)
Somewhere in this thread I have the answer to this question, I just forget what page it's on. So I'll give you the quick story. Almost all of the vintage kicks I posted came from 1 guy. He started collecting kicks in the late 70s and ended up with roughly 10,000 pairs all said and done. My friend inherited the collection and I'm helping him sell them off. The recent Ewing retros are a direct result of this collection.
Nope these can stay in the past where they belong. Boring design that would very much look out of place now.
70's? I wonder what kind of condition the shoes are in, we all hear wear your shoes. I wonder how he kept them up to keep them clean.
Yep the mid to late 70s. A great deal of them are no longer wearable. That poly material they used on a lot of Nikes in the 90s just doesn't hold up. He was just a hoarder for shoes. He bought them and stacked them in his house and once there was no room left there he started filling storage units. Most of them were untouched since they were purchased. They have never been cleaned. Some real dusty ones in there. Lol.
Great stuff, a sneakerhead treasure, if you will.
I guess you will be the only one that will not cop than
According to previous post, I don't think anyone wanted to cop the recent release of them. Nike probably won't release these again ever.

Anybody know what Nike was officially calling the pink-orange color on these?
Those reds are beautiful, I got some nice retro plus ideas for these. a white/black/royal would be such an easy sell.
Here is the box for them. Maybe Radiant Orange?
