I'm pretty sure the first c/w was in '98 black/desert red.

Cute daughter, and nice pickup on those bursts.



On the paint job, i think you could have done the sides a bit neater, but still clean regardless! good job man.
 
Nely- Whenever you pick something up it amazes me that you're able to find whatever it is in your size.
 
Cris - that's a priceless pic right there

EEntegra - good work on the midsoles, some areas could have been cleaner tho and it's a bit glossy/shiny isn't it?

i'm certain that the nickname for 87's stemmed from the the chili nickname on the retro 95's.

as for the 95's getting that nickname........i also think that it did stem from another colorway because they were many different "grey/red" c/w's and a "chili red" sounds right in line with desert red, varsity red, pimento red, etc. i could be wrong but someone out there has to know what's up.

Top pair is the men's 3m pair from back in '99. I bought those in Finishline back in the day when Finishline carried some HEAT! Dang I am an old guy still collecting sneakers.
 
Mayhemgatz - gracias again! I am happy with them to say the least!

phnrprman - thanks for the info. For some reason or another, I thought they were women's. No worries, I think a few of us are oldies but goodies lol.

It amazes me too lol. But, all credit is due to Sling.. he always finds gems for me. Not including other folks.
Btw, I forgot to thank you for the welcome. I also wasn't aware that you were on NT as well, but then again, I shouldn't be surprised ;-)

It's official then,
Wearing these today:

MIZZ KICKZ- I'm mad, just had a terrible experience with a seller that tried to take my money and run......got my money back though. Props to you!

KING- those run true to size , if you can find spruces for under 2 bills, that's a great price IMO. keep in my the painted midsole isn't great..

Thank you! And, sorry to hear that! I don't get what causes a person to want to do that. I guess lack of morals. Glad you ended up getting your money back.
Thank you sir. Sneaker world is such a small place, the seller is a friend of a friend it turns out.
 
'Sup guys. Check out ebay seller hittin-groove. He's got some pretty nice 96's (both mens and womens) in good sizes
 
Gooey- im gonna try that. I dont think they are falling apart but the guy prolly nicked them on something at one point but he didnt put anything about it in the description. ohh well you saw what I paid cant expect DS or anything. gonna repaint the bottoms.
DENVER- they are the 01's. Ill take a better flick of the little crack when i get my camera back. want some thoughts on that little guy!
MIZZKICKS- SOOOOO jelous of those lights!!
EENTEGRA- Them baby blue burst make me cringe! nice paint job. ill be doing that soon. there a certain brand acrylic you like to use?
