I'm interested if someone could delve into the Niketalk archives and pinpoint the exact post/moment when the Nike Air griping began. Funny to me, the essence of the shoe hasn't changed, but that little detail hurts so many people's feelings.
LOL how the hype is great within you. Bought these off Eastbay back in '99, more than a year-and-a-half after it dropped, for $50. Those were the gat-damn days! And the material was so much thicker and beefier, now these re-issues have thin foam that takes away from its rounded, puffy shape.
Favorite Jordan highlight, per se, would be in the 92 Finals VS the Blazers when he drops a jumper and backpedals while shrugging his shoulders, wearing a ****-eating grin from ear to ear.
Columbia XIs have this weird way of yellowing on the patent leather upper, contrasting from the icy blue of the sole. That PE is very arousing, however.
