Oh wow I remember Spalding shoes... cheap and terrible quality lol. Never owned any but definitely checked them out. We've certainly come a long way in quality when just any old brand today can have decent stuff made in China with their name on it. Back in the 90s that was definitely not the...

I really didn't plan to get these, but when you put it that way...

Until just this last year the ATC II retros and ATC Hybrids had a pretty tight toebox so they tended to fit smaller, but length was TTS. The ATC III and IV were fine. The more recent ATC II toebox has improved quite a bit and they fit much more TTS than my 2019 ATC II Lavas.

Lol you just described the last 30 years. I'm probably missing something but III's only came around in their primary colorways in 2007(well, an attempt was made) and 2015. The IV's in 2016. There's no end to the stream of II colorways, but III's and IV's are extremely rare.

I was lucky to have the Air Trainer SC IIs, ATC IVs, the yellow ATC Huaraches, and the white/brick/flint AC LWPs. Now I got the IVs, but damn I want those LWPs again... can live without the Huaraches lol. I've been hearing GenX are the new Boomers but I swear our good taste just won't allow...

Fair point, I should be more sympathetic. Play the game long enough and you'll get got for real.

"Got you good"? Either you thought they were worth the price you paid when you paid it, or you did not. Nobody got you, nobody forced you. Would I like to pay less? Sure. Do I feel bad when prices drop after I pay? Sure. Do I blame Nike? Don't be silly. -Dave

I finally realized why I like the Tarts so much.. I'm not even really a big fan of the IIs in general. The Tarts are low-contrast, but still colorful. The Racer Pinks are low contrast also I guess... but pink. Better looking than I expected, but still not sure about the pink part heh. I...

Well, I didn't get any bill... but I'm still holding my breath lol. Carved out a spot for them in the rack, but not sure when I'll wear them yet...

No, mine are shipping from Sweden and should be here in a couple days. $16 USD for UPS regular, $22 for UPS Express made Express a no-brainer. Doubled up to amortize the shipping cost heh. We'll see how the tariffs go.. I might be screwed HAHAHA fml. Will update here in a couple days I guess!

Good find, thanks for the tip! They appear to only ship Nike/Jordan within EMEA though unfortunately for some of us.

Here ya go.

I wear mine maybe once a month or so. They’re fine. I rotate through with the French Open ATC3, a couple cerise ATC4, and PB&S ATC4 of similar age and they only seem to have wear issues not age-related deterioration. Maybe because I do wear them tho. Now that I’m more into heritage boots I’m...

What blows my mind is that their release was covered in this thread.
