Yeah tell me about it. Just goes to show you should wear your shoes and not let them sit. I wore them quite a bit but they were still in good condition. Also have a pair of Air Khumbu crumbling as well. I had those in college.

Yea I went to most of his matches at the U.S. Open throughout his entire career. That was obviously at Louis Armstrong Stadium when tickets were harder to come by as there weren't as many seats. And the Nike booth was at it's best during the 90's.

I never heard of these flares until now but no thank you unless they look much better in person.

FLARES! Hell yes!!
I remember hooping in those Flares one summer. Not sure why I decided they'd be good bball shoes, but they worked.

It makes sense though as a lot of the movement is similar... lots of multi-directional movement, split-steps, direction changes. In fact, I think lots of basketball shoes would be good tennis shoes... minus the durability factor.I remember hooping in those Flares one summer.

what's a 2007 pair of these valued at?
I'm on the hunt for a pair but you just can't find them.
This is my all time fav colorway of this shoe, but that black/teal/purple has my eye as well.

The choice of color blocking on the tongue logo is stupid, but whatever....close enough.
Now to see how the "leather" quality is.

I did play a lot of tennis in some Kobe 6s and 7s, but I dont know too many other basketball shoes I would play in (kobe 8s and 9s would probably dis integrate at the toe). Don't know if I would want to play in something higher off the ground like lebron 7 8 9 and 10.
I would definitely ball in tennis shoes without fear though.

Eh. the fact that they reversed the swoosh is a much bigger deal to me than the swoosh color. This look really amazing, I can't wait to see what else Nike has in store for us.
