While clearing out some old things at my brother's a few weeks ago, there was a shoebox that I found:
View media item 192180
The shoes weren't inside (guess they were thrown out a long time ago) but based on the size, I assumed they belonged to me.
Fast forward to today when I decided to look up info on these shoes and they were part of a nationwide recall.
Part of the reasoning for the recall:
Sure enough, my pair had model number 830080. I don't think my parents ever returned the shoe for recall but wherever they bought it from already had marked it down to $39.99.
Does anyone else remember either wearing this shoe or playing in it? (were they decent hoop shoes?)

Part of the reasoning for the recall:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), NIKE USA Inc., of Beaverton, Ore., is recalling about 350,000 pairs of men's basketball shoes sold under the name "Air Face Up." The basketball shoes have a small, decorative metal rivet located on the outside of the shoe that can bend and form a sharp edge.
NIKE has received about 35 reports of high school and college age basketball players receiving cuts to the lower legs, including two reports of players requiring stitches.
The NIKE Air Face Up men's basketball shoes being recalled are model numbers 830080, 139358 and 630327.
