Review: these fit true to size for me (Normal width feet) and these get mad sock boogers around the ankle collar (wish they used a different material to not attract sock boogers) lol

Sophomore in high school. First air max I fell in love with and still my favorite. Before that I only cared about basketball shoes.

I was in Team Jordan kicks, Pennys and other sigs till these too. lol

 

[stuckinthe90s]

I just called every Shoe Palace within a 50 mile radius of me. Seems like no stores are getting Silver Bullets in store. I guess this is just an online release for them.

You mean lint balls / piling yea it's quite annoying. Either you wear some quality socks that are the same color as the inner heel, or buy a shoe that uses leather / pleather for the collar.

Or just buy better quality socks. Or buy a clothes shaver.

Yeah...Golds will be way harder but this time I'll be more prepared. I wonder when they will drop.

Anyone know the main differences between the women's pairs and GS pairs? Wanting to know whether there's a difference in  a women's size 7 and a GS size 5.5 as far as aesthetics go.

Silver Bullets were an easy grab here in SA...only 3 of us in line.  Had a good convo with another OG old head whilst waiting for Finishline to open.  I see you Ron.  

  40+ crowd represent.  

Anyhow, glad to have these back.

Reunited w/ fellow 9-7 brethren:

Copped my tts 11, .5 size up would have been too long in the toe box.

Copped my tts 11, .5 size up would have been too long in the toe box.

I also wear an 11 and I have skinny and narrow feet. Tried the 11 on and it felt alright then tried on the 11.5 and it felt way better. The 11 didn't have enough wiggle room for my toes. Spent about 15 mins going back and forth between the 11 and 11.5.

I thought they retailed for $200 back in 97?

Couldn't of been that much I remember $150.
They're managed to keep these at the same price that they were 20 years ago so why is it that other models from nike and JB have skyrocketed in price because of "inflation"

I found out that it was $175 US and like 200 something overseas.

SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR ME...#GREATMEMORIES...HOLLA!


CED B.

Junior year...good to know the old folks still in here

Babies (not srs). I was out of HS and 20 lol. Didn't get the OG; however, I remember calling around and getting them from Niketown Denver i think it was. Things were a lot different back then. Was no NT for me. Just recall seeing them on TV and was yo! I need those stat! Maybe like '01/'02 timeframe?  Went TTS on the current model, but remember go .5 up on that pair for some odd reason.

One of these fine days I'm going to look through the boxes of crap I have in storage and see if I can find those relics. I'm sure they're all sorts of trashed, but ... would be nice just to see them again.

Rep given to the dude several pages back about the t shirt.

I was talking to local FNL guy yesterday, who told me they had no 12.5s in the system. It's a pretty rare size to begin with and seems more so for FNL.

My sz 12 will work, but I have a foot that would love the .5 size around the toes. It will work and no complaints here.

I also talked to a FTL guy yesterday who told me 12.5 was online - which I was furiously trying for and obv L- but not brick and mortar.

Who knows, while I believe him, as I've posted before, many years ago as a college student I worked in one of the aforementioned stores. Employees either didn't know, didn't care, or just made up answers to questions like that. It also occurred to me that every single associate and manager (and they've been there for years) is gone from one of the very high profile FTLs in this area.

The Sean Go vid answered another question I had about widows peaks. My pair also had the terrible midsole paint job and a lot of blemishes everywhere. Still not mad, still not disappointed.

It seems several spots around Orange County had several pairs in varying sizes even today - I didn't get to go to any of the stores - man, some of you dudes with the jobs and lifestyles that allow you to just stroll out on a Thursday

. That's a win right there.
